OTHER
The mind of organic man is embryonic, and must be
developed beyond natural human levels of
comprehension in order to begin to understand man's
own higher Soul-Realty. My Soul lived as Jacob
who they call James, the Brother of Yeshua who they
call Jesus -- and in that life I authored the core
original Gospel written in Hebrew Characters.
Unless you have transformed the mind beyond organic
human levels of comprehension by TRAVAILIING in
TheWay, then it will be impossible for you to
comprehend the spiritual meaning of the scriptures,
or your own higher Soul-Reality.
Thus, how can I argue with my untransformed brothers
and sisters who have not learned directly from the
Source as I have -- regardless of the fact that
their ego-self believes they
know more than I do as the Original Author of
the Gospels?
Therefore, you cannot force someone to comprehend
what they are not yet ready to receive. Still, you
must never underestimate the power of Planting A
Seed.

TheGift is a three part mini-series presenting what
the New Testament authors portrayed as the
Incomprehensible Mysteries of the Soul and Creation
-- ultra-important teachings that were suppressed by
the Church. The Restored Gospel teachings can
be found at
http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com . While
to their own detriment modern Christians ignore the
warning of Paul that because organic
"natural" man is
of an "animal-soul"
level of consciousness, and that he is incapable of
comprehending the spiritual meaning of the Gospel
(see Organic Man
Ruled Over By His Lower Animal Nature @
http://SoulSelf.org#AnimalNature ).
Further ignoring the warning of Paul that what they
believe is a series of allegorical Gospel accounts
(see An Inconvenient Truth @
http://AnInconvenientTruth.org ) that can only
be perceived and understood by the few who possess
the "eyes to see"
-- and the transformed mind that permits the
seeker/disciple to understand what is
incomprehensible to organic
"natural" man.

What I have written is not assumptions. It is a fact
that if you had developed your inward higher
attributes of mind, that you would see and
understand with an enlightened and knowing
consciousness. As portrayed in the image below, it
is all in the assentation of mind in order to
embrace Full-Blown Mystical Experience that connects
you with your Source -- i.e., God. It is not a
matter of belief -- but rather, of development. It
is therefore a given Fact of Life. It's like
the undeveloped person's mind achieving Spiritual
Mental Puberty. The process of Spiritual
Maturity is a guaranteed Fact of Life. I
don't have to personally know you -- it is all in
your words and SELF-KNOWLEDGE that you express.
Everyone who makes the effort, is guaranteed to
ascend up the proverbial Jacob's Ladder of spiritual
advancement.

"Blessed
are those who do His commandments, that they may
have the right to the tree of life, and may enter
through the gates into the city. But outside are
dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and
murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and
practices a lie"
(Rev 22:14-15 NKJ). If the
text of the Revelation represented the end of the
world, as is commonly believed by the majority of
Christians today, then we must pose the question:
Why are those who remain outside the city portrayed
as
"dogs and sorcerers
and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters,
and whoever loves and practices a lie"?
Armageddon, then, indicates the disciples personal
tribulation described as the
"pangs of
birth", as he
endeavors to overcome his own lower carnal nature
through the crucifixion of what is symbolized by the
flesh, in order that he can possess the Knowledge of
the fruit of the Tree of Life, transcend the natural
barriers of this world, and
"enter
through the gates into the city".

That the Ebionite
disciples of Jesus were enlightened to the spiritual
meaning of the Torah, and did not observe it
outwardly in ritual and tradition in the manner of
the Jews, is the reason why Epiphanius wrote that
they
"do not accept Moses'
Pentateuch in its entirety; certain sayings they
reject... stating Christ has revealed this to me,
and will blaspheme most of the legislation"
(Panarion 30.18.7-9). For them to be
accused of "blaspheming
most of the legislation", means that
they did not at all observe the Torah in accordance
with the letter of the written word -- but rather,
they understood the allegorical symbolism that was
applicable to unlocking the inner door to the
Kingdom.

"This principle in man moves and governs the body,

"Every act performed
brings its appropriate reward or punishment in
another life. In proportion as the soul has
conducted itself in a body, it determines for itself
its transition into another body."

Nazirene Gospel Teachings On The Outer Darkness
http://GospelOfTheNazirenes.org#outer
Thus, Yeshua is asked:
"And again that one asked,
If anyone comes to us who eats flesh and drinks
strong drink, how shall we receive them? And Yeshua
said to him, Let such a person abide in the outer
court until they cleanse themselves from these
grosser evils; for till they perceive, and repent of
these, they are not fit to receive the higher
mysteries."
Why can't they be
permitted into the inner core of the Congregational
Body of Messiah/Christ? Because their minds are
incapable of contemplating the Mysteries of God by
virtue of the polluted body-vessel -- and therefore,
the necessary spiritual transformation cannot be
brought about. And this is further demonstrated in
the words of Jesus as preserved in the Gospel of the
Nazirenes: And Yeshua said
to them, "They, whose hands are stained with blood,
or whose mouths are defiled with flesh, or they who
partake of benefits which are gotten by wronging one
of God's creatures, cannot be righteous; nor can
they touch holy things, or teach the mysteries of
the kingdom."
"For
they, making a god of their belly, sacrificed to
their God the innocent creatures of the earth, in
place of the carnal nature within themselves. And
eating of their flesh and drinking of their blood to
their own destruction, corrupted their bodies and
shortened their days, even as the Gentiles who did
not know the truth, or who knowing it, have changed
it into a lie."

"If I keep on saying to
myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is
possible that I may end by really becoming incapable
of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the
belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the
capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the
beginning." (Mahatma Gandhi)
“Men occasionally stumble
over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up
and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.”
(Winston S. Churchill)
According to
19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer,
“All truth passes through
three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is
violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as
self-evident.”
Einstein said:
“Great spirits have always
encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”

Pelagius:
In opposition to the Augustine Manichaean doctrine,
of the monk named Pelagius (354–420 or 440) the
Encyclopedia Britannica (1998 electronic edition)
reads: “Pelagius, though
not a priest, became a highly regarded spiritual
director for both clergy and laymen. The rigorous
asceticism of his adherents acted as a reproach to
the spiritual sloth of many Roman Christians, whose
moral standards greatly distressed him. He blamed
Rome's moral laxity on the doctrine of divine grace
that he heard a bishop cite from the Confessions of
Saint Augustine, who in his prayer for continence
beseeched God to grant whatever grace the divine
will determined. Pelagius attacked this teaching on
the grounds that it imperiled the entire moral law
and soon gained a considerable following at Rome”.
Pelagius wrote that:
“Man is able, if he likes, to
live without sin and keep the commandments of God,
in as much as God gives him this ability”.
Which is exactly what the Original Gospel teachings
taught. Notice that Pelagius stated that
"...God gives [man] this
ability”.
The
Wikipedia states:
"Pelagius rejected the Augustinian concept of grace.
According to his opponents, Pelagius taught that
moral perfection was attainable in this life without
the assistance of divine grace through human free
will. Augustine contradicted this by saying that
perfection was impossible without grace because we
are born sinners with a sinful heart and will. The
Pelagians charged Augustine with departing from the
accepted teaching (e.g.: John 8:11) of the Apostles
and the Bible, demonstrating that the doctrine of
original sin amounted to Manichaeism, which taught
that the flesh was in itself sinful (and thus denied
that Jesus came in the flesh). This charge would
have carried added weight since contemporaries knew
that Augustine had himself been a Manichaean layman
before converting to Christianity. Augustine also
taught that a person's salvation comes solely
through a free gift, the efficacious grace of God,
but that this was a gift that one had no free choice
to accept or refuse."
“I call heaven and earth to
witness against you this day, that I have set before
you life
and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore
choose
life”
(Deut. 30:19)

wrote:
"Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis warned, 'The
greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious
encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but
without understanding.' The freedom of individuals
from compulsion or coercion never was, and is not
now, the normal state of human affairs.
The normal state for the ordinary person is tyranny,
arbitrary control and abuse mainly by their own
government."
"We can't expect the
American People to jump from Capitalism to
Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders
in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they
awaken one day to find that they have Communism."
--Nikita S. Khrushchev

least.”

"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
LBJ: "These Negroes,
they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's
a problem for us since they've got something now
they never had before, the political pull to back up
their uppityness. Now we've got to do something
about this, we've got to give them a little
something, just enough to quiet them down, not
enough to make a difference." This quote
appears on page 155 of Goodwin’s LBJ
biography. The utterance was made to Richard
Russell, a fellow Democratic Senator from Georgia.

Abortion
With respect to the Holocaust of the UnBorn, The
Didache (a.k.a. The Teaching of the Apostles), which
is one of the oldest Christian documents, at Section
2:2 states: "...thou
shalt not murder a child by abortion nor kill them
when born..." -- and at 5:2 it states:
"The Way of Death is
filled with people who are...murderers of children
and abortionists of God's creatures." In
the Epistle of Barnabas who was a co-worker and
companion of the Apostle Paul, it is written:
"You shall not kill
either the fetus by abortion or the new born"
In the words of the Church Father Clement of
Alexandria: "Our
whole life can go on in observation of the laws of
nature, if we gain dominion over our desires from
the beginning and if we do not kill, by various
means of a perverse art, the human offspring, born
according to the designs of divine providence; for
these women who, if order to hide their immorality,
use abortive drugs which expel the child completely
dead, abort at the same time their own human
feelings." The Church Father Tertullian
wrote: "...we are not
permitted, since murder has been prohibited to us
once and for all, even to destroy ...the fetus in
the womb. It makes no difference whether one
destroys a life that has already been born or one
that is in the process of birth." The
Apocalypse of Peter states:
"I saw a gorge in which the discharge and excrement
of the tortured ran down and became like a lake.
There sat women, and the discharge came up to their
throats; and opposite them sat many children, who
were born prematurely, weeping. And from them went
forth rays of fire and smote the women on the eyes.
These were those who produced children outside of
marriage and who procured abortions... Those who
slew the unborn children will be tortured forever,
for God wills it to so."

"If I had not come and
spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they
have no excuse for their sin" (John
15:22).
"If you stick with this, living out what I tell you,
you are my disciples for sure. Then you will
experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth
will free you" (John
8:31-32 TheMessage)
“My teaching is not My own, Jesus replied. It
comes from Him who sent Me. If anyone desires to do
His will, he will know whether My teaching is from
God or whether I speak on My own.…" (John
7:16).
“I
call heaven and earth to witness against you this
day, that I have set before you
life
and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore
choose
life”
(Deut. 30:19)
"But the ways in
which this garment may be spotted are these: If any
one withdraw from God the Father and Creator of all,
receiving another teacher besides Christ, who alone
is the faithful and True Prophet,
In the words of John
Wesley:
"that fatal period when
the Emperor Constantine called himself a Christian;
From this time onward - the Christians had no more
of the Spirit of Christ than the heathens...."
(Wesley's Works, vol 7, Sermon 89,
pp. 26-27)
"...And
therefore I advise not only wise men, but indeed all
men who have a desire of knowing what is
advantageous to them, that they seek after the True
Prophet; for it is He alone who knoweth all things,
and who knoweth what and how every man is seeking.
For He is within the mind of
every one of us, but in those who have no desire of
the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He is
inoperative; but He works in those who seek after
that which is profitable to their souls, and kindles
in them the light of knowledge.
Wherefore seek Him first of
all; and if you do not find Him, expect not that you
shall learn anything from any other.
But He is soon found by those
who diligently seek Him through love of the truth,
and whose souls are not taken possession of by
wickedness. For He is present with those who desire
Him in the innocence of their spirits, who bear
patiently, and draw sighs from the bottom of their
hearts through love of the truth; but He deserts
malevolent minds, because as a prophet He knows the
thoughts of every one. And therefore let no one
think that he can find Him by his own wisdom,
unless, as we have said, he empty his mind of all
wickedness, and conceive a pure and faithful desire
to know Him. For when any one has so prepared
himself, He Himself as a prophet, seeing a mind
prepared for Him, of His own accord offers Himself
to his knowledge”

Law Of God Is Read
"The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they
are life" (John 6:63).
In the Homilies of Clement the Apostle Peter is
quoted as warning: "...therefore
great care is to be taken, that when the law of God
is read, it be not read according to the
understanding of our own mind. For there are many
sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn
to that sense which every one has preconceived for
himself; and this ought not to be done. For you
ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense,
which you have brought from without".
If we ask the question: What is being said to the
believer who desires to be faithful to the Gospel
Teachings? In the same way that the believer is
commanded to seek out the One Teacher, and the
commandment that "when
the law of God (scriptures) is read, it be not read
according to the understanding of our own mind" --
it is being stated that there is only One Source of
Truth -- and that the wisdom and teachings of man
will misguide the seeker. By design, human
linear-carnal reasoning is incapable of
understanding the true spiritual meaning of the
scriptures -- i.e., "...therefore
great care is to be taken, that when the law of God
is read, it be not read according to the
understanding of our own mind."
And neither should you listen to other men's gravely
flawed interpretations of the scriptures -- i.e., "...For
you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous
sense, which you have brought from without".
Jesus taught that there is only one Source of Truth,
and the disciple/seeker must learn directly from
that One Teacher -- i.e, "Then opened He their
understanding, that they might understand the
scriptures" (Luke 24:45). This can only be
accomplished by becoming the "good
ground" in the parable of the Sower And
The Seed (see http://SowerAndTheSeed.Ebionite.com ).
And thus, these words which are representative of
the New Covenant and the core Gospel teachings, are
inconceivable to the modern faith-based believer who
is divided and disenfranchised from the very essence
and objectives of the Gospel teachings --
overwhelmed and anchored to a carnal mindset that is
of the "outer
darkness" -- spiritually disenfranchised
by innumerable manmade opinions, factions and sects
which totally alienate the believer from the Truth
and the Kingdom.

(5) Jesus said, "Recognize

"While
we look not at the things which are seen, but at the
things which are not seen: for the things which are

“Even
after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in

with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts’”

Israel Israel
-- see's God Face To Face
"Then the man said,
“Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,
because you have struggled with God and with men,
and you have prevailed.” 29Then Jacob asked him,
“Please tell me Your name.” “Why do you ask My
name?” he replied. And He blessed Jacob there. So
Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I
have seen God face to face, and yet my life was
spared.”…

HIDDEN MANNA "He who has an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the
hidden manna" (Rev 2:17)
"And with many such
parables He spoke the word to them
as they were able to hear it.
But without a parable He did not speak to them. And
when they were alone, He explained all things to His
disciples" (Mark 4:33-34 NKJV).
“The secret of the kingdom of
God has been given to you. But to those on the
outside everything is said in parables so that, they
may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever
hearing but never understanding” (Mark
4:11-12 NIV)
“And he said unto them,
Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know
all parables?” (Mark 4:13 KJV)
“Unto you it is given to
know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto
them that are without, all these things are done in
parables: That seeing they may see, and not
perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not
understand” (Mark 4:11-12 KJV).
Origen:
Who was Origen?
Origen is called “…the most
prominent of all the church fathers”
(Encyclopedia. Britannica), and was considered by
Jerome to be “the greatest
teacher of the Church after the Apostles.”
St. Gregory of Nyssa called him
“the prince of Christian learning in the Third
Century.”
In his
Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament,
by Dr. F. H. Scrivener, one of the ablest of
modern-day biblical scholars and critics writes of
Origen: “Origen is the most
celebrated biblical critic of antiquity. His is the
highest name among the critics and expositors of the
early Church. He is perpetually engaged in the
discussion of various readings of the New Testament,
and employs language, in describing the then
existing state of the text, which would be deemed
strong if applied even to its present condition,
after the changes which sixteen more centuries must
needs have produced… Seldom have such warmth of
fancy and so bold a grasp of mind been united with
the lifelong, patient industry which procured for
this famous man the honorable appellation of
Adamantius.”
The biblical
scholar Wescott says of the Church Father Origen
that: “We have not yet made
good the positions which he marked out as belonging
to the domain of Christian philosophy”
(Religious Thought In the West, p. 252).
“Scripture contains an
unhistorical element in-woven with the history, in
order that the worthlessness of the latter may drive
us to seek the spiritual meaning” (Origen
quoted under Origen Adamntius; The Encyclopedia of
Religion and Ethics).
Further explaining in De Principiis that:
“Where the word found that
things done according to the history could be
adapted to these mystical senses, he made use of
them concealing from the multitude the deeper
meaning; but where in the narrative of the
development of super-sensual things, there did not
follow the performance of those certain events which
were already indicated by the mystical meaning, the
scripture interwove in the history the account of
some event that did not take place, sometimes what
could not have happened; sometimes what could but
did not.”
Zohar:
"Thus the tales related in the
Torah are simply her outer garments, and woe to the
man who regards that outer garb as the Torah itself,
for such a man will be deprived of portion in the
next world..."
Zohar:
“The
narratives of the doctrine are its cloak. The
simple look only on the garment, that is upon the
narrative of the doctrine; more they know not. The
instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but
what the cloak covers”.
“It
is sufficient however, to represent in the style of
a historic narrative what is intended to convey a
secret meaning in the garb of history, that those
who have the capacity may work out for themselves
all that relates to the subject.” (Origen
Contra Celsum)
Quoting the Church
historian Eusebius who writes of the doctrines
conceived by the early Christians Papias and
Irenaeus: “Papias
reproduces other stories communicated to him by word
of mouth, together with some otherwise unknown
parables and teachings of the Saviour, and other
things of a more allegorical character. He says that
'after the resurrection of the dead there will be a
period of a thousand years when Christ's kingdom
will be set up on this earth in material form'. I
suppose he got these notions by misinterpreting the
apostolic accounts and failing to grasp what they
said in mystic and symbolic language. For he seems
to have been a man of very small intelligence, to
judge from his books..." (Eusebius, Hist
Eccl., Book III, 39.11).
Moses Maimonedes, one
of the most respected of Jewish theologians,
historian, and Talmudist, where he writes about the
nature of scripture: “Every
time that you find in our books a tale the reality
of which seems impossible, a story which is
repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be
sure that the tale contains a profound allegory
veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater
the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom
of the spirit”.
In his book entitled
Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, G.R.S. Mead
explains that what the authors truly
“…projected onto the
screen… [in the form of a ] picture of the universe
was in reality a picture of their own minds."
He then writes of the scriptures:
"Its mythology is a
symbolic portrayal, almost a deliberate one, of the
forces which operate in the structuring and
evolution of the human personality”
Contra Celsum:
Respecting the Divine Order of Creation, Origen then
continues referring to Paul’s Epistle to the Romans
and goes on to explain:
“For God must be believed to do and order all things
and at all times according to His judgment. For the
words which the apostle uses when he says, ‘In a
great house there are not only vessels of gold and
silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to
honor and some to dishonor;' and those which he
adds, saying, 'If a man purge himself, he will be a
vessel unto honor, sanctified and meet for the
Master's use, unto every good work,' undoubtedly
point out this, that he who shall purge himself when
he is in this life, will be prepared for every good
work in that which is to come; while he who does not
purge himself will be, according to the amount of
his impurity, a vessel unto dishonor, i.e.,
unworthy. It is therefore possible to understand
that there have been also formerly rational vessels,
whether purged or not, i.e., which either purged
themselves or did not do so,
and that consequently every vessel, according to the
measure of its purity or impurity, received a place,
or region, or condition by birth, or an office to
discharge, in this world.
All of which, down to
the humblest, God providing for and distinguishing
by the power of His wisdom, arranges all things by
His controlling judgment, according to a most
impartial retribution, so far as each one ought to
be assisted or cared for in conformity with his
deserts. In which certainly every principle of
equity is shown, while the inequality of
circumstances preserves the justice of a retribution
according to merit. But the grounds of the merits in
each individual case are only recognized truly and
clearly by God Himself, along with His only-begotten
Word, and His Wisdom, and the Holy Spirit”.
Contra Celsum: Spiritual DNA:
"Is it not rational that souls
should be introduced into bodies, in accordance with
their merits and previous deeds, and that those who
have used their bodies in doing the utmost possible
good should have the right to bodies endowed with
qualities superior to the bodies of others?... The
soul, which is immaterial and invisible in its
nature, exists in no material place without having a
body suited to the nature of that place;
accordingly, it at one time puts off one body, which
was necessary before, but which is no longer
adequate in its changed state, and it exchanges it
for a second". And in his famed work De
Principiis the Church Father Origen explains:
"The soul has neither
beginning nor end... Every soul... comes into this
world strengthened by the victories or weakened by
the defeats of its previous life. Its place in this
world as a vessel appointed to honor or dishonor is
determined by its previous merits or demerits. Its
work in this world determines its place in the world
which is to follow this..."
Spiritual DNA:
"Is it not
rational that souls should be introduced into
bodies, in accordance with their merits and previous
deeds, and that those who have used their bodies in
doing the utmost possible good should have the right
to bodies endowed with qualities superior to the
bodies of others?
“Now, in answer to such statements, we say that
it is not the same thing to invite those who are
sick in soul to be cured, and those who are in
health to the knowledge and study of divine things.
We, however, keeping both these things in view, at
first invite all men to be healed, and exhort those
who are sinners to come to the consideration of the
doctrines which teach men not to sin, and those who
are devoid of understanding to those which beget
wisdom, and those who are children to rise in their
thoughts to manhood, and those who are simply
unfortunate to good fortune, or -- which is the more
appropriate term to use -- to blessedness. And when
those who have been turned towards virtue have made
progress, and have shown that they have been
purified by the word, and have led as far as they
can a better life, then and not before do we invite
them to participation in our mysteries. ‘For we
speak wisdom among them that are perfect’”.
When Celsus attacked the Church for being a
“secret system”,
teaching some a different doctrine than others,
Origen replied:
“Moreover, since he frequently calls the Christian
doctrine a secret system, we must confute him on
this point also, since almost the entire world is
better acquainted with what Christians preach than
with the favorite opinions of philosophers.
For who is ignorant of the statement that
Jesus was born of a virgin, and that He was
crucified, and that His Resurrection is an article
of faith among many, and that a general judgment is
announced to come, in which the wicked are to be
punished according to their desserts, and the
righteous to be duly rewarded?”
“And yet the mystery of
the Resurrection, not being understood, is made a
subject of ridicule among the unbelievers.
In these circumstances, to speak of the
Christian doctrine as a secret system is altogether
absurd.
But that there should
be certain doctrines, not made known to the
multitude, which are after the exoteric ones having
been taught, is not a peculiarity of Christianity
alone, but also of
philosophic systems, in which certain truths are
exoteric and others are esoteric.
Some of the heroes of Pythagoras were content
with his ipse dixit; while others were taught in
secret those doctrines which were not deemed fit to
be communicated to the profane and insufficiently
prepared ears.
Moreover, all the mysteries that are
celebrated everywhere throughout Greece and the
barbarous countries, although held in secret, have
no discredit thrown upon them, so that it is in vain
he endeavors to calumniate the secret doctrines of
Christianity, seeing that he does not correctly
understand its nature”.
Origen's reply to Celsus where he wrote:
“By participation in the
Son of God one is adopted as a son…
by participation
in the Holy Spirit is a man rendered holy and
spiritual…” and,
“every rational creature
needs a participation in the Trinity”.
In the words of the Church Father Origen:
“And if you come to the
books written after the time of Jesus, you will find
that those multitudes of believers who hear the
parables are, as it were, 'without', and worthy only
of exoteric doctrines, while the disciples learn in
private the explanation of the parables.
For, privately, to His own disciples did
Jesus open up all things, esteeming above the
multitudes those who desired to know His wisdom”
(Origen Contra Celsum).
Take
The Kingdom By Force
All religions posses truths. The difference
between the Gospels and other religions is seen in
the statement of author and visionary Philip K. Dick
who wrote with respect to the original disciples of
Jesus that: "Christ ...taught his followers how to
enter the kingdom while still alive, where other
mystery religions only bring about amnesis:
knowledge of it at the 'other time' in 'the other
realm,' not here. He causes it to come here, and is
the living agency to the Sole Good God (i.e. the
Logos)." All the Eastern religions and the Mystery
religions such as the example of Mithraism, are all
striving to see into man's higher reality -- mostly
through meditation and the like. In
contradistinction, the Gospel teachings of Jesus
brought about the necessary Wholeness of Mind and
Being that enabled the disciple to gain entrance
into the Kingdom -- i.e., "...causes it to come
here, and is the living agency to the Sole Good God
(i.e. the Logos)." These other paths were portrayed
in the words: "From the days of John the Baptist
until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to
violence, and the violent lay claim to it" (Matt
11:12). The Children of the Kingdom gain entrance
into the Kingdom through Wholeness -- i.e., "They
that are whole have no need of the physician, but
they that are sick: I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17) --
and that is why the Gospels have virtually nothing
in common with the Mithraism of modern Christianity
-- as detailed in the Restoration of the suppressed
and corrupted Gospel teachings at http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ).
Like myself, Philip K. Dick was able to recall his
past life as a first century follower of Jesus and
TheWay.
OPENING THE MIND
"Then opened He their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures"
(Luke 24:45)
Epistle of Peter to James: that
"...it will remain even for
those who really seek the truth, always to wander in
error"
"There is a way that seems right to man, but its
end is the way of death" (Prov 14:12).
"If anyone would come after me, he must deny
himself and take up his cross daily and follow me"
(Luke 9:23).
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added
unto you" (Matt. 6:33)
"He who overcomes, I will
make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he
shall go out no more" (Rev 3:12).
"But you are not to be
called rabbi, for you have One Teacher, and you are
all brethren" (Matt 23:8 RSV)
"...therefore great care is to be taken, that when
the law of God is read, it be not read according to
the understanding of our own mind. For there are
many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be
drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived
for himself; and this ought not to be done. For you
ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense,
which you have brought from without"
(5) Jesus said, "Recognize
what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from
you will become plain to you."
"While
we look not at the things which are seen, but at the
things which are not seen: for the things which are
seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen
are eternal" (2 Cor 4:18 KJV).
"Whom will he teach
knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the
message? Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the
breasts? For precept
must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line
upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a
little" (Isa 28:9-10 NKJ).
"Therefore let us leave the
elementary teachings about Christ and go on to
maturity..." (Heb 6:1 NIV)
“Therefore let us leave the
elementary teachings about Christ and go on to
maturity, not laying again the foundation of
repentance from acts that lead to death, and of
faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying
on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and
eternal judgment” (Heb 6:1-2 NIV).
“Faith is the foundation;
knowledge the superstructure, by knowledge faith is
perfected, for to know is more than to believe.
Faith is a summary knowledge of urgent truths;
knowledge a sure demonstration of what has been
received through faith, being itself reared upon
faith through the teachings of the Lord.
Thus the Gnostic grasps the
complete truth of all revelation from the beginning
of the world to the end, piercing to the depths of
scripture, of which the believer tastes the surface
only. As a consequence
of this intelligent sympathy with the Divine Will,
the Gnostic becomes in perfect unity in himself, and
as far as possible like God. Definite outward
observances cease to have any value for one whose
being is brought into abiding harmony with that
which is eternal; he has no wants, no passions; he
rests in the contemplation of God, which is and will
be his unfailing blessedness ” (quoting
Clement of Alexandria in Smith & Wace's Bible
Dictionary).
JESUS COMES TO THE PERFECT
“…which appearing is manifested to each one of those
who are perfect, and which enlightens the reason in
the true knowledge of things” (Origen
Against Celsus, bk. Ill, ch. Ixi.).
"...it will remain even for
those who really seek the truth, always to wander in
error"
“Another disciple said to
him, Lord, first let me go and bury my father. But
Jesus told him, Follow me, and let the dead bury
their own dead” (Matt 8:21-22 NIV).
KNOW THYSELF "...But if you will not
know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you
who are that poverty".
FULL VERSION:
"When you come to know
yourselves, then you will become known, and you will
realize that it is you who are the sons of the
living Father. But if you will not know yourselves,
you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that
poverty... Whoever finds himself is superior to the
world".
REINCARNATION
“Every soul... comes into
this world strengthened by the victories or weakened
by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen,
De Principiis).
"Do not be deceived, God is
not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will
also reap" (Gal 6:7)
"The
disciples of Jesus were persuaded that a man might
have sinned before he was born, (John, ix. 2,) and
the Pharisees held the transmigration
[reincarnation] of virtuous souls, (Joseph. de Bell.
Judaico, l. ii. c. 7;) and a modern Rabbi is
modestly assured, that Hermes, Pythagoras, Plato,
etc., derived their metaphysics from his illustrious
countrymen"
(Gibbon; Decline & Fall)
On the
question of who did sin, this man, or his parents,
and the pre-existence and reincarnation of the soul,
the Adam Clarke Commentary tells us:
"The
doctrine of the transmigration of souls appears to
have been an article in the creed of the Pharisees,
and it was pretty general both among the Greeks and
the Asiatics. The Pythagoreans believed the souls of
men were sent into other bodies for the punishment
of some sin which they had committed in a
pre-existent state. This seems to have been the
foundation of the disciples’ question to our Lord.
Did this man sin in a pre-existent state, that he is
punished in this body with blindness? Or, did his
parents commit some sin, for which they are thus
plagued in their offspring!... The Jewish rabbis
have had the same belief from the very remotest
antiquity. Origen cites an apocryphal book of the
Hebrews, in which the patriarch Jacob is made to
speak thus: I am an angel of God; one of the first
order of spirits. Men call me Jacob, but my true
name, which God has given me, is Israel: Orat.
Joseph. apud ORIG. Many of the Jewish doctors have
believed that the souls of Adam, Abraham, and
Phineas, have successively animated the great men of
their nation. Philo says that the air is full of
spirits, and that some, through their natural
propensity, join themselves to bodies; and that
others have an aversion from such a union. See
several other things relative to this point in his
treatises, De Plant. Noe-- De Gigantibus-- De
Confus. Ling.-- De Somniis, etc.; and see Calmet,
where he is pretty largely quoted".
Josephus who was a
contemporary of the man Jesus who lived among the
Essenes stated that the Essenes
“…resigned up their souls
with great alacrity, as expecting to receive them
again. For their doctrine is this, that bodies are
corruptible, and that the matter they are made of is
not permanent; but that the souls are immortal, and
continue for ever; and that they came out of the
most subtle air, and are united to their bodies as
to prisons, into which they are drawn by a certain
natural enticement; but that when they are set free
from the bonds of flesh, they then, as released from
a long bondage, rejoice and mount upward...”.
St. Jerome wrote: “The
doctrine of transmigration (reincarnation) has been
secretly taught from ancient times to small numbers
of people, as a traditional truth which was not to
be divulged”
“That servant who knows his
master's will and does not get ready or does not do
what his master wants will be beaten with many
blows. But the one who does not know and does things
deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.
From everyone who has been given much, much will be
demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted
with much, much more will be asked” (Luke
12:47-48 NIV).

The Delphic
Oracle states: "Heed these
words, you who wish to probe the depths of Nature:
If you do not find within your Self that which you
seek, neither will you find it outside. If you

expect to find other wonders? In you is hidden the
Treasure of Treasures. Know Thyself and you will
know the Universe and the Gods."
"For it is impossible to
restore again to repentance those who ...then commit
apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their
own account and hold him up to contempt.. For if we

sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury
of fire which will consume the adversaries."

clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You
will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes
from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so,
every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree
bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit,
nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that
does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into
the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know
them. Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,'
shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does
the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me
in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in
Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done
many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare
to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who
practice lawlessness!'" (Matt 7:15-23 NKJ).
"Then one said
to Him, Lord, are there few who are saved? And He
said to them, Strive to enter through the narrow
gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and
will not be able. When once the Master of the house
has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to
stand outside and knock at the door, saying, 'Lord,
Lord, open for us,' and He will answer and say to
you, 'I do not know you, where you are from,' then
you will
begin to say,
'We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught
in our streets.' But He will say, 'I tell you I do
not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me,
all you workers of iniquity.' There will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and
Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom
of God, and yourselves thrust out. They will come
from the east and the west, from the north and the
south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. And
indeed there are last who will be first, and there
are first who will be last"

13:23-30 NKJ).
OUTER DARKNESS
"But when
the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man
there who did not have on a wedding garment. So he
said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here
without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.
Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand
and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer
darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.'" (Matt 22:11-13 NKJ).
"For everyone who has will be given more, and he
will have an abundance. But the one who does not
have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
And throw that worthless servant into the outer
darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing
of teeth" (Matt 25:29-30)
"The light of the body is
the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole
body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil,
thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If
therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how
great is that darkness!"
(Luke 11:34)
Gospel Of The Nazirenes
26:16
"And if you desire something as strongly as you
desire life, and it turns you from the truth, cast
it out from you, for it is better to enter life
possessing truth, than losing it, to be cast into
outer darkness."

"Take
therefore the talent from him, and give it to him
who has two talents. For to every one that has
improved will be given, and he will have abundance,

unprofitable servant into outer darkness, for that
is the
portion he has chosen."

immoral people... But now I have written to you not
to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is
sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a
reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner -- not
even to eat with such a person..." (1
Cor 5:9-13 NKJ).
"Behold, thou art made

BIBLE
CORRUPTION:
In the words of Prof. Bart
D. Ehrman in his book, The Orthodox Corruption of
Scripture, where he warns us that:
"...theological
disputes, specifically disputes over Christology,
prompted Christian scribes to alter the words of
scripture in order to make them more serviceable for
the polemical task. Scribes modified their
manuscripts to make them more patently ‘orthodox’
and less susceptible to ‘abuse’ by the opponents of
orthodoxy"
-- which
orthodoxy was to bring the text of the Bible into
conformity with the doctrines and tenets of the
Church of the Roman Emperor Constantine.
In his
book The Text of the New Testament, Dr.
Vincent Taylor writes that
"The manuscripts of the New
Testament preserve traces of two kinds of dogmatic
alterations: those which involve the elimination or
alteration of what was regarded as doctrinally
unacceptable or inconvenient, and those which
introduce into the Scriptures proof for a favorite
theological tenet or practice".
An
important truth is contained in the Epistle of Peter
to James where it is stated:
"Hear me, brethren and fellow-servants. If we should
give the books to all indiscriminately, and they
should be corrupted by any daring men, or be
perverted by interpretations, as you have heard that
some have already done,
it will
remain even for those who
really seek the truth, always to wander in error.
Wherefore it is better that they should be with us,
and that we should communicate them with all
the fore-mentioned care to those who wish to
live
piously, and to save others."
Those outside of the original Ebionite/Nazirene core
of disciples and followers of Yeshua/Jesus, were
quick to corrupt all the copies of the scriptures
that were given to them. And this fact
is confirmed to us by Dr. F. H. Scrivener
where he writes that:
"In the second century we
have seen too many instances of attempts to tamper
with the text of Scripture, some merely injudicious,
others positively dishonest".
Scrivener states that
"it is no less true to fact than paradoxical in
sound, that the worst corruptions to which the New
Testament has ever been subjected, originated within
100 years after it was composed: and that Irenaeus
and the African Fathers, and the whole Western, with
a portion of the Syrian Church"
used inferior manuscripts
(F.H.Scrivener, Introduction to the Criticism of
the New Testament). Dean
Burgon quotes Gaius (AD175-200) who speaks of the
source of corruptions that survive in the early
papyri: "The
Divine Scriptures these heretics have audaciously
corrupted. Laying violent hands upon them, under
pretense of correcting them."
(Burgon, The Revision Revised, p. 323).
Eusebius (Eccleastical History), citing the second
century Church Father Clement of Alexandria:
"The worst
corruptions to which the New Testament has ever been
subjected originated within one hundred years after
it was composed."
In the words
of Colwell (What is the Best New Testament Text?,
p.119)
"The first two centuries witnessed the creations of
the large number of variations known to scholars
today. In the manuscripts of the New Testament
most variations, I believe, were made deliberately."
G.D. Kilpatrick (Atticism and the
Text of the Greek New Testament, pp 125-131):
"Deliberate changes
in all text types appear to antedate A.D. 200..as
distinct from errors... all categories of deliberate
alteration... are present in both groups.
Tatian is the last author of make deliberate
changes. The vast majority of deliberate changes
were older then A.D. 200. They came into being
in the period A.D. 50-200."
In his book, Introduction
to the New Testament, B.W. Bacon wrote:
"The Christian can only
mitigate the disrespect he feels for plagiarists and
impostors by the reflection that the conscience of
the second century had practically no recognition
for those literary crimes, rampant as they then were
in the Church"
(p. 168). Yet it
is the product of these
"literary crimes" that believers put
their faith in when they read their Bibles today!
Something which no sincere
believer today should take lightly is the charge
against Christians by Celsus, the second century
Epicurean philosopher, who alleged that:
"Certain Christians,
like men who are overcome by the fumes of wine and
care not in the least what they say, alter the
original text of the Gospels so that they admit of
various and almost indefinite readings. And this, I
suppose, they have done out of worldly policy, so
that when we press an argument home, they might have
the more scope for their pitiful evasions".
Celsus concludes that because of the wholesale
rewriting and corruption of the text of the
scriptures, that this fraud has made all of
Christianity a bogus lie:
"It is clear to me that the
writings of the Christians are a lie, and that your
fables are not well-enough constructed to conceal
this monstrous fiction: I have even heard that some
of your interpreters, as if they had just come out
of a tavern, are onto the inconsistencies and, pen
in hand, alter the originals writings, three, four
and several more times over in order to be able to
deny the contradictions in the face of criticism."
(R.J.Hoffmann's
Celsus: On The True Doctrine, Oxford
University Press, 1987).
To
which allegation the third century Church Father
Origen replied:
"Besides, it is not at all fair to bring this
charge against the Christian religion as a crime
unworthy of its pretended purity; only those persons
who were concerned in the fraud should, in equity,
be held answerable for it"
(Origen, Contra Celsus).
What we fail to realize
today is that during this period, every single
document was edited and revised to confirm the
doctrine of the Roman Church. The noted Church
Historian Eusebius quotes the Church Father
Dionysius (Hist. Eccl., Bk. 4. 23), who reports that
his own epistles had been tampered with:
"When my fellow
Christians invited me to write letters to them I did
so. These the devil's apostles have filled with
tares, taking away some things and adding others.
For them the woe is reserved. Small wonder then if
some have dared to tamper even with the word of the
Lord Himself, when they have conspired to mutilate
my own humble efforts".
Eusebius writes of a number
of sects of Christians of his day:
"Therefore they have
laid their hands boldly upon the Divine Scriptures,
alleging that they have corrected them. That I am
not speaking falsely of them in this matter, whoever
wishes may learn. For if any one will collect their
respective copies, and compare them one with
another, he will find that they differ greatly.
Those of Asclepiades, for example, do not agree with
those of Theodotus. And many of these can be
obtained, because their disciples have assiduously
written the corrections, as they call them, that is
the corruptions, of each of them. Again, those of
Hermophilus do not agree with these, and those of
Apollonides are not consistent with themselves. For
you can compare those prepared by them at an earlier
date with those which they corrupted later, and you
will find them widely different. But how daring this
offense is, it is not likely that they themselves
are ignorant. For either they do not believe that
the Divine Scriptures were spoken by the Holy
Spirit, and thus are unbelievers, or else they think
themselves wiser than the Holy Spirit, and in that
case what else are they than demoniacs? For they
cannot deny the commission of the crime, since the
copies have been written by their own hands. For
they did not receive such Scriptures from their
instructors, nor can they produce any copies from
which they were transcribed".
Under the
title of Bible in the Church, the
Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics writes:
"In the
first two centuries nearly all the various readings
of the New Testament came into existence, the
majority of them by deliberate alteration of the
text, many for the sake of style, and several in the
interests of dogma… Often readings were rejected as
falsifications of heretics, but often the heretics
were right in their counter-complaint… Every
province, every order, every monastery, has a
tradition of its own…"
If
every province, every order, and
every monastery in the first two centuries had
their own version of the scriptures which supported
their favorite doctrines of belief, then we must
seriously ask the question as to what has been
passed down to us today? Show me the modern
Christian who promotes the idea that their beliefs
are from God because they are supported by the
scriptures, and I will show you believers who have
failed to follow the advice of the Apostle and
"Test all things".
Quoting Prof. Millar Burrows in More Light on the
Dead Sea Scrolls, Prof. Burrows writes:
“There are those who
believe or assume that the Greek and Hebrew texts
from which our translations are made are infallible.
No person who has studied textual criticism at all
could believe that. The most conservative scholars
in the most conservative churches recognize that the
text has become corrupt at many points in the course
of its transmission. If that were not already well
known and universally admitted, the Dead Sea Scrolls
would demonstrate it conclusively.”
In the Preface to the
Revised Standard Version of the bible this notable
statement is made regarding the need for a revision
of the English translation:
"Yet the King James
Version has grave defects... was based upon a Greek
text that was marred by mistakes, containing the
accumulated errors of fourteen centuries of
manuscript copying. It was essentially the Greek
text of the New Testament as edited by Beza, 1589,
who closely followed that published by Erasmus,
1516-1535, which was based upon a few medieval
manuscripts. The earliest and best of the eight
manuscripts which Erasmus consulted was from the
tenth century, and he made the least use of it
because it differed most from the commonly received
text; Beza had access to two manuscripts of great
value dating from the fifth and sixth centuries, but
he made very little use of them because they
differed from the text published by Erasmus".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dead Sea Scroll
Quotations
How much does the
modern Church have in common with the original
teachings? Perhaps this can be gauged by
a recent interview with Pastor Brian McLaren who
made the rather profound statement:
"One of the problems is
that the average Christian in the average church who
listens to the average Christian broadcasting has
such an oversimplified understanding of both the
Bible and of church history - it would be deeply
disturbing for them to really learn about church
history." And
truth be told, it can easily be demonstrated that
the core purpose and objectives of the original
Gospel teachings are so radically different than
what is preached from our pulpits today, that the
Gospel of the first century would be condemned as
heresy if it was presented to a modern congregation
of believers. And while the
congregation of believers have been largely kept in
the dark, the biblical scholars understood this fact
– and this is demonstrated in the words of A. Powell
Davies who stated:
“Biblical scholars were not disturbed by what they
found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known
all along that the origin of Christianity was not
what was commonly supposed to have been”
(quoted by Millar Burrows in More Light on the
Dead Sea Scrolls). What does it mean that the
scholars acknowledge that the origin of Christianity
is not what believers have been told by the Church?
Worse yet,
Edmund Wilson, an expert who worked on the Dead Sea
Scrolls further raised the question as to what
difference it makes if
“Jesus... had been trained
in the discipline and imbued with the thought of a
certain Jewish sect, and that he had learned from it
the role that he afterwards lived...”
(The Scrolls From The Dead Sea). To the
uninformed and unknowing believer, it made all the
difference in the world!
And when
Prof. John Allegro was quoted as
saying that what has been revealed in the discovery
of the Dead Sea Scrolls is a great amount of
overwhelming evidence that
“...may upset a
great many basic teachings of the Christian Church.
This in turn would greatly upset many
Christian Theologians and believers.
The heart of the matter is, in fact, the
source and originality of Christian doctrine”
(August 1966 issue of Harpers Magazine).
What all the many recent
archaeological discoveries have confirmed and
demonstrated is that Prof. Allegro was correct in
his assertion that our modern-day understanding of
“the source and originality
of Christian doctrine” is defective.
Why? Because neither the original
teachings or the corrupted scriptures simply does
not support the tenets and structure of an organized
dogmatic church as we have today. In the
words of Prof. Elaine Pagles, in her book, The
Gnostic Gospels: “It
is the winners who write history - their way.
No wonder, then, that the viewpoint of the
successful majority has dominated all traditional
accounts of the origin of Christianity… It suggests
that these religious debates - questions of the
nature of God, or of Christ - simultaneously bear
social and political implications that are crucial
to the development of Christianity as an
institutional religion. In simplest terms,
ideas which bear implications contrary to that
development come to be labeled as heresy; ideas
which implicitly support it become orthodox”.
Biblical
scholars basically told the people the truth about
their beliefs, but the truth was and remains
unacceptable to the multitude of Churches.
Quoting from
Examination of Modern NT Text Criticism:
"Where history records that
true sacred text survived this assault and is
preserved in the traditional text, Westcott and Hort
counter that the whole church participated in a
conspiracy to fabricate a blended (and therefore
corrupted) text. Westcott and Hort must not have
believed the traditional Christian church to be
genuine, but a sham. This thesis is supported by the
biographies of Westcott and Hort. When J. F. D.
Maurice was accused of false doctrine, Westcott
commented that Orthodox Christians are like a new
Islam persecuting a revival of the true Christians."
In the same way that Islam claims that all the
prophets in the Old Testament, as well as Jesus were
all Muslim, the Church of Constantine claimed that
the Ebionite disciples of Jesus were in accord with
the doctrines of pagan Rome -- which are all drawn
from Mithraism.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Church
Corruption
In his letter to Pope
Leo X on September 6th, 1520, where Martin Luther
wrote of the Christianity of his day, that the
church, “…once the holiest
of all, has become the most licentious den of
thieves, the most shameless of all brothels, the
kingdom of sin, death, and hell. It is so bad that
even Antichrist himself, if he should come, could
think of nothing to add to its wickedness”
(Quoted in: The Great Thoughts; compiled by George
Seldes).
The Predicted Fall Of The Church:
“let no man beguile you in any
wise: for (it will not be,) except the falling away
come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son
of perdition, he that opposeth and exalteth himself
against all that is called God or that is
worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God,
setting himself forth as God” (2
Thes 2:3-4 ASV).
With
regard to this falling away, the Adam Clark
Commentary writes of this passage of Paul's Epistle:
“[Except there come
a falling away first] We have the original word
apostasia in our word apostasy; and by this term we
understand a dereliction of the essential principles
of religious truth, either a total abandonment of
Christianity itself, or such a corruption of its
doctrines as renders the whole system completely
inefficient to salvation. But what this apostasy
means is a question which has not yet, and perhaps
never will be, answered to general satisfaction”
(from the Adam Clarke Commentary).
In
further explanation with regard to this crucial
prediction of the Apostle, the Adam Clark Commentary
then goes on to provide us a vivid description of
Constantine and the formation of his new church:
“[Who opposeth and
exalteth] He stands against and exalts himself above
all divine authority, and above every object of
adoration, and every institution, relative to divine
worship, sebasma, himself being the source, whence
must originate all the doctrines of religion, and
all its rites and ceremonies; so that sitting in the
temple of God -- having the highest place and
authority in the Christian church, he acts as God --
taking upon himself God's titles and attributes, and
arrogating to himself the authority that belongs to
the Most High” (from the Adam
Clarke Commentary).
Apostasy: "that fatal
period when the Emperor Constantine called himself a
Christian; From this time onward - the Christians
had no more of the Spirit of Christ than the
heathens...." -John Wesley (Wesley's
Works, vol 7, Sermon 89, pp. 26-27)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coming
of the Kingdom
"Truly I tell you, some who
are standing here will not taste death before they
see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
(Matt 16:28).
Then Jesus said to
them, "Truly I tell you, there are some standing
here who will not taste death until they see the
kingdom of God arrive with power"
(Mark 9:1)
Peter told the people:
”looking for and hastening the coming of the day of
God” (2 Pet 3:12). Which provokes the
question: How could the believers in that time-frame
of the first-century, hasten or speed up the coming
of the Kingdom, if it was coming externally in the
outer world?
When Nicodemus further questions Jesus about the
need to achieve the next stage of birth, Jesus
replies: "...Most
assuredly, I say to you,
We
speak what We know
and testify what We
have seen, and you do
not receive Our witness."
Thus, by virtue of his words, Jesus is not speaking
only of himself -- i.e., in the singular -- but
rather, he is speaking in the plural with respect to
the higher reality that ALL who achieve the next
stage of birth know, have seen, and can witness
to. And when Nicodemus still did not understand
what Jesus was stating with respect to the need to
bring about the next stage of birth, Jesus stated
that he was yet too carnal and immature to
comprehend -- i.e., "...If
I have told you earthly things and you do not
believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly
things?" And this higher reality
remains as true today, as when Jesus stated these
words to Nicodemus: Organic man who does not
understand the need to bring about the next stages
of soul and spiritual births, are incapable of
understanding the
"...heavenly things" -- and even fail to
understand the esoteric reality of what Jesus
portrayed as "...earthly
things".

Mysticism
Encyclopedia Britannica under the heading, The
History of Christian Mysticism, where it reads:
“Although the essence
of mysticism is the sense of contact with the
transcendent, mysticism in the history of
Christianity should not be understood merely in
terms of special ecstatic experiences but as part of
a religious process lived out within the context of
the Christian community. From this perspective
mysticism played a vital part in the early church.
Early Christianity was a religion of the spirit that
expressed itself in the heightening and enlargement
of human consciousness”.
"Fellow Jews
and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain
this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These
men are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in
the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the
prophet Joel: ‘In the last days, God says, I will
pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and
daughters will prophesy, your young men will see
visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my
servants, both men and women, I will pour out my
Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will
show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the
earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to
blood before the coming of the great and glorious
day of the Lord’"
(Acts 2:14-21 NIV).
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire:
”Constantine easily believed
that the heretics, who presumed to dispute his
opinions or to oppose his commands, were guilty of
the most absurd and criminal obstinancy... Not a
moment was lost in excluding the ministers and
teachers of the separated congregations from any
share of the rewards and immunities which the
emperor had so liberally bestowed on the orthodox
clergy. But as the sectaries might still exist under
the cloud of royal disgrace, the conquest of the
East was immediately followed by an edict which
announced their total destruction”.
To what degree the church had fallen under the
control of blind carnal men can perhaps best be
envisioned in the words of Hilary, Bishop of
Poitiers, when he wrote:
“It is a thing equally deplorable and dangerous,
that there are as many creeds as opinions among men,
as many doctrines as inclinations, and as many
sources of blasphemy as there are faults among us;
because we make creeds arbitrarily, and explain them
as arbitrarily. The Homoousion is rejected, and
received, and explained away by successive synods.
The partial or total resemblance of the Father and
of the Son is a subject of dispute for these unhappy
times. Every year, nay, every moon, we make new
creeds to describe invisible mysteries. We repent
of what we have done, we defend those who repent, we
anathematize those who we defended. We condemn
either the doctrine of others in ourselves, or our
own in that of others; and, reciprocally tearing one
another to pieces, we have been the cause of each
other's ruin” (Quoted by E. Gibbon; The
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire).
Under the title of Bible in the Church, the
Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics writes: "In
the first two centuries nearly all the various readings of the New Testament
came into existence, the majority of them by deliberate alteration of the text,
many for the sake of style, and several in the interests of dogma… Often
readings were rejected as falsifications of heretics, but often the heretics
were right in their counter-complaint… Every province, every order, every
monastery, has a tradition of its own…".
If every province, every
order, and every monastery in the first two centuries had their
own version of the scriptures which supported their favorite doctrines of
belief, then we must seriously ask the question as to what has been passed down
to us today? Show me the modern Christian who promotes the idea that their
beliefs are from God because they are supported by the scriptures, and I will
show you believers who have failed to follow the advice of the Apostle and
"Test
all things".
Paul states: I will
“...tell about the visions
I've had, and revelations from the Lord. Fourteen
years ago I was taken up to heaven for a visit.
Don't ask me whether my body was there or just my
spirit, for I don't know; only God can answer that.
But anyway, there I was in paradise, and heard
things so astounding that they are beyond a man's
power to describe or put in words (and anyway I am
not allowed to tell them to others)”
(2 Cor 12:1-4 TLB).
What did Paul see and experience that was not only
beyond natural man's ability to comprehend, but was
not lawful to tell what he saw to others? In
the Martyrdom of Ignatius (first Century
Overseer of Antioch), Ignatius speaks of himself as
a disciple of John. In his Epistle to the Ephesians
he writes that he has been
“initiated into the mysteries
of the Gospel with Paul, the holy, the martyred”.
In his Epistle to the Trallaus he speaks of the
mysteries and writes:
“Might I not write to you
things more full of mystery? But I fear to do so,
lest I should inflict injury on you who are babes.
Pardon me in this respect, lest, as not being able
to receive their weighty import, ye should be
strangled by them”.
Ignatius also writes that though he is aware of the
mysteries, he is not yet
“by any means perfect, nor am
I such a disciple as Paul or Peter”.
What preacher of the gospel today warns his
congregation that if he was to reveal the true
teachings of the New Covenant -- the Gospel of God
-- he would “inflict
injury on you who are babes”
in Christ? What teaching of the Lord could a
present-day preacher of the gospel reveal that the
congregation of believers are not
“able to receive their
weighty import”?
If Ignatius or the other early Church Fathers who
knew the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God were with
us today, what profound mystery could they speak
regarding the true teachings of Jesus that believers
today would be
“strangled by them”?
Symbolic
Language Of The Scriptures
Quoting the Zohar where it states: “The narratives
of the doctrine are its cloak. The simple look only
on the garment, that is upon the narrative of the
doctrine; more they know not. The instructed,
however, see not merely the cloak, but what the
cloak covers”. The Jewish mystic who spends his life
seeking the inner meaning of the written word that
the natural mind of man is incapable of seeing, has
warned: "Thus the tales related in the Torah are
simply her outer garments, and woe to the man who
regards that outer garb as the Torah itself, for
such a man will be deprived of portion in the next
world..." (the Zohar quoted in The Zohar; Edited by
Gershom G. Scholem, Zohar- The Book of Splendor,
Basic Readings from the Kabbalah [New York, Schocken
Books, 1949]). Why would the Zohar warn: "...and woe
to the man who regards that outer garb as the Torah
itself, for such a man will be deprived of portion
in the next world..."?
The pre-Nicene Church Father Origen wrote with
respect to the scriptures: “What man of sense will
agree with the statement that the first, second and
third days in which the evening is named and the
morning, were without sun, moon and stars, and the
first day without a heaven. What man is found such
an idiot as to suppose that God planted trees in
paradise in Eden, like a husbandman, and planted
therein the tree of life, perceptible to the eyes
and senses, which gave life to the eater thereof;
and another tree which gave to the eater thereof a
knowledge of good and evil? I believe that every man
must hold these things for images, under which the
hidden sense lies concealed” (Origen - Huet.,
Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p. 142).
Quoting the Church historian Eusebius who writes of
the doctrines conceived by the early Christians
Papias and Irenaeus: “Papias reproduces other
stories communicated to him by word of mouth,
together with some otherwise unknown parables and
teachings of the Saviour, and other things of a more
allegorical character. He says that 'after the
resurrection of the dead there will be a period of a
thousand years when Christ's kingdom will be set up
on this earth in material form'. I suppose he got
these notions by misinterpreting the apostolic
accounts and failing to grasp what they said in
mystic and symbolic language. For he seems to have
been a man of very small intelligence, to judge from
his books..." (Eusebius, Hist Eccl., Book III,
39.11).
In his book entitled Fragments of a Faith Forgotten,
G.R.S. Mead explains that what the authors truly
“…projected onto the screen… [in the form of a ]
picture of the universe was in reality a picture of
their own minds." He then writes of the scriptures:
"Its mythology is a symbolic portrayal, almost a
deliberate one, of the forces which operate in the
structuring and evolution of the human personality”.
Moses Maimonedes, one
of the most respected of Jewish theologians,
historian, and Talmudist, writes about the nature
of scripture: “Every time
that you find in our books a tale the reality of
which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant
to both reason and common sense, then be sure that
the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a
deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the
absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of
the spirit”.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christ Before Jesus
Today we call ourselves by the Greek word Christian
-- but have we ever questioned where the term
originated? And what does it mean? The New
Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge
confirms that the name "originated outside of
Christian and Jewish circles". The Mercer
Dictionary of the Bible states that: "By the late
first and early second centuries the name
‘Christian,’ which early believers avoided using of
themselves, was beginning to be accepted".
If modern believers were truly sincere in their
desire for a more intimate relationship with the
Lord, they would immediately want to know and
question why "early believers avoided" using
the name Christian? When it is realized that even
the very name Christian was in use prior to the time
of Jesus, we truly begin to grasp the Pagan
connection. The name Christian was a term employed
to describe one who was an initiate, and understood
the inner meaning of the Greek and Roman mystery
religions. Thus, the early followers of Jesus
refused to be called Christian, and call Jesus the
Christ, because the word was used in reference to
enlightened Pagans and their gods.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gnostic
Under the heading of Gnosticism, the Encyclopedia
Britannica states: “Among
the majority of the followers of the movement,
'Gnosis' was understood not as meaning 'knowledge'
or 'understanding', in our sense of the word, but
'revelation'. These little Gnostic sects and groups
all lived in the conviction that they possessed a
secret and mysterious knowledge, in no way
accessible to those outside, which was not to be
proved or propagated, but believed in by the
initiated, and anxiously guarded as a secret. This
knowledge of theirs was not based on reflection, on
scientific inquiry and proof, but on revelation. It
was derived directly from the times of primitive
Christianity, from the Savior himself and from his
disciples and friends, with whom they claimed to be
connected by a secret tradition, or else from later
prophets, of whom many sects boasted. It was laid
down in wonderful mystic writings, which were in the
possession of the various circles”.
Christian Church Father Clement of Alexandria who
explains: “Faith is the
foundation; knowledge the superstructure, by
knowledge faith is perfected, for to know is more
than to believe. Faith is a summary knowledge of
urgent truths; knowledge a sure demonstration of
what has been received through faith, being itself
reared upon faith through the teachings of the Lord.
Thus the Gnostic grasps
the complete truth of all revelation from the
beginning of the world to the end, piercing to the
depths of scripture, of which the believer tastes
the surface only. As a
consequence of this intelligent sympathy with the
Divine Will, the Gnostic becomes in perfect unity in
himself, and as far as possible like God. Definite
outward observances cease to have any value for one
whose being is brought into abiding harmony with
that which is eternal; he has no wants, no passions;
he rests in the contemplation of God, which is and
will be his unfailing blessedness ”
(quoting Clement of Alexandria in Smith & Wace's
Bible Dictionary).
When Clement
portrays the Gnostic Christian as being in
“…unity in himself”,
and developing to where they have become
“…like God” and
“…brought into abiding
harmony with that which is eternal”, it
is at that time when the disciple becomes the True
Christian by entering the final stage of spiritual
development, and fulfills the biblical requirement
as set forth by Jesus in the words:
“You, therefore, must be
perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”
(Matt 5:48 RSV). Even our very own Bibles at one
time more clearly taught this same concept. In the
third century 1 John 3:2 read somewhat differently
than it does in our present translations. Quoting
from Origen’s Contra Celsum we read that
“it doth not yet appear
what we shall be; but we know that when He shall
appear, we shall be like God, and shall see Him as
He is”. With regard to our becoming like
God, Origen then writes regarding Matthew 5:48 that
“...the virtue of man and
of God is identical. And therefore we are taught to
become ‘perfect,’ as our Father in heaven is
perfect”.
This great truth is seen in
Origen's reply to Celsus where he wrote:
“By
participation in the Son of God one is adopted as a
son…
by participation in the Holy Spirit is a man
rendered holy and spiritual…”.
Those who have not themselves yet uncovered
their true spiritual nature as the Sons and
Daughters of God, perceive sacred truths in forms,
types, and allegories -- because they, being
carnal,
“cannot
comprehend” the mysteries of God that
awaits them.
When God, in the words of St. Nazianzen, no
longer is an
“object of
wonder”, but rather an
“object of
desire” -- and we, desiring to be
purified from the defilements of this world, make
ourselves fit vessels for the Lord to indwell, the
Spirit, according to St. Nazianzen, reveals to us
our true nature, and the revelation of this manifest
Sacred Knowledge makes
“us like
God; so that when we have thus become like Himself,
God may, to use a bold expression, hold converse
with us as Gods, being united to us, and that
perhaps to the same extent as He already knows those
who are known to Him”.
St. Nazianzen then writes that
“the
Divine Nature then is boundless and hard to
understand” by those who are yet carnal
and think as natural beings of this world.
Bible
Interpretation
A statement of the Apostle Peter is preserved in
the Homilies of Clement where Peter is quoted as
stating:
"...therefore great care is to be taken, that when
the law of God is read, it be not read according to
the understanding of our own mind. For there are
many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be
drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived
for himself; and this ought not to be done. For you
ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense,
which you have brought from without".
And in the same way that present-day Christianity
is a religion of innumerable teachers and almost
countless sects and factions, the reality of these
words are totally incomprehensible to the modern
Church. Yet, these words are not only
representative of the very core foundation of the
Gospel teachings, but they are representative of the
original objectives of the New Covenant. In making
reference to The True Prophet who Jesus portrayed as
the One Teacher (see
The True Prophet
http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org#TrueProphet
), Peter warns that:
"Hence, O beloved Clement,
if you would know the things pertaining to God,
you have to learn them from Him alone, because He
alone knows the truth. For if any one else knows
anything, he has received it from Him or from His
disciples”. If we ask the question:
What is being said to the believer who desires to be
faithful to the Gospel Teachings? In the same way
that the believer is commanded to seek out the One
Teacher, and the commandment that
"...when
the law of God (scriptures) is read, it be not read
according to the understanding of our own mind"
-- it is being stated that there is only One Source
of Truth -- and that the wisdom of man will misguide
the seeker. By design, human reasoning is
incapable of understanding the true meaning of the
scriptures -- i.e.,
"...therefore great care is to be taken, that when
the law of God is read, it be not read according to
the understanding of our own mind."
And neither should you listen to other men's gravely
flawed interpretations of the scriptures -- i.e.,
"...For you ought not to seek a foreign and
extraneous sense, which you have brought from
without". Jesus taught that there
is only one Source of Truth, and the disciple/seeker
must learn directly from that One Teacher -- i.e,
"Then opened He their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures"
(Luke 24:45) .
And thus, these words which are representative of
the core Gospel teachings, are inconceivable to the
modern faith-based believer who is divided and
disenfranchised from the very essence and objectives
of the Gospel teachings -- overwhelmed and anchored
to a carnal mindset that is of the
"outer darkness"
-- spiritually disenfranchised by innumerable
manmade opinions, factions and sects which totally
alienate the believer from the Truth and the
Kingdom.
Respecting the True Prophet, Peter explains that
"...And therefore I
advise not only wise men, but indeed all men who
have a desire of knowing what is advantageous to
them, that they seek after the True Prophet; for it
is He alone who knoweth all things, and who knoweth
what and how every man is seeking.
For He is within the mind of
every one of us, but in those who have no desire of
the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He is
inoperative; but He works in those who seek after
that which is profitable to their souls, and kindles
in them the light of knowledge.
Wherefore seek Him first of
all; and if you do not find Him, expect not that you
shall learn anything from any other.
But He is soon found by those
who diligently seek Him through love of the truth,
and whose souls are not taken possession of by
wickedness. For He is present with those who desire
Him in the innocence of their spirits, who bear
patiently, and draw sighs from the bottom of their
hearts through love of the truth; but He deserts
malevolent minds, because as a prophet He knows the
thoughts of every one. And therefore let no one
think that he can find Him by his own wisdom,
unless, as we have said, he empty his mind of all
wickedness, and conceive a pure and faithful desire
to know Him. For when any one has so prepared
himself, He Himself as a prophet, seeing a mind
prepared for Him, of His own accord offers Himself
to his knowledge”
ANSWER: You are at a great disadvantage. In the
first place, the scriptures have been corrupted --
mistranslated -- and misrepresented. Moreover, the
scriptures are a parable within a greater parable.
You must apply the Key of Knowledge to understand
them. And that those who don't understand the
allegorical language of the soul, Peter is quoted by
his disciple Clement: "...therefore great care is to
be taken, that when the law of God is read, it be
not read according to the understanding of our own
mind. For there are many sayings in the divine
Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which
every one has preconceived for himself; and this
ought not to be done. For you ought not to seek a
foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought
from without" You are applying the
"understanding of your own mind" -- and you are
using the man-made dogma of the Church in your
interpretations. If you want me to explore with you
how to properly apply the scriptures as the Key of
Knowledge, I can. It is up to you.
The Closer
Those who have watched The Closer on TV may be
familiar with an analogy that was set forth in Part
2 of the episode Serving the King, where Islamic
terrorists were attempting to use nuclear weapons to
destroy the US which in the (below) analogy is
portrayed as the king. And in this analogy Brenda
Leigh Johnson explains as to their role:
"I remember once hearin' a
speech about what it meant to be an officer of the
CIA and the man who gave this speech talked about
the struggle to control civilization and how we're
always fightin' the same fight, and he used the dark
ages as an example. And he talked about how on the
one side you had the pragmatic king who was greedy
and power hungry and basically took advantage of
people whenever he could. And on the other side you
had the idealistic church forcin' everyone to follow
the same rules, believe the same thing, and all
that. Neither the king nor the church was ever
completely right or wrong, both sides ended up doin'
terrible things to get what they wanted, really
terrible things. The point of the story was this,
that this struggle from the dark ages had been goin'
on forever, and the church and the king might take
on different philosophies but they would always
fight each other, pragmatists and idealists, and at
most times, you're better off standin' on the
sidelines, lettin' them duke it out. But every once
in a while, one side or the other decides it might
be better just to blow up the whole world just to
get its own way and when that happens you can't
stand on the sidelines any more. You have to pick a
team. So for tonight anyway, we're servin' the
king."
In view of the fact that (1) you remain ignorant of
your past lives -- (2) you have never opened the
door to your higher soul-self -- and (3) since
therefore you have very limited mental resources to
rely upon -- let me assure you that the above
analogy is very true with respect to the plight of
man in this, the Far Country. And my own personal
success throughout the expanse of time over the
course of thousands of years, has been the work of
saving the people who can be rescued from the folly
of the two warring sides whose primary goal is to
rule over the people -- i.e., "...The point of the
story was this, that this struggle from the dark
ages had been goin' on forever, and the church and
the king might take on different philosophies but
they would always fight each other, pragmatists and
idealists, and at most times, you're better off
standin' on the sidelines, lettin' them duke it
out." The problem is that due to
the volatal situation that has been brought about by
The Laws, complacency to these two warring factors
at this time constitutes sin of the highest order.
If you understand the Cosmic Octaves, then you
become aware of those special intervals where
greater change can be achieved than throwing
life-preservers to small groups of sincere seekers
-- and this is one of those times. And if myself
and the handful of others fail in our mission, then
the proverbial waring factors will invoke great
destruction upon a great number of people --
i.e.,"...But every once in a while, one side or the
other decides it might be better just to blow up the
whole world just to get its own way and when that
happens you can't stand on the sidelines any
more.".
I have a medical Doctor friend, who has a psychic
friend, who studied many religious fields and even
Theosophy, who could astral travel through the
astral worlds, which he claimed to be very
dangerous, until you really know your way around,
bypassing the darker aeons--According to my friend,
his psychic friend told him that there are specific
aeons for each religious group; in the Christian
aeon all the travesties and even inquisitions are
still at the order of the day; in the Jewish aeon is
continuous Torah studying; he said that the Buddhist
aeon is the most dull and grey of them all, because
they are just sitting in this dull grey atmosphere
saying mantras all the time; apparently it is so
dull grey there because they completely blanked
their minds here on Earth, and didn't really believe
there is a GOD--Thus according to him everything
continuous very much the same as down here--Is it
true?--I simply don't know.
I was born understanding Karma.. and how to jump off
the Karmic wheel when the understanding and
compassion of how to comes into your life.... or
your mind... What he did to me with the knife and
the continuous assault for three months or more was
a debt he owed me...... when I went IN TU IT and
found out what I had incurred upon him before when
we were together in another lifetime my heart and my
mind totally understood this ...............totally
When I had this flash of insight and my body also
remembered I called him on the phone to let him know
.. that I understood. I asked him if he had a few
mins to speak to me....... reluctantly he
said YES...... I then proceeded to tell him that I
FORGAVE him for all he did to me TO ME and that I
understood why he did it.......... He was
speechless..... for about 30 secs and then said to
me Janet I don't know what to say .......... how can
you forgive me I said well I can I know why you did
what you did and I am calling you know to let you
know I forgive you totally and completely I then
proceeded to explain to him that I am jumping off
this wheel with him now because I have come to that
place on my path...... that I understand the whys
and hows of why he did it. I told him I love you
unconditionally and will always love
you unconditionally. he said what? I said
unconditional love is the first and most
important lesson any soul can learn I said Thank you
for bringing me that lesson and doing your JOB
really well from this lesson you gave me I have
learned much I am now telling you I am off this
wheel with you, one of us had to learn I did
........... I send you love, compassion and
peace. May you find peace and happiness in your
life and now I am gone from it I love you, take
care end of conversation

Circumcision
Circumcision is an
allegory. As stated in the Gospel of the
Nazirenes: "And one asked Him, "Master, do you
want infants to be received into the
congregation as Moses commanded, by
circumcision?" And Jesus answered, "For those
who are in Christ there is no cutting of the
flesh, nor shedding of blood." (see http://GospelOfTheNazirenes.org ).
As stated at http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/ohara/ ,
circumcision not only impacts male sexuality,
but also female. It is a barbaric ritual that
was rejected by the Ebionites and all spiritual
people.
Desire And Commitment
Desire and commitment is often the catalyst that
brings ultimate success: Thus, time for an anology:
A hermit was meditating by a river when a young man
interrupted him. "Master, I wish to become your
disciple," said the man. "Why?" replied the hermit.
The young man thought for a moment. "Because I want
to find God." The master jumped up, grabbed him by
the scruff of his neck, dragged him into the river,
and plunged his head under water. After holding him
there for a minute, with him kicking and struggling
to free himself, the master finally pulled him up
out of the river. The young man coughed up water and
gasped to get his breath. When he eventually quieted
down, the master spoke. "Tell me, what did you want
most of all when you were under water." "Air!"
answered the man. "Very well," said the master. "Go
home and come back to me when you want God as much
as you just wanted air."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Same Sex
pists Sophia chapter CHAPTER 147 Of the chastisement
of the homosexual Bartholomew said. “A man who hath
intercourse with a male what is his vengeance?’
Jesus said: “The measure of the man who hath
intercourse with males and of the man with whom he
lieth, is the same as that of the blasphemer. “When
then the time is completed through the sphere, the
receivers of Yaldabaoth come after their soul, and
he with his forty-and-nine demons taketh vengeance
on it eleven years. “Thereafter they carry it to the
fire-rivers and seething pitch-seas, which are full
of demons with pigs’ faces. They eat into them and
take vengeance on [?] them in the fire-rivers
another eleven years. Thereafter they carry them
into the outer darkness until the Day of Judgment
when the great darkness is judged; and then they
will be dissolved and destroyed.”
