Igreja Messiânica, Agricultura Natural e a salvação pela natureza

Abstract

The article aims to make some reflections about the conception that the Messianic Church has on the theme nature; from the analysis of the doctrinal core of the texts of Mokiti Okada, also known as Meishu-Sama, entitled Foundations of Paradise, there is a theoretical basis for the identification of religious perception about the cultivation method called Natural Agriculture together with the notion of salvation. Through the planting and consumption of food without the use of pesticides, referring to the idea of ​​physical and spiritual purification achieved through respect for the laws of nature, it is possible to establish an approach with God through the practice of Natural Agriculture; the religious concept for this relationship between human beings and nature provides the discussion of new perspectives on environmental awareness and the religious environment.
