The Cosmology Of The Gospels

   Is The Scriptures Myth? Or Are We Ignorant Of Their True Purpose?

When we instruct elementary school students, we present the information in an age and grade-level appropriate manner.   We would not even attempt to teach elementary school students physics, trigonometry, and calculus at an age level where they must first learn basic math.  And that the consciousness of organic (natural) man is in fact embryonic, and is too immature and undeveloped to comprehend the higher reality of the Soul and the spiritual meaning of the scriptures, is why Paul warned that the quasi-historical account of Jesus and the crucifixion is "milk" designed for "babes in Christ" (see http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#animal ) -- wherein he warned that if he even attempted to convey the Higher Truth to the baptized and confirmed Christians who he personally taught and instructed, that they would reject the spiritual meaning of the Gospels as utter "foolishness".  Why?  Because the mind of organic man is very much an embryonic-seed that must be sown in what is portrayed in the parable of the Sower and the Seed as the "good ground" that brings forth fruit in the form of the Divine Manna that mentally expands and spiritually deepens the mind of the sincere seeker beyond organic human levels of consciousness.  Therefore, without this necessary transformational  process, the spiritual meaning of the scriptures and the higher reality of the Soul remains beyond the organic limitations of natural human comprehension.   And the fact that not only the Church, but also modern scholars ignore this warning, is the cause of our self-imposed ignorance of our own higher Soul-Reality.  Further, in the same way that certain conditions must be present for a seed to germinate, sprout and begin to grow, the body/mind of man is portrayed as earthen-ground in the parable of the Sower and the Seed, because of its impact upon the development of the embryonic-seed that has been planted therein.   And when rightly understood, there is an ultra-important equation to the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening -- an equation that is crucial for deep thought vs shallow rote programming.  And because modern academia does not at all understand how to bring about the expansion and deepening of mind beyond embryonic human limitations, our whole system of education anchors the students to self-ignorance.    Who Are We?  What Are We?  From Where Did We Come? What Is Our Ultimate Destiny?  Only a handful of people today can answer these all-important crucial questions correctly! The rest dwell under the cloud of unknowing. What do you actually know about yourself from the perspective of the axiom: Know Thyself?

When rightly understood, the Gospels are not historical accounts as most people erroneously believe and assume -- but rather, the Gospels possess embedded symbolism and catalysts that use a developmental-equation to bring about the transformational mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening that evolves the mind to levels of Wholeness and Completion.   How important is it to achieve a condition of Wholeness?  In the words of Jesus: "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).   Which provokes the question: If the objective of the life we are living is to achieve Wholeness , then how is this Wholeness achieved?   Contrary to the dogma of the modern Church, if Jesus is the savior who every person needs for salvation, then Jesus himself said the Church was wrong, and those who are Whole do not need him.  Therefore, as a physician, Jesus did not come for the salvation of those who are Whole, but only for those who are sick and in need of a physician.   And in total opposition to Church dogma, what this also means is that at the time the historical man Jesus walked the face of the earth, there existed people who he portrayed as "whole [and] righteous" who did not need a physician.  Jesus openly states that his mission as a spiritual physician is not for them, because they achieved the necessary Wholeness without him.  Which raises the question: Does everyone need Jesus as the modern Christian maintains?  While Jesus himself said that those who had achieved Wholeness did not need him as a spiritual physician -- i.e., They that are whole have no need of the physician..." -- and that with effort, all of mankind is capable of achieving a condition that Jesus portrayed as "whole [and] righteous", which means that these people who did achieve Wholeness, were not sick, and in Jesus' own words were not in need of him (Jesus) as a physician to heal them.   Which means that (1) not only is the whole foundation of modern Church dogma man-made and in error; (2) that blind belief in quasi-historical accounts cannot achieve the necessary Wholeness required; (3) that the Gospels provide a totally different purpose than what is commonly believed today.   

In order for the developmental-equation to properly function and bring about a condition of wholeness, the embedded symbols and catalysts must be presented in a useable format that can be embraced in the daily lives of the "babes in Christ" that Paul warns are incomprehensible to man's organic embryonic consciousness.   Therefore, the Gospels were intentionally created with an historical facade that could be intimately embraced by individuals and groups of serious seekers.   Without the historical facade of the literal text of the scriptures, the crucial developmental-equation could not be put into place where the symbols and catalysts were able to properly function in the development of the mind of the seeker. 

The word EDUCATE: is derived from the Latin, “educare,” and it means “to draw out that which lies within.”   Yet, because we are totally ignorant of what can be portrayed as the Cosmology of Mind and Being, we attempt to educate by using rote programming on the young minds of students -- thereby inflicting almost irreversible harm when we suppress and atrophie those areas of mind that are necessary to develop in order to tap into the Inner Source of Knowledge within us -- i.e., at the Core of our Mind and Being.  Further, our systems of education inhibits religious people from understanding and embracing the core New Covenant teachings -- inhibiting them from receiving the Divine Manna that is essential in fulfilling the very purpose of the life that we are presently living (see The Divine Manna - The Gospels - The foundation of the New Covenant http://BrotherOfJesus.org#NewCovenant ).  An example of this fact is presented by the author and visionary Philip K. Dick who developed the ability to recall his Soul's life as a first century Christian, where he wrote with respect to the original disciples of Jesus that:  "Christ ...taught his followers how to enter the kingdom while still alive, where other mystery religions only bring about amnesis: knowledge of it at the 'other time' in 'the other realm,' not here.  He causes it to come here, and is the living agency to the Sole Good God (i.e. the Logos)."    This is true -- and that the original Gospel message was to develop the mind through the transformative process of expansion and deepening of consciousness, and then enable the disciple of TheWay to gain entrance into the Inner Kingdom, is easily demonstrated at the subheading: The Third Fatal Mistake - Not Proving The Truth. 

Without understanding the Cosmology of Mind -- i.e., the blueprint of interacting Spheres of opposite polarities of the Mind -- including the Laws and Forces of Consciousness that must be nourished and evolved to support Wholeness -- the developmental-equation and transformative mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening cannot be brought about.   Resulting in a mental flat-lining that Paul portrays as "animal-consciousness" that is incapable of Higher Comprehension and Self-Knowledge (see Animal/Organic Consciousness).   Ordinary levels of human consciousness is often portrayed as the product of the ego-self -- the lower-self -- the earthly-self -- which means that human consciousness is a projection of a deeper level of Higher-Self that the person we are in this world remains ignorant and separated from.  When author and visionary Philip K. Dick uses the term "amnesis" (see Anamnesis - Innate Knowledge Of The Truth Of All Truths: http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#Innate ), what he portrayed was an elementary level of Soul-Memory that many spiritual systems were able to achieve.   In contradistinction to these groups which he called "mystery religions", the disciples of Jesus were able embrace the Gospel teachings and actually enter the Kingdom within.  But what this also means is that the mind of an infant is not empty -- but rather, is full -- and therefore the person you are in this world must learn and acquire the ability to tap into and even connect with your Inner or True-Self.     

When the wise men of the past used the adage to "Know Thyself", they used this term to portray that reality of Self that is beyond the embryonic shadow-image of human consciousness that is projected into this world from a Higher Source of Mind and Being.  Our True-Self that the adage to Know Thyself portrays, is a twelve-dimensional Being of Higher Mind -- whereas, organic man can be rightly portrayed as a three-dimensional seed-projection of our True-Self that must mentally evolve through the process of expansion, deepening and spiritual evolution.   In the parable of the Sower and the Seed, the person must become what is portrayed as the "good ground" in order to make any progress and advancement.  The wise men and women of our distant past knew this -- and they were able acquire self-knowledge, and to accomplish this manifestation of their True-Self, because they understood the Cosmology of Mind and the Laws and Forces of Consciousness -- i.e., "Jesus said, ...But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty".   And this condition of intellectual poverty that is being made note of in the Gospel, is the result of man's failure to Know Thyself -- i.e., his True-Self that cannot manifest in the physical body without the necessary development of mind. 

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 -- and by virtue of the undeveloped 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 detail 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 Gospels teach that there are two ways -- portrayed as the "broad-way" and the "narrow" path into Life.  To understand the Two Ways and the difference between the New and Old Covenants, one must understand the two foundational paradigms of human consciousness -- which is based upon the premise: Is an infant's mind empty and in need of being filled with the wisdom and knowledge of mankind?  Or, is every infant an extension of an inner un-manifest source of mind and consciousness that many portray as our True or Soul-Self -- who is itself an expression of the Logos (Mind of God a.k.a. Son of God), and s/he must learn and acquire the ability to tap into this Inner Source of Higher Mind and Being?  

 The Gospels state: "I worship the God of our fathers As a follower of The Way" (Acts 24:14 NIV).  Jesus taught those who follow in TheWay as his disciples must: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NKJ).  Thus, the dividing point between the Two Ways is seen in the fact that there is no "narrow gate" that one can enter in the outer world.  Why?  Because the "narrow gate" is within you -- and the whole focus and objective of the New Covenant is to guide the followers of Jesus into the "narrow gate" by achieving the next stage of birth, and gaining entrance into the Kingdom within.  The Pharisees who looked for the Kingdom of God to come upon the earth, asked him: If you are the Messiah, when would you inaugurate the Kingdom?  And when would the Kingdom come upon the earth?  "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, See here! or, see there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20-21).  And what this means is that ONLY when the the Original Gospel Teachings are intimately followed and embraced (see http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ) -- and the Gospels used as the Key of Knowledge by turning them within the believer's own mind and being (see The End Times - Armageddon/Rapture (see The Application Of The Key Of Knowledge http://KeyOfKnowledge.org#ApplicationOfTheKeyOfKnowledge ) -- can the next stage of birth be achieved, and the objectives of the Gospel be manifest in what is allegorically portrayed as the End Times  (see The Coming Of The Kingdom http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#EndTimes ). 

That Jesus expected his followers to enter in at the "narrow strait gate", and gain entrance into the Inner Kingdom, is demonstrated in his condemnation of the Jews as "blind guides" -- i.e., "How terrible it will be for you experts in religious law! For you hide the key to knowledge from the people. You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering" (Luke 11:52).  Thus, in understanding these words spoken to the Pharisees, the questions must be asked: How did the Pharisees and Jewish authorities "...hide the key to knowledge from the people"?   Why did Jesus condemn the leaders of the Jews for failing to enter the Kingdom themselves? -- i.e., "...You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves"!   And how did the religious leaders of the Jews "...prevent others from entering?"   In further clarification, the TEV version of the this verse states: “How terrible for you teachers of the Law! You have kept the key that opens the door to the house of knowledge; you yourselves will not go in, and you stop those who are trying to go in!” (Luke 11:52 TEV).  Thus, the scriptures when properly used, have the ability to "open the [inner] door to the House of Knowledge" -- and their outward interpretations whereby they seek the Kingdom to come outwardly (see The End Times - Armageddon/Rapture - The Coming Of The Kingdom http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#EndTimes ),  inhibits believers from "going in [the Hose of Knowledge]" -- and by teaching the people their outward interpretations, they inhibited the community of believers from entering the Hose of Knowledge.   That the primary objective of the Gospel is to prepare and enable the seeker/disciple to enter the Kingdom, is further demonstrated in Jesus' condemnation of the blind religious leaders as seen in the words: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to" (Matt 23:13 NIV).  Which means that the Kingdom of God is not something that will come if we wait for it -- but rather, it is a reality which man must seek and find -- within himself.

Before you can begin to utilize the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge, you must first come to terms with the reality that you must begin to develop those inward-looking Intuitive (feminine) spheres of mind that is able to tap into the Source of Knowledge within you.   The foundation of The New Covenant is set forth in the words -- i.e., "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.  None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them" (Heb 8:10-11 NKJ).  Yet, the Christian world has rejected the very foundation and tenets of the New Covenant by virtue of countless teachers, Bible Commentaries, a mass of Bible interpretations  and the adoption of man-made dogma that inhibits the believer's spiritual advancement.

What this means is that if your mind has been dominated by the outward-looking linear spheres of mind -- studying many books -- listening to many teachers -- then those inward-looking intuitive spheres of mind have been suppressed and even atrophied.  Unless you are at least willing to seek and find out if there is an inner Source of knowledge, then it will remain impossible for you to begin to tap into what you reject the existence of.   Therefore, the application of the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge (see http://TreeOfLife.org ), means that you are turning the scriptures within your own Mind and Being in order to travail the "narrow" path of the New Covenant -- entering within your own consciousness through the "narrow strait gate" -- and gain entrance into the Inner Kingdom while still physically alive in the body -- thereby fulfilling the requirement to be a "poor one" (Ebionite) to the ways and thinking of this world.  If, on the other hand, you attempt to read the scriptures outwardly -- as portraying historical events that transpired in the past -- then you are reading the Gospels in an Old Covenant Mode from the perspective of a spiritually flat-lined mindset in the manner of the Pharisees who were portrayed as "blind guides" who threw away the Key of Knowledge

  The Four Gates Of The Mind: The ancients understood that the mind of man has what can be portrayed as four (4) Gates -- each of which must be independently developed to function together to bring about Wholeness in the Center.  The mind of man can look outwardly through the Linear (male) spheres of mind -- look inwardly through the Intuitive (feminine) spheres of mind -- upward into the heavenly spheres of mind through such things as meditation -- or, allow one's mind to be controlled by the person's lower earthly carnal nature (see Organic Man Ruled Over By His Lower Animal Nature  http://SoulSelf.org#AnimalNature ).  The "narrow gate" can only be entered through the Center -- and only by bringing the Mind into a condition of Wholeness -- i.e., "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).   Before this verse can be understood, we must first understand what it means to be Whole.   Which provokes the question: How is Wholeness achieved?   Contrary to the dogma of the modern Church, if Jesus is the savior who every person needs for salvation, then Jesus himself said the Church was wrong, and those who are Whole do not need him.  And as a physician, Jesus did not come for the salvation of those who are Whole, but only for those who are sick and in need of a physician.   And in total opposition to Church dogma, what this also means is that at the time the historical man Jesus walked the face of the earth, there existed people who he portrayed as "whole [and] righteous" who did not need Jesus the physician.  Jesus openly states that his mission as a spiritual physician is not for them, because they achieved the necessary Wholeness without him.  Does everyone need Jesus as the modern Christian maintains?  While Jesus himself said that those who had achieved Wholeness did not need him as a spiritual physician -- i.e., They that are whole have no need of the physician..." -- and that with effort, all of mankind is capable of achieving a condition that Jesus portrayed as "whole [and] righteous", which means that these people who did achieve Wholeness, were not sick, and in Jesus' own words were not in need of him (Jesus) as a physician to heal them.   Which means that the whole foundation of modern Church dogma is man-made and in error. 

It is impossible to achieve the necessary condition of Wholeness, so long as the person's mind is only functioning through the limitations imposed upon their thinking through the Linear (outward/male) spheres of mind.  Which means that the necessary Wholeness can only be achieved, when a catalyst is used as an Intervention into the person's organic consciousness.  The Linear spheres of mind are limited in their perceptive-vision and understanding, because the Linear can only draw knowledge through one of the four gates of the mind that look outwardly.  And so long as the (male) Linear spheres of mind remain dominate in the process of learning -- learning primarily through external teachers and physical experiences -- the mind of the person will remain outward-looking and flat-lined -- unable to mature beyond a certain point of quasi-development.  The scriptures are designed to bring about Wholeness of mind -- but if the linear/historical interpretations of the scriptures are permitted to control the thinking of the person, then it will remain impossible to bring about the necessary mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening that is the foundation of not only a higher level of enlightenment, but also Self-Knowledge.  So long as the three-dimensional linear/historical perception of man's reality is allowed to control the Intuitive and other spheres of mind, the development of these other spheres of mind will remain negated and atrophied -- thereby inhibiting any degree of achieving Wholeness.  When Jesus said: "If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32) -- this knowledge and truth that makes the person free, can only come to a mind that is Whole.   Therefore, what is presented in the written words of the scriptures must be understood as being beyond the Linear spheres of the reader's mind to decipher and understand the meaning of.   In many respects the Linear which interprets the scriptures exclusively in a linear/historical manner, must somehow be handcuffed and inhibited from dominating over the other spheres of mind, and in their interpretations which the linear mind would portray as rational and logical, ruling over the interpretation of the scriptures.   Why?  To evolve the mind of the person beyond organic limitations, paradoxical opposites that exist within the mind must be united and raised up -- and to accomplish this, allegorical catalysts must be employed within the textual body of the scriptures in what can perhaps best be portrayed as reverse-stimulation -- i.e., drawing out from a pre-existing Source within the depths of higher consciousness -- thereby stimulating and developing the inward looking Intuitive spheres of mind that is often seen as irrational to the outward-looking linear spheres of mind.  Safeguards must be put in place to suspend linear domination -- with the problem being that if the Linear (male/outward) is allowed to exercise its natural power to rule over the Intuitive (feminine/inward), no higher development of mind can be brought about.  And without this process of reverse-stimulation and the elevation of paradoxical opposites that exist within the mind in what can be portrayed as four (4) trinities, the consciousness of the person/student will remain flat-lined (see Tree Of Life @ http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org ).  

In order to begin to develop the inward-looking Intuitive (feminine) spheres of mind, a catalyst must be used that will inhibit outward-looking Linear (male) domination of the person's thinking and conclusions.  In the Gospels associated with Mary Magdalene it is written: “She speaks to the other disciples about Jesus and what she’s seen, and Peter says, ‘I don’t believe the Lord said these things. These are certainly strange ideas.’ And she says, ‘Well, do you think I made them up? Do you think I’m lying about the Lord?’” (see The Intuitive Mind vs Linear-Rational http://SoulSelf.org#IntuitiveVsLinear ).  In this allegorical representation, the linear-rational aspect of mind is represented in Peter's inability to comprehend what the feminine-intuitive (as represented in the allegorical personification of Mary Magdalene) reveals.   And since these intuitive visions, impressions and wisdom does not support the linear reasoning of the masculine vision of this world and Creation, in most people they are rejected.   But in view of the fact that the Linear (male) outward-looking perception is portrayed as the "broad-way" of death, a catalyst must be used to intervene in the thinking of the seeker/disciple that enables them to begin to tap into the Intuitive (feminine) inward-looking spheres of mind as allegorically portrayed in the personage of Mary Magdalene.  Wholeness can only be achieved across the spectrum of the four gates where both the Linear and Intuitive are equal and brought together in the Center -- thereby restoring the division of the upper-heavenly and lower-earthly within the mind of the seeker/disciple. 

Do we understand the higher purpose and objective of the scriptures?  It is the product of our own ego-driven thinking that is the basis of our questioning the intelligence of the authors of the scriptures because of the countless discordances, inconsistencies and errors that exist in the body of the text.   It never dawns on us that the authors intentionally inserted what appears to be the countless discordances into the body of the text for an important purpose.  And it is in fact these discordances, inconsistencies and seemingly errors that are important in suppressing the domination of the Linear (male) interpretation of the scriptures.   Those who understood the purpose and objective of the scriptures, and utilized them as the Key of Knowledge (see The Application Of The Key Of Knowledge http://KeyOfKnowledge.org#ApplicationOfTheKeyOfKnowledge ) to develop the inward Intuitive spheres of mind, recognized that the inconsistencies which were intentionally inserted into the text, were employed as catalysts that could only be interpreted in accord with the ability of the person to draw from within to the Inner Source of Knowledge.  And if we pose the question: Why are the scriptures composed in their present allegorical manner?  Because to be effective, they must stimulate the thinking of the people not only in a linear manner, but also by employing catalysts that bring about the process of reverse-stimulation.  In the words of Einstein: "Imagination is more important than knowledge" -- because imagination is intuitive, and can be used as a vehicle to reverse-stimulate the developing mind.  Einstein also warned that "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."  Why is the Intuitive mind a sacred gift?  Because it has the power and ability to access inner-consciousness and manifest the Higher Mind of not only our True-Self, but ultimately the Mind of God (Logos).   

Paul correctly portrayed the written text and narrative of the scriptures as the "letter that killeth [and] Jewish folktales" (see 2 Cor 3:6; Titus 1:14).   Why?   Why would Paul portray the written narrative of the scriptures in this manner?  Because the literal text of the scriptures is a quasi-historical facade that is necessary for the very limited instruction of the immature seeker -- with the true spiritual meaning remaining preserved and concealed beneath the garb of allegory (see An Inconvenient Truth).   When Paul stated that he was forced to provide the baptized and committed Christians who he had himself taught, what he portrayed as "milk", because as "babes in Christ" they were too immature to comprehend the higher reality of the Soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom, what he was warning the faith-based Christian was that man's higher spiritual reality was beyond the rational of their linear-outward looking minds.  And that the literal body of the scriptures which was built upon "Jewish folktales" (see Titus 1:14), possessed an important meaning that could only be comprehended by those who are themselves Whole and Complete.  And this is why the Church Father Origen explained that “Scripture contains an unhistorical element in-woven with the history, in order that the worthlessness of the latter may drive us to seek the spiritual meaning” (Origen quoted under Origen Adamntius; The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics).   Further explaining in De Principiis that: “Where the word found that things done according to the history could be adapted to these mystical senses, he made use of them concealing from the multitude the deeper meaning; but where in the narrative of the development of super-sensual things, there did not follow the performance of those certain events which were already indicated by the mystical meaning, the scripture interwove in the history the account of some event that did not take place, sometimes what could not have happened; sometimes what could but did not.” 

Which provokes the question: Why is the literal/historical interpretation of the scriptures portrayed as "worthless"?   Why would the Living Word (Logos) intentionally insert into the body of the text "...some events that did not take place, sometimes what could not have happened; sometimes what could but did not”?   Further, not only was the unhistorical events that were in-woven into the textual body of the scriptures easily detected, but they were intentionally designed to be recognized as not literally or historically true.  In the words of the Church Father Origen who was called the "prince of Christian learning", second only to the disciples, writes: “What man of sense will agree with the statement that the first, second and third days in which the evening is named and the morning, were without sun, moon and stars, and the first day without a heaven. What man is found such an idiot as to suppose that God planted trees in paradise in Eden, like a husbandman, and planted therein the tree of life, perceptible to the eyes and senses, which gave life to the eater thereof; and another tree which gave to the eater thereof a knowledge of good and evil? I believe that every man must hold these things for images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed” (Origen - Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p. 142).  

Why were the scriptures written in this manner?  In order to develop the mind beyond human organic limitations, the process of reverse-stimulation or the drawing from the inner consciousness of the person, had to be present in order to develop the inward-looking Intuitive spheres of mind -- balance out the four (4) paradoxical trinities that are responsible for the great diversity of human potential of thought -- and thereby bring about Wholeness of Mind and Consciousness.  And in order to recognize the existence of the in-woven historical/literal untruths that are embedded into the textual body of the scriptures, the authors made use of the common beliefs of the people in a re-engineered form.  Therefore, in order for the scriptures to be effective in the development of the mind, it was necessary to use familiar beliefs that the people already held -- beliefs which were often based upon myth and folklore -- but in their re-engineered form, provided a means to begin to tap into an Inner Source of pre-existing knowledge that surpassed the knowledge of mankind.  In the words of the Church Father Origen we find his assertion that the scriptures take on a form which is appropriate to a certain group of people, so that it might begin the process of bringing those people to a mental and spiritual level of maturity (see The Great Lie About The Scriptures http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheGreatLie ).  And this is explained by Origen who writes that: “If a Greek wished by wholesome instruction to benefit people who understood only Egyptian or Syriac, the first thing that he would do would be to learn their language; and he would rather pass for a Barbarian among the Greeks, by speaking as the Egyptians or Syrians, in order to be useful to them, than always remain Greek, and be without the means of helping them. In the same way the divine nature, having the purpose of instructing not only those who are reputed to be learned in the literature of Greece, but also the rest of mankind, accommodated itself to the capacities of the simple multitudes whom it addressed. It seeks to win the attention of the more ignorant by the use of language which is familiar to them, so that they may easily be induced, after their first introduction, to strive after an acquaintance with the deeper truths which lie hidden in Scripture. For even the ordinary reader of Scripture may see that it contains many things which are too deep to be apprehended at first; but these are understood by such as devote themselves to a careful study of the divine word, and they become plain to them in proportion to the pains and zeal which they expend upon its investigation” (Origen Contra Celsum).

  The Octave And The Rainbow:  In the same way that the notes of an octave and the colors of the rainbow are created by mathematical frequencies, this is also true of the levels of human consciousness.  The White Light associated with man's higher Soul-Reality in the Being of Light (see http://BeingOfLight.com ), is comprised of the seven primary colors of the rainbow -- and these seven colors are emitted by the seven spiritual centers of the body -- each of the colors and spectrum of associated sound is the embodiment of the mathematical frequencies that support the consciousness associated with that spiritual center (see The Application Of The Law Of Octaves And The Trinity http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#LawOfOctaves ).  And the importance of this is stated in the words: "I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth" (Gen 9:13) -- meaning, that to understand the relationship of the seven colors and their mathematical frequencies of the rainbow, is to begin to understand the foundations of consciousness.  Pythagoras, Giordano Bruno, Gurdjieff are among those who stated facts with respect to the framework of consciousness that modern physicists have only now proven to be true -- i.e., that the Laws and the Foundation of Creation were all composed in Mathematics and Numbers.  From the perspective of the Mystic who develops those areas of mind that enable him/her to look beyond the physical images of this realm, modern science has proven the wisdom and witness of the Mystic, and this is demonstrated and explored at The True Facts And Realities Of Life http://KnowThySelf.Nazirene.org#TrueFactAndRealitiesOfLife .  And while the analogy of Plato's Cave has been confirmed by modern science (see Plato - The Physicist http://KnowThySelf.Nazirene.org#Plato ), the dilemma that confronts the modern physicists is the fact that they simply do not possess the necessary knowledge of the Cosmology of Mind to escape the Cave of Illusions of this world.   Why?  Because they lack the necessary understanding of how the mind is expanded and deepened -- which wisdom lies concealed within the allegorical scriptures and their true purpose and objective.  In the Epistle of Peter to James the warning is presented that if the esoteric body of knowledge that Jesus revealed to his disciples should become lost, that "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error".  Why?  Because embedded within the allegorical body of the scriptures is the framework of esoteric self-knowledge that enables the seeker/disciple to develop the mind beyond organic human limitations, thereby enabling them to achieve the necessary Wholeness to escape the limitations of this shadow-world (see Wholeness of Mind & Being http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#wholeness ).  And to bring this Enlightened Condition of Mind and Being about, is why Jesus stated: "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).  Which means that at the time that the man Jesus walked the earth there were those present who had achieved the necessary Wholeness that enabled them to perceptively-understand the higher Soul-Reality that organic man remains inherently blind to -- even to the degree that they were able to enter the Spiritual Source-Realm that we portray as the Kingdom.  And as a physician, Jesus was not called to heal those who had achieved the necessary Wholeness -- but rather, those whose organic consciousness remained carnal and caused them to be prisoners of this world.     

In the subheading entitled The Original Spiritual Language Of The Gospels (see http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#OriginalLanguage ), I demonstrate that the Original Gospels were written in Biblical Hebrew Characters -- and in this language without vowels, each letter is also a number.   The authors of the Gospels composed their scriptures in Living Biblical Hebrew, because they understood that every level of Consciousness is associated with vibratory frequencies -- as is individual colors that together manifest the white light of the Soul, and notes within the pattern of an octave.   Each of the authors understood the Law of Octaves (see The Application Of The Law Of Octaves And The Trinity http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#LawOfOctaves ), and its effect upon the movement of the Natural Laws of Creation and Consciousness within the mind of the seeker/disciple.  What this means is that every name that is used in the biblical text composed in the Hebrew Characters, not only has a meaning in what the names and places portray in their meaning -- as well as how the name is used - but also has a numerical equivalent that when used and understood in conjunction with the other names of people, places or things, can portray an esoteric meaning that is not at all apparent to the readers who believe they are reading either a myth, folklore, or an historical account.   And while the linear spheres of mind cannot make sense of what is being presented through the symbols and catalysts embedded in the textual body of the scriptures, once developed, the intuitive spheres of mind are able to tap into the inner Source of knowledge that reveals to the seeker/disciple what is being allegorically presented.  When the scriptures are read from an historical perspective, the reader relates the names a historical people or places -- failing to understand that each name portrays a meaning that presents an aspect of mind and consciousness that is signified in the names and places in the allegorical text. 

Why is this important?  Because the linear spheres of mind are only capable of perceptively understanding the surface of what is outwardly seen.  Thereby failing to understand that what is outwardly seen is an incomplete allegorical image of an Unseen Higher Reality that modern science has now proven the existence of (see The True Facts And Realities Of Life http://KnowThySelf.Nazirene.org#TrueFactAndRealitiesOfLife ).  And this is why it is stated: “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand” (Mark 4:11-12 KJV).  So long as a person's thinking is founded upon the incomplete outward linear perception of reality, they will remain blind to their own higher Soul-Realty, incapable of hearing with any depth of comprehension, and incapable of understanding.  Thus, the reality of the words: "To him who overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna" (Rev 2:8-17).  Overcome what?  Overcome the organic human limitations of mind.   And when the scriptures are used as the Key of Knowledge and turned within the seeker/disciples own mind and being -- thereby enabling the intuitive and other spheres of mind to develop in order to nurture Wholeness -- only then can the seeker/disciple begin to receive the Divine Manna of the Kingdom (see The Divine Manna - The Gospels - The foundation of the New Covenant http://BrotherOfJesus.org#NewCovenant ).  Which is why Paul portrayed the linear/historical interpretation of the scriptures as the "letter that killeth" (see 2 Cor 3:6).

  Symbols Of Esoteric Knowledge: What is Esoteric Knowledge?   Why does Esoteric Knowledge exist?  Jesus taught that the Kingdom is within you -- beyond the vision of man's physical outward looking vision and organic understanding -- which means that the knowledge of the Inner Kingdom is Esoteric -- and can only be revealed to those who seek the Kingdom in the inner depths of their Mind and Consciousness.  From a New Covenant perspective, what the Essenes portrayed as the Teacher of Righteousness was an alias for the Mind of God that the Greeks portrayed as the Logos, and the Ebionites portrayed as the Son of God which they called the True Prophet that Jesus commanded his disciples and followers to seek out (see The One Teacher http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheOneTeacher ) as their ONLY teacher.   The Essene Elders who understood all of what such men as Pythagoras, Bruno and Gurdjieff understood with respect to the Natural Laws, concealed much of their sacred knowledge within the allegory of the Books of Enoch.  And with the advent of the man Jesus who fulfilled the Laws within his own mind and being (see The Essene Foundation Of Judaism And Christianity @ http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#EsseneFoundation ), this body of esoteric self-knowledge was transferred into the Original Gospels (see http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ).  The Essenes were portrayed as a people who perpetually studied the scriptures -- and they did this because they understood the embedded power of the symbols and catalysts that possess the power to transform, expand and deepen the organic consciousness of man beyond organic human limitations.   Why would they perpetually study the same scriptures?  Because as their comprehension increased through the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening, more and more knowledge was revealed to them through the working of the catalysts embedded in the scriptures.  The Encyclopedia Britannica quotes Philo of Alexandria with respect to the Essenes and Therapute: They read the Holy Scriptures, from which they sought wisdom by treating them as allegorical, believing that the words of the literal text were symbols of something hidden”.  And the spiritual meaning of the scriptures can only be revealed through the interaction of the Linear/male and Intuitive/female Spheres of Mind (see The Trinity - Divine Pattern - Linear vs Intuitive Development Of The Mind http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org/#Trinity ). 

In order to create scriptures that was appropriate for the common people who had never begun the process of mental transformation, the authors of the scriptures re-engineered the common beliefs of the people -- many of which beliefs can rightly be portrayed as being founded upon myth or folklore.  But what is myth and folklore?  In many instances it is comprised of non-physical supernatural realities that can only be envisioned Intuitively through Imagination in a reality beyond man's physical understanding of life.   And when these supernatural realities beyond physical limitations are understood as allegorical accounts of Higher Mind that can be brought about in the Consciousness of the Enlightened person who has achieved  Wholeness, then what is figuratively portrayed as myth and folklore becomes a higher reality that must be achieved.  Jesus said: "Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these" (John 14:12).  Why can't Christians fulfill this Gospel promise?  Because they fail to apply the gospels as the Key of Knowledge, and they fail to perform the necessary works and miracles within their own mind and being as they become resurrected into the Inner Kingdom. Having failed to fulfill the Gospel, they neither are sincere believers or worthy of the Lord as stated in the words: “And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matt 10:38-39). Having failed to fulfill the works and miracles within them, they are complacent and therefore not sincere believers.  

The final product of re-engineered myths and folklore contained a series of symbols and catalysts that connected their normal organic human consciousness with a higher level of consciousness that exists within all of mankind, and ultimately an Inner Source of Knowledge and Truth that exceeds all the cumulative knowledge of mankind throughout all the ages that mankind has walked the face of the earth.  Thus, we have the paradoxical foundational paradigms: Is the mind of an infant empty and in need of being taught the wisdom of man?  Or does the infant possess an inner Source of Knowledge that is Superior to the wisdom of this world?  The infant empty-mind foundational paradigm is representative of the Old Covenant -- and the infant full foundational paradigm is the New Covenant.  Thus, in the re-engineered versions of scripture, what we are presented with is the basis of the infant-full mindset.  

When you teach in the traditional manner, you disseminate information to the Linear spheres of mind in order to instruct them through what has been portrayed as rote-programming.  This is defined as "The process of learning or committing something to memory through mechanical repetition, usually by hearing and repeating aloud, often without full attention to comprehension or thought for the meaning."  The problem with this type of traditional learning and instruction is seen in the fact that, you can't expand normal human consciousness beyond organic human limitations through traditional Linear (rote) programming.   Why?  What we fail to understand is the fact that the framework of the scriptures is built upon an infant full-mind foundation -- which equates all wisdom and knowledge of this world as being at best incomplete, with most of it portrayed as fool's-gold -- and like fool's gold, the wisdom and knowledge of this world presents a superficial resemblance to actual knowledge.   Therefore, the reality of the scriptures is in the fact that they were designed to overcome the limitations of linear (rote) learning and instruction by providing the person a path to acquire to genuine knowledge and truth.   To the degree that what is portrayed as scriptural writings were intentionally designed to inhibit traditional Linear (rote) learning -- and blocks were inserted into the literal text that forced the reader/student to look beyond the linear interpretation of the written text.  And while it is true that the common person does not readily understand this reality of the scriptures, that does not mean that their ignorance will negate the process of inner development.  Which means that if you are intelligent enough to question the validity of the literal text, the question then becomes whether you possess the intuitive insight to seek the deeper meaning?   And when the purpose and objectives of the scriptures are truly understood, it is this development of the Intuitive spheres of mind that is the primary objective of the sacred writings.  

In the same way that elementary students cannot comprehend advanced mathematics, in order to create scriptures that were appropriate for the common people who had never begun the process of mental development and transformation beyond organic human comprehension, the authors of the scriptures re-engineered the common beliefs of the people -- many of which beliefs can rightly be portrayed as being founded upon myth or folklore.   Why?  If you attempted to teach a group of people truths that were new, contrary to, or in conflict with their beliefs they already hold, they would either (1) immediately reject what was being presented to them; and/or (2) Linear rote programming of new material would fail to develop the Intuitive spheres of mind and bring about the connection to the Inner Source of Higher Knowledge that ALREADY exists within each of us.   Therefore, it is imperative to begin the development process by presenting a foundational environment that the people can embrace and begin the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening.

Development beyond the natural limits of organic human consciousness, requires a balance and union of opposites within the mind of the person -- i.e., Linear and Intuitive, earthly and heavenly, inner and outer -- as expressed in the statement in the Gospel of Thomas as to when the Kingdom would come within the mind of the INDIVIDUAL seeker: "Jesus said to them, When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; ...then will you enter the kingdom."  Therefore, in order to bring about the mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening of the mind of the person beyond organic human limitations, it is imperative to work within the framework of that person's existing beliefs.  And from an infant mind-full perspective, it is this working within the person's existing framework of mind that creates the final product of re-engineered myths and folklore containing a series of symbols and catalysts that connects their normal organic consciousness with both a higher level of consciousness that exists within all of mankind, and ultimately connects the person to an Inner Source of Knowledge and Truth that exceeds all the cumulative knowledge of mankind throughout all the ages that mankind has walked the face of the earth (see The One Teacher http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheOneTeacher ). 

Unless the interaction of opposites -- i.e., male/linear with female/intuitive, upper heavenly with lower earthly and inner and outer is brought about -- it will remain impossible to evolve the mind of the person beyond what can be portrayed as organic human consciousness (see Animal-Soul http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#animal ).  Teaching the person new information, is little more than traditional linear rote programming that further alienates them from their Inner Source of Mind and Being.   In order to evolve the mind of the person beyond the limits of organic human consciousness, you must work within the framework of their existing beliefs and foundational mindset -- re-engineering their existing beliefs with symbols and catalysts that Intuitively connect the Inner and the Outer. 

While the people accepted and embraced the writings because on the surface they appeared to confirm and support their beliefs which their culture has previously embraced, the changes made in the re-engineering process opened the door to a depth of mind and spirit that is not at all understood by those who see only the surface of the text.  And this reality is expressed by the Jewish mystic in the Zohar where it states: “The narratives of the doctrine are its cloak. The simple look only on the garment, that is upon the narrative of the doctrine; more they know not.  The instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but what the cloak covers”.   The Jewish mystic who spends his life seeking the inner meaning of the written word that the natural mind of man is incapable of seeing, has warned: "Thus the tales related in the Torah are simply her outer garments, and woe to the man who regards that outer garb as the Torah itself, for such a man will be deprived of portion in the next world..." (the Zohar quoted in No Jew Has Read The Torah).  

  The One Teacher: Jesus commanded his disciples and followers to have One Teacher: "But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have One Teacher, and you are all brethren" (Matt 23:8 RSV).   The Essenes portrayed this One Teacher as the Teacher of Righteousness.  The Ebionite Nazirenes portrayed him as the True Prophet.  The Greeks portrayed him as the Logos -- or Word of God.  Each of these portray the Mind of God that is at the very Core and Essence of our Consciousness -- which has also been portrayed as the Son of God.  The Gentile Christians were too carnal to understand the Gospels, and they replaced the historical man Jesus with the actual incarnation of the Son of God.  In the same way that the carnal Gentile converts could not understand the man Jesus entering into a Coverture-Union with the indwelling Son of God (see Coverture-Marriage - Was Jesus God? http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CovertureMarriage ), in the corruption of Islam, the man Mohammed replaced the Indwelling True Prophet that all of mankind must seek out as the One Teacher (see The Universal Path Of TheWay http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheUniversalPathOfTheWay ).    

With respect to this ONE TEACHER that is Universal to all religions that the followers of Jesus were commanded to seek out exclusively, in the Homilies of his disciple Clement the Apostle Peter taught that the One Teacher who they portrayed as the True Prophet, is within the mind of all mankind.  Thus, Peter is quoted as stating: "...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 Peter is stating is that while the True Prophet exists at the core of the mind of all of mankind, (1) "...in those who have no desire of the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He is inoperative"; (2) "...But He is soon found by those who diligently seek Him through love of the truth"; (3) that the True Prophet "...deserts malevolent minds, because as a prophet He knows the thoughts of every one"; (4) that we cannot find the True Prophet on our own as stated that "...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"; (5) and that to draw nearer and find the Indwelling True Prophet, the seeker must "...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”.   When rightly understood, to find and learn from the Indwelling True Prophet, the seeker must become the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower and the Seed (see http://Messianic.Nazirene.org/sower_seed.html ).  And in the parable of the Sower and the Seed, the same seed that is cast into the ground that is properly prepared and produces in levels of abundance ("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” ), is unable to germinate and produce when the ground in which it has been cast is not properly prepared ("...but He deserts malevolent minds ...in those who have no desire of the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He is inoperative").  

One may ask: Isn't the scriptures composed in order to teach the person what they need to know?  No!  The scriptures are designed to develop the mind and bring about the necessary condition of Wholeness that enables the person to begin to be taught by the indwelling Logos/Son of God that the historical man Jesus entered into a Coverture-Union with (see Coverture-Marriage - Was Jesus God? http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CovertureMarriage ).  In further explanation of this Inner Source of Truth and Knowledge which the original followers of Jesus portrayed as the True Prophet, Peter cautions the seeker and states with respect to reading and studying the scriptures that "...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".  What this means is that there can be no valid interpretation from a human perspective.   It means that all the historical interpretations set forth in the pulpits across Christendom, are all preaching grave error.   And these preachers of the Gospel are the blind guides that Jesus portrayed as the "spawn of the devil" who leading the people in the wrong direction (see Christianity - The Devil's Spawn http://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com ).   Therefore, in view of the fact that the true follower of Jesus is barred from seeking "...a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without" -- as set forth by Peter in the Homilies of Clement it is portrayed as 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" (see Baptism - The Required Wedding Garment http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#TheWeddingGarment ) -- which Wedding Garment when Pure, enables each seeker to enter into the same Coverture-Union with the Indwelling Logos/Son of God that Jesus did (see The Foundation Of A Coverture-Marriage http://BrotherOfJesus.org#FoundationOfCovertureMarriage )  What this means is that because the modern Church has embraced the dogma of pagan Rome and rejects the foundational teaching to be taught only from the True Prophet within them (see The True Prophet ), they have caused themselves to be "...withdrawn from God the Father and Creator of all, receiving another teacher besides Christ".   From an Original Gospel perspective, there can be no valid interpretation of the scriptures drawn from another person, a rabbi or teacher, an authority of a Church, or from one of the countless Bible commentaries.  Why?    Because the scriptures are not historical accounts -- and every aspect of the scriptures are "allegorical ...symbols of something hidden”.    Which is why Jesus had to open the mind of the disciples to reveal and enable them to see and understand the real and spiritual meaning of the allegorical scriptures -- i.e., "Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures" (Luke 24:45).   And those who embrace the literal text is exactly as portrayed by Paul portrayed them as the "letter that killeth [and] Jewish folktales" (see 2 Cor 3:6; Titus 1:14). 

The Apostle Peter states that it is a sin to seek out a teacher other than the Indwelling True Prophet.  Does it matter?  With respect to a person consciously sinning Paul warned: "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).  Those who seek out a teacher other than the Indwelling Logos/Son of God -- embracing an historical interpretation of the scriptures in the manner of the Jews, instead of using the Gospels as the Key of Knowledge to unlock the mind (see The Application Of The Key Of Knowledge http://KeyOfKnowledge.org#ApplicationOfTheKeyOfKnowledge ) -- rejects the very foundation of the New Covenant (“I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest” [Heb 8:10-11) -- and therefore they are not believers because they "...crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt".

If we ask the question: What is being said to the believer who desires to be faithful to the Gospel Teachings?   What we have in the foregoing is the confirmation of the New Covenant Principles that few modern believers understand the spiritual reality of.  In the same way that the believer is commanded to seek out the One Teacher, and the commandment that "...when the law of God (scriptures) is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind" -- it is being stated that there is only One Source of Truth -- and that the wisdom of man will misguide the seeker.   By design, human reasoning is embryonic, and is incapable of understanding both the higher reality of the Soul and the true meaning of the scriptures -- i.e., "...therefore great care is to be taken, that when the law of God is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind."   Why?  Because the literal text is allegorical and designed to bring about the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening of the mind that evolves the person beyond organic human limitations.  And Peter also warns that neither should you listen to other men's gravely flawed interpretations of the scriptures -- i.e., "...For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without".   Why?  Jesus taught that there is only one Source of Truth, and the disciple/seeker must learn directly from that One Teacher.   And thus, these words which are representative of the core Gospel teachings, are inconceivable to the modern faith-based believer who are divided and by virtue of their carnal mindset and lifestyle, have been disenfranchised from the very essence and objectives of the Gospel teachings -- overwhelmed and anchored to a carnal mindset that is of the "outer darkness" (see http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org ) -- spiritually disenfranchised by innumerable manmade opinions, factions and sects which totally alienate the believer from the Truth and the Kingdom within.

The Apostle Peter states that while the True Prophet is within the minds of all mankind, there are certain conditions that must be present in order to begin to learn from the Inner Source of Mind and Being -- i.e., "but in those who have no desire of the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He is inoperative".   And this fact of human reality was expressed by the priest Giordano Bruno who was burnt as the stake by the Church when he stated: "The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it".  And while the True Prophet and the Source of Light and Truth exists within the mind of everyone of us, Peter warns that  "...He is soon found by those who diligently seek Him through love of the truth".   Which provokes the questions: What is the love of the Truth?   If a supposed believer clings to the corrupted words of the Church (see The Corruption Of The Words Of God http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CorruptionOfGodsWords ), does this constitute a genuine "...love of the truth"?  No, not at all -- which is why the modern Christian remains spiritually immature and disenfranchised. 

In making reference to The True Prophet who Jesus portrayed as the One Teacher within one's own mind that must be sought out, Peter warns that: "Hence, O beloved Clement, if you would know the things pertaining to God, you have to learn them from Him alone, because He alone knows the truth."  Which provokes the question: What about the scriptures?  Contrary to what many believe, the scriptures are not themselves the Word of God -- but rather, the scriptures are a map of our own mind -- i.e., a blueprint of our Consciousness - that details how to find the Word of God -- in accord with the New Covenant, within you.  And this is why Peter warned in the Homilies of his disciple Clement: "...therefore great care is to be taken, that when the law of God is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind. For there are many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived for himself; and this ought not to be done. For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without". (see The Spiritual Disenfranchisement Of The Mind).    And in the same way that present-day Christianity is a religion of innumerable teachers and almost countless sects and factions, the reality of these words are totally incomprehensible to the modern Church.   Yet, these words are not only representative of the very core foundation of the Gospel teachings, but they are representative of the original objectives of the New Covenant. 

  The Purpose Of The Scriptures: In the teaching that the True Prophet (a.k.a. Logos and Son of God) is at the Core of our mind and being (see The One Teacher http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheOneTeacher ), what this means is that we must begin to develop the necessary depth of mind that enables us to begin to tap into this Inner Source of Knowledge.  And this depth can only be brought about, through Wholeness.  Which means that so long as our thinking is only through the outward looking linear spheres of mind, it will remain impossible to develop the necessary Wholeness to Know Thyself, and ultimately Know God. 

In their original condition the Gospels contained important spiritual teachings and concepts that developed the inward Intuitive spheres of mind -- enabling the seeker to begin to balance the outward looking Linear spheres -- in preparation for the seeker/disciple to employ the process of Anamnesis (The Innate Knowledge Of The Truth Of All Truths: http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#Innate ), to begin to connect with the True Prophet at the Core and Essence of their Mind and Being -- and it is this inner connection that is the objective of the New Covenant Gospels.   By developing the latent Intuitive areas of mind, this prepares the seeker/believer to receive the Divine Manna of the Kingdom ( The Foundation of the New Covenant http://BrotherOfJesus.org#NewCovenant ).   Therefore, the Gospels were not themselves the Word of God or the Sacred Knowledge portrayed as the Divine Manna.   No one could read the Gospels and perceive the Divine Manna.  Because the Gospels were a text-book on the transformational changes that the seeker/disciple had to bring about in their own lives to begin to receive the Divine Manna that can only be imparted to a seeker in accord with their condition and ability to receive the Spiritual Nourishment (Knowledge) that can only be received directly from God.    But because modern man has permitted himself to become alienated from his True-Self, and Spiritually Disenfranchised by virtue of the rote programming of the Linear spheres of mind, the suppression of the Intuitive spheres of mind (see The Mental Cause Of Gender Violence http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#GenderViolence ), and the fact that the Churches have embraced the error of the Jews in throwing away the Key of Knowledge when reading and interpreting the scriptures, the whole of our thinking has been rendered mentally flat-lined.

The purpose of the Gospels and the foundation of the New Covenant is to connect each person to the One Teacher as the Source of all Knowledge -- and the body of believers is proof that the Churches have failed in their mission.  How, the fact that each group promotes a different doctrine -- and no authority within the Church can explain why -- demonstrates the abject failure of the Church.   What we fail to realize today is the fact that there can be no divisions and sects in a Living Religion -- where there is One Leader and One Teacher that all genuine disciples have access to. By Divine Decree, the followers of Jesus were to have no divisions, sects, or independent opinions among the believers because the Lord promised that each “…shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd” (John 10:16). It is for this reason the Apostle cautioned Titus to “Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned” (Titus 3:10-11). The Greek meaning of the word divisive is “one who promotes a sect”. It was for this reason the religion of the Messiah/Christ can have no worldly name, and this is seen in the fact that it was called “The Way”. -- i.e.,  "I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of The Way" (Acts 24:14).  TheWay meaning the path by which each follower of Jesus fulfills the Gospel and as the prodigal son/daughter, consciously returns to the Edenic Kingdom -- thereby achieving the mandate to be in the world and not of it -- i.e., Thereby fulfilling the statement: "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom" (Matt 16:28 SEE The End Times - Armageddon/Rapture - The Coming Of The Kingdom http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#EndTimes ).

Writing about schisms and divisions, the Church Father Turtillian writes: “On this point, however, we dwell no longer, since it is the same Paul who, in his Epistle to the Galatians, counts 'heresies' among 'the sins of the flesh,' who also intimates to Titus, that 'a man who is a heretic' must be 'rejected after the first admonition,' on the ground that 'he that is such is perverted, and committeth sin, as a self-condemned man.' Indeed, in almost every epistle, when enjoining on us (the duty) of avoiding false doctrines, he sharply condemns heresies. Of these the practical effects are false doctrines, called in Greek heresies, a word used in the sense of that choice which a man makes when he either teaches them (to others) or takes up with them (for himself). For this reason it is that he calls the heretic self-condemned, because he has himself chosen that for which he is condemned”.  In the gospel preached by Paul, heresy is considered a “sin of the flesh”, because schisms and divisions are the result of natural man clinging to ideas of a carnal nature. Why are these baptized and committed Christians plagued by schisms and divisions? Because they only call upon the Lord with their lips, while failing to do as the Apostle states by following in TheWay and “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature” (Col 3:5).  We must therefore turn from the understanding of the flesh, or in the words of the Apostle: “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” (Rom 8:6). The religion of Christ was one of the spirit -- and Paul taught the Gentile believers not to look to the historical man Jesus, but rather the indwelling Spiritual Living Messiah/Christ as their savior and revealer of truth: “Therefore from now on we recognize no man according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according o the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer” (2 Cor 5:16). This Spiritual Messiah/Christ, over the historical man Jesus in the flesh, was what biblical scholar Rudolf Bultmann was speaking of when he concluded that the “…Christian faith is, and should be, comparatively uninterested in the historical Jesus and centered instead on the transcendent Christ” (Encyclopedia Britannica).

Every schism and doctrinal faction is built upon an historical interpretation of the Gospels.  So long as Christians continue to read the Gospels as historical accounts, instead of events and accounts of the Mind that opens the inner "narrow gate" of the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21) -- thereby failing to develop those inward areas of the mind that is necessary to connect to the One Teacher ( http://GospelCosmology.Ebionite.com#TheOneTeacher ) -- they will continue to remain spiritually disenfranchised and lost on the "broad-way" of self-destruction.   When the Apostle Peter warned at the preceding link that "...when the law of God (scriptures) is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind", that means that when the Gospels are interpreted historically, then the interpretation is carnal and wrong.  And it is in this carnal interpretation that Paul portrayed as being the victim of the  "letter that killeth [and] Jewish folktales" (see 2 Cor 3:6; Titus 1:14).  

Once a person has become mentally locked into a belief or mindset, regardless of the facts presented or the intellectual arguments to support the facts are made, it is extremely difficult to convey the facts to them in a rational and intelligent manner that they will accept.  In most instances, they will attack the messenger instead of examining the facts.  And if these people are members of a group -- either church or philosophical/cultural school of thinking -- it is virtually impossible to open their minds to embrace the facts.    Therefore, unless a Fact or a Truth is made appropriate to the thinking of the people it is intended to reach, then its propagation will be useless. 

  The Words of the Devil: In the above I demonstrate that there is only One Teacher for the people of the New Covenant.  The greatest error of the Gentile-Church which portrayed itself as Orthodox, was made when they attached their religion to the Old Testament of the Jews -- portraying the Jews as the forerunner of the Church.  Why did the Church do this?   To provide the Church with a false and counterfeit facade of authenticity -- but what is known as Replacement Theology has been one of the primary causes of the demise of Christianity.   Yet, the Gospel account of Jesus correctly portrays the Jews as the offspring of the Devil when the question is posed by Jesus: "Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word"  As to why the Jews could not understand spiritual teachings and concepts, Jesus explained: "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:43-44). 

To understand the words as translated in the Berean Study Bible where it reads: "...When he lies, he speaks his native language", what is not at all understood is that all the words and languages of mankind -- because of their carnal foundation that is a one-sided fragment of the Wholeness of the Higher Spiritual Language of the Soul, all the words that man speaks with his human voice can be defined as a lie, because of its lack of wholeness.   As stated above, The Encyclopedia Britannica quotes Philo of Alexandria with respect to the Essenes and Therapute: "They read the Holy Scriptures, from which they sought wisdom by treating them as allegorical, believing that the words of the literal text were symbols of something hidden”.  In the same way that the above quoted statement of Jerome regarding the Gospels written in Biblical Hebrew Characters that "...and its text they related some one way and some another", parallels the above statement how the Essene/Therapeute  ...read the Holy Scriptures, from which they sought wisdom by treating them as allegorical, believing that the words of the literal text were symbols of something hidden”.   And it is important to recognize that these statements when placed side by side confirm the statement of the Apostle Peter as quoted by his disciple Clement in the Homilies that "...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".          

Again, quoting the Berean Study Bible for 1 Cor 2:12-13 where it states: "We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words."   It is impossible to convey "spiritual truths" in the language of man which is portrayed above as the words presented in the "native language" of the Devil.   Why is the languages of mankind the words of the Devil?  What is portrayed in the foregoing as  symbols of something hidden” which "...text they related some one way and some another", when understood in Wholeness -- drawing from the Intuitive Spheres of Mind the meaning that the Logos/True Prophet provides for the symbols -- presents to the seeker/disciple the "...words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words."   
When the Apostle Peter in the Homilies of his disciple Clement is quoted as commanding that, "...when the law of God (scriptures) is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind" -- because of the lack of Wholeness, all interpretations of the scriptures "...according to the understanding of our own mind", must be understood as incomplete and defined as the lies, [of the Devil's] native language".  And all the doctrines which Christians attempt to teach other Christians the interpretative-meaning of the scriptures -- holding bible study to teach the meaning -- using commentaries that present "...a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without", are all based upon the words and understanding of mankind that lacks the necessary Wholeness to comprehend the spiritual meaning of the scriptures.  Anyone who attempts to teach another person the meaning and interpretation of the scriptures, is a minister and servant of the Anti-Christ.  Why?  Because when you teach the interpretative-meaning of the scriptures as is done in many Bible study groups, you negate the embedded symbols, and inhibit the catalysts that are designed to overcome the person's Spiritual Amnesia -- thereby defeating the very purpose of the scriptures.  Moreover, by undermining the purpose of the embedded symbols and catalysts when you teach a person the meaning of the scriptures, you are inhibiting that person from connecting with the Inner Source of Knowledge within them, which is one of the primary objectives of the New Covenant teachings. 

  The Spiritual Castration Of The Gospels: Spiritually immature people always attempt to interpret the scriptures outwardly -- i.e., literally and historically -- thereby throwing away the Key of Knowledge ( http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ).  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 Gentiles outside of the original Ebionite/Nazirene core of disciples and followers of 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."

The truth and the facts of 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.   With regard to the condition of the Bible we presently use: In his book The Text of the New Testament, Dr. Vincent Taylor writes that "The manuscripts of the New Testament preserve traces of two kinds of dogmatic alterations: those which involve the elimination or alteration of what was regarded as doctrinally unacceptable or inconvenient, and those which introduce into the Scriptures proof for a favorite theological tenet or practice".  To put Dr. Taylor's words in perspective: What Dr. Taylor is stating is that, whatever doctrine Jesus taught which the Church of the Roman Empire did not agree with, there is overwhelming evidence that the church corrupters removed what was objectionable from their perspective. 

It can be easily understood why the Ebionite/Nazirene disciples of Jesus not only did not give the Greek converts who edited and corrupted the text of their scriptures, but they also withheld the most spiritual and important scriptures to be preserved only 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).

When Peter wrote to Jacob/James that "...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" -- the discordances and inconsistencies, as well as the historical untruths, all of which were intentionally inserted into the text for an ultra-important reason.   And with the removal of these discordances by the scribes of the Gentile Church, the scriptures suffered a loss of their effectiveness in relation to their true purpose and objective.   But just as important is the statement that  "...Wherefore they charge no one to teach, unless he has first learned how the Scriptures must be used".   And herein lies the problem: The modern Christian is absolutely clueless as to "...how the Scriptures must be used"!!!   And thus, because of this state of abject ignorance in conjunction with the editing and removal of what is portrayed as the discordances and many of the most important original Gospel teachings, the Church has rendered the study of the Gospels virtually worthless.   In the words of the Church Father Origen: “Scripture contains an unhistorical element in-woven with the history, in order that the worthlessness of the latter may drive us to seek the spiritual meaning” (Origen quoted under Origen Adamntius; The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics).  The authors of the scriptures did not compose historical accounts -- but because of the inability of the faith-based believers to comprehend their own higher Soul and Spiritual reality, the faith-based Christians possess no understanding that authors used a quasi-historical cloak to allegorically present important teachings and concepts that could not be comprehended by the human organic "natural" level of mind.   And what Peter portrays as the "discordances" of the scriptures -- what Origen correctly portrays as the "...unhistorical element in-woven with the history" -- not only inhibits the person from reading the scriptures literally/historically -- but in most instances presents an ultra-important spiritual truth.  But when the faith-based Gentile Church attempted to correct these discordances and unhistorical events, they ignorantly inhibited the process of mental expansion and spiritual development which was and is the primary purpose the scriptures were written.   And with the editing and corrupting of the scriptures, this caused them to remain permanently bound to what the Church Father Origen portrayed as the fate of the immature Christian when he stated that the elementary "testimony" of Christ was “...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).   Leading a better life was the beginning of the Gospel teachings -- evolving and becoming spiritually transformed was the primary objective.

To the people who Paul had taught the Gospel message, Paul confessed that "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ" (1 Cor 3:1) -- yet, he also stated that "However, we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nothing" (1 Cor 2:6).  In their original condition and format, the scriptures were designed to evolve those who Paul portrays as being of an organic "natural" human consciousness (see Animal-Soul), into the "spiritually mature/perfect" transformed consciousness that enables the seeker/disciple to receive the Divine Manna directly form the Indwelling Logos/Son of God.   And with respect to the true purpose and objective of the scriptures, the statement of Peter's that is not at all understood today -- i.e, "...Wherefore they charge no one to teach, unless he has first learned how the Scriptures must be used" -- is parallel to a statement of Peter in the Homilies of his disciple Clement where Peter is quoted as explaining with respect to a discussion on the nature of the scriptures when Simon Magus stated to Peter: “Then said Simon: 'You are manifestly avoiding the hearing of the charge from the Scriptures against your God.'" To which Peter then replied: "'You yourself appear to me to be doing this; for he who avoids the order of inquiry, does not wish a true investigation to be made. Hence I, who proceed in an orderly manner, and wish that the writer should first be considered, am manifestly desirous to walk in a straight path’”.  

What, then, the intelligent seeker must ask, is the order of inquiry?  In these words are noted the most profound error of both Bible believers as well as the critics today who only perceive what is literally written in the narrative of the written word.   Believers see and read the scriptures in the manner predicated by their predefined doctrines of belief, while ignoring the very warning of the scriptures that it is their own perception of the Word that is in error.   Simon Magus wants to engage Peter and use the scriptures to prove that the world was created by a lesser god.   Peter states that By Design, anyone can prove almost any doctrine by using the scriptures -- and therefore, before the scriptures can be understood, the “writer should first be considered” -- which means that unless you read the scriptures in accord with their original intended purpose, you render the scriptures worthless.  Quoting one of the opening statements above in the heading of this article: "...the scriptures are exactly what the original authors intended them to be".   And if the person fails to first understand "...how the Scriptures must be used", whatever interpretation they embrace will be in grave error.

  The Creation Of The Jesus God:    The vast majority of Gentiles were imbued with Mithraic based thinking, and they worshiped Mithra as the sun-god who is reborn every Dec. 25th, and resurrected every Easter (Ishtar).  They therefore believed that Jesus was the latest (semi-human) incarnation of Mithra, and the Gospels were an historical account of the birth of the sun-god in human form who was rejected by the Jews, and was restored to his rightful place as the god of the Gentiles.   Mithrasm in the Roman Empire during the 2nd and 3rd centuries was expressed by the people in their "loyalty to the emperor."   Among the vast majority of people there was no thought of scriptures begin written as a catalyst to achieve mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening.   And that all the Gospel teachings that expressed the need to bring about spiritual maturity were edited out, removed, or corrupted -- i.e., thus the words of Prof. Bart D. Ehrman 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."  

The (Mithraic) Gentile Christians who read the Gospels as historical, were of a Serf/Subject mindset where salvation was achieved by believing in the Royal Family as portrayed in Constantine's doctrine of the Trinity.   Thus, this self-perception was in conflict with the parable of the prodigal son, which can be seen portrayed in Gospel of Thomas saying 50 which states: "Jesus said, If they say to you (plur.), 'Where are you from?' say to them, 'It is from light that we have come - from the place where light, of its own accord alone, came into existence and [stood at rest]. And it has been shown forth in their image.' If they say to you, 'Is it you?' say 'We are its offspring, and we are the chosen of the living father.' If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your father within you?' say to them, 'It is movement and repose.'"  When rightly understood, the foregoing is parallel to the statement by Jesus when he said "And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven" (Matt 23:9) -- and "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).  That the vast majority of people fail to possess Soul-Memory, and as the prodigal sons and daughters they don't remember when they began their journey when they left the Kingdom of their Heavenly Father, is because mankind is presently dwelling in the "outer darkness" of mind and being, and have been stricken with spiritual amnesia and blindness (see Soul-Evolution - Reincarnation And Soul-Development http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#SoulEvolution ).   And while the Gospels were designed to develop the mind of the seeker/disciple, and restore their Soul-Memory (see Spiritual Amnesia http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#SpiritualAmnesia ), with the editing and corruption of the Gospels by the Gentile Church -- along with the removal of the most important spiritual teachings -- the Christian world was plunged into a self-imposed Spiritual Diaspora. 

While modern Biblical scholars basically told the people the truth, the truth was and remains unacceptable to the multitude of Churches and faith-based believers.  Quoting from Examination of Modern NT Text Criticism: "Where history records that true sacred text survived this assault and is preserved in the traditional text, Westcott and Hort counter that the whole church participated in a conspiracy to fabricate a blended (and therefore corrupted) text. Westcott and Hort must not have believed the traditional Christian church to be genuine, but a sham. This thesis is supported by the biographies of Westcott and Hort. When J. F. D. Maurice was accused of false doctrine, Westcott commented that Orthodox Christians are like a new Islam persecuting a revival of the true Christians."

The massive corruption of biblical texts went to the very core of the Gospels -- i.e., “In order to make the previously despised cult of the Early Christians acceptable to Constantine, emperor of Rome – the new (pagan) Church Fathers had to remove from its teachings certain doctrines which they knew were objectionable to Constantine. To accomplish this, certain ‘correctors’ were appointed, whose task it was to rewrite the Gospels” (Apollonius the Nazarene Part 1: The Historical Apollonius Versus the Mythical Jesus By: Dr. R. W. Bernard, Ph.D.).  "Theological disputes over the trinity prompted Christian scribes to alter the words of scripture in order to make them more serviceable” (The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture BY Prof. Bart D. Ehrman).  “After the Council of Nicea, A.D. 325, the manuscripts of the New Testament were considerably tampered with by scholars, called `correctores‘, who were appointed by the ecclesiastical authorities, and actually commissioned to correct the text of the Scriptures in the interest of what was considered orthodoxy” (Archdeacon Wilberforce).  “What these `correctores‘ did was to cut out of the Gospels with 
minute care, certain teachings of our Lord which they did not propose to follow” (Gospel of the Holy Twelve by Rev. G. J. Ouseley).  One of the most common biblical manuscripts used to make our modern English translations is known today as the Nestle Text. Yet it was Prof. Eberhard Nestle himself who warned us in his Einfhrung in die Textkritik des griechischen Testaments: "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."  

Why can the adoption of the corrupted scriptures be portrayed as "...a conspiracy to fabricate a blended (and therefore corrupted) text"?   Because the Roman Emperor Constantine orchestrated a massive adoption of Christianity as the Universal Religion of the Empire -- which brought about the massive conversion of Mithraic sun-worshippers and pagans into the Roman Church.   Jesus was portrayed as the latest incarnation of the Mithraic sun-god that was born on December 25 -- which is when the sun begins to move northward from the southern hemisphere.  Constantine took the most corrupt New Testament scriptures and further edited and corrupted them to make them support the dogma of Mithraism which represented the common beliefs of the people.  The original Ebionite Nazirene disciples and followers of Jesus were condemned as heretics -- portrayed as "too Jewish" to understand the meaning of the Gospel -- i.e., “…rejected from one religion as apostates, and from the other as heretics” (Gibbon: Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, v.1, p.416).    Further, the Spiritual (Gentile) Christians who understood the important purpose of the scriptures as a catalyst to develop the mind and enable the seeker/believer to begin to receive the Divine Manna of the Kingdom, were condemned as Gnostic heretics -- hunted down, their scriptures destroyed and those who did not embrace the religion of the emperor, were put to death.   Resulting in the fact that the whole foundation of the modern Church which is based upon Original Sin, has been imported from the Mithraic based teachings of the Iranian prophet Mani, in order to explain and fill the great void that the Church suppression of important teachings on the pre-existent soul created (see Original Sin).   Thereby creating a pagan foundation to the Church that has rendered Christianity spiritually impotent.  Further quoting from Examination of Modern NT Text Criticism: "Westcott and Hort must have believed that what historians recorded as a defense against heretics was in reality a suppression of the true church. They believed that what the historians recorded as heretically corrupted texts were closer to the true autographs."  And this statement is true beyond the comprehension of the modern believer.    The more pure the copy of the Gospels, the more offensive it was from the perspective of the dogma and religion of the emperor. 

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 ).   

What this means is that neither modern day believers, non-believers, accepted scholars or critics, have absolutely any idea what Jesus really taught -- as well as the esoteric knowledge possessed by his disciples -- because the only thing that remains today, is the doctrines of the Church of Constantine.   Jesus did not intentionally hide or conceal anything from the multitude of people who could only be taught in parables -- just like there is nothing intentionally hidden or concealed in the allegorical text of the scriptures -- but rather, those whose body and minds function from an earth vibrational frequency, cannot perceive and understand the higher truths that can only be comprehended by those who have brought about the necessary Wholeness within their own mind and being.   Thus, to his disciples Jesus said: “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand” (Mark 4:11-12 KJV).   Those who are "without", are those who dwell in what Jesus called the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org ). 

  The Corruption Of The Words God Spoken To Mankind: The pre-Nicene biblical texts and the earliest of Church writers prove that at the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan river, the voice of God said:  "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee"  (see http://TheTenWords.com ).  What this means is that on the day that Jesus was baptized, he became the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) for the first time.  The Adam Clark Commentary with regard to the passage at Hebrews 1:5 which quotes the Original Words that God spoke to Mankind states that if this quotation used by Paul and also in the Book of Acts is true with respect to the words spoken of Jesus, then “...the whole Christian system is vain and baseless" -- and thus, when the Church corrupted the Words spoken to mankind by God, the congregation of believers were cast into a Spiritual Diaspora which they have yet to escape.

What is the evidence that the above is the true Words that God spoke to mankind?  In addition to the most ancient copies of the Gospels, this wording which reflected the original non-corrupted Words of God to Mankind is found in the writings of six (6) pre-Nicene Church Fathers who copied the statements of God into their own writings (see The Gentile Church Witness).  What this means is that what the original pre-Nicene Gospels therefore stated was that Jesus was a holy man who became the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) at his baptism in the Jordan.  And the fact that the copies of the scriptures that were used prior to the fourth century by the Church Fathers reflect the original words of God, demonstrate that it was the Roman Emperor Constantine who was a Mithraic sun-worshipper, demanded that the words spoken by God to mankind be changed to make them reflect the doctrines of Mithraism.  Constantine believed that Jesus was the latest incarnation of the Mithraic sun-god, and that the original disciples of Jesus and the Spiritual Christians were wrong. 

In order to prove and confirm that the Mithraic infused doctrines of the Church was not true, the Hand of God moved and we are provided the witness of the The Essenes And The Dead Sea Scrolls http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#Essene -- which the Church has continued to totally ignored.  As just one example of the facts that have been confirmed, is the witness of  Prof. John Allegro who was quoted as saying that what has been revealed in the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is a great amount of overwhelming evidence that “...may upset a great many basic teachings of the Christian Church. This in turn would greatly upset many Christian Theologians and believers. The heart of the matter is, in fact, the source and originality of Christian doctrine” (August 1966 issue of Harpers Magazine). What all the many recent archaeological discoveries have confirmed and demonstrated is that Prof. Allegro was correct in his assertion that our modern-day understanding of “the source and originality of Christian doctrine” is defective -- and the doctrines of the modern Church have virtually nothing in common with the Original Gospel teachings (see http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ). 

Those who walked and talked daily with the man Jesus, had nothing in common with the Mithraic based doctrines of the modern Church.  Why?  Because their understanding was in perfect harmony with the Words that God spoke to mankind at Jesus' baptism in the Jordan.  Historically, those who were taught directly by the man Jesus understood that he was a Holy Man who fulfilled the Law within his own Mind and Being, and became At-One with the Indwelling Logos (aka Son of God).  These original disciples and followers of Jesus who walked and talked with him daily, were known as Ebionites and Nazirenes http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#Ebionite -- meaning the "poor ones" to the thinking and ways of this world who strove to fulfill the adage to be in the world and not of it.  In the same way that Jesus 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) -- and his disciples understood that Jesus became the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) by fulfilling the spiritual meaning and essence of the Law within his own mind and being -- i.e., quoting the Church writer Hippolytus on the Ebionites: 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).   One of the most important elements to this original teaching was not only that Jesus was a man who became of an Enlightened Anointed Mind (Christ/Messiah) by fulfilling the Law within his own mind and being, but also that if  "...any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ" -- and this ultra-important teaching is reflective of the Words that God spoke to mankind when the man Jesus became the first of the prodigal sons to become At-One with the Indwelling Logos/Son of God - which set the example and standard for all other prodigal sons and daughters to follow.   With respect to the Ebionites, it is documented that the mother and brothers of Jesus were Ebionites -- and because they were faithful to the words that God spoke to mankind, the historian portrays them as being “…rejected from one religion as apostates, and from the other as heretics” (Gibbon: Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, v.1, p.416).  Anyone who embraces the Original Teachings of the Gospel today, will be rejected and banned from the Churches (see The Reality Of The Original Gospels http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ).

  Turn About And Become As a Child: In the Gospels, Jesus places particular attention and importance on Children who are often referred to as the "little ones".   Believers are warned that if they fail to "turn about", and become as a child, they cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven (Mt 18:3; 19:14).   But this provokes a number of important questions: What does it mean to "turn about", and become as a child? 

The Question: Did the Original Gospel teachings survive beyond the first century?  It is easily demonstrated that the first century Christians understood an important spiritual concept that is totally foreign to the modern believer (see The Gospel Enigma That Modern Christians Can't Comprehend http://GospelOfThomas.Nazirene.org#GospelEnigma ).  And it is demonstrated that the Gospel of Thomas saying 22 was at one time the foundational centerpiece of Gospel teachings on the End Times and the Coming of the Kingdom.  The question was posed to Jesus by his disciples: "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?"  Which should provoke the questions: Why were the disciples of Jesus portrayed as "children"?   Jesus taught that unless you are "born again", it will remain impossible to enter the Kingdom.  At the subheading entitled The Importance Of The Children http://BrotherOfYeshua.com/children.htm#importance , it is demonstrated the extent of the massive corruption in all four Gospels that was brought about to remove certain important teachings on the Children.   Which raises the question: What was it about the teachings on the children that offended the dogma of that part of the Church that portrayed itself as Orthodox?  It was spiritually noted to me that when the Church corrupted the Gospels, the remnants of the teaching on the Children could easily prove that the Gospels had been both corrupted, and important teachings removed.   Which means that because the remnant of corruption is so easily detected, that virtually anyone can open any translation of the Gospels and easily confirm that an important teaching that is paramount to entering the Kingdom had been corrupted and removed.  In the case of the Gospel of Luke, there are presently eight chapters separating the initial reference to the children in Luke 9:47-48, with the remaining verses pertaining to the children which now are found in the seventeenth chapter at Luke 17:48.  And anyone who believes that the author of Luke wrote the Gospel with seven (7) chapters dividing and separating the teaching on the children -- or that, the proverbial Hand of God protected the Gospels from being corrupted -- or, that it doesn't matter that the reader understand this teaching with enough depth to fulfill it in their lives -- is simply mentally numb.   And the fact that this corruption of the Gospel is so easily detected, means that no one has an excuse -- and any Bible reader can prove the editing of the teachings on the children using any Bible that exits today.  It was also pointed out that because of this easily discernable remnant, that all Christians are responsible for not pointing out the massive corruption of the Gospels -- and demanding that they be provided pure original copies of the Gospel (see  Can I Get An Original Pure Copy Of The Scriptures http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#PureCopyOfScriptures ). 

If we pose the question as to what teaching was of such importance that it had to be totally removed from the canonical Gospels?  The answer can be found at the subheading: The Missing Verse Removed From The Gospels http://BrotherOfYeshua.com/children.htm#TheMissingVerse .  And while it was a simple message, the teaching supported the original foundational paradigm of the Gospel teachings which totally undermined the corrupted doctrines of the fourth century Church of Rome.  And this suppressed teaching read: "For there are some children, which were so born from their mother's womb; And there are some who God returned, and were made the children of men; And there be children, who have made themselves children for the kingdom of heaven's sake."  But to understand the significance of this suppressed teaching, you must understand why Jesus placed such emphasis on "turning about", and becoming a child -- even warning in Mt 18:6 and Mk 9:42 where it is stated that: "But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea".   When the teaching on the children is understood, the question must be asked: In view of the removed teaching, does this warning apply to those who are children from their mother's womb?  Or does this message of severity apply to those "...who have made themselves children for the kingdom of heaven's sake"?  

You must further understand the significance of Jesus' answer to the disciples in the Gospel of Thomas when they posed the question: "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?"  And then understand Jesus' answer when he replied: Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; ...then will you enter the kingdom."   And the fact that it is easily demonstrated that the Christians of the first century knew and understood this requirement that Jesus set forth in order to enter the Kingdom (see http://GospelOfThomas.Nazirene.org#GospelEnigma ), demonstrates that the corruption of the Gospels -- which corruption was necessary in order to support the gravely flawed foundational paradigm of fourth century Pagan Rome -- has made it impossible for the modern Christian to understand the original purpose and objective of the Gospels, as well as to gain entrance into the Kingdom.  

That the foregoing teaching which is contained in the Gospel of Thomas saying 22 was important to the first century followers of Jesus, is demonstrated in  The Second Epistle of Clement where this ultra-important teaching that was removed from the Gospels modern Christians use is quoted as stating: “Let us expect, therefore, hour by hour, the kingdom of God in love and righteousness, since we know not the day of the appearing of God. For the Lord Himself, being asked by one when His kingdom would come, replied, 'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.   What Clement -- the disciple of Peter who is claimed by the Church as the fourth pope in succession of Peter -- is stating in accord with the Original teachings, is that when the seeker/believer brings this condition about within their own Mind and Being, that the predicted and expected Kingdom will come within them as promised -- as stated in Jesus' teachings on the Key of Knowledge (see The End Times - Armageddon/Rapture - The Coming Of The Kingdom http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#EndTimes  ).

It is important to recognize that when Clement wrote the above words of Jesus in his Epistle to a congregation of Christians, he did so in the expectation that the people to whom he was writing would understand the great truths he was presenting to them.   That the Kingdom, or End Times, would and could only come when "...two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.   And the fact that this statement that is in the Gospel of Thomas and was contained in a first century Epistle from an elder to a congregation of believers in that time-frame, COULD NOT IN ANY MEASURE be contained and understood in a letter or epistle to a congregation today, is merely one example of the fact that the dogma and thinking of the modern Church has virtually nothing in common with the original teachings of Jesus known as TheWay (see The Original Teachings Have Nothing In Common With Church Dogma http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#OriginalTeachings ).   Which provokes the question: Has the requirements to enter the Kingdom changed in order to accommodate the dogmatic corruption of the Church?   Has Truth and Higher Spiritual Reality been discarded and thrown away, because the Church threw this body of essential Knowledge pertaining to the Coming of the Kingdom away?   Or, does modern Christians dwell in a self-imposed Diaspora of abject Spiritual Ignorance which was brought about by the massive corruption of the scriptures (see BibleCorruption.com ), and the suppression of the body of essential knowledge that is necessary to restore the lost prodigal son to his rightly place in the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.

When Jesus conveyed to Nicomedus that "...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" -- and when Nicomedus did not understand the threefold process of birth, Jesus then asked how Nicodemus could be called a teacher, and not know these spiritual realities: "...Nicodemus answered and said to Him, How can these things be?  Jesus answered and said to him, Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?  It is important to grasp the reality of the words that when Nicodemus did not grasp the reality of achieving the next stage of birth, that Jesus replied:   Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.  If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" (John 3:1-12 NKJ).  Thus, if the next stage of birth was brought about by saying a prayer to the Jesus-god created by fourth century pagan Rome -- or, the sinners prayer as is commonly practiced by modern Christians -- then Jesus would not have replied to Nicodemus in this manner.   He would have stated to Nicodemus that a person must say the prayer to the Messianic Lord and Savior, in order to be born again.   But he did not, because this man-made dogma had not yet been invented and propagated by faux-priests who were part of the great shadow-church of pagan Rome.

  Stages Of Birth: Where the person's physical birth was the first stage of birth that each man and woman experiences in order for the Soul to enter this world, there is yet three (3) subsequent stages of birth that each person must bring about, in order to complete the journey of the prodigal son's return to the Edenic Kingdom -- which abandonment of the Kingdom by s/he was invoked by  her/his own volition. 

At the commencement of each stage of birth, the Soul emerges from the womb as a male or female newborn child.  When a person is born into this world though, the process of creating an embryo comprised of the male and female essence (sperm and ovum) being formed into a fetus -- with each person developing in the womb in order to be born into this present world -- and when rightly understood, this world can be portrayed as the next stage of womb (see Mental Womb http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org#MentalWomb ).  What this means is that when you were born into this realm, you entered the next subsequent (second) womb as a Cosmic Sperm (man) or Ovum (woman) that must fulfill the process set forth in Gospel of Thomas saying 22, in order to fully enter the Kingdom of Man (see Entering The Kingdom Of Man http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org#EnteringTheKingdomOfMan ).  Which means that when you fulfill the requirements set forth in the words, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female", you will have prevailed over your inherent duality at that level, and become a Child at the next stage of birth -- i.e., "For there are some children, which were so born from their mother's womb; And there are some who God returned, and were made the children of men; And there be children, who have made themselves children for the kingdom of heaven's sake."  Meaning, while there are some who are children by virtue of being born from their mother's womb -- and if that Soul fails to achieve the subsequent stages of birth, they are returned to the cycle of physical birth by the Laws of God -- and just as Jesus said that you must "turn about" and become as a child, there are the few who make "...themselves children for the kingdom of heaven's sake".  

  The Folly Of Literal/Historical Interpretations: The genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew was not removed ONLY because the vast majority of Christians are incapable of understanding the great truths that are presented.  Those who understand the meaning of the numbers will understand that the three subsequent stages of birth presented in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, is also presented in the parable of the Sower and the Seed (see http://Messianic.Nazirene.org/sower_seed.html ).  In the parable, the initial soul-generated image or personality is projected into the body of a woman at conception -- and this projected soul-image is the seed that has been cast into the earth.  The sperm of the father fertilizes the ovum of the mother, and the image of the pre-existent Soul of the child that is to be born, is projected into the embryo that forms at conception.  But one of the most important aspects of the parable of the Sower and the Seed that is not understood is presented in the example of the seed that was planted in the "good ground" where it states: "But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."   What is being presented is the subsequent stages of birth in the words "...some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."   The term "thirtyfold" is representative of the next stage of birth that enables the person to become At-One with their higher Soul-Self.   The term "sixtyfold" is representative of the third stage of birth that enables the person to become At-One with their Spiritual-Self.  The term "a hundred" is representative of the last stage of birth that enables the person to become At-One with the Logos/Son of God (see http://BrotherOfJesus.org#AtOnement ).  Thus, in each of the subsequent stages of birth, you must "turn about" and become a child of that kingdom you have entered through the process of birth.   At each level of birth, you must "turn about", and become as a child or "little one". 

Perhaps one of the finest examples of the organic mind's attempt to explain away from a purely physical/carnal perspective what it should be investigating, is demonstrated in the genealogies of Jesus. The fact that the genealogy presented in Luke is not the same as that in Matthew, has long been the source of many dogmatic theories.  But the fact that the genealogy in Matthew contains four women, and three foreigners, should immediately send up a red flag warning that these genealogies cannot -- and never were intended -- to be read literally.

Further, two of the women were strangers to the commonwealth of Israel, Rachab a Canaanitess, and a harlot besides, and Ruth the Moabitess.  In the pedigree of the kings of Judah, between Joram and Ozias (v. 8), there are three left out, namely, Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah -- and therefore Joram could not have begat Ozias.   When it is said (v. 12) that Jechonias begat Salathiel, that Jechonias was the son of that Jehoiakim who was carried into Babylon, the scriptures tell us that Jechonias was childless (Jer. 22:30), and in direct contradiction to what is written in Matthew, it is written that “No man of his seed shall prosper”.

In order to insure that the genealogies cannot be read literally, it is further stated in Matthew: “Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ” (Matt 1:17 NIV).   The number fourteen (14) is significant, because it portrays the Son of Man in the Kingdom.  With regard to the many problems presented in the genealogies, the Adam Clark Commentary writes:
[Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:] There are three considerable difficulties in this verse.

  1.  Josias was not the father of Jechonias; he was only the grandfather of that prince: (1 Chr. 3:14-16)
    2.  Jechonias had no brethren; at least, none are on record.
    3.  Josias died 20 years before the Babylonian captivity took place, and therefore Jechonias and his brethren could not have been begotten about the time they were carried away to Babylon.

To this may be added a fourth difficulty, namely, there are only thirteen in this 2nd class of generations; or forty-one, instead of forty-two, in the whole.  When rightly understood, the number forty-one instead of forty-two among other things would signify that the last stage of birth was not Complete -- and the whole of the Gospel portrays the Completion of the final stage of birth in the allegorical account of the crucifixion. 

While it remains virtually impossible to interpret  the above genealogy of Jesus from a literal/historical perspective, it is generally ignored by most students of the scriptures because they lack the ability to uncover the spiritual meaning.  The sequence of the numbers fourteen, fourteen and fourteen, signifies the Son of Man as signified in the number four, and personified in the name of David.   When we add in the number ten which gives us the number fourteen, what we have is the Son of Man reigning in the Kingdom.  And while the sequence of fourteen, fourteen and fourteen would signify achieving the three subsequent stages of birth, the fact that the numbers actually present to us the sequences of fourteen, fourteen and thirteen, conveys to us the necessity to achieve Completion and Perfection in the final stage of birth that the man Jesus accomplished in the allegorical portrayal of the crucifixion.  And while it is impossible to interpret the genealogy in Matthew literally/historically, alleged biblical experts are clueless to understand not only the spiritual meaning, but also what the implications are in the life of all of mankind.  

If the historical man Jesus had to achieve the three stages of birth prior to his becoming the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) in that life, then the question becomes: When were these subsequent stages of birth achieved?  Certainly not in the life as the man Jesus.   Which means that the historical man Jesus lived many previous lives where his Soul evolved to the degree that the subsequent stages of birth could be achieved, and when his Soul entered the life of Jesus, he was only then able to achieve Completion, Wholeness and Total Perfection.    But this raises the ultra-important question that, if the Soul of the historical man Jesus lived many lives in this world in order to achieve the necessary subsequent stages of birth, which enabled him to become At-One With The Logos/Son Of God (see http://BrotherOfJesus.org#AtOnement ).   And if it is true that the Soul of the historical man Jesus evolved to the perfection over the course of many lifetimes, this would indicate that all of mankind is presently evolving to this same level of perfection as presented at Matthew 5:48 which sets forth the requirement: "You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect".  If each Soul must achieve the same level of perfection that the historical man Jesus did, then each Soul will have to achieve this perfection over the course of many lifetimes.

By achieving the subsequent stages of birth the person receives the Divine Manna or Sacred Knowledge of the Kingdom -- i.e., "To him who overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna" (Rev 2:8-17).   And it is this Spiritual Nourishment or Divine Manna that neither the Gentiles or the Jews could receive (see The Divine Manna - The Gospels - The foundation of the New Covenant http://BrotherOfJesus.org#NewCovenant ) of the Kingdom that only those who reject the teachers and authorities of this world and seek inwardly can receive.  Why?  Because their beliefs act as obstacles to their higher development of mind and spirit.  Unless they understand that within them is the True Source of Knowledge that they must seek, they will be functioning in an Old Covenant Mode -- even when they read the New Testament.  Further, because of the removal of a number of key teachings from the Gospels, the lack of this self-knowledge has flat-lined those who seek the knowledge and wisdom of this world in an Old Covenant mode of thinking and teaching.  Jesus said to Nicodemus that you must be born again to enter the Kingdom.  In order to demonstrate this reality, lets quote the account of Nicodemus from the Gospel of the Nazirenes instead of the Gospel of John where this ultra-important teaching has been removed from the canonical Gospels by the Gentile Church.  Thus,  in the Gospel Of the Nazirenes we can see preserved the more complete interaction with Nicodemus on the need to be born again to enter the Kingdom which is presented in the 37th Chapter: "Jesus sat in the porch of the temple, and some came to learn His doctrine, and one said to Him, Master, what do you teach concerning life? And He said to them, Blessed are they who suffer many experiences, for they will be made perfect through suffering; they will be as the angels of God in heaven and will die no more. Neither will they be born any more, for death and birth have no more dominion over them.  They who have suffered and have overcome will be made pillars of the temple of my God, and they will go out no more. I say to you, except you be born again of water and of fire, you cannot see the kingdom of God.  And a certain Rabbi, Nicodemus, came to Him by night for fear of the Jews, and said to Him, How can a man be born again when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born again?  Jesus answered Except a man be born again of flesh and of spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God. The wind blows where it lists, and you hear the sound of it, but can not tell from where it comes or to where it goes.  The light shines from the East even to the West; out of the darkness. The sun rises and sets into darkness again; so is it with man, from the ages to the ages.  When it cometh from the darkness, it is that he has lived before, and when it goes down again into darkness, it is that he may rest for a little, and there after again exist.  So through many changes must you be made perfect, as it is written in the book of Job, 'I am a wanderer, changing place after place and house after house, until I come into the city and mansion which is eternal.  And Nicodemus said to him, How can these things be? And Jesus answered , You are a teacher in Israel, and do not understand these things? Truly, we speak that which we know, and bear witness to that which we have seen, and you do not receive our witness.  If I tell you of earthly things, and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you of heavenly things? No one ascends into heaven, unless they descended out of heaven, even the son or daughter of man which is in Heaven."   

If it is true that each person is "...a wanderer, changing place after place and house after house, until I come into the city and mansion which is eternal", then each Soul is returned back into this life if they fail to achieve the subsequent stages of birth that is necessary for the prodigal sons and daughters to return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.   On page 220 of the book, Fragments Of A Faith Forgotten by GRS Mead, he quotes the Septuagint and writes: "Job ii. 9: And I am a wanderer, changing place after place and house after house. The...  passage is found in the version of the Seventy, but is omitted in the English translation."  Why is this passage deleted in the English translation?  That this saying is authentic is demonstrated in the fact that it is quoted by the Church Father Hippolytus in his Refutation of All Heresies, Bk VIII, 3, where he writes: "And that these things are so, says (the Docetic), it is possible also to perceive from Job, when he uses the following words: "And I am a wanderer, changing both place after place, and house after house.'"  What does it mean that "I am a wanderer, changing place after place and house after house, until I come into the city and mansion which is eternal."   Especially since it appears that those who function in and Old Covenant Mode and walk the broad-way of destruction, cannot bring about the necessary subsequent stages of birth.   It is therefore imperative to understand that the word translated "destruction", in no manner represents what is actually being presented by the interpreters of the Greek biblical texts.   Quoting the footnote on this word in the Schofield Reference Bible which reads: “There is no thought in these various words of annihilation but of something that is ruined and thus unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose”.   Which demonstrates the validity of the statement by the Church Father Origen who wrote: “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis).  Which confirms that statement: "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (Gal 6:7 NKJ).  And of interesting note is the statement by The Hastings-Scribner Dictionary Of The Bible (New York, 1903. Bk 4, p. 63) which proclaimed that "To affirm that Jews in Christ's time did not believe in pre-existence is simply incorrect".   Which is why the disciples of Jesus ask the question: "The disciples of Jesus were persuaded that a man might have sinned before he was born, (John, ix. 2,) and the Pharisees held the transmigration [reincarnation] of virtuous souls, (Joseph. de Bell. Judaico, l. ii. c. 7;) and a modern Rabbi is modestly assured, that Hermes, Pythagoras, Plato, etc., derived their metaphysics from his illustrious countrymen" (Gibbon; Decline & Fall). 

What is being made reference to is the question asked of Jesus about blindness: "Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?'" (John 9:1-2).  In the Gospel of the Nazirenes this same verse reads: "And at another time as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, To what importance is it whether this man or his parents sinned? The rewards of our actions return again to us so that the works of the Lord are made manifest."  How are the works of the Lord made manifest?  Again, in the Gospel of the Nazirenes it is explained: "As in Adam all are bound to cycles of rebirth, so in the Messiah shall all be made alive. Blessed are the dead who die in me, and are made perfect in my image and likeness, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them. They have overcome evil, and are made pillars in the temple of my God, and they go out no more, for they rest in the eternal. For them that persist in evil there is no rest, but they go out and in, and suffer correction for ages, till they are made perfect. But for them that have done good and attained to perfection, there is endless rest and they go into life everlasting. They rest in the eternal.  Over them the repeated death and birth have no power, for them the wheel of the eternal revolves no more, for they have attained to the center, where is eternal rest, and the center of all things is God." 

In the question presented to Jesus -- i.e., "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents", a reality that the modern Christian does not at all understand is the fact that the Gospels portray three reasons for people being born blind from birth -- i.e., (1) the sins committed in the Soul's previous lives; (2) the sins committed by the parents; (3) and the inherent blindness as a condition affecting all of organic "natural" man when his/her development has been derailed (see Arrested Mental Development ).  Basically, all the people who function in an Old Covent Mode and walk the "broad-way", fail to develop the areas of mind that enable them to begin to tap into the inner Source of Knowledge, and therefore their development of mind is derailed.  Jesus portrayed the Pharisees as "blind guides", because their thinking, mindset, religious framework of thinking and their lifestyle inhibited their higher development.  Because of their inherent organic blindness, they saw only the literal text of the scriptures that Paul portrayed as the "letter that killeth [and] Jewish folktales" (see 2 Cor 3:6; Titus 1:14) -- unable to perceive or comprehend the inner spiritual meaning of the scriptures.   And Jesus made note of this condition of organic blindness when he stated to the Jewish leaders: "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye" (Matt 7:3-5). 

What is not at all understood is the fact that Organic Blindness is the normal undeveloped embryonic mental condition of mind.  And what this means is that because of undeveloped immaturity, all of mankind are born blind to their own higher Soul and Spiritual Reality.  All of mankind remains blind, so long as they are functioning in an Old Covenant Mode and as what Jesus portrays as "dogs" ("do not give what is holy to dogs"), seek their knowledge from the authorities and wisdom of the outer world -- thereby, rejecting the New Covenant mode that enables the mind to develop beyond organic human levels of limited consciousness. And as the mind of man matures and evolves to a condition of Wholeness-- i.e., They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17) -- the fullness of perceptive-vision and enlightened understanding will come -- unless the process of developmental-maturity of mind and consciousness is derailed by mental obstacles and/or a carnal lifestyle immersed in the ways and thinking of this world (see Spiritual Amnesia http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#SpiritualAmnesia ). 

Another ultra-important teaching that was removed from the canonical Gospels has been preserved at Gospel of Thomas saying 84 which reads: "Jesus said, When you see your likeness, you rejoice"  -- and it is this likeness that is our own source of Being -- our soul-self, who is the Being of Light in the Near Death Experience.  And the Gospel of Thomas asks the question: "...But when you see your images which came into being before you, and which neither die nor become manifest, how much you will have to bear!"    These images which came into being before you, are the past lives that your soul-self has previously lived, that have all failed to bring about the next stage of soul-birth that Jesus taught was necessary to enter the Kingdom.  And thus, these past images which your Soul and True-Self has lived, remain within the House of the Soul as the experiences of failed lives that never became manifest.   Which means that as a failed-image, you will neither go to Glory with God, nor will you reincarnate -- and lacking the permanence of the Soul, you will remain forever as an experience in the House of the Soul. 

The reality of man’s plight in this world is that he is an embryonic image of his pre-existent soul that has entered into this realm in order to perfect those laws and elements that he must overcome.   In the same way that a fetus is an embryonic copy of its parents, our mind is an embryonic image of our soul.   In the same way a fetus must grow and mature in accordance with the pattern of its parents, our mind must grow and mature in the pattern of our soul.   When our mind grows in the culture of this world, and becomes alienated from our soul, then our life becomes synonymous with the miscarriage of a fetus whose defect fails to develop it in accordance with its physical genetic pattern.   What this means is that the Original Teaching on the pre-existent Soul that evolves to Completion over the course of many incarnations, has virtually little in common with the Eastern doctrine of reincarnation.  But the fact that the failed images of the Soul that did not become "manifest", continue to dwell as a sub-personality within the House of the Soul, means that both doctrines must be recognized as "entry-level", and both are misconceptions of a higher reality that "natural" man in his organic condition of mind, is incapable of comprehending.   The Higher Reality of the Soul that Paul warns is incomprehensible from an organic condition of mind, is explored at http://SoulSelf.org .

What this means is that the vast majority of people don't remember the previous lives their Soul has lived, because the soul-image that they are in the present, never lived those previous lives.   Why does the Soul generate images into this world at conception?  Because the Soul is a twelve-dimensional Being of Light ( http://BeingOfLight.com ) that cannot directly incarnate into this three-dimensional realm or earthly-womb.  In much the same way, Creator-God cannot directly incarnate into this world, because the dimensions within the Mind of God are Infinite.  In order to manifest in this world, the soul-generated image must bring about the next stage of birth that would make the person At-One with their Soul-Self.  And in order for God to manifest in this world, a Soul the Spiritual Stature of Jesus must achieve the third-stage of birth that enabled him to become At-One with the Logos (aks Son of God and True Prophet) which Spiritual-Birth is explored at At-Onement With The Logos/Son Of God http://BrotherOfJesus.org#AtOnement .  

Within the Higher Reality of the Soul, all the previous incarnations that are portrayed as soul-images in the Gospel of Thomas, continue to live and dwell within the House or Mind-Matrix of the Soul (see The Matrix Of Soul-Mind http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#MatrixOfMind ).  In the words of St. Teresa: "The soul is as a castle made of a single diamond… in which there are many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions” (Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila).  When rightly understood, each soul-generated image must return to their Source in the Higher Realty of the Soul.   What this means is that the higher Soul-Self generates embryonic images at the conception of the body -- and these soul-images then begin the process of evolving through the levels and stages of birth that Jesus portrayed in the words: "...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" -- means that those soul-images that, after emerging out of the physical womb of their mother, and into the environment of this world, have begun the next phase necessary in order to bring about the next stage of birth.   That you are a thought-image which has been generated by your higher soul-self -- i.e., you exist as a projected embryonic seed-image which has been impressed into the physical body at conception  -- is the reason why Paul and the earliest of biblical texts warn that carnal man is not even "known by God" (see Soul-Image).    Therefore, you exist as a Creation of God only by proxy -- and by virtue of the fact that you are a thought projected by your soul -- and it was your soul that was Created by God in the beginning.   And thus, the reality of the words to Know Thyself -- and a house that is divided, cannot stand.  

With respect to The Two Ways as taught in the words: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NKJ) -- it is imperative to understand that the word translated "destruction", in no manner represents what is actually being presented by the interpreters of the Greek biblical texts.   Quoting the footnote on this word in the Schofield Reference Bible which reads: “There is no thought in these various words of annihilation but of something that is ruined and thus unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose”.     That the higher soul-self generates embryonic images at the conception of the body -- and these soul-images then begin the process of evolving through the levels and stages of birth that Jesus portrayed in the words: "...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" -- means that those soul-images that, after emerging out of the physical womb of their mother, and into the environment of this world, have begun the next phase necessary in order to bring about the next stage of birth.   That you are a thought-image which has been generated by your higher soul-self -- i.e., you exist as a projected embryonic seed-image which has been impressed into the physical body at conception  -- is the reason why Paul and the earliest of biblical texts warn that carnal man is not even "known by God" (see Soul-Image).    Therefore, you exist as a Creation of God only by proxy -- and by virtue of the fact that you are a thought projected by your soul -- and it was your soul that was Created by God in the beginning.   And thus, the reality of the words to Know Thyself -- and a house that is divided, cannot stand.

That for countless reasons these soul-images which enter this world in the bodies of man and woman mostly fail to bring about the objective of achieving the next stage of birth that Jesus said was absolutely necessary to achieve permanence in Life, is very much true that they have become as portrayed in the Schofield Reference Bible as being "...ruined and thus unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose”.    As soul-images that failed to evolve through the next stage of birth, they are for the most part temporal -- being temporal, they can never reincarnate as many in the New Age believe -- and neither can they go to Glory as the Church promotes.   The fact that some people claim to see their past lives, have been deceived when they mistakenly believe that they lived those lives, and the memory has been suppressed.    What they are in effect seeing, is the images which their higher soul-self has previously generated -- failed images which is the Gospel of Thomas saying 84 are portrayed in the words that "...when you see your images which came into being before you, and which neither die nor become manifest, how much you will have to bear!"   And these failed images which walked (what Jesus portrayed as) the broad-way of self destruction -- i.e., "...ruined and thus unsuitable or unable to fulfill its original purpose” -- neither reincarnate, nor go to Glory in the Christian sense of the understanding -- and yet, they remain within the higher reality of the soul in that dimension of mind which man, in his very limited understanding, calls time (see The Enigma Of Time And The Soul Of Man).

  The Bottom Line On The Scriptures: If it is true that the original Hebrew Gospels and more pure Greek copies are long gone, then what good is the above?  Because of the importance of the Original Gospels, there presently exist a number of source where more pure copies are available as explored at Can I Get An Original Pure Copy Of The Scriptures http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#PureCopyOfScriptures .   These more pure spiritual copies of the Gospels were set aside and preserved for when there would come a time when the body of believers would understand the value of the scriptures, and desire to properly embrace them.   The Indwelling Logos/Son of God/True Prophet desires you to enter in through the "narrow strait gate", and gain entrance into the Spiritual Bridal Chamber, where you can fulfill the purpose of the Gospels and be United and At-One with the Indwelling Logos (see At-Onement With The Logos/Son Of God http://BrotherOfJesus.org#AtOnement ) -- thereby enabling you to be nourished by the Divine Manna (see The Divine Manna - The Gospels - The foundation of the New Covenant http://BrotherOfJesus.org#NewCovenant ).  And these Libraries of scriptures were set aside for when the people truly desired to prevail over the ignorance of this world.   In addition to the remaining five (5) libraries of scriptures that have yet to be rediscovered, I was shown that if the congregation of believers begin to demand the release of these scriptures from the Vatican archives, more pure copies will be delivered to the people.   In the meantime, if a husband and wife were to embrace the concepts set forth in the article at http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org , they would by virtue of the Natural Laws of Creation begin to open the inner "narrow strait gate" that provides entrance into the Inner Edenic Kingdom.   Even during the darkest times on earth, the sincere seeker has never been abandoned in this shadow-world. 

Who Is Allan Cronshaw?  The Soul of Allan Cronshaw has lived countless lives in every epoch of time since the Alpha of Creation.  In the same way that the Soul who lived as the historical man Jesus fulfilled the Royal Law within himself -- thereby enabling him to become At-One with the Logos (Mind of God - aka Son of God/True Prophet) -- the disciples of Jesus were part of a group of serious seekers of Truth and Light that to varying degrees fulfilled the Royal Law within their own mind and being (see http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#Ebionite ). 

In the article The Original Gospel ( http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ), I prove with supporting facts that the Gospel emerged out of the foundation of the Essenes.  I know this for a provable fact, because in that life my Soul lived as Jacob who they call James, the Brother of Yeshua who they call Jesus, and in that life I authored the Original Core Gospel that was written in Biblical Hebrew Characters (see The Original Spiritual Language Of The Gospels http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#OriginalLanguage ).  Why were the Original Gospels composed in Biblical Hebrew Characters?  Because this was and is a Living Language that can invoke a true and genuine spiritual intercession in the life of the sincere seeker -- which cannot be brought about in either the Masoretic Text used by the Jews, or the Greek, Latin or Aramaic languages used by the Gentiles.  When St. Jerome made reference to the original version of the Gospel written in Hebrew Characters, he noted that is was intended to  "...be possessed by the men most religious", meaning those who had emerged out of the Essenes, because it was too "secret" to be given into the hands of the Gentile believers. 

In that life, myself, my brother Jesus, as well as John the Baptist and other core disciples of the New Covenant movement, all emerged out of the Essenes (healers; spiritual physicians).  And as spiritual healers and physicians, we assisted seekers to overcome their inherent human blindness -- thereby restoring the memory of the lost prodigal sons and daughters (see Spiritual Amnesia http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#SpiritualAmnesia ).  And we did this by assisting sincere seekers in their quest to achieve Wholeness -- i.e., "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).  The Jews were portrayed as blind guides -- i.e., "Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch" (Matt 15:14) -- and they were blind because they lacked the necessary Wholeness to see beyond the shadow-images of the Outer Darkness of the organic human condition that plagues all of mankind who have yet to evolve beyond the developmental stages of mental and spiritual immaturity.  And like the Pharisees who Jesus condemned as blind guides -- i.e., "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to" (Matt 23:13 NIV), the modern Church has embrace the doctrines of spiritually disenfranchised carnal men.  But in man's quest for truth, the most important question is to understand why Jesus condemned the leaders of the Jews as blind-guide hypocrites?   Because the objective of the scriptures was to cure the condition of inherent human blindness, and enable seekers to enter the Inner Kingdom (see The Fatal Error Of The Church) -- and in their failure to use the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge ( http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ) that unlocks the Inner Narrow Gate that provides entrance into the Kingdom, both the Jews and the modern Christian clergy are blind guides: "They are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch" (Matt 15:14).  That those who fail to become Whole, and first enter the Inner Kingdom themselves -- and thus, remain blind guides, is why the Gospel account of Jesus states: "How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye" (Matt 7:4-5).  

The Gospels portray three causes of blindness (see Soul-Evolution - Reincarnation And Soul-Development http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#SoulEvolution ) -- i.e., (1) born blind because of the sins committed in that Soul's previous lives -- and having been case into The Prison, they were warned that “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26); (2) born blind because of the sin of that Soul's parents; and (3) being born blind because of the limitations of human consciousness which is the reason why the biblical authors all attest to the fact that the faith-based baptized and committed (Christian) believers were incapable of comprehending the true spiritual meaning of the Gospel teachings.  

It is impossible for the modern Christian to understand how a soul can be cast into the prison until which time they have "...paid [back] the uttermost farthing”, because they believe in accord with the doctrines of Roman Emperors.  In the article I prove that the Essenes, the Pharisees, and the original disciples of Jesus, all believed in the pre-existent soul that evolves to Completion and Perfection over the course of many lifetimes.  And when Jesus stated at Matthew 5:48 that "You must therefore be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect", the Soul of the man Jesus himself had achieved Wholeness and Perfection over the course of many lifetimes.   Jesus said that you must be born again to enter the Kingdom -- and in the same way that a fetus who has yet to immerge out of its mother's womb is blind to the higher reality of life in this world, this world is the secondary womb of Mother-God (see Mental Womb http://OuterDarkness.Nazirene.org#MentalWomb ) -- and like the fetus prior to physical birth, all of mankind is born blind to the higher reality of their own Soul.  And the primary purpose and objective of the Original Gospels, was to bring about the necessary Wholeness that as the prodigal sons and daughters of your Heavenly Father, cures both your inherent human blindness and restores your Soul-Memory caused by the human condition of Spiritual Amnesia ( http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#SpiritualAmnesia ). 

In the article the Original Gospel, I prove that it was never intended for the Gospels to be read literally -- as if they are an historical account.  I demonstrate that the author's of the Gospels intentionally inserted events that did not happen and could not have happened.  I demonstrate that there is no linear or historical connection to the Jews and the Old Testament, which scriptures were authored by the Essenes and Spiritual Essenic people as an outreach program intended to assist the nomadic tribe of animal-sacrificing and heathen Jews.  And in the same way that scriptures such as the Torah was composed in order to accommodate the nomadic tribe of Jews, the copies of the Gospels that were written in Greek and other languages, were basically less spiritual copies that were given to the Gentiles as a similar outreach program by the Ebionite Nazirenes.  As the prodigal sons and daughters, your Heavenly Father desires your return to the Edenic Kingdom that you abandoned to travel into this, the Far Country.  The Original Gospels were written in order to enable you to travail in TheWay, and return to the Kingdom while you are still physically alive in the body.  In the article (Original Gospel) I reveal to the reader how to acquire an original copy of the Gospels -- how it must be used as the Key of Knowledge that has the power to transform the mind and enable you to be Anointed by the Holy Spirit -- and why the Church has been inhibiting you from possessing the Authentic Gospels.
