The following are a few teachings of Eros.
-----
''Embrace love, live in love, and love will save you.''
-----

This passage is a foundation of the Erotist faith; it heralds the wonder of life that can be found by loving others. Erotists believe one should find traits worthy of love within whomever one is dealing with and tell them of it without shame. Affection from someone else is never detested. By cherishing and openly conveying love for others, one may hope to be affectionately repaid by them at some point. Finding and respecting someone's virtues, rather than harping on their vices, may cultivate(both in oneself and in the other) a heart that lives in splendor, allowing an individual to face adversity with the help of sturdy bonds forged by love. Conversely, Erotists believe it unlikely that any good will come of clinging to stubbornness or shame and hiding one's love from others. This idea is thought to have roots in Eros' own impatience toward suppressed love.

-----
''Good love for good deeds.''
-----

This world is about as far from fair as it could get: loving others by no means guarantees love in return, and the daily practice of good deeds does not guarantee recompense. Though this may be the truth of things, it does not reflect what is right. If everyone came to accept this state as proper and inevitable, the world would one day have no one to love others and do good.

Therefore, Eros teaches that those who observe good deeds should always repay them with love and even more good deeds - in order to spread charitable people throughout the world. Houris, Eros' angels, are the leading representatives of this way of life. The philosophy is thought to have roots in Eros' own wish-that all who persevere through romantic obstruction will find a happy ending.

-----
''To those who hold love, golden love; to those who wreck love, lead-black loss.''
-----

This passage stems from arrows of the cupids, those angels who serve the goddess of love. Their golden "arrows of love" amplify love, while their black "arrows of lead" eradicate it. The tenet above implies that believers who embrace and live in love will surely be blessed by Eros with fulfillment everlasting - while those who betray or ruin love will not be forgiven. These others will instead be punished severely, the love of others taken from them.

The teaching also suggests that one should not take others' love from granted, but appreciate it devotedly. This concept is thought to have stalwart roots in Eros' personal antipathy for acts of infidelity and the betrayal of love.
