Who Are
The Ebionites?
The Ebionites are the original disciples and
followers of the historical man Yeshua who
is today called Jesus. The term
Ebionite means "the
poor", and does not denote a sect
-- but rather, a condition of mind that is
supported by a spiritually based
foundational lifestyle. Those who can be portrayed as
"poor"
(Ebionites)
to the ways and thinking of this world --
thereby spiritually fulfilling the
requirement to be in the world and not of
it. Ebionite, therefore,
portrays a condition of mind necessary to be
a genuine disciple of Yeshua/Jesus and
TheWay. In the Beginning all
believers and followers of Yeshua/Jesus were
called Ebionites. Thus, the early Church
Authority Epiphanius writes that the name
Ebionite "...was at
first ...a common name for all Christians"
(quoted from Epiphanius Adv. Haer., xxix.
1). Ebionite means the
"poor ones"
-- Yeshua said:
"Blessed in spirit are the poor, for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven" (Quoted
from the
Gospel
of the Nazirenes). To fulfill the
requirement to be in the world and not of
it, one must be poor in the ways, thinking
and mindset of this world! The
Ebionites are the True Disciples of TheWay,
and the ONLY Genuine Followers of Yeshua/Jesus.
Because of the grave influence of Pagan Rome
and its dogma that was literally forced upon
the Church by the sword of the Emperor
Constantine, modern Christianity is very
much rich in the ways and thinking of
this world -- a spiritual condition
portrayed in the teaching that it would be easier for a
camel to pass through the eye of a needle,
than for the modern Christian to gain
entrance into the Kingdom.
In our Community we have six (6) members
whose Soul lived in the first century as
Ebionite Nazirenes. By restoring the
body of knowledge the Church threw away,
these Souls to varying degrees prevailed
over the human condition of
Spiritual Amnesia
http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#SpiritualAmnesia
-- thereby enabling them to recall many of
the actual events that transpired when
Yeshua/Jesus walked the earth as a true Holy
Man who was At-One with the Indwelling
Logos. Among these members is the Soul
who lived as Jacob who they call James, the
Brother of Yeshua who they call Jesus (
http://BrotherOfYeshua.com ).
Which provokes the question: Why doesn't the
modern Christian understand the higher
reality of the Soul that evolves to
Perfection and Wholeness over the course of
many lifetimes? Because this
core teaching was removed from the Gospels
by the pagan Church of Rome i.e., see The
Religion Of Roman Emperors
http://ChristianReincarnation.org#emperors.
With the suppression of this crucial
teaching, modern Christians can't understand
the spiritual meaning of the Gospels -- the
higher reality of the Soul -- The Allotment
Of Talents
http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#AllotmentOfTalents
in the parable of TheCall, or The Talents
And Their Relationship to Each Person's
Spiritual DNA
http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#SpiritualDNA
.
In the fourth century Spiritual
Christianity became outlawed, while
Secularized Institutionalized
Pagan-Christianity became the only religion
permitted in the Roman Empire.
Traditionally, reality has been
what sectarian and secular leaders have said
it is. To oppose these pseudo-authorities
of both church and state, is to be condemned
and rejected as a heretic -- which often
carried the sentence of death. These
sectarian and secular leaders primary goal
was to preserve their own positions as
religious and political authority over the
people. And throughout man's past,
religion was one of the primary tools that
was used by secular rulers to maintain
unquestioned authority over the people. In
the case of the Christian Church beginning
in the fourth century, to disagree with the
doctrines affirmed by the Emperor
Constantine, carried with it the sentence of
death. Thus, Gibbon writes in the 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”.
Thus, in the same way that whoever did not
embrace the religion of the emperor met with
the sentence of death, whatever scriptures
did not conform to the approved version, was
immediately destroyed (see
http://BibleCorruption.com ).
The Parable Of TheCall To The Wedding
Banquette: One of the most important
parabolic teachings that is relevant in the
life of every man, woman and child, is
TheCall to the Wedding Banquette. The Great
Truths that are presented in the parables --
and especially TheCall to the Wedding
Banquette -- is relevant to all of mankind
regardless of their religion or lack of
religious beliefs. What is relevant to the
believer, is just as relevant to the
unbelievers -- primarily because what is
being presented is a matter and reality of
the Natural Laws of this world and
Creation. But from a Christian perspective,
there exits an even greater looming question
based upon the fact that the Truths
presented in the parable is in direct
opposition to Christian Church dogma. And
this is seen in the fact that the parable
of TheCall possesses a serious enigma that
remains virtually impossible for the modern
believer to even begin to deal with. The
problem: If the Christians are personified
in the parable as the invited guests, then
it is nearly impossible for the modern
Christian to correctly interpret the meaning
of the parables as they universally apply to
all of mankind. Why? Because the dogma and
teachings of the modern Church has virtually
nothing in common with the original Gospel
teachings of Jesus and TheWay. Yet, each
person's success in their present life, can
be gauged by their response to TheCall, and
their place at the Wedding Banquette. The
parables in the Gospels present Universal
Truths that are relevant to all of mankind
-- which means that the modern Christian
must choose between the Original Gospel
Teachings, or the manmade dogma of the
Church -- and it cannot be both.
|
Jesus answered and spoke again
in parables to them, saying,
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a
certain king, who made a
marriage feast for his son, and
sent out his servants to call
those who were invited to the
marriage feast, but they would
not come. Again he sent out
other servants, saying, 'Tell
those who are invited, "Behold,
I have prepared my dinner. My
cattle and my fatlings are
killed, and all things are
ready. Come to the marriage
feast!"' But they made light of
it, and went their ways, one to
his own farm, another to his
merchandise, and the rest
grabbed his servants, and
treated them shamefully, and
killed them. When the king heard
that, he was angry, and sent his
armies, destroyed those
murderers, and burned their
city. "Then he said to his
servants, 'The wedding is ready,
but those who were invited
weren't worthy. Go therefore to
the intersections of the
highways, and as many as you may
find, invite to the marriage
feast.' Those servants went out
into the highways, and gathered
together as many as they found,
both bad and good. The wedding
was filled with guests. But when
the king came in to see the
guests, he saw there a man who
didn't have on wedding clothing,
and he said to him, 'Friend, how
did you come in here not wearing
wedding clothing?' He was
speechless. Then the king said
to the servants, 'Bind him hand
and foot, take him away, and
throw him into the outer
darkness; there is where the
weeping and grinding of teeth
will be.' For many are called,
but few chosen."
—Matthew 22:1-14, World English
Bible

It is imperative
to recognize that the parable of TheCall is
universal to all of mankind -- every man,
woman and child. The reality that is
allegorically portrayed is true with respect
to all nonbelievers and believers of all
religions. Among the many questions the
parable raises is: What is TheCall? How
does a person come to TheCall? In the
parable, who are the invited guests who did
not come? How did they come to be invited?
What makes the invited guests different than
the uninvited who the parable portrays as
being found in the
"intersections of the highways"
of life? What is the wedding garment?
How does a person put the wedding garment
on? What is the
"outer darkness" (of mind and
being) that those who failed to put on the
wedding garment were cast into? What is
the consequence of being cast into the
"outer darkness"
(see
Outer Darkness)? If it is true that
the "outer
darkness" in TheCall, is a
diminished condition of mind in the Far
Country in the parable of the prodigal son,
and how is this mentally and spiritually
suppressed condition overcome? How does one
escape the "outer
darkness" of the Far Country?
When the king states:
"those who were invited weren't worthy"
-- what constitutes being worthy? What is
the fate of the invited guests who did not
come? (see
http://TheCall.Nazirene.org )
Baptism - The Required Wedding Garment:
The Gospel teachings of Jesus and the New
Covenant known as TheWay, has specific
Sacraments -- and the spiritual significance
of these sacraments are not at all
understood today. In the parable of
TheCall to the Wedding Feast, what is
portrayed as the required
"wedding garment" is
in fact the sacrament of baptism. But the
original teachings on baptism was totally
abandoned by the segment of early Gentile
Church which portrayed itself as Orthodox,
and it is this man-made dogma that has
caused the original teachings on baptism to
be very different than what is practiced
today. In total rejection of the modern
dogma of the Church, Paul writes (see above)
that "...For if we
sin deliberately after receiving the
knowledge of the truth, there no longer
remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful
prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire
which will consume the adversaries."
(Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV). Peter confirms
the foregoing in the words:
"It would have been
better for them not to have known the way of
righteousness, than to have known it and
then to turn their backs on the sacred
command that was passed on to them."
Paul again warns that those who sin
after coming to the Lord
"eateth and
drinketh damnation to himself".
And while Christians have blindly chosen to
ignore these warnings, they are confirmed in
the Homilies of Clement who was the first
century disciple of the Apostle Peter where
he is quoted as stating with respect to the
sacrament of Baptism: "He
has commanded us to go forth to preach, and
to invite you to the supper of the heavenly
King, which the Father hath prepared for the
marriage of His Son, and that we should give
you wedding garments, that is, the grace of
baptism; which whosoever obtains,
as a spotless robe
with which he is to enter to the supper of
the King,
ought to beware that
it be not in any part
of it stained with sin,
and so he be
rejected as unworthy and reprobate."
Contrary to the modern usage of the
sacrament of baptism, according to Peter,
once the "wedding
garment" is received, if the
person then willfully sins, then the wedding
garment is stained, and there can be no
further repentance -- i.e., you "...ought
to beware that it be not in any part of it
stained with sin, and so he be rejected as
unworthy and reprobate."
The most popular
and accepted scripture over the first three
centuries was the Shepherd of Hermas (see
Shepherd), which states that once one
receives the sacrament of baptism which is
the "wedding
garment", there is only one
opportunity for repentance from any future
sins -- i.e., "For
he that hath received remission of sins
ought no longer to sin, but to dwell in
purity. ...But I say unto you', saith he,
`if after this great and holy calling any
one, being tempted of the devil, shall
commit sin, he hath only one (opportunity
of) repentance." While this
original teaching will be rejected by the
modern dogmatic Church who uses the
Jesus-god of Constantine as an exemption
from being required to live in accord with
the Commandments and the Original Gospel
Teachings, this statement in the Shepherd of
Hermas is in fact confirmed by Paul in the
warning: "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 sin deliberately after receiving the
knowledge of the truth, there no longer
remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful
prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire
which will consume the adversaries." (Heb
6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV). Thus, Acts 3:19
confirms the original teachings that baptism
-- as the required wedding garment -- must
constitute a total repentance from sin, and
the living of a life where the believer does
not consciously commit any future sin:
"Repent, then, and
turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped
out, that times of refreshing may come from
the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah,
who has been appointed for you...".
To repent and turn to God, requires a total
change of mind and lifestyle. Those who
truly accomplish this, will personally
receive the Anointing (Messiah/Christ),
which will open their minds and enlighten
them in accord with their Spiritual
Condition. (see The Faux-Baptism Of The
Church
http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#ChurchFauxBaptism
).
The Sin Of The Defiled Wedding Garment:
Quoting the Homilies of Clement who
preserved the words of the Apostle Peter on
how the required Wedding Garment becomes
defiled:
|
"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, and
who has sent us twelve apostles
to preach the word; if any one
think otherwise than worthily of
the substance of the Godhead,
which excels all things; — these
are the things which even
fatally pollute the garment of
baptism. But the things which
pollute it in actions are these:
murders, adulteries, hatreds,
avarice, evil ambition. And the
things which pollute at once the
soul and the body are these: to
partake of the table of demons,
that is, to taste things
sacrificed, or blood, or a
carcass which is strangled, and
if there be aught else which has
been offered to demons. Be this
therefore the first step to you
of three; which step brings
forth thirty commands, and the
second sixty, and the third a
hundred, as we shall expound
more fully to you at another
time." |
In understanding
that sin when it is knowingly committed, is
the reason why Paul warned (see above) that
such a person is an apostate to the Gospel
teachings and the Kingdom - i.e.,
"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 sin
deliberately after receiving the knowledge
of the truth, there no longer remains a
sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect
of judgment, and a fury of fire which will
consume the adversaries." (Heb
6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV). And that in Paul's
words the reference is clearly made to the
alleged believer when he warned:
"...For anyone who
eats and drinks without discerning the body
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself"
(1 Cor 11:27-29). With respect to the
actions of the original disciples as
presented in the Book of Acts in the setting
up of spiritual communities that were to be
set apart from the culture and people of
this world to the degree that Paul commanded
the Christians to have nothing to do with
those who were morally and spiritually
unclean -- i.e.,
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be
ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not
the unclean thing; and I will receive you" (2
Cor 6:17 KJV). To the degree that Paul
commanded the community of believers not
even to dine with sinners -- i.e.,
"I
wrote to you in my epistle not to keep
company with sexually 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).
In the above
words of Peter there is another catalyst
presented that virtually no Christian today
possesses the spiritual insight to
comprehend -- i.e., (quoting)
"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." An alleged believer
who defiled the wedding garment, is
portrayed as someone who
"...withdraw from
God the Father and Creator of all"
-- and this withdrawal is based upon the sin
of going to a teacher other than the True
Prophet. And having
"...withdrawn from God", these
people cannot even be legitimately called
Christians. All of which goes back to the
proclamation: "And
why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the
things which I say?" (Luke 6:46
KJV).
What this means
is that all the dogmatic teachings and
doctrines of the various Churches has the
effect of defiling the wedding garment and
alienating the believer from the Promise of
the Gospel. And in the same way that the
True Prophet can only be approached through
the wearing of an unspotted
"wedding garment"
-- and the True Prophet must be sought with
a pure heart and the living of a Consecrated
Life in TheWay -- as stated in the Second
Commandment of the Didache:
"And the second
commandment of the Teaching; You shall not
commit murder, you shall not commit
adultery, you shall not commit pederasty,
you shall not commit fornication, you shall
not steal, you shall not practice magic, you
shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not
murder a child by abortion nor kill that
which is born. You shall not covet the
things of your neighbor, you shall not
swear, you shall not bear false witness, you
shall not speak evil, you shall bear no
grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor
double-tongued, for to be double-tongued is
a snare of death. Your speech shall not be
false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You
shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a
hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty.
You shall not take evil counsel against your
neighbor. You shall not hate any man; but
some you shall reprove, and concerning some
you shall pray, and some you shall love more
than your own life."
When Jesus
condemned going to the teachers of this
world -- and stated to his disciples that
there was only One Teacher -- this Inner
Teacher was called the True Prophet (see
True Prophet) by his Ebionite Nazirene
Disciples. One of the primary objectives of
the Original Gospel teachigns was to bring
about that condition within the mind and
life of the individual where they are able
to fulfill the statement in the Gospel of
John, and be
"taught by God" -- i.e.,
"It is written in the
prophets, 'And they shall all be
taught by God.'
Therefore everyone who has heard and learned
from the Father comes to Me"
(John 6:45 NKJ). And it was for this
reason that Jesus commanded his disciples
not to be called teacher or rabbi -- i.e.,
"But you are not to
be called rabbi, for you have One Teacher,
and you are all brethren" (Matt
23:8 RSV) -- and this was commanded, because
there is Only One True Teacher, and that is
the True Prophet -- Often referred to as the
Logos, the Son of God, and the Teacher of
Righteousness. And that those lost
prodigal sons who look to other men as their
teacher, rabbi or leaders, will be greatly
deceived and misguided, is why the disciple
Peter in the Clementine Homilies declared:
“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”.
Thus, this
reality of the Indwelling True Prophet and
One Teacher is especially demonstrated in
the Recognitions of Clement, where St.
Clement quotes the teachings of the Apostle
Peter. In chapter 59, under the heading of
The True Prophet, Clement quotes Peter and
writes: “But I
would not have you think, that in saying
this I take away the power of judging
concerning things; but I give counsel that
no one walk through devious places, and rush
into errors without end. 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”.
What does Peter
say to us in these words? That the True
Prophet “is within
the mind of every one of us”.
This concept is Spiritual -- and is the
foundation of the Living Church that the
Lord inaugurated. But unless you live the
Consecrated Life as a Disciple of TheWay --
and seek the Divine Manna of the Inner
Kingdom -- you cannot be taught by the True
Prophet, and receive the Sacred Knowledge or
Divine Manna of the Kingdom. And in the
same writing these rather profound words are
stated that would be totally rejected by the
teachers, philosophers and scholars of this
world, is the warning:
“Hence, O beloved
Clement", proclaims Peter,
“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”. And even
more profound is the warning that it is
impossible for carnal man in his organic
state of mind, to perceive and understand
the true meaning of the scriptures -- i.e.,
in the words of Peter:
"...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". Which means that
those who proclaim they know Jesus, have all
been greatly deceived -- and all the
knowledge that people think they have, is
pseudo-knowledge from the perspective of
True Gnosis/Divine Manna of the Kingdom. And
since the vast majority of people reject the
necessary life and mindset that enables them
to be taught directly by the True Prophet,
they dwell in this world under the illusion
of knowledge. In order to learn from the
True Prophet, you must become the
"good ground"
in the parable of the Sower and the Seed
(see
Sower And The Seed ) -- transform your
body and mind into the
Final Temple -- and you must live and
manifest the Truth that you have received in
word, thought, desire and deed. And it was
for this reason that Jesus said that only
the very few will enter into Life (
http://GateOfEden.com ).
From the
perspective of the sin that defiles the
necessary wedding garment -- which sin
causes the person to be cast out into the
"outer darkness"
of mind and being -- is the Spiritual
Adultery of seeking teachers in this world
-- instead of living the necessary
Consecrated Life in TheWay that enables the
seeker to enter into and sustain a Spiritual
Marriage with the Son of God that dwells at
the core essence of our being.
When Paul wrote to the Christian
congregations:
"I
wrote to you in my epistle not to keep
company with sexually 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). Do you think it would be
OK to send your children to government run
schools where the children are immersed in
virtually every aspect of sexual immorality
known to man? When Jesus stated:
"You have heard
that it was said to those of old, 'You shall
not commit adultery.' But I say to you that
whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has
already committed adultery with her in his
heart" (Matt 5:27-28). Can
you send your children to schools and be
entertained by an electronic media where
every variety of carnal lust is peddled as a
normal lifestyle? It is easily
concluded that Paul and all the biblical
sources portrayed the necessity to live a
Consecrated Life in TheWay -- totally
separate from the mindset and thinking of
this world -- i.e.,
"Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the
unclean thing; and I will receive you" (2
Cor 6:17 KJV).
In my countless
conversations and interactions with modern
Christians I can conclude that the body of
faith-based Christians are absolutely
clueless as to why the Gospels condemn and
reject all sexual and immoral behavior (see
Sexual
Immorality
http://SoulSelf.org#SexualImmorality ).
"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 Spiritual Manna which is
Spiritual Knowledge, can only be imparted to
man directly by God -- and can only be
received by those who
"overcome", and are prepared
to receive it. The Greek word for this
secret spiritual knowledge that can only be
imparted directly from God to those who are
prepared to receive it, is called
"Gnosis"
-- aka Spiritual Manna. Paul correctly
stated that the faith-based Christians who
are totally versed in what he called the
(historical)
"traditions of Jesus and him crucified",
were too carnal to receive the Spiritual
Manna or Sacred Knowledge that organic
"natural"
man cannot comprehend. Paul portrayed the
baptized and committed Christians who he
personally taught, as still being of an
"animal-soul"
level of consciousness who were incapable of
receiving the Divine Manna. And this
reality is expressed in the meaning of the
Greek text of Paul's First Epistle to the
Corinthians (2:14) where Paul states that
the "natural"
organic man cannot comprehend the higher
reality of the Soul and the Mysteries of the
Kingdom. Which profound statement provokes
the question: What is meant by the term that
Paul used when he described the very people
who he had himself taught who were incapable
of comprehending the higher reality of the
soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom when
he portrayed them as being of a
"natural"
organic level of mind and consciousness?
The Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
writes with respect to the meaning of the
word in the original Greek language:
"natural
man—literally, 'a man of animal soul'."
Further, the Treasury Of Scriptural
Knowledge states of this ignored and
profound statement at 1 Cor 2:14 which reads
(quoting Paul): "But
the natural man receives not the things of
the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness
to him: neither can he know them, because
they are spiritually discerned"
-- wherein the proper interpretative-meaning
of Paul's words with respect to the reality
of what is portrayed by Paul as the natural
man is then presented:
[Psuchikos,] the animal man, one who lives
in a natural state, and under the influence
of his animal passions; for [psuche] means
the inferior and sensual part of man, in
opposition to the [nous] understanding, or [pneuma,]
the spirit. And this is not only
true -- but is a fact of life that all
mystics and enlightened souls must deal with
when interacting with organic man. Which
is exactly why Paul profoundly stated to the
very people who he had personally taught the
Gospel message:
"And I, brethren, could not speak to you as
to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to
babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and
not with solid food; for until now you were
not able to receive it, and even now you are
still not able; for you are still carnal"
(1 Cor 3:1-3 NKJ). Stating to the body of
confirmed and baptized believers who he
stated had received all truth and knowledge
pertaining to the elementary
"traditions"
of Christ: “But the
natural man does not receive the things of
the Spirit of God, for they are
foolishness
to him; nor can he know them, because they
are spiritually
discerned”
(1 Cor 2:14 NKJ).
If
what Paul and the other Gospel Authors
stated is true, and there exist higher
realities and dimensions of being that are
totally inconceivable to the mind of the
undeveloped faith-based believer (see
Mysteries Of The Gospel ) -- and by
virtue of the immaturity of the faith-based
believers brought about by an embryonic
condition of mind which Paul portrayed as
the "natural"
mind of man -- and the limitations of this
embryonic condition of mind even inhibited
Jesus from conveying the true meaning of the
scriptures, and the higher reality of the
soul and the Kingdom to all but his inner
core of disciples (see
In The House - Taught In Parables) --
which means that the biblical authors were
therefore powerless to explain in any detail
and depth many of the most important Gospel
teachings and concepts in the literal text
of the New Testament -- then the spiritually
mature author's of the scriptures who were
themselves enlightened to these higher
realities, remained virtually powerless to
do anything more than to provide the people
with a list of do's and don'ts -- so that
the faith-based believers will be in a
position where they will be better able to
evolve to a mature understanding and
comprehension of the teachings of Jesus and
TheWay. To totally ignore these do's and
don'ts, without knowing the consequence of
one's choices and actions, is paramount to
walking out onto a freeway blindfolded.
The Law is that you, as a sincere seeker,
can never know any greater level of Truth,
than you are willing to live and manifest in
word, thought, desire and deed -- which
means that modern mainstream liberal
Christianity is virtually worthless.
Christians maintain that they are saved by
faith totally apart from their actions and
works -- and their salvation is guaranteed
from the moment they accept Jesus as their
personal Lord and Savior. But is this the
original teachings of Jesus? The Flawed
Doctrine Of Perpetual Redemption totally
ignores the many statements by Paul where he
warns: "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 sin deliberately after receiving the
knowledge of the truth, there no longer
remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful
prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire
which will consume the adversaries."
(Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV). Why did Paul
make such a statement? Because the
original Gospel teachings in their original
form was one of spiritual transformation --
a process that would evolve the mind of the
seeker/disciple from their embryonic
infantile condition, to that of higher
spiritual maturity and Wholeness. Those who
reject these teachings and fall back into
the thinking and lifestyle of this world --
who willfully sin after coming to the
knowledge of the Gospel message -- are not
only unbelievers and apostates to the
teachings of the Gospels, but in Paul's
words these counterfeit believers crucify
the Son of God afresh. And, in total
opposition to what is preached in the modern
Churches, Paul warns that
"...there no longer
remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful
prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire
which will consume the adversaries."
These, and other such spiritual concepts,
were totally unacceptable to the fourth
century heathen Church of Rome -- and while
these few passages continue to exist, the
scriptures were corrupted (see
http://BibleCorruption.com ) in order to
make the Gospels support the doctrines of a
series of Roman Emperors who ruled over the
Church from the fourth century onward.
That the Church has abandoned the original
teachings of Jesus -- to the degree that
when it is proven that the fourth century
Church even edited and corrupted the very
words of God spoken to man (see
http://TheTenWords.com ) -- means that
until the Church itself repents of this
great sin against the Holy Spirit, they will
remain under a cloud of ignorance in an
exiled state in a Spiritual Diaspora. What
does Paul, the Apostle of faith say? To
the Romans he warns:
"Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For
if God did not spare the natural branches,
he will not spare you either. Consider
therefore the kindness and sternness of God:
sternness to those who fell, but kindness to
you, provided that you continue in his
kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut
off" (Rom 11:20-22 NIV).
Because the fourth-century Christians
entered into a covenant with Pagan Rome --
installing the emperor who was not even
baptized, as the head of the Church -- and
in a state of absolute arrogance, hunted
down and murdered all sincere spiritual
Christians and original Ebionite Nazirenes
who did not accept the religious doctrines
of the emperor -- even editing and
corrupting the very words of God spoken to
mankind -- the Church has not only been
"cut off"
-- but the Christians themselves dwell in a
Spiritual Diaspora under the cloud of
spiritual ignorance.
The Greatest Hoax And Fraud Ever Perpetuated
Upon Mankind:
It is easily proven that The
Original New Covenant Teachings Have
Absolutely Nothing In Common With Modern
Church Dogma
http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#OriginalTeachings.
That what the modern Church promotes in the
name of the Gospel, is Faux-Christianity
that has virtually nothing in common with
the Original Teachings of Jesus
http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#FauxChristians
.
To even suggest as the Church has done, that
the very disciples who walked with Yeshua
daily -- talked with him daily -- the
disciple who Yeshua personally taught about
God -- directly explaining to them both his
and their relationship to the Father --
those who Yeshua said were a witness to the
Truth and TheWay -- that these same
disciples (in the words of the later Church
leaders) were too ignorant, or too Jewish,
to understand what Yeshua taught -- must be
representative of the greatest religious
fraud and deception known to man. Modern
archeological finding have proven that the
modern Church has virtually little in common
with the original teachings of Yeshua and
TheWay. And yet, regardless of the
facts, this same fraud and deception
continues to be preached from the pulpits of
most Churches -- spiritually
disenfranchising the Christian world to this
very day!!!
the
Encyclopedia Britannica writes:
"Most
of the features of Ebionite doctrine were
anticipated in the teachings of the earlier
Qumran sect, as revealed in the Dead
Sea Scrolls. They
believed in one God and taught that Jesus
was the Messiah and was the true "prophet"
mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:15. They
rejected the Virgin Birth of Jesus, instead
holding that he was the natural son of
Joseph and Mary. The Ebionites believed
Jesus became the Messiah because he obeyed
the Jewish Law. They themselves faithfully
followed the Law, although they removed what
they regarded as interpolations in order to
uphold their teachings, which included
vegetarianism, holy poverty, ritual
ablutions, and the rejection of animal
sacrifices. The Ebionites also held
Jerusalem in great veneration. (Encyclopaedia
Britannica Online).
Why did the Ebionite Nazirene disciples and
followers of Yeshua believe in this manner?
Because this is what Yeshua personally
taught them -- and the higher spiritual
truths were directly revealed to them by the
Holy Spirit. The teaching that Yeshua was a Holy Man who
fulfilled the Royal Law within himself --
thereby attaining a Condition of At-Oneness
with the Logos/Son of God that equally
dwells within all of mankind -- and that the
historical man Yeshua thereby became the
pattern of salvation for all of mankind to
embrace in their daily lives -- has little
to nothing in common with the religion that
is being preached from Christian pulpits
today.
Contrary to what the later deception which
the Church of Rome promoted, the Gospels
emphatically state that these same disciples
were representative of a witness to the
Truth and TheWay that Yeshua taught -- and
to even suggest that they were themselves
too ignorant, or too Jewish to understand
these teachings, is representative of the
greatest religious hoax that has ever been
perpetuated upon mankind. The Book of
Acts testifies to the fact that Yeshua
further instructed the disciples through the
Holy Spirit -- i.e.,
"after giving instructions through the
Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen"
(Acts 1:2-3 NIV). And these same disciples
witnessed to the fact that
"God anointed Jesus
of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power,
and how he went around doing good and
healing all who were under the power of the
devil, because God was with him"
(Acts 10:38 NIV). They portrayed Yeshua as
"...a Man attested
by God to you by miracles, wonders, and
signs which God did through Him in your
midst" (Acts 2:22 NKJV). But in
the fourth century the segment of the Church
who entered into a covenant relationship
with the Pagan Emperor Constantine not only
rejected the witness of the disciples who
personally knew Yeshua, that he was a man
who was Anointed (Messiah/Christ) by God --
but they changed the very words of God
spoken to mankind -- i.e.,
"Thou art my Son,
this day have I begotten thee"
(see
http://TheTenWords.com ).
What
these original Ten Words spoken by the
Father to mankind presented, was that the
original
Ebionite
Nazirene disciples of Jesus remained
totally faithful to the Gospel teachings.
If, as the very words of God spoken to
mankind stated, that Yeshua became the
Messiah (Anointed) and Son of God by living
the necessary Consecrated Life that enabled
him to fulfill the Law within himself, then
the truth of the Gospel is found in the
witness of the
Ebionites who held firmly to the
position that Jesus
"...was justified by
fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of
God, since not one of the rest of mankind
had observed the Law completely. Had any one
else fulfilled the commandments of the Law,
he would have been the Christ,
for they assert that our Lord Himself was a
man in like sense with all humanity" (see
Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii.
34). When the
Ebionite
Nazirenes
make reference to the Law, this
very much includes the Laws of Creation as
portrayed in the words
"...the designs/laws found throughout
Nature and all of Creation".
That the historical man Jesus was a pattern
for all of mankind because of his success in
overcoming the Laws, is demonstrated in the
words: "He was the
Christ of God, since not one of the rest of
mankind had observed the Law completely. Had
any one else fulfilled the commandments of
the Law, he would have been the Christ..."
And this confirms this statement with
respect to the true potential of all of
mankind that Yeshua taught, as demonstrated
in the words of early Christian authority
Hippolytus when he wrote that they (the
Ebionites) believed that when anyone
"...thus fulfill the
law, they are able to become Christs"
(Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii.
34 - see
http://Ebionite.com ). And this is why
Yeshua taught that he was our brother --
i.e., "Go instead
to my brothers and tell them, 'I am
returning to my Father and your Father, to
my God and your God'" (John
20:17 NIV).
The
heathen and pagan mind of the mainstream of
Gentiles always had great difficulty in
understanding the difference between the man
Jesus, the Indwelling Logos/Son of God which
is representative of the Mind of God (see
The Logos), and the One Teacher which
Jesus commanded all who would call
themselves his disciples and followers, were
to seek out and learn from (see
The True Prophet). And it was the
living of the necessary Consecrated Life
that Yeshua ordained, and the seeking of the
Kingdom within, that enabled the historical
Yeshua to become the Messiah, and At-One
with the Indwelling Logos/Son of God. And
this is especially demonstrated in the words
of Edward Gibbon with respect to the
original position of the Ebionite Nazirene
disciples of Yeshua that he was in
“...supernatural union of a man and God...
In their eyes, Jesus of Nazareth was a mere
mortal, the legitimate son of Joseph and
Mary: but he was the best and wisest of the
human race, selected as the worthy
instrument to restore upon earth the worship
of the true and supreme Deity. When he was
baptized in the Jordan, the Christ, the
first of the aeons, the Son of God himself,
descended on Jesus in the form of a dove, to
inhabit his mind, and direct his actions
during the allotted period of his ministry”
(Gibbon; The Decline & Fall of the Roman
Empire, V.4, P.366).
The
historical and spiritual factualness of
these words can be proven when one
understands the original words that were
spoken to the man Yeshua at his baptism in
the Jordan River -- when the Voice of God
stated: "Thou art
my Son, this day have I begotten thee"
-- which means that the historical man
Yeshua was a man who became the
Messiah/Christ when he overcame the Laws and
became Anointed by God. That the later
Church of Rome which existed as a puppet
under the pagan sun worshipping Emperor
Constantine, censored and changed the very
words of God spoken to mankind, is the
primary reason why the Christian world
remains shackled to the abyss of spiritual
ignorance to this very day. In the
article entitled
The Ten Words, it is demonstrated that
all the pre-Nicene Christian authors who
quoted the baptism sequence in their
Gospels, confirmed that prior to the fourth
century editing of the scriptures by Pagan
Rome, that the Gospels confirmed that Yeshua
was a holy man who became the Lord's
Anointed (Messiah/Christ) by fulfilling and
overcoming the Laws. Moreover, in
addition to the six (6) pre-Nicene Christian
authors who are cited in
The Ten Words, this fact is further
confirmed in the more ancient surviving
biblical texts that modern translators
continue to ignore to the spiritual pearl of
the Christian world today. That the
modern Church continues to reject the very
words of God spoken to mankind, in favor of
the censored and corrupted words of the
fourth century Emperor of Pagan Rome, is the
reason why the modern Church which has
caused itself to be spiritually flat-lined,
only possesses what Paul portrayed as the
"elementary"
doctrines that the Church Father Origen
defined as being
“...preached in the Churches …for the
simpleminded and for the ears of the common
crowd who are led on to live better lives by
their belief” (see Origen,
Contra Celsum).
These
10 words
demonstrate conclusively that the text of
the New Testament has been altered in order
to make it support the doctrines of the
Pagan Roman/Greek world. These
10 words
further demonstrate that the essence of the
teachings of Yeshua/Jesus has little in
common with the Christian religion today.
In fact, these 10
words are to Christianity, what the
10 Commandments
were to Judaism -- i.e., the foundation from
which every other aspect of the religion
springs forth!

The Ebionites Used The Original Scriptures
Most Important Scriptures Never Given To The
Church:
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."
It
can be easily understood why the Ebionite/Nazirene
disciples of Yeshua not only did not give
the Greek converts who edited and corrupted
the text of their scriptures, but withheld
the most spiritual and important to be
preserved in their care. Thus, Peter
writes to James:
"Knowing, my brother, your eager desire
after that which is for the advantage of us
all, I beg and beseech you not to
communicate to any one of the Gentiles the
books of my preachings which I sent to you,
nor to any one of our own tribe before
trial; but if any one has been proved and
found worthy, then to commit them to him,
after the manner in which Moses delivered
his books to the Seventy who succeeded to
his chair. Wherefore also the fruit of that
caution appears even till now. For his
countrymen keep the same rule of monarchy
and polity everywhere, being unable in any
way to think otherwise, or to be led out of
the way of the much-indicating Scriptures.
For, according to the rule delivered to
them,
they endeavor to correct the discordances of
the Scriptures, if any one, haply not
knowing the traditions, is confounded at the
various utterances of the prophets.
Wherefore they charge no one to teach,
unless he has first learned how the
Scriptures must be used. And thus they have
amongst
them one God,
one law, one hope."
(see Epistle Of Peter
And James)
The Gentiles not only
severely corrupted the copies of the
scriptures that they were given, but more
importantly what Peter states is true with
respect to their ignorance of the
"traditions"
within which the whole framework of the
scriptures are composed. And like the
Sadducees and Pharisees before them who
Yeshua/Jesus condemned for throwing away the
Key of Knowledge, they did not know the
manner in which
"...the Scriptures
must be used"
--
and this remains true even in our present
day.
Original Scriptures Written In Hebrew
Characters:
From a
New Covenant perspective, history records
the fact that the Gentiles were not even
given the more spiritual and genuine
scriptures of TheWay. When Edward Gibbon
writes: "But the
secret and authentic history has been
recorded in several copies of the Gospel
according to St. Matthew, which these
sectaries long preserved in the original
Hebrew, as the sole evidence of their faith"
-- he is speaking about the fact that the
original version of Matthew was written in
Hebrew Characters, rather than the Greek
text that our Bibles are translated from
today.
Of this Hebrew
original of Matthew, St. Jerome wrote to the
Bishops Chromatius and Heliodorus:
"A difficult work
is enjoined, since this translation has been
commanded me by your Felicities, which St.
Matthew himself, the Apostle and Evangelist,
did not wish to be openly written. For if it
had not been Secret, he would have added to
the evangel that which he gave forth was
his; but he made up this book sealed up in
the Hebrew characters, which he put forth
even in such a way that the book, written in
Hebrew letters and by the hand of himself,
might be possessed by the men most
religious, who also, in the course of time,
received it from those who preceded them.
But this very book they never gave to any
one to be transcribed, and its text they
related some one way and some another".
If
the genuine essence of the teachings of
Jesus was little more than belief in the
personage of Jesus -- and the purpose of the
scriptures was to enlighten man with regard
to the personage of Jesus so that they might
have faith and believe, which is the root
concept upon which the modern church is
founded -- then there would never have been
a reason for the disciple Matthew to author
a writing that was too secret to be placed
into the hands of either the secular Jewish
or Gentile converts. Once we truly begin
to understand what is being conveyed in a
statement such as this, then we would be
forced to re-evaluate everything that we
presently believe with regard to the very
design and purpose of New Covenant
teachings. Moreover, the whole foundational
concept of Martin Luther that everything in
the Gospel is simple and plain -- and meant
to be understood by the common believer --
is very much in error.
Additional information
regarding the original Hebrew Gospel of
Matthew is provided by Jerome in his work, O
Illustrious Men, on James the Lord's
brother:
"Further, the Hebrew itself (or original) is
preserved to this day in the library at
Caesarea which was collected with such care
by the martyr Pamphilus. I also had an
opportunity of copying it afforded me by the
Nazarenes who use the book, at Beroea, a
city of Syria".
Of the Hebrew original
of Matthew, Gibbon writes:
"the fact is attested
by a chain of fathers - Papias, Irenaeus,
Origen, Jerome, etc… But this Hebrew Gospel
of St. Matthew is most unaccountably lost;
and we may accuse the diligence or fidelity
of the primitive churches, who have
preferred the unauthorized version of some
nameless Greek".
Gibbon rightfully calls our copy of Matthew
the "unauthorized version of some
nameless Greek",
because the only true Gospel attributed to
Matthew is the original Hebrew version which
was never given to the Gentile Church, and
we no longer possess today.
In
like manner, there is sufficient evidence to
conclude that all of the original -- more
spiritual -- signatures of the gospels were
written in Hebrew. This fact is acknowledged
by Montague Rhodes James in his book, The
Apocryphal New Testament, when he wrote:
"Epiphanius
goes on to say that he had heard of Hebrew
Versions of John and Acts kept privately in
the treasuries (Geniza) at Tiberias".

Do You Know
The Original Religion Of Jesus?
The
Religion Of Roman Emperors: Do you
believe and follow the teachings of Jesus?
Or do you unknowingly filter what you think
you know of these teachings through the
dogma of Roman Emperors? And if the means
to prove the validity of your beliefs were
presented to you, what would you do? Would
you dismiss the what is presented? Or,
would you make the effort to prove the
Truth? The Apostle commands to:
“prove all things…”
(1 Thes 5:21 KJV). But would you?
In presenting
you, the reader with some background into
proving the Truth, let us first examine the
historical perspective: Sadly, the
historical facts have proven beyond any
doubt that
(1)
the modern Church has absolutely nothing in
common with the original teachings of Jesus;
(2)
the modern dogmatic Church does not at all
represent the purpose and objectives of the
original teachings;
(3)
contrary to the modern doctrinal positions,
it is easily demonstrated that the dogmatic
blank-check of salvation is easily proven to
be a fraud (see
TheLie.org ). How can I make such a
statement? Because once the facts are
known, what is practiced today is very much
The Religion Of Roman Emperors. To what
degree is this true? In a recent interview
with Christianity Today Brian McLaren made
the very informed statement that:
"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." So
disturbing, that the vast majority of modern
Christians would literally run Jesus out of
their Churches as a heretic -- calling him
an impostor -- and not even recognize the
purpose and objectives of the original
teachings of Jesus known as TheWay.
When biblical
scholar and Dead Sea Scroll expert A. Powell
Davies attempted to warn the Christian world
that
“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”
-- and another scholar and expert Prof. John
Allegro stated
that
the Dead Sea Scrolls provide 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”
-- what the biblical scholars confirmed is
the fact that the dogmatic doctrines and
theology of the Church has virtually nothing
in common with the core teachings and
objectives of the Original Gospel Message of
the Good News! But in view of the fact
that the original followers of Jesus were
all hunted down as heretics because they
refused to accept the religion of the
emperor, it should come as no surprise that
I make the statement that modern
Christianity has virtually nothing in common
with both the pre-Nicene Church (325CE), or
the original teachings of TheWay.
While there are
sincere and dedicated Christians who strive
daily to serve the Lord. Very often they
are the most giving and kindest people you
will encounter -- often doing good for the
sake of doing good. And while doing good
for the sake of doing good is Godly, the
problem is seen in the fact that sincerity
alone cannot fulfill the objective stated by
the Apostle Paul that each Christian should
move on towards spiritual maturity. Why?
Because they have been severely hindered by
the dogmatic opium of Roman Emperors that
has undermined the Gospel Message with the
suppression of important teachings, and the
corruption of the scriptures (see
BibleCorruption.com ). But this was
foreseen by the Apostle Paul when he wrote
that there would come a day in the near
future where the Church which portrays
itself as Christian will worship the
AntiChrist in place of God (see
The Church Of The AntiChrist). With
respect to the statement of Paul, the
Adam Clark Commentary writes:
“[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.
Or, as stated by John
Wesley, Paul was portraying
"...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).
From an
historical perspective, the perfect example
of the clergy of the third century is that
of Paul Of Samosata (see
Typical Orthodox Clergy), where Edward
Gibbon writes in his The Decline and Fall of
the Roman Empire that Paul
"...may serve to
illustrate the condition and character of
the times ...Paul
considered the service of the church as a
very lucrative profession ...Against those
who resisted his power, or refused to
flatter his vanity, the prelate of Antioch
was arrogant, rigid, and inexorable; but he
relaxed the discipline, and lavished the
treasures of the church on his dependent
clergy, who were permitted to imitate their
master in the gratification of every sensual
appetite. For Paul indulged himself very
freely in the pleasures of the table, and he
had received into the Episcopal palace two
young and beautiful women, as the constant
companions of his leisure moments".
Thus, Paul of Samosata who Gibbon states is
merely an example of the clergy who
portrayed themselves as Orthodox, corrupted
the teachings and the very spiritual
objectives of the Gospel -- i.e.,
"...Laymen were
told by the priests that only the priests
really knew what was necessary for salvation
and that laymen must accept the "mysteries"
on faith and on the priests' authority. This
kept the laity baffled by the nonsensical
"mysteries", confused, and dependent on the
priests for information about the
requirements for salvation."
While non-Roman
Catholics will respond to the above by
countering that they have rejected the dogma
of the priests, and they derive their
beliefs directly from the New Testament
Gospels. Yet, when the Church of
Constantine endeavored to make the teachings
of the Gospels in sync with fourth century
Roman Pagan thought and culture, to ignore
the facts with respect to the manner in
which the corrupters of the Word recreated
the message of the scriptures in order to
make it compatible to church doctrine, is to
make oneself disingenuous to the very Son of
God to whom we proclaim to be faithful to.
The truth and the facts to the matter is
very clearly expressed 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. To close our hearts and minds
to the facts, and ignore the truth, is from
a New Covenant perspective synonymous with
relinquishing any claim whatsoever with
respect to being a follower of Jesus.
When did the
corruption of the scriptures begin? There
is strong evidence which confirms the charge
that the Gospels were corrupted as soon as
they were given into the hands of many of
the Gentile Churches.
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).
What teachings
were removed from the Gospels? From a
spiritual perspective, the most
important. Moreover, when that segment of
the Church which portrayed itself as
Orthodox entered into a covenant with the
Emperor Constantine, they used the most
corrupted versions of the New Testament as a
starting point, and then further corrupted
the text in order to make it support the
tenets of Pagan Rome. But herein lies the
problem: If the Gospels were corrupted --
with many of the most important spiritual
teachings edited or removed in order to make
them support the tenets of Pagan Rome --
then how can the modern Christian even begin
to know the Truth? The answer is found in
the words: “Then
many of the Jewish leaders who heard him say
these things began believing him to be the
Messiah. Jesus said to them, 'You are truly
my disciples if you live as I tell you to,
and you will know the truth, and the truth
will set you free’” (John 8:30-32
TLB). And if we augment this statement
with the text of the that translation known
as The Message, we can begin to understand
the solution to the dilemma -- i.e.,
"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." The key
message is in the words that the seeker must
"live out what
[Jesus taught] ...then you will experience
for yourselves the truth". And
in this respect, the Law is that you can
never possess any greater Truth than you are
willing to live and manifest in your daily
life. So while it is true that the Gospel
was corrupted in order to make it support
the dogma of the Emperor Constantine and
Pagan Rome, it is also true that with the
restoral of the suppressed teachings and a
desire on the part of Christians to
"live out what
[Jesus taught] , there is the
promise of the Gospel that
"...you will
experience for yourselves the truth".
With the corrupting of the biblical texts
and the hunting down of the Spiritual
Christians as heretics because they refused
to adhere to the dogma of Pagan Rome, the 4th
century Church of Constantine put to death
the Spirit of the Church (see
The Corruption Of The Church). Yet,
it's Spiritual Castration which totally
alienated all generations of future
Christian believers from comprehending even
what was left of a corrupted and spiritually
sanitized New Testament (see
Bible Corruption), was implemented in
the 6th century. As an example
of how the Christian world was literally
forced to adhere to the dogma of the
emperors, when the doctrine of the
pre-existent soul was outlawed by the
Emperor Justinian, the Britannica confirms
that the emperor then forced his will upon
the Church when he
"...banished the pope to
Egypt
, and afterwards to an island, until he
accepted the Council, which he ultimately
did" (see
http://Ebionite.com/reincarnation.htm
). After relenting to the will of the
emperor, and finely accepting the decree of
the emperor after seven months of
imprisonment, it is reported that the pope
met with an untimely death before he could
even return to the Vatican. |
The Great Lie!!!
Published By The Synagogue of Satan
To Deceive and Seduce The Church Elect!
The
Ebionites were unjustly condemned as
heretics because it was said that they
were Torah Observant. Yet, they
rejected all animal sacrifice, were
strict vegetarians, and they rejected
the literal interpretation of the Law of
Moses. Quoting Epiphanius: The
Ebionites
"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). If the
early Church author is correct, and the
Ebionites blasphemed the majority of the
legislation of the literal Torah, then
how could they be portrayed as Torah
Observant? Unless, of course, they
observed the Spiritual Meaning of the
Torah -- as taught by Yeshua when he
stated that:
"Do not think that I came to abolish the
Law or the Prophets; I did not come to
abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say
to you, until heaven and earth pass
away, not the smallest letter or stroke
shall pass from the Law until all is
accomplished. Whoever then annuls one of
the least of these commandments, and
teaches others to do the same, shall be
called least in the kingdom of heaven;
but whoever keeps and teaches them, he
shall be called great in the kingdom of
heaven.…" (Matt 5:17-19).
Epiphanius then quotes the Gospel of the
Ebionites/Hebrews where Yeshua states:
"I have come to
destroy the sacrifices"
(ibid. 30.16.5). They were
Observant of the Law -- but this was the
Royal Law that is Spiritual. In
reference to the Ebionites, Epiphanius
states:
"They
are Jews. They use Gospels. Eating meat
is abominable to them. They consider
water to have sacred properties... they
often baptize themselves in water,
summer and winter, for
sanctification..." (Panarion,
19:28-30). So to say that the Ebionites
are Torah Observant in the manner of the
Pharisees, in view of the recorded fact
that they
"...blespheme most of the legislation
...They use Gospels. Eating meat is
abominable to them"
-- is a lie that was promoted by the
Gentile Church that was too heathen in
their mindset to comprehend the
spiritual nature of the teachings of
Yeshua and TheWay -- and the Gentile
Church condemned the Ebionites in order
to adopt pagan teachings, rituals and
religious observances which were common
to Pagan Rome.

There Are No Modern Christians
To be a sincere
and valid Christian, one must be properly
baptized -- which is not at all the case
with the modern Christian. The
following is an abstract take from the
article on the Original Meaning of the
Sacraments (see
Sacraments) that have been undermined
and replaced by modern worthless rituals.
When Paul wrote
and warned that whoever eats the bread or
drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy
manner will be guilty concerning the body
and blood of the Lord -- i.e.,
"Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks
this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner
will be guilty of the body and blood of the
Lord.
Let a person examine himself, then, and so
eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For
anyone who eats and drinks without
discerning the body eats and drinks judgment
on himself" (1 Cor 11:27-29) --
the question should be posed as to what
constitutes a lack of discernment? While a
more exacting translation of the above is
found in many of the older versions which
state: "eateth and
drinketh damnation to himself",
few Christians who have been taught the
modern man-made doctrines of the Church, are
able to understand how a baptized and
confirmed Christian can eat and drink
damnation and
judgment for their failure
to properly discern the Lord's body. In the
same way that Paul warned the Jews that no
rituals of the Law of Moses can bestow upon
them Salvation and Life, neither would empty
rhetoric that is not supported by a
transformative Godly mindset and life.
Thus, the Gospel message is Universal across
the spectrum of all religions:
"This people draws
near to me with their mouth, and honors me
with their lips; but their heart is far from
me. But in vain do they worship me,
Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of
men" (Matt 15:8-9). And if it is
true that God is a discerner of the hearts
and minds of men -- knowing whether they
desire to live in the Light of Truth, or the
doctrines and dogma of men -- then the
purity and validity of what we believe and
the spiritual code we live by, would be very
important to the modern believer.
In the parable
of TheCall to the Wedding Feast (Matt
22:1-14), the Kingdom is compared to a king
who celebrates the marriage of his son.
And when he sends forth his servants to
notify the invited guests that the banquette
table is prepared and ready,
"But they paid no
attention and went off — one to his field,
another to his business..." (Matt
22:5). And because they did not come --
and his servants were persecuted and even
killed -- "The king
was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed
those murderers and burned their city...".
And because those invited did not come, the
king said to his servants:
"Go to the street
corners and invite to the banquet anyone you
find.' So the servants went out into the
streets and gathered all the people they
could find, both good and bad, and the
wedding hall was filled with guests".
But then it is stated:
"But when the king came in to see the
guests, he noticed a man there who was not
wearing wedding clothes. 'Friend,' he asked,
'how did you get in here without wedding
clothes?' The man was speechless. Then the
king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and
foot, and throw him outside, into the
darkness, where there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.' For many are invited,
but few are chosen."
Thus, the
question that must be asked in light of the
Biblical experts who have raised the
question as to
"...the source and originality of Christian
doctrine”, is what
exactly constitutes the required
"wedding garment"? Which
also raises the question: While it is true
that Paul rejected the ritual observance of
the Jews, what was the requirements that
Paul did set forth for the congregation of
believers? To the faith-based Christians
Paul stated:
"Put to death,
therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly
nature..." (Col 3:5 NIV) --
stating that "Those
who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified
the sinful nature with its passions and
desires" (Gal 5:24 NIV). Therefore it can be concluded that from
Paul's perspective, living in accord with
the Gospel teachings requires repentance and
change -- and thus, the reality of the words
of Isaiah have enveloped the modern
faith-based believers:
"For they that lead this people cause
them to err; and they that are led of them
are destroyed" (Isa 9:6). And
when rightly understood, the resounding
truth is that the modern believers have
chosen tradition and dogma over the
Knowledge of the Original Teachings
associated with the New Covenant -- i.e.,
"My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge: because
thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also
reject thee..." (Hos 4:6).
While the
purpose -- the teachings -- as well as the
religious/spiritual objectives of the
original New Covenant Sacraments may trouble
the modern believer, it can also be
demonstrated that the believer is not held
accountable for the sin of ignorance -- and
that there is Grace and Forgiveness for
those who are truly faithful to the Lord.
Thus, the question is raised:
“But why do you
call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the
things which I say?” (Luke 6:46
NKJ). And, while many Christians today may
that the very words of the Gospel do not
apply to them:
“Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,'
will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only
he who does the will of my Father who is in
heaven” (Matt 7:21 NIV).
What is the will
of our Heavenly Father? How are we to know
the Truth? After all, if we have been
deceived by the doctrines of men, then what
are we supposed to do? A reality that is
not understood by the modern faith-based
believer is the fact that the truly faithful
Christian has the innate ability to Prove
the Truth -- as stated in the words of
Jesus: “If any of
you really determines to do God’s will, then
you will certainly know whether my teaching
is from God or is merely my own”
(John 7:17 TLB)
How will the
believer know the Truth? And that these
teachings are from God?
In
the Bible translation known as The Message,
the above reality of Jesus' words are
answered. In this translation when Jesus
turned to the Jews who had claimed to
believe in him and said: "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) -- which confirms the
original Gospel teachings set forth in the
parable of the Sower And the Seed, that only
those who live the Truth in word, thought,
desire and deed, can know the Truth. And
it is important to recognzie that Jesus
didn't say that they would believe the truth
-- or that they would discern what they
believed would be dogmatic truth out of the
scriptures or some book written by other men
-- but rather, Jesus conveyed to them that
if they follow in TheWay, that they "...will
experience for yourselves the truth, ...and
it is this SELF-EXPERIENCED TRUTH
that...will free you" from the
error and ignorance that consumes the people
of this world.
The Gospel
teachings of the New Covenant known as
TheWay, has specific Sacraments -- and the
spiritual significance of these sacraments
are not at all understood today. In the
parable of TheCall to the Wedding Feast,
what is portrayed as the required
"wedding garment" in
the parable is in fact the sacrament of
baptism. But the original teachings on
baptism is very different than what is
practiced today. In the Homilies of
Clement, the Apostle Peter is quoted as
stating: "He has
commanded us to go forth to preach, and to
invite you to the supper of the heavenly
King, which the Father hath prepared for the
marriage of His Son, and that we should give
you wedding garments, that is, the grace of
baptism; which whosoever obtains, as a
spotless robe with which he is to enter to
the supper of the King, ought to beware that
it be not in any part of it stained with
sin, and so he be rejected as unworthy and
reprobate." Contrary to the
modern usage of the sacrament of baptism,
according to Peter, once the "wedding
garment" is received, if the
person then willfully sins, then the wedding
garment is stained, and there can be no
further repentance -- i.e., you "...ought
to beware that it be not in any part of it
stained with sin, and so he be rejected as
unworthy and reprobate."
The most popular
and accepted scripture over the first three
centuries was the Shepherd of Hermas (see
Shepherd), which states that once one
receives the sacrament of baptism which is
the "wedding
garment", there is only one
opportunity for repentance from any future
sins -- i.e., "For
he that hath received remission of sins
ought no longer to sin, but to dwell in
purity. ...But I say unto you', saith he,
`if after this great and holy calling any
one, being tempted of the devil, shall
commit sin, he hath only one (opportunity
of) repentance." While this
original teaching will be rejected by the
modern dogmatic Church who uses the
Jesus-god of Constantine as an exemption
from being required to live in accord with
the Commandments and the Original Gospel
Teachings, this statement in the Shepherd of
Hermas is in fact confirmed by Paul in the
warning: "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 sin deliberately after receiving the
knowledge of the truth, there no longer
remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful
prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire
which will consume the adversaries." (Heb
6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV). And what this means
is that the religion of Jesus in its
original form was one of spiritual
transformation -- and those who willfully
sin after coming to the knowledge of Christ
-- being initially clothed in the "wedding
garment" of Spiritual Baptism --
crucify the Son of God afresh when they then
willfully sin -- and in the warning of
Paul, "...there no
longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a
fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of
fire which will consume the adversaries." This
is why Paul stated with respect to those who
call themselves Christian, and continue to
live a sinful life: "But
if, while we seek to be justified by Christ,
we ourselves also are found sinners, is
therefore Christ the minister of sin? God
forbid. For if I build again the things
which I destroyed, I make myself a
transgressor" (Gal 2:17-18 KJV).
Which confirms the alternate ending of the
Gospel of Mark which reads: "This
Age of lawlessness and unbelieving lies
under the sway of Satan, who will not allow
what lies under the unclean spirits to
understand the truth and power of God;
therefore, they said to Christ, reveal your
righteousness now. Christ answered them, The
term of years for Satan's power has now
expired, but other terrors are at hand. I
was delivered to death on behalf of
sinners, that they might return to the truth
and sin no more, that they might inherit
that glory of righteousness which is
spiritual and imperishable in heaven" (Moffatt,
quoting Gospel Of Mark in Codex W - Also
quoted by St. Jerome as being the authentic
ending of the Gospel of Mark). Thus,
Jesus warned those who would call upon the
Lord and expect to have earned salvation: “But
why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not
do the things which I say?” (Luke
6:46 NKJ). And, “Not
everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will
enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who
does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matt
7:21 NIV). That the very people who with
their lips proclaim themselves to believe,
continue to lie "...under
the sway of Satan" -- or, in the
words of John: "Little
children, let no one deceive you. He who
practices righteousness is righteous, just
as He is righteous. He who sins is of the
devil, for the devil has sinned from the
beginning" (1 John 3:7-8 NKJV).
The sincere
Christian will of course pose the question:
Is the above teaching on baptism valid and
correct? Is the Christian held accountable
for their willful sins after baptism? On
this very subject the Apostle Peter makes
the profound statement:
"If they have
escaped the corruption of the world by
knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and
are again entangled in it and overcome,
they are
worse off at the end than they were at the
beginning. It
would have been better for them not to have
known the way of righteousness, than to have
known it and then to turn their backs on the
sacred command that was passed on to them.
Of them the proverbs are true: A dog returns
to its vomit, and, A sow that is washed goes
back to her wallowing in the mud"
(2 Pet 2:20-22 NIV). Where the modern
Church promotes the doctrine that they are
saved by Grace regardless of the manner in
which they live their lives, Peter not only
states that this doctrine is in grave error,
but correctly states that:
"It would have been better for them not to
have known the way of righteousness, than to
have known it and then to turn their backs
on the sacred command that was passed on to
them." Every Christian should
ask themselves:
How can those who have never known the
teachings of Christ, be better off than
those who having heard and been baptized
into TheWay, and are complacent towards
those teachings? It would appear that
Peter is stating that those who had never
heard the Gospel message -- and had
themselves committed much sin -- will in the
hereafter inherit a more lofty place in the
Kingdom than the complacent believers.
Christians
promote the doctrine that only those who
believe can be saved -- and here Peter is
stating that the opposite is true -- and
that those people who claim to believe, and
fall back to their old ways where they
embrace the culture and ways of this world,
will in fact be worse off after they have
come to believe, than before they began to
believe. Moreover, the shepherds and blind
guides that Peter is making reference to,
are those who preach the modern doctrine of
using the Gospel as a license to dwell in
perpetual sin that is promoted in churches
today -- i.e., "This is especially true of those who follow
the corrupt desire of the sinful nature..."
(2 Peter 2:10 NIV). Because these false
shepherds even if they are sincere, fail to
understand the reality of what Jesus meant
when he used the terms Whole, and Complete,
they preach the "...promise [of] freedom [in their doctrine
of salvation by faith and grace alone],
while they themselves are slaves of
depravity" In what can only be
in total opposition to what Christians today
believe, Peter states that it would have
been better for the entry-level believers to
have never heard of the Gospel, than to have
heard, and then fall prey to the false
shepherds who promise them freedom, but
blindly lead the believers into the
proverbial ditch. And thus, there is simply
no means for the modern Christian who
believes the doctrines of the Church, to
even begin to understand what Peter is
making reference to.
Baptism As A
Divine Marriage: True Spiritual
Baptism is a Divinely Consecrated
Union/Marriage with the Indwelling Logos/Son
of God. And this is especially seen in the
Homilies of Clement where Peter conveys to
the believer that it is a sin to seek out
any other teacher than the True Prophet --
as seen in the words:
"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,
and who has sent us twelve apostles to
preach the word; if any one think otherwise
than worthily of the substance of the
Godhead, which excels all things; — these
are the things which even fatally pollute
the garment of baptism. But the things which
pollute it in actions are these: murders,
adulteries, hatreds, avarice, evil
ambition..." And in the same way
that the True Prophet can only be approached
through the wearing of an unspotted
"wedding garment"
-- and the True Prophet must be sought with
a pure heart and the living of a Consecrated
Life in TheWay -- as stated in the Second
Commandment of the Didache:
"And the second
commandment of the Teaching; You shall not
commit murder, you shall not commit
adultery, you shall not commit pederasty,
you shall not commit fornication, you shall
not steal, you shall not practice magic, you
shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not
murder a child by abortion nor kill that
which is born. You shall not covet the
things of your neighbor, you shall not
swear, you shall not bear false witness, you
shall not speak evil, you shall bear no
grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor
double-tongued, for to be double-tongued is
a snare of death. Your speech shall not be
false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You
shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a
hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty.
You shall not take evil counsel against your
neighbor. You shall not hate any man; but
some you shall reprove, and concerning some
you shall pray, and some you shall love more
than your own life."
When Prof. John
Allegro wrote that the findings of the Dead
Sea Scrolls “...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” -- as
demonstrated in the above, the modern Church
has absolutely nothing in common with the
original teachings of TheWay -- and the
doctrines of the Church have so
disenfranchised the community of believers,
that it can be factually stated that there
are no Christians today. Further, because of
their spiritual adultery -- learning about
Christ from counterfeit teachers, priests
and prophets -- which has enslaved them in a
self-imposed Diaspora.
When Jesus condemned going to the teachers
of this world -- and stated to his disciples
that there was only One Teacher -- this
Inner Teacher was called the True Prophet
(see
True Prophet) by his Ebionite Nazirene
Disciples. Thus, this reality is especially
demonstrated in the Recognitions of Clement,
where St. Clement quotes the teachings of
the Apostle Peter. In chapter 59, under the
heading of The True Prophet, Clement quotes
Peter and writes: “But I would not have you think, that in
saying this I take away the power of judging
concerning things; but I give counsel that
no one walk through devious places, and rush
into errors without end. 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”.
What does Peter
say to us in these words? That the True
Prophet “is within
the mind of every one of us”.
This concept is Spiritual -- and is the
foundation of the Living Church that the
Lord inaugurated. But unless you live the
Consecrated Life as a Disciple of TheWay --
and seek the Divine Manna of the Inner
Kingdom -- you cannot be taught by the True
Prophet, and receive the Gnosis or Divine
Manna/Knowledge of the Kingdom. And in the
same writing these rather profound words are
stated that would be totally rejected by the
teachers, philosophers and scholars of this
world, is the warning:
“Hence, O beloved
Clement", proclaims Peter,
“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”. And even
more profound is the warning that it is
impossible for carnal man in his organic
state of mind, to perceive and understand
the true meaning of the scriptures -- i.e.,
in the words of Peter:
"...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". Which means that
those who proclaim they know Jesus, have all
been greatly deceived -- and all the
knowledge that people think they have, is
pseudo-knowledge from the perspective of
True Gnosis/Divine Manna of the Kingdom. And
since the vast majority of people reject the
necessary life and mindset that enables them
to be taught directly by the True Prophet,
they dwell in this world under the illusion
of knowledge. In order to learn from the
True Prophet, you must become the
"good ground"
in the parable of the Sower and the Seed
(see Sower And The Seed ) -- transform your
body and mind into the
Final Temple -- and you must live and
manifest the Truth that you have received in
word, thought, desire and deed. And it was
for this reason that Jesus said that only
the very few will enter into Life (
http://GateOfEden.com ).
From the perspective of the sin that defiles
the necessary wedding garment -- which sin
causes the person to be cast out into the
"outer darkness"
of mind and being -- is the Spiritual
Adultery of seeking teachers in this world
-- instead of living the necessary
Consecrated Life in TheWay that enables the
seeker to enter into and sustain a Spiritual
Marriage with the Son of God that dwells at
the core essence of our being.

Important
Removed And Suppressed Teaching
The
Pre-existent Soul
The Gospels
are based upon the Law of God that Paul
portrayed in the words:
“Do not be
deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps
what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV).
Which means that your own past actions have
orchestrated the life you are presently
living. And while this may
appear strange to the modern Christian, it
is easily proven to be a suppressed truth
that was forcefully removed from Gospel
teachings. And this fact is
easily proven beyond any doubt whatsoever,
on the website
http://ChristianReincarnation.org .
The Truth
Cannot Be Suppressed: Recall of the
previous lives that the soul (see
http://SoulSelf.org ) of a person has
lived, comes to a seeker of Truth in the
manner that leaves and fruit grows on a
healthy tree. As the soul who
lived as the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus, Allan
Cronshaw (see Who Is Allan Cronshaw)
returned to this world countless times as a
shepherd and guide to the seekers of TheWay.
One of his spiritual abilities has been to
be able to open the door for sincere seekers
to not only see the previous lives their
soul has lived, but also to bring the seeker
up into the presence of their higher soul
and true-self, who is a Being of Light (see
http://BeingOfLight.com ).
And when Allan recently visited with the
Ebionite Nazirene Spiritual Congregation in
South Africa, he was able to help the
seekers to explore some of the previous
lives their soul-self has lived -- which has
been presented in the below. In the
same way that in the Gospel account of
Yeshua we can observe where he opened their
minds to the inner spiritual meaning of the
scriptures that natural organic man is
inherently blind to -- i.e.,
"Then opened He
their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures" (Luke
24:45) -- Allan Cronshaw opened the
minds of some of the members of the South
African Congregation of Ebionites to
remember when they knew the historical man
Yeshua, and how the Church of Constantine
hunted down the Spiritual Christians who
refused to accept the religion of the
emperor, as heretics -- putting to death and
silencing all those who embraced the
original teachings of Yeshua and TheWay.

The Brother Of
Yeshua/Jesus:
2000 years
ago I lived as
Jacob who many
call James, and
I was known as
the Brother of
Yeshua and the
first leader of
the New Covenant
movement of
TheWay which, in
its corrupted
form, is today
known as
Christianity. I
was sent back
into the world
to restore the
teachings of my
brother Yeshua
to their
original
spiritual
essence, and to
guide you in
TheWay that is
"narrow"
so you will be
able to open the
"strait gate" within
you and enter
the Kingdom that
Yeshua declared
must be attained
through the
second stage of
(non-physical)
birth. |

The Ebionite
HomePage:
The Ebionites
were the people
who walked daily
with the man
Jesus -- learned
from him -- as
he guided them
into the Inner
Kingdom and into
the Presence of
the True Prophet
(aka Logos/Son
of God). If the
scriptures had
not been
corrupted, the
would
demonstrate that
the Ebionites
were correct in
their assertion
that the
historical man
Jesus was a holy
man who became
At-One with the
Indwelling
Logos/Son of God
by fulfilling
the Law within
himself. Which
is the eventual
destiny of all
the prodigal
sons and
daughters of our
Heavenly
Father. If you
call yourself a
Christian, Jew,
Messianic
believer,
Evyonim,
Nazarene or
Muslim, then it
is imperative
that you learn
of the Ebionites
who are True
Spiritual Israel
-- They are the
Poor Ones
to the ways and
thinking of this
world -- The
Ebionites were
the Israelites
of the Nazirene
Vow They
are/were the
Genuine
Disciples of
Yeshua/Jesus who
are in the world
and not of it! |

An Inconvenient
Truth:
There are as
many
interpretations
and opinions of
the meaning of
the scriptures,
as there are
readers. What
is
ultra-important
is the meaning
impressed upon
the scriptures
by the Original
Authors. And
the article An
Inconvenient
Truth is written
by the Author of
the Original
Core Gospel --
from which all
other Gospels
sprang from.
One
of the most
important
articles that
have been
written and
exist in our
present time --
in spite of
those who
attempt to
censor and
inhibit the
modern seeker
from having
access to the
Truth and TheWay.
Written by an
Original Author
of the Gospels,
this article
reveals what
modern
authorities will
at any cost,
censor and
suppress.
Why? Because
as counterfeit
shepherds, they
are carnal and
totally
earth-bound in
their
thinking.
Being carnal and
spiritually
disenfranchised,
they don't at
all understand
-- or possess
the knowledge of
-- the Great
Spiritual Truths
revealed in this
article. |

The Tree Of Life
- Divine
Marriage:
After eating
the forbidden
fruit of the
Tree of Duality
(aka Tree Of
Knowledge Of
Good And Evil),
the statement
was made in the
allegorical
account of
Genesis:
"The man has now
become like one
of us, knowing
good and evil.
He must not be
allowed to reach
out his hand and
take also from
the tree of life
and eat, and
live forever"
(Gen 3:22-23).
Thus, the
objective of
life is to
become nourished
by the fruit of
the Tree of Life
-- i.e.,
"'He who has an
ear, let him
hear what the
Spirit says to
the churches. To
him who
overcomes, I
will grant to
eat of the tree
of life which is
in the Paradise
of God'"
(Rev 2:7). And
respecting the
Tree of Life it
is written:
"Then he showed
me a river of
the water of
life, clear as
crystal, coming
from the throne
of God and of
the Lamb, in the
middle of its
street. On
either side of
the river was
the tree of
life, bearing
twelve kinds of
fruit, yielding
its fruit every
month; and the
leaves of the
tree were for
the healing of
the nations"
(Rev 22:1-2).
With the final
statement
pertaining to
the eating of
the fruit of the
Tree of Life in
order to gain
entrance to what
is often
portrayed as
Spiritual
Jerusalem in the
words:
"Blessed are
those who wash
their robes, so
that they may
have the right
to the tree of
life and that
they may enter
the city by the
gates"
(Rev 22:14). The
problem is seen
in the fact that
after
suppressing the
higher spiritual
knowledge of
Jesus and TheWay,
modern seekers
have no idea
what the Tree of
Life is, or how
to be nourished
by its fruit.
The Primary
Objective of
Life is to be
nourished by the
Fruit of the
Sacred Tree Of
Life. But few
seekers have any
understanding of
how this
nourishment must
be brought about
and
accomplished.

The Outer
Darkness And
Plato's Cave Of
Illusions:
Jesus
taught that
those who fail
to put on the
Wedding Garment
and come to
TheCall of the
Wedding Feast,
are thrown into
what the Gospel
portrays as the
"outer
darkness"
-- which, when
rightly
understood,
parallels that
of the analogy
of Plato's Cave
of Illusions --
and because our
modern culture
possesses
absolutely no
understanding of
the
implications, it
can be stated
that modern man
dwells in abject
ignorance and
intellectual
poverty.
Why? Because
we fail to
understand the
great wisdom in
the statement in
the
Gospel of Thomas:
(5) Jesus said,
"Recognize what
is in your
sight, and that
which is hidden
from you will
become plain to
you..."
And in our
failure to
understand the
nature and
reality of what
we see, we
remain drowning
in a sea of
confusion. |

The Suppressed
Teachings On
Children:
"And calling
to him a child,
he put him in
the midst of
them, and said, Truly,
I say to you,
unless you turn
and become like
children, you
will never enter
the kingdom of
heaven"
(Mat 18: 2-3).
Because the
important
teachings on
children were
removed from the
Gospels, it
remains
virtually
impossible for
the modern
believer to gain
entrance into
the Inner
Kingdom.
Jesus pays
particular
attention and
importance to
Children who are
often referred
to as the
"little ones". Unless
Christians
"turn about",
and become as a
little child,
they cannot
enter into the
kingdom of
heaven (Mt 18:3;
19:14). But
this provokes
the question:
What does it
mean to
"turn about",
and become as a
child?
Virtually no
modern Christian
would be able to
answer this
question
today. Why?
Not only has the
Gospels been
corrupted, but
the suppression
of the teachings
on the children
can be proven by
any Christian,
using any
version of the
scriptures. If
it is true that
the teachings on
the children
were corrupted
and suppressed,
then how many
other important
teachings also
suppressed?
Will the modern
Christian be
held accountable
for the
teachings in the
Gospels which
were altered
from their
original context
-- and even
removed -- in
order to make
the scriptures
support the
man-made dogma
of Pagan Rome?
And if this is
true -- that the
Gospels were
corrupted by the
later Church in
order to make
them support the
man-made dogma
of the Church --
will the modern
Christian be
held accountable
for the
requirement set
forth by Jesus
in the original
teachings? |

Original Gospel
Sacraments:
The
Sacraments that
are practiced
and observed in
the Christian
Churches today
have very little
in common with
the Original
Sacraments
instituted by
Jesus. Without
putting on the
required Wedding
Garment, and
being nourished
by the Eucharist
of the Divine
Manna that can
only be imparted
to the
seeker/disciple
by and in the
direct Spiritual
Presence of the
Son of God while
in the Kingdom,
the believer
will continue to
dwell in what
Jesus portrayed
as the Far
Country and
Outer Darkness
of Mind and
Being -- unable
to comprehend
the Higher
Mysteries of the
Kingdom -- and
unable to attain
the subsequent
stage of Birth
that enables the
seeker/disciple
to gain entrance
into the
Kingdom, and
inherit the
Promise of
Entering into
Life. |

The Gospel
teachings of
Jesus which were
originally known
as the teachings
of TheWay (The
Way), have
within itself
all levels from
entry-level to a
high and mature
expression of
spirituality.
And while the
entry-level is
based upon faith
and belief, the
higher levels of
spiritual
maturity embody
a Wholistic
mindset and
lifestyle
necessary to
transform the
body-mind into a
Living Temple
that enables the
Spiritual
Christian to
fully embrace
the Pattern of
the Christ, by
symbolically
picking up their
own cross and
travailing in
TheWay in
Imitation of the
man Jesus.
Thus, while the
entry-level
Christian has
few requirements
other than faith
and belief, the
more Advanced
Spiritual
Christian has
many
requirements
that enables
him/her to
fulfill the
adage to be in
the world and
not of it.
The
Original
teachings of
Jesus and TheWay
was a system of
Spiritual
Advancement that
brought about
Wholeness.

Know Thyself:
Jesus declared
in the Gospel of
Thomas:
"...But if
you will not
know yourselves,
you dwell in
poverty and it
is you who are
that poverty".
It is for this
reason that the
second-century
Church Father
Clement of
Alexandria said
that it is
“…the greatest
of all lessons
to know one's
self. For if
one knows
himself, he will
know God; and
knowing God, he
will be made
like God… and
that man becomes
God, since God
so wills”.
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.

Reincarnation,
The Key To
Christianity:
The only
eyewitness
account written
by an Elder in
the original
Ebionite
Community
portraying the
Death of
Christianity --
The Religion of
Jesus and the
Original
Teachings of
TheWay.
Because the
Emperor of Rome
hunted down and
murdered the
Original
Spiritual
Christians and
all those who
opposed the
corruption of
the teachings of
Jesus and TheWay,
the Christian
world itself has
been cast into a
Spiritual
Diaspora from
which it has yet
to emerge.

 The
Real
Islam |
The Real Islam:
There are many
who promote the
need for a
Reformation in
Islam -- but the
term Reformation
is not at all
the problem.
When rightly
understood, what
is needed is a
Restoral by way
of Rebirth of
the Original
Teachings of
Islam. And in
this we can see
the problem in
that, in order
to bring about a
Restoral and
Rebirth, there
must be a number
of True
Spiritual
Muslims working
together to
bring this
Restoration
about.
Therefore, the
only solution to
what can be
portrayed as
Radical Islam,
is other Muslims
who are willing
to seek the
Truth and
restore the
religion of
Islam to its
original purpose
and objectives
by leading
others into what
can be rightly
portrayed as
Spiritual
Mecca. Thus,
the Qur'an
states:
"Glory to
(Allah) Who did
take His Servant
for a Journey by
night from the
Sacred Mosque to
the Farthest
Mosque (Masjid
al-Aqsa), whose
precincts We did
bless, in order
that We might
show him some of
Our Signs: for
He is the One
Who heareth and
seeth (all
things)"
(S. 17:1). But
because the
carnal Muslims
fail to
understand that
what is
presented is a
Spiritual
Journey within
-- i.e., The
True Jihad --
and the Farthest
or Distant
Mosque can only
be entered via
the journey to
Spiritual Mecca
-- an Inward
Spiritual
Journey to the
Core of the
believers own
mind and being
-- then the
whole of Islam
will remain
carnal and
spiritually
defiled until a
body of Genuine
Muslims arise
within Islam
itself.
Further, because
it is within the
ability of all
genuine Muslims
to acquire the
Truth of all
Truths --
learning
directly from
the True Prophet
-- all those who
enlist under the
banner of Islam
are responsible
for the evil
committed in the
Name of Allah. |

The Church Of
The AntiChrist:
The Apostle Paul
predicted that
the Church which
portrays itself
as Christian,
will install the
Anti-Christ as
the leader of
the Church, and
the Christian
world will
worship Satan in
place of God.
While the
Christian world
dwells under the
deceptive belief
that they freed
themselves from
the paganism of
Rome in the
Reformation, the
leaders of the
Reformation did
not at all
understand the
reality of a
purely Spiritual
Religion where
the objective
was to be be in
the world and
not of it --
using the
scriptures as
the Key of
Knowledge to
gain entrance
into the Kingdom
while still in
the body-vessel
-- in many
respects the
reactionary
dogma contrived
by Martin Luther
and the other
leaders of the
Reformation had
the effect of
further
imprisoning the
Church in the
abyss of abject
carnal
ignorance.

The Bible itself
openly rejects
and condemns the
tenets of belief
promoted by the
Church. What
is demonstrated
is the fact that
the vast
majority of
Christians
neither
understand the
Bible -- and
those who do
read it, do so
through the
filter of their
dogma and
beliefs. re
are 10
words that
were altered
from their
original context
in the New
Testament that
have the power
to re-establish
the essence of
the teachings of
Yeshua which was
known as TheWay.
These 10
words demonstrate
conclusively
that the text of
the New
Testament has
been altered and
corrupted in
order to make it
support the
doctrines of the
Pagan
Roman/Greek
world. These 10
words further
demonstrate that
the essence of
the teachings of
Yeshua has
little in common
with the
Christian
religion
today. In
fact, these 10
wordsare
to Christianity
what the 10
Commandments were
to Judaism --
i.e., the
foundation from
which every
other aspect of
the religion
springs forth!
These 10
words prove
the Ebionites
correct, and
modern
Christianity
which is founded
upon 4th century
Roman doctrines
to be in error.
These 10
words prove
that without a
return to the
essence of
Yeshua's
original
teachings,
modern Christians
are neither
saved, nor do
they have the
salvation they
erroneously
believe they
do. |
|
|
|
 |
The Consecrated
Life is
the Path that
leads to
Wholeness -- and
this Wholeness
can only be
brought about
when the
teachings of
Yeshua/Jesus and
TheWay becomes a
mindset and
lifestyle that
develops the
person and
brings them to
Completion. In
the parable of
the prodigal
son, the
experiences in
what is
portrayed as the
Far Country
develops the son
-- enables him
to prevail and
to rule over
himself -- and
it is this state
of Completion
within himself
that permits him
to return to the
Edenic Kingdom
of the Father.
Each and every
person is
presently
evolving to this
state of
Completion and
Wholeness in the
Omega of
Perfection, that
will permit them
to return to
their True
Source of Being. |

The Key Of
Knowledge: When
Jesus condemned
the leaders of
the Jews as
blind guides, it
was because they
threw away the
Key Of
Knowledge. In
the fourth
century of our
Common Era, the
Church of Rome
in like manner
threw away the
Key Of Knowledge
-- causing the
Christian world
to become lost
and wandering in
what Jesus
portrayed as the "outer
darkness" of
Mind and Being.

The Light Of
Yeshua -- The
Messianic
Nazirene
Disciple of
TheWay:
While many
teach that
believers are
saved by faith,
the journey of
the disciple of
Yeshua is one of
absolute
dedication to
The Way. The
disciple who
becomes a
brother to
Yeshua must live
as he lived, and
become a
Nazirene who is
consecrated and
wholly set apart
as they walk the
Narrow Way,
enter into the
Kingdom through
the Strait Gate,
and learn
directly from
the L-rd -- the
One Rabbi and
Teacher of the
Mysteries of
G-d. |

Divine
Strategery: How
God Fools
Mankind -
Keeping Him
Ignorant Of The
Truth:
Strategery has
become
synonymous with
when what is
portrayed as
simple,
simpleminded, or
even
self-evident, is
able to dupe and
thwart an
opposing force
that perceives
itself to be
either superior,
or to suppose
they know the
answers.
Divine
Strategery is
how God fools
all the
religious
leaders of this
world who think
they
doctrinally
know God -- all
the would-be
teachers and
philosophers of
this world who
think they
Know Truth
-- all the
Atheists and
those who
criticize and
denounce the
existence of God
by virtue of
their limited
perception and
understanding --
and all the
people in this
world who think
they understand
the purpose of
life and the
world in which
we presently
dwell. As
prodigal sons
and daughters of
our Heavenly
Father, if the
people in this
life knew the
answers, then
the learning
experience of
God's
SchoolHouse
of this world
would not
effectively
evolve us to
become true
Brothers and
Sisters of our
Elder Brother
Yeshua/Jesus.
Therefore, in
order to insure
that each of us
is immersed in
the necessary
learning
experience that
this life
offers, all
people are
equally fooled
into thinking
they know, in
order for them
to be
manipulated into
embracing a
higher agenda
that is beyond
their ability to
even imagine.
Thus, Divine
Strategery!!!

Reincarnation -
The Key To
Christianity And
The The
Pre-Existent
Soul of Mankind:
Jesus taught the
reality of the
pre-existent
soul that
evolves to
perfection over
the course of
many lifetimes.
The Church
adheres to the
doctrine and
theology of a
Circus
Prostitute and a
Roman Emperor
who maintained
absolute control
over what
Christians were
permitted to
believe!
Christians
continue to
cling to the
theology of this
Circus
Prostitute today
- rejecting the
teachings of
Jesus, while
adhering to the
doctrines of
Pagan Rome. The
mass confusion
of an
uncountable
number of sects
today, is the
direct result of
the void which
was brought
about when this
foundational
concept was
removed from
both the Bible,
as well as
Christian
doctrine. The
doctrinal
quagmire which
was brought
about with the
removal of this
foundational
teaching,
obstructs
Christians
growth and
maturity beyond
the entry-level
simple faith.
Because they
adhere to the
corrupted
doctrines of
men, modern
Christians can't
inherit the
Biblical Promise
of entering the
Kingdom and
Life.

It was said of
the Church
Father Origen by
St. Gregory of
Nyssa that he
was
“the prince
of Christian
learning in the
Third Century”
-- and the
Encyclopedia
Britannica calls
him
“…the most
prominent of all
the church
fathers”.
But how did he
become the man
that St. Jerome
considered to be
“the greatest
teacher of the
Church after the
Apostles”?
According to the
soul who lived
as Origen, he
had previously
lived as the
disciple and
scribe of Jacob
who people call
James, who was
the Brother of
Jesus. And
from that life
with Jacob, he
learned to write
scriptures in
Hebrew
Characters, and
he worked on the
original source
scriptures which
has since come
to be called the
New Testament
scriptures of
the Bible. On
his web site,
Emmanuel
Pohorecki
reveals not only
the accounts of
the many
lifetimes that
he has lived,
but also his own
journey into the
presence of his
soul-self --
i.e., his true
self who is the
Being of
Light. And
once again
Emmanuel has
demonstrated
that you don't
need to
physically die
to communicate
with, and enter
into the
presence of your
soul-self who is
the Being of
Light in the
Near Death
Experience.
And in his soon
to be completed
article on the
Journey of the
Soul and Visions
from his Higher
Self, he will
write about what
his soul-self
has taught him
while in the
Realm of
Souls.
Emmanuel
provides other
important
insights in
man's higher
reality with his
account of his
life with Fr.
Francis, as a
Native American,
and as one of
the
Constitutional
Founding Fathers
of the United
States.

The Long
Island Mystic
and Nazirene
Disciple of
TheWay:
The
Organizational
HomePage of The
Nazirene -- the
Long Island
Mystic,
Evangelical
Minister, and
Prophet of
TheWay -- who
God bestowed
upon him the
gift of the
recall of his
previous life as
a Disciple and
Brother of
Messiah/Christ
-- and thus has
re-entered this
world at the
present time in
order to restore
the Spiritual
Essence and
Teachings of his
Master, Yeshua/Jesus.
The Kingdom is
within! And we
must sojourn the
narrow path of
TheWay, enter
the "strait
gate" to the
Inner Spiritual
Temple, while
still alive in
the physical
body. Thus,
modern
Christians have
misunderstood
the words of
Yeshua -- he
never said that
we must
physically die
to enter the
Edenic Kingdom
of Origination
-- but rather,
we must die to
the culture,
mindset and ways
of this world in
order to enter
the Kingdom! |

Being Of
Light:
Who are we?
What are we?
From where have
we come? What

To the demise of
those who read
these words,
only a handful
of people today
can answer these
all-important
crucial
questions
correctly! The
rest dwell under
the cloud of
unknowing -- and
if you think you
are the person
whose reflection
you see in the
mirror, then you
are a stranger
to your true
self and have
made yourself
part of the
illusion of this
world. With
great wisdom
Yeshua/Jesus is
quoted in The
Books of the
Savior, also
known as Pistis
Sophia
(Faith-Wisdom):
"Do not cease
seeking day or
night, and do
not let
yourselves relax
until you have
found all the
Mysteries of the
Kingdom of
Light, which
will purify you
and make you
into Pure Light
and lead you
into the Kingdom
of Light." |

Gospel Of Light:
What did the

of Yeshua? You
will be
astonished when
you read a
surviving text
of The Gospel of
the Nazirenes
which was hidden
away from the
corrupters of
the Roman
Church. Are you
ready for a
truly

experience? |

The Orthodox
Corruption of
the Scriptures: Was
the Bible
rewritten? Prof.
Nestle writes: "Learned
men, so called
Correctores
were, following
the church
meeting at Nicea
325 AD, selected
by the church
authorities to
scrutinize the
sacred texts and
rewrite them in
order to correct
their meaning in
accordance with
the views which
the church had
just
sanctioned." To
ignore the facts
is to alienate
oneself from the
Living Word of
God |

What Happened To
Zackarias?
Because the
mainstream of
Christians can't
even begin to
answer the
question as to
what happened to
Zackarias? It
remains
impossible for
them to
understand the
true reality of
the scriptures
-- or why the
religion of the
pre-Nicene
Church Fathers
was very
different than
the dogma
preached from
the pulpits
today. And
while the
missing account
of Zackarias can
be easily proven
today, the fact
that the modern
Christians
ignores the
facts and the
truth has had
the effect of
disenfranchising
them from the
Kingdom they
have been
commanded to
seek out.

Things
Christians Never
Tell Jews About
The New
Testament:
Many Jews have
been misinformed
when they have
been warned by
Christians that
if they don't
believe and come
to Jesus, they
will not inherit
salvation and
eternal life.
Part of this is
an error of
ignorance --
i.e., because
their Christian
forefathers were
adulterous, and
defiled their
own covenant
with the Lord in
the manner of
the Jews when
they worshiped
other gods, they
have yet to
recover from
their spiritual
temple being
plundered and
ravished by the
unclean and dark
forces of this
world. They
therefore have
lost their own
way, and no
longer can come
into the
Presence of the
Lord.
The Facts:
Both Christians
and the Jews
they have
persecuted,
condemned, and
even murdered
over the past
two thousand
years will be
shocked by what
they will read
herein! What
they will learn
is a fact that
has long
confused many
sincere students
of the New
Testament
scriptures --
scriptures which
are very Jewish
in origin -- and
because of their
very mystical
Jewish essence,
has long
confounded the
non-Jews who
have championed
the Gospel
message. To
their own
undoing, most
Christians
ignore their own
theologians and
biblical
scholars who
have attempted
to warn them
that the
scriptures are
paradoxical --
i.e., that in
all theological
positions there
exists two lines
of seemingly
opposite and
conflicting
truths presented
to the reader --
and those who
accept one truth
while ignoring
the other, will
themselves fall
into heresy by
falling into
grave sectarian
error with
respect to the
true meaning of
the Gospel
message. Thus,
those who
maintain that
there is no
salvation apart
from belief in
the historical
Jesus in the
manner of modern
Christian
doctrine, have
themselves
fallen into the
trap of heresy
that the very
first followers
of Jesus warned
believers not to
fall into! And
while it is true
that these
sectarian vicars
of the Church
can prove their
position by
using the
scriptures, it
is further true
that their own
scriptures also
contain another
line of truth
that presents an
entirely
different
picture than
what the Church
has portrayed to
the world -- a
picture where
the opposite is
also true.

The Sower And
The Seed:
Unless you
become the "good
ground" in the
parable of the
Sower And The
Seed, it will
remain
impossible for
you to
comprehend the
true spiritual
meaning of the
Gospel and the
higher reality
of the soul and
the Kingdom of
God. |

The Secret
Doctrine Of
Christianity:
In the
approximate year
of 178 of our
Common Era,
Celsus, the
Epicurean
Philosopher and
opponent of
Christianity
published a
rather
embarrassing
work in
opposition to
Christianity
known as The
True Word or
Discourse. It is
said that this
work was widely
published and
used by the
Pagan world as
an attack on the
Church. In
examination of
this document,
the modern
Christian must
initially ask:
Who today would
accuse the
Christian Church
of being a
“secret
system”?
No one --
because the
Church today has
lost its
spiritual
essence -- and
is a mere shadow
of its former
self over the
first three
centuries of its
existence.
Therefore, it is
important for us
to recognize
that such an
allegation would
be unheard of in
our present
time. |

The Enigma Of
The Shepherd Of
Hermas:
Even though it
is said of the
Shepherd of
Hermas that it
was
"...the most
popular books,
if not the most
popular book, in
the Christian
Church during
the second,
third, and
fourth
centuries...",
it remains
unknown to the
modern Church.
Why? Why was the
book that is
representative
of the core
Gospel of the
earliest Church,
no longer is use
today? Because
while Hermas
reflected the
original
teachings of
Jesus and TheWay,
it would be
deemed heresy by
the modern
Church. And when
rightly
understood, the
fact of the
matter is that
it is impossible
for the modern
believer,
critic, biblical
expert or
scholar to in
any manner
understand the
message that
Hermas bears.
Which means that
if the Shepherd
of Hermas was
indeed the most
popular
scripture in the
Gentile Church
over the first
three centuries,
then it can
rightly be
stated that the
modern Church
has virtually
nothing in
common with the
pre-Nicene
Gentile Church.

Divine Manna:
"To him who
overcomes will I
give to eat of
the hidden
manna"
(Rev 2:8-17).
"My People
Are Destroyed
For Lack Of
Knowledge
Because You Have
Rejected
Knowledge, I
Reject You..."
(Hosea 4:6).
"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).
"Therefore, he
who rejects this
instruction does
not reject man
but God, who
gives you his
Holy Spirit"
(1 Thes 4:8 NIV) |

Gospel Of
Thomas:
These most
important
teachings were
at one time
contained in the
traditional
Gospels before
being removed
(see
BibleCorruption.com).
In the Intro I
explore one of
the teachings
that are
absolutely
essential for
all believers to
embrace, in
order to gain
entrance into
the Kingdom (see
The Unwanted
Truth).
Without which,
it will remain
impossible for
the believer to
enter the
Kingdom both in
this life, and
the life that is
yet to follow.

The Gate Of
Eden:
Why were the
Nazirene/Ebionites
vegetarian? Why
did they live in
accordance with
the precepts of
the Torah/Law?
Why did they
live separate
and apart from
both Jews and
Christians? The
answer is very
simple: The Gate
of Eden is
within us, and
if we fail to
enter therein
while we are
still physically
alive in the
body, we will
have failed in
our opportunity
to enter into
Life. And while
it can be
countered that
we are saved by
our belief in
Messiah/Christ,
faith, or the
blood of the
lamb, the truth
is that if we
were truly
faithful
disciples of
TheWay, that we
would experience
the opening of
the inner door
and the Kingdom
coming within
us. The
GateOfEden
article explores
all aspects of
the need to pick
up one's own
cross and follow
the narrow path
that leads to
the inner gate
to the Edenic
Kingdom of
Origination. |

What was the
Mysteries of the
Gospel that
Jesus revealed
only to the
inner core of
disciples?
While teaching
the multitude of
the people only
in parables? "And
the disciples
came and said to
Him, Why do You
speak to them in
parables? He
answered and
said to them,
Because it has
been given to
you to know the
mysteries of the
kingdom of
heaven, but to
them it has not
been given" (Matt
13:10-11 NKJ).
As someone who
was there, at
the time, what
is presented in
this article is
not only far
beyond the
understanding of
any book that
you could read,
or teacher you
could seek
out. what is
presented in
this article
will force you
to re-evaluate
everything that
you thought you
knew about both
yourself, and
the very purpose
of life as you
think you
understand it.
And even more
revealing than
the three major
lies of Judaism,
Christianity and
Islam that
inhibits the
people from
understanding
the foundational
essence of all
three religions,
is an
examination of
both the lies
and profound
truths of the
emerging
scientific world
which is for the
most part
ignored by our
cultural icons,
because the
findings of
modern quantum
physics confirms
the visionary
truths of the
Mystics which
the religious
and intellectual
worlds have long
censored from
the common
understanding. |

Epistle Of
Light - Epistle
Of James To Pope
John Paul II:
2000 years ago I
lived as Jacob
the brother of
Jesus known as
James. I was
sent back to
bring about the
restoration of
the Church, and
the within
letter to Pope
John Paul is
important for
you to read and
forward. The
pope has the
power to bring
peace on earth
if he releases
certain early
Christian
documents that
are in his
possession.
Jesus is calling
out to you to
help make the
truth known!
Will you hear
the call? |

Light Of Yeshua:
The Essence of
Messianic
Judaism and
being
Spiritually
Torah
Observant. Many
Messianic Jews
attempt to
embrace
traditional
Christian
doctrine with a
Jewish facade in
an attempt to
convert other
Jews to a
quasi-form of
Jewish-Christianity
with a Pagan
foundation. In
view of the fact
that the
original
followers of
Yeshua are
historically
described as
“…rejected from
one religion as
apostates, and
from the other
as heretics”
(Gibbon: Decline
& Fall of the
Roman Empire,
v.1, p.416),
this conversion
to
Jewish-Christianity
would be a grave
error. |

The Cross And
The Seat Belt:
The only mean by
which mankind
can move beyond
his present
limitations and
struggles with
the unknown, is
to gain access
to the Source of
what he observes
and interacts
with in the
world which is
in what the
mystic and
scientist affirm
as being the (Etheric)
Field that
surrounds all
matter that we
observe with our
physical
senses. But to
accomplish this,
man must develop
ways to
effectively use
his suppressed
Intuitive
spheres of
mind. Which
means that to
even begin to
tap into the
unseen Source,
we must move
beyond our
traditional
behaviors,
mindset and
perception of
reality, and
begin to embrace
untraditional
ways that permit
the development
and use of our
suppressed
Intuitive
facilities of
mind. If what
man presently
portrays as
accidents, can
indeed be
perceived prior
to the event
taking place --
and thus, be
avoided -- then
we will have
eliminated the
massive
suffering and
even death that
is the result of
these episodes
of human
existence. And
therefore, if
the witness of
both the Mystic
and the emerging
scientific
evidence is true
-- and reality
must he sought
in the unseen (Etheric)
Field as the
Source of all
events that
transpire --
then it becomes
imperative for
man to begin to
develop and
evolve those
Intuitive
spheres of mind
that has been
abandoned and
left atrophied
by the
linear-only
elements of our
modern culture. |

How Did Jesus
Become The Son
Of God? It
is a widely
accepted
doctrine among
Christians today
that the
disciples and
Ebionite
Nazirene
followers did
not comprehend
the true nature
of Jesus,
because they did
not proclaim
that he was God
-- as did the
later Gentile
converts. Yet,
just the
opposite is true
-- i.e., the
vast majority of
Romans and
Greeks were too
pagan and
heathen in their
thinking and
mindset, to
understand the
higher spiritual
concepts that
Jesus and his
disciples
revealed to
mankind. Even
today the
problem remains
with respect to
our inability to
understand why
Jesus was
different than
we are. Because
Christians cling
to the doctrines
of Rome, they
are unable to
answer many
important
foundational
questions that
would permit
their thinking
to evolve beyond
what Paul
portrayed as the
entry-level
doctrines of the
simple faith
that are
elementary in
their
understanding.
And while Paul
warns that the
"natural"
(organic) mind
of man is
incapable of
understanding
the higher
reality of the
soul and the
Inner Kingdom
-- warning that
committed and
baptized
believers will
reject the
Mysteries of God
as utter
"foolishness" --
yet, the modern
Church to their
own destruction
continues to
ignore this
all-important
warning. What
enabled Jesus to
perform
miracles? What
enabled him to
be able to
communicate with
the Father?
Surely, we
conclude, he
could not have
been a normal
man. Therefore,
we arrive at the
only possible
answer from our
very limited
perspective and
conclude that
the Jewish
disciples and
earliest
followers of
Jesus must have
been wrong, and
he had to have
been God to know
all that he
knew, and be
able to do all
that he did.
Thus, the flaw
in the thinking
of the Church is
in their
inability to
envision and
comprehend the
manner in which
mankind grows
and evolves to a
state of
spiritual
maturity -- how
man, the
prodigal son,
who was created
in the image and
likeness of God,
his Heavenly
Father, begins
to take on all
the attributes
of his Creator
and Parent. In
not
understanding
the process by
which each of us
embraces our
eventual
destiny, we
worship instead
of imitating the
pattern that
Yeshua/Jesus
provided for all
the prodigal
sons and
daughters of the
Most High to
follow. |

Lilith - The
Demonic Reality
Of Feminism: In
the Divine
Pattern of
Creation man and
woman are not
only equal, but
the
mental/spiritual
level of one
polarity
directly affects
and limits the
other. The
spiritual
ignorance of
many religious
groups today is
directly in
