   This chapter of Knoth's Gospel speaks of forging a blade to cut the throat of the 'spider eyed lamb'. Knoth recounts gathering disciples from various lands, including Al-Barquq and Holy Faith, and from 'impotent apocalyptans in Los Alamos'. He describes being pursued by 'Publicans and their tax collectors' and moving as a 'tribe born wandering in no man's desert'. Knoth mentions the Lord giving Ezekiel many wives and that he himself turned away none, including 'thief, whore, rapist, addict, murderer, pedophile, cripple'. He references biblical figures like Abraham, Jacob, David, and Solomon in relation to his own practices. The text commands against taking a woman as a rival to her sister while the other is alive, and against taking daughters as rivals to their mothers. It states that wives and daughters will become warriors and that the goal is to multiply until one's line becomes a nation from which 'the Enemy shall emerge'.

   Addressed to Reverend Prophet Sullivan Knoth from Laird Byron, as recorded by Nick Tremblay. The letter thanks Knoth for extra copies of his Gospels, which were gifted to those with 'brains and eyes still intact'. Laird states they are in need of more 'sacramental' for drinking in communion, comfort, and disinfection of sores. The flock complains that Knoth has promised more than he has given. Laird mentions controlling them by voice and fist but prefers the gentle path. The letter concludes by calling Knoth beloved of God and a holy gift.

6. DOCUMENT #29: KNOTH'S GOSPEL CH. 2

   Chapter 2 of Knoth's Gospel instructs listeners to gird their loins, ready their minds, be open and sober in patience for revelation, and be obedient as children to parents, parents to Prophets, and Prophets to God and His angels. It states that lies of tradition received from fathers are not incorruptible, and the line of Adam is corrupted beyond salvation by the line of Cain. It criticizes Jews, Christians, and Moslems for sowing damnation. The text advises against receiving vain conversation from fathers and to pass time in fear, not ignorant lust. It commands defending Heaven by spilling the blood of the 'spider-eyed lamb', the Enemy, the unborn prince of lies, and to be holy as God is holy.

7. DOCUMENT #30: VAL'S JOURNAL PT. 2

   Dated March 9, this journal entry describes the morning's event where six children, though not of blood relation, met the blade. The author wept as if for their own offspring, recounting cutting Marcus' throat deep enough to scrape the spine, yet he still writhed on the pyre. Papa smiled and sang about gathering at the river, with all voices of Temple Gate joining in chorus, except one. The author expresses a desperate plea for God to answer, either by words or action, and fulfill the prophet's promises. They feel that the continued silence, despite sending oblations into the earth by blood and into the sky by burnt flesh, is a message in itself, questioning if anyone loves God as much as they do.
