The Living Scriptures

The Christian Doctrinal Quagmire

 

While most Christians believe that the Bible is the Word of God, what they fail to understand is the fact that the scriptures are the Key of Knowledge that when properly applied and turned within the disciple's own mind and being, enables the seeker to enter through the inner Narrow Gate and learn from the Living Word that is beyond man's misinterpretations and ability to corrupt.   The modern Christian perpetually argues over which biblical translation better represents the original text -- without recognizing that none of them at present do.   The modern Christian erroneously maintains that God would not permit the scriptures to become corrupted -- dogmatically reasoning that if He did, then mankind would not know what to believe.   Yet, the New Covenant is a declaration of a reality that the Living Word of God is within each of us as the lost prodigal sons of our Heavenly Father --  and the whole objective of the Original Teachings of TheWay was to enable man to connect with the Source of Truth and Knowledge that exists within them.   Therefore, if modern believers were truly the disciples of Yeshua/Jesus, then they would not be dependent upon other men to teach them -- they would not be dependent upon the church of this world -- they would not be dependent upon the Bibles that men publish -- they would not be dependent upon the commentaries and doctrines of men -- because as disciples of TheWay, they would be permitted entrance into the inner Kingdom, and the Lord would be their Teacher.  

How much does the modern Church know about either the original Gospels or the original teachings of Yeshua/Jesus and TheWay?   Quoting the subheading The Most Important Scriptures Never Given To The Church: Those outside of the original Ebionite/Nazirene core of disciples and followers of Yeshua/Jesus, were quick to corrupt all the copies of the scriptures that were given to them.   And this fact is confirmed to us  by Dr. F. H. Scrivener where he writes that: "In the second century we have seen too many instances of attempts to tamper with the text of Scripture, some merely injudicious, others positively dishonest". Scrivener states that "it is no less true to fact than paradoxical in sound, that the worst corruptions to which the New Testament has ever been subjected, originated within 100 years after it was composed: and that Irenaeus and the African Fathers, and the whole Western, with a portion of the Syrian Church" used inferior manuscripts (F.H.Scrivener, Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament).    Dean Burgon quotes Gaius (AD175-200) who speaks of the source of corruptions that survive in the early papyri: "The Divine Scriptures these heretics have audaciously corrupted. Laying violent hands upon them, under pretense of correcting them." (Burgon, The Revision Revised, p. 323).   Eusebius (Eccleastical History), citing the second century Church Father Clement of Alexandria: "The worst corruptions to which the New Testament has ever been subjected originated within one hundred years after it was composed."   In the words of Colwell (What is the Best New Testament Text?, p.119)  "The first two centuries witnessed the creations of the large number of variations known to scholars today.  In the manuscripts of the New Testament most variations, I believe, were made deliberately."   G.D. Kilpatrick (Atticism and the Text of the Greek New Testament, pp 125-131):  "Deliberate changes in all text types appear to antedate A.D. 200..as distinct from errors... all categories of deliberate alteration...  are present in both groups. Tatian is the last author of make deliberate changes. The vast majority of deliberate changes were older then A.D. 200.  They came into being in the period A.D. 50-200."

Under the title of Bible in the Church, the Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics writes: "In the first two centuries nearly all the various readings of the New Testament came into existence, the majority of them by deliberate alteration of the text, many for the sake of style, and several in the interests of dogma… Often readings were rejected as falsifications of heretics, but often the heretics were right in their counter-complaint… Every province, every order, every monastery, has a tradition of its own…"   And if we pose the question as to who corrupted the scriptures?  Sir William Whiston in his Second letter to the Bishop of London, 1719, p. 15, further confirms that it was the so-called orthodox church which was directly responsible for all the interpolations and corruptions: "We certainly know of a greater number of interpolations and corruptions brought into the Scriptures by the Athanasians, and relating to the Doctrine of the Trinity, than in any other case whatsoever. While we have not, that I know of, any such interpolation or corruption made in any one of them by either the Eusebians or Arians." For additional historical documentation on the insertion of Trinitarian verses into the text of the scriptures, see The Adoption Of The Trinity.

The truth and the facts to the matter is very clearly expressed in the words of Prof. Bart D. Ehrman in his book, The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture, where he warns us that: "...theological disputes, specifically disputes over Christology, prompted Christian scribes to alter the words of scripture in order to make them more serviceable for the polemical task. Scribes modified their manuscripts to make them more patently ‘orthodox’ and less susceptible to ‘abuse’ by the opponents of orthodoxy" -- which orthodoxy was to bring the text of the Bible into conformity with the doctrines and tenets of the Church of the Roman Emperor Constantine. To close our hearts and minds to the facts, and ignore the truth, is from a New Covenant perspective synonymous with relinquishing any claim whatsoever with respect to being a follower of Jesus.  With regard to the condition of the Bible that the Church presently uses: The surviving Greek texts of the book of Acts are so radically different from each other, that it has been suggested that perhaps there were multiple versions written. 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 dogmatic perspective.  In like manner, whatever doctrines the Church regarded as being dogmatically true, regardless of whether that belief was supported in the scriptures, the Church inserted this belief into the Bible in an attempt to make it authentic.  What Dr. Taylor is warning us is there is good reason to conclude that our scriptures have been rewritten by the Church of Constantine.  Now the question that is being posed here is whether you believe the theological tenets of Rome, or the disciples of Christ -- because the two are not the same (see The Religion Of Roman Emperors).

It is easily demonstrated that any genuine believer can prove that not only were the scriptures corrupted in order to support the doctrines of Pagan Rome, but that the teachings of the nature of Jesus was changed (see The Ten Words), and the genuine disciples and followers of Jesus were murdered in order to silence them (see The Death Of The Religion Of Jesus).    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”.   What is meant by the words that "...the conquest of the East was immediately followed by an edict which announced their total destruction”, indicates that 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.   And if we pose the question: What did this mean to the Christian Church?   Under the heading of Constantine, in the eleventh edition of the Britannica, we find that: “Constantine showed a determination to assert his Supremacy in ecclesiastical affairs, holding no doubt that, as the office of pontifex maximus gave him the supreme control of religious matters throughout the empire, the regulation of Christianity fell within his province... and it is significant that from hence forth we meet with the undisguised assertion that the will of the emperor, in whatever form expressed, is the sole foundation of the law.  Constantine, in fact, embodies the spirit of absolute authority which, both in church and state, was to prevail for many centuries”.

That the heathen Emperor Constantine and those who followed him represented the deciding and defining factor with respect to what Christians believed -- and that the scriptures were edited in order to make them support the doctrines of Imperial Rome -- is a factual reality that the modern Church has yet to come to terms with.   And ultimately, as detailed in the article Bible Corruption ( http://BibleCorruption.com ), this absolute corruption of the scriptures was ordained by God, for the benefit of the large number of people who would be reached when the essential Gospel message was made applicable to the Gentile mindset -- which was basically pagan.   Man has freewill -- and if this inherent freewill was undermined by some supernatural power or force, then the necessary development of the prodigal sons and daughters would become totally negated.   And that it is nearly impossible for the modern Christian to even begin to comprehend this fact, is because he has been deprived of important Gospel teachings on the evolution of the soul and the fulfillment of the requirements set forth in Matthew 5:48.

The Bible was intentionally corrupted by the Will of God.  Modern day Christian doctrine rests upon the premise that God preserved the Bible in an absolute infallible and pure state, in order that all men should know the (historical) truth and believe in the Son of God. Their doctrinal position is that if God permitted the Bible to have been altered, then the present day church could not be genuine. Based upon this dogmatic presumption that the Christian Church must be maintained in order for man to be saved, they reason that God would not allow the written word of the scriptures to be corrupted. Thus, modern Christians cling to this doctrine -- ignoring overwhelming evidence to the contrary -- evidence that demonstrates conclusively that our Bible has been severely altered and edited -- because they fail to grasp the very foundational principles of the New Covenant itself -- principles that are not historical, but spiritual. It is not until we understand that the Bible is a road-map that leads us to the Gate of the Kingdom, and the Word that is written in our hearts -- rather than a final revelation from God to man -- that we are able to even begin to come to terms with the Spiritual Gospel of Messiah/Christ that can never be corrupted.

The Kingdom Within

The Gate of Eden is within us. We are the prodigal sons/daughters who presently dwell in the "far country".  The Kingdom is not of this world, and is within us (Lk 17:20-21), and if we fail to enter therein while we are still physically alive in the body, we will have squandered away our opportunity to enter into Life during this present cycle.  And while it can be countered that we are saved by our belief in Messiah/Christ, faith, or the blood of the lamb, the truth is that if we were truly faithful disciples of TheWay, that we would experience the opening of the inner door and the Kingdom coming within us.  The GateOfEden article explores all aspects of the need to pick up one's own cross and follow the narrow path that leads to the inner gate to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.

Was Jesus God?

    The 10 Words!  

From The Bible That Prove The Ebionites Correct

These 10 Words Prove Roman And Modern Christianity To Be In Error

 

There are 10 words that were altered from their original context in the New Testament that have the power to re-establish the essence of the teachings of Yeshua which was known as TheWay.   These 10 words demonstrate conclusively that the text of the New Testament has been altered and corrupted in order to make it support the doctrines of the Pagan Roman/Greek world.   These 10 words further demonstrate that the essence of the teachings of Yeshua has little in common with the Christian religion today.   In fact, these 10 words are to Christianity what the 10 Commandments were to Judaism -- i.e., the foundation from which every other aspect of the religion springs forth! These 10 words prove the Ebionites correct, and modern Christianity which is founded upon 4th century Roman doctrines to be in error.  These 10 words prove that without a return to the essence of Yeshua's original teachings, modern Christians are neither saved, nor do they have the salvation they erroneously believe they do.

The Ebionites

 

If you call yourself a Christian, Jew, Messianic, or Nazarene, then you must learn of the Ebionites who are True Spiritual Israel - the Poor Ones to the ways and thinking of this world. The Ebionites were the Israelites of the Nazirene Vow who are in the world and not of it! Neither Jew nor Christian, they are “…rejected from one religion as apostates, and from the other as heretics!” Condemned by both Christians and Jews, they are the Genuine Disciples of Messiah/Christ! Yeshua did not come to promote belief in the Messiah - neither did he come to promote the worship of Messiah - Yeshua came to teach the people TheWay to become Messiah, and fulfill the vision of a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation of Anointed (Messiah/Christ) Disciples who are set aside for the service of the Most High God that Yeshua taught was the Father of all of mankind. But the majority of the Roman and Greek followers who were too Pagan to embrace the teachings of Yeshua, were not interested in a life of genuine change and spiritual transformation, so they made Jesus their God so they didn't have to pick up their own cross and follow in TheWay. Thus, the Church itself betrayed and crucified Messiah/Christ when it immersed itself in the way of the heathen, and worshiped the messenger instead of imitating the pattern and example that Yeshua set as the required standard for all those who called upon the name of the Lord. The Good News is that once you understand and are willing to live in accordance with the Original teachings of the New Covenant, the Promise is that you will Know the Truth for yourself as you are permitted entrance into the Kingdom within you (Lk 17:20-21).

 

 

 

 

What few people today understand today is the fact that the purpose of our Gospels is to be a universal guide book for the disciples of TheWay to enter the Kingdom of God.   We are the Prodigal Sons and Daughters -- foster children of this world who must overcome the god of this world, and return to the Kingdom from which we emerged.   As detailed on the web site http://GateOfEden.com , the teachings of both the Jewish holy men and mystics, as well as Yeshua (Jesus) and his original Nazirene Ebionite disciples, was to bring about that condition where the Kingdom of God would manifest in the life of the disciple.   Thus, it was for this reason that the writings of the Jewish Mystics, as well as the Hasidic Rebbis, all warn that the Torah and other Old Testament scriptures have a deeper meaning that is not apparent to the student of the written word: "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" (See No Jew Has Read The Torah) -- and the same is true with respect to the inner meaning of the Gospels (see The Christian Secret Doctrine).   Such qualities as faith and belief in a truly spiritual religion have more to do with one's willingness to submit their lives to an adherence to the teachings and practices which are intended to bring about the spiritual transformation of the disciple.   Thus, Paul had a far more extreme lifestyle than the ritual practice of the Law when he commanded: "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5 NIV).  And it was this process of spiritual transfomation that modern Jews and Christians have today become totally alienated from that Paul had in mind when he spoke of the necessity to "…beat my body and make it my slave..." (1 Cor 9:27 NIV).   Even Yeshua warned that "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment" (Matt 12:36 KJV).   

 

Each of us has the ability to prove our religious beliefs -- and we possess this inborn power, because God has bestowed it upon us as His Creation in His Image and Likeness.   And if you truly desire to prove your beliefs, and to enter beyond the veil of the Holy of Holies of the Temple built without the hands of men that is within you, then you will begin the journey in TheWay by putting the concepts of the Gospel of the Nazirenes to work in your daily life.   And while both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are good, they both have been corrupted (see The Orthodox Corruption of The Scriptures), and the Gospel of the Nazirenes contains many teachings and spiritual concepts that are necessary to open the "narrow door" to the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21), and permit the disciple to gain entrance to the True Temple of God.    

 

INDEX

The Gospel of the Nazirenes

 

What did the scriptures of TheWay look like before they underwent a massive editing and re-write by the Church of Rome?  Did you know that the followers of Yeshua (Jesus) did not believe he was God?  Did you know that the beliefs of the people of TheWay parallels those of Jewish Mysticism?  They believed in the pre-existent soul that evolves to perfection over the course of many lives.  They embraced the concept that the Fifth Commandment that states: Thou Shalt Not Kill, is applicable to not only all people, but also the animal kingdom which is portrayed as our lesser brothers.  The followers of Yeshua were Torah Observant -- but not in the manner of the Sadducees and Pharisees whose carnal blindness caused them to see only the literal written word of the Torah -- but rather, they were Torah Observant on all three levels of being (physical, soul and spirit -- see The Law).  In fact, it will come as a shock to most Jews and Christians today once they begin to realize that Yeshua did not condemn the Sadducees and Pharisees for any other reason than they sought only to fulfill the Torah physically, and failed to be Torah Observant in soul/mind and spirit.  Moreover, the Gospel of the Nazirenes demonstrates that the sin of the historical Judas was seen in the fact that he attempted to bring about the conditions where Yeshua would fulfill the Messianic prophesies and inaugurate the Kingdom upon the earth -- failing to realize that the Kingdom can never come upon the earth, because it is within us (Luke 17:20-21).  Thus, the sin of Judas is exactly the same as the sin of the majority of Jews and Christians today who look for the Messiah to come in the world, rather than within them.

Teachings On Soul-Evolution

On page 220 of 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.   In the Gospel of the Nazirenes this passage is contained: "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 this is the portrayal of the journey of the soul that has been removed from the scriptures used by the common believers.   When Yeshua said that you must be born again, this next stage of birth cannot be accomplished with mere words -- but is the result of the necessary process of spiritual transformation that is brought about by walking in TheWay, overcoming the Laws within one's self, and achieving the necessary Completion at this level of being.   Thus, the more complete interaction with Nicodemus is presented in the 37th Chapter: "Yeshua 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?  Yeshua 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 Yeshua 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."   

That this above 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.'"

The Outer Darkness

All who fail to put on the required Wedding Garment in the parable of TheCall, are cast into the outer darkness throughout their lifetimes, until which time they embrace the teachings of TheWay, fulfill the Royal Law, put on the Wedding Garment, and seek the Inner Kingdom of Light.  "But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen" (Matt 22:11-14 NKJ).
 

For it is better to enter life possessing truth, than losing it, to be cast into outer darkness.

These things I declare to you of the inner circle; but to those of the outer in parables. Let them hear who have ears to hear

And shall appoint him his portion with the hypocrites in the outer darkness with the cruel, and those that have no love, no pity; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth

And cast out the unprofitable servant into outer darkness, for that is the portion he has chosen

Who so therefore forsakes Messiah the savior, the holy law, and the body of the elect, let them die the death. Yea, let them be lost in the outer darkness, for so they willed and none can hinder The Law.

Let such a person abide in the outer court until they cleanse themselves from these grosser evils; for till they perceive, and repent of these, they are not fit to receive the higher mysteries

   

Blessed are you of the inner circle who hear my word and to whom the mysteries are revealed

These things I declare to you of the inner circle; but to those of the outer in parables. Let them hear who have ears to hear

 

 

 

 

 

Beasts that walk in the form of man

Sacrifice innocent creatures instead of carnal nature within

Gathered Together In the Bosom Of Messiah/Christ

A Confrontation With A Long Ignored Reality - While scholars and believers alike hold almost countless opinions as to the meaning of the scriptures, to their own detriment they overlook the most important part of the equation -- i.e., the scriptures are exactly what the original authors intended them to be.   It is an ever-looming and grave fact that, because both believers and critic alike all fail to understand the nature of the scriptures from the vision of the original authors, the scriptures remain a perpetual enigma to nearly all who open them.   The bottom line is this: That it makes little difference as to what YOU believe the nature of the scriptures are, if you fail to understand the sacred writings from the same perception and understanding as the original authors who composed them.   Thus, before you can even begin to understand the true meaning of the scriptures, you must first come to understand the original objectives of the authors.   And in this respect, a few facts to consider is that the scriptures were written by Mystics who possessed a Knowledge that the biblical authors portrayed as incomprehensible to the congregation of believers -- whose higher vision of what they portrayed as Essential Truths, was outlawed as heresy -- which forced them to use a special CODE which they portrayed as the Key of Knowledge, which permitted them to both preserve and conceal their Spiritual Truths from the eyes and understanding of the ordinary reader and believer -- who would condemn and reject the Great Truths that were preserved beneath the cloak of the text of the written word which Paul portrayed as "the letter that killeth".  

From the perspective of a long ignored reality, there are a number of important points that each person must come to terms with:  (1) In the first place, the scriptures are not historical narratives -- and when understood within their original context, they possess virtually little to no historical value whatsoever.   And in view of the fact that nearly everyone who opens the scriptures all equally throw away the Key of Knowledge, they all remain blind to the true meaning.   (2) Secondly, the scriptures are composed by mystics who would be deemed heretics if they spoke openly about what they knew and witnessed as truth -- and even then, most of these very same mystics have been perpetually hunted down and murdered.  (3) The authors of the scriptures were Gnostics -- and the true meaning of the word Gnosis (see Gnosis) which was declared to be heresy by the Church of Rome, is the Divine Manna or Knowledge of the Kingdom which can only be revealed directly from God to those who could receive it.   Therefore, the primary objective of the scriptures is to conceal and preserve esoteric truths for fellow sincere seekers both in the present, and even more importantly in the future.  (4) The objective of Mysticism is to circumvent the very limited knowledge of this world, and position themselves to receive Gnosis (Spiritual Knowledge) directly from God -- and all true mystics and Gnostics must understand the evolution of the soul over the course of many lifetimes.    While it is true that we were all Created equal -- it is also an undeniable fact that in the case of man, equal is not the same -- and each of us is the product of our past experiences that have developed us since the very dawn of Creation itself.   What this means is that the mystic authors write what man calls scriptures, so that when their souls return to this world, the sacred writings will be preserved for them to renew and restore their spirituality, so they can continue their soul-journey from where they left off in the previous cycle of physical life.  (5) This last primary requirement means that they must compose the body of the scriptures in such a way, that the carnal people of this world whose thinking, mindset and lifestyle remain under the control of what Jesus portrayed as the Citizen of this world (The Far Country), will unknowingly preserve the sacred writings.   Thus, out of necessity, the Gnostic/Mystic uses the blind ignorance of the common people who remain entangled in the "outer darkness" (see Outer Darkness), to act as a (drug) mule or unwitting carrier -- and this preservation of a body of secret esoteric knowledge is necessary because the Citizen of the Far Country (aka the god of this world) would induce the people under his control to destroy and/or corrupt the scriptures.  (6) It is therefore important to recognize that the biblical authors were correct in their assertion that the people of this world who remain under the dominion of the Citizen of the Far County, cannot understand the higher reality of the soul and what Jesus portrayed as the (esoteric) knowledge of the Kingdom of God -- which Paul openly states they will reject as utter "foolishness" (see Mystery Of The Gospel).   (7) In view of the fact that the carnal people -- even those who are baptized and committed believers -- can't utilize the esoteric knowledge -- this inability to understand along with the threat of annihilation because of the charge of heresy, forces the authors of the scriptures to act in a way not at all understood by the congregation of believers.   In the example of Paul who references himself as an ambassador in bonds who cannot speak about what he knows openly -- openly warning the congregation of believers that he had himself taught, that if he did in fact speak to them openly about the Spiritual Gospel, they would reject what he said as utter "foolishness" (see Mystery Of The Gospel).    Further, Paul explains that because it was declared from On High to be "unlawful" to reveal to the faith-based believers the Spiritual Gospel of Christ and the Mysteries of the Kingdom (see Gnostic Spiritual Dilemma), there are two doctrines -- i.e., one for the immature congregation of believers who are incapable of comprehending the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom -- and the other which can only be spiritually received directly from the Mind of God (Logos/Son Of God/True Prophet). 

 

 

 

The Lie Of Judaism: That Yeshua/Jesus was not A Messiah!

The Lie Of Christianity: That Yeshua/Jesus was God Incarnate!

The Lie Of Islam: That Yeshua/Jesus Said Another Was Yet To Come

The above statement pertaining to the historical Yeshua/Jesus being A Messiah -- rather than The (only) Messiah -- not only acknowledges the statement by Martin Buber that there is always a Messiah in the earth -- but also the Ebionite (see http://Ebionite.com ) teaching that the true purpose of the teachings of Yeshua/Jesus and TheWay, was to make all the lost prodigal sons and daughters Spiritual Israel -- and Messianic Priests and a Holy Nation that would manifest the Final Temple within the life of all mankind.   Buber wrote that direct dialogue between man and God, created a relationship that transcended traditional Jewish ideology.   Buber wrote that "There is no statement about God, which does not at the same time state something about man".   But the statement of Martin Buber is in essence no different than that of St. Nazianzen who stated that those who imitate the pattern and walk in TheWay that Jesus taught, that the objective of these teachings reveals to us our true nature, and the revelation of this manifest Sacred Knowledge makes “...us like God; so that when we have thus become like Himself, God may, to use a bold expression, hold converse with us as Gods, being united to us, and that perhaps to the same extent as He already knows those who are known to Him” (see http://BeingOfLight.com ). 

Martin Buber once posed the question: "Where does God live?"   And while the Jewish scholars who were in attendance answered that "The world is full of his glory".   Buber correctly answered: "God lives, where he is let in".   Buber once told a Protestant Pastor that "we Jews understood Yeshua in a way you (Gentiles) never will!"   According to Buber, no one in history ever had a closer relationship to God than did the historical Jesus.  But few understand what Jesus truly taught -- which was that to let the Fullness of God in, it is imperative that the person manifest what is portrayed as the Final Temple within themselves.     And this is what Yeshua/Jesus taught -- i.e., not to engage in idolatry and worship him in the manner of a pagan -- but rather, to imitate the pattern and pick up one's own cross, and travail in TheWay.   

In the Essence of their religious practice and objectives, it can be said that the inner spiritual core of Judaism totally believes in Yeshua/Jesus and his teachings -- and they see him as having ushered in a New Messianic Age of the Final Temple which is Spiritual and Living.   But because few Jews can comprehend even the religious objectives of Judaism -- add to this the factor of Christian Roman Paganism which has alienated the Gentiles from the original and true teachings of Jesus and TheWay -- and this inner core of spiritual Judaism that knows the Truth, is unable to even acknowledge the historical Jesus as a Messiah.   The result is that the adoption of manmade pagan doctrines of belief by the Church of Rome, has in fact alienated the world from the primary objectives of what Jesus actually taught.   In their thinking and lifestyle, the Church daily crucifies Christ, as Paul warned in the words that they "...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).   In their idolatry of the worship of Jesus as a pagan sacrifice for the perpetual redemption of sin even after coming to the knowledge of the Truth and TheWay, the Church "...holds him up to contempt".

The fact that neither the Jews understand what Yeshua/Jesus taught regarding the reality of the Messiah and the spiritual objectives of the Torah -- and the fact that the Christ of the Christian world is totally foreign to Judaism because it is immersed in Roman Paganism, and has only alienated all the lost prodigal sons from the Truth and the Kingdom -- those who should be the guides for lost seekers, are the very people who alienate mankind from the knowledge of their own true higher self, God, and the Kingdom.   In the same way that in the allegory of the Torah, Moses (the Law) brought them through the wilderness of this world, and it was that vibration and higher reality of mind which in the scriptures is portrayed as Joshua (Yeshua/Jesus) -- and it is this reality of manifest mind that in the Torah, was required to take the Children of Israel across the Jordan and into the Promised Land -- the scriptures speak of inner realities of body, mind/soul and spirit that each of us must bring about within us.   And in a comparison of the true spiritual meaning of both the Old and New Testaments, the Apostle Peter in the Clementine Homilies confirms that they are both the same -- i.e., "Moreover, if any one has been thought worthy to recognize both as preaching one doctrine, that man has been counted rich in God, understanding both the old things as new in time, and the new things as old.” (see Things Christians Don't Tell Jews About The New Testament).  Therefore, it is only man's ignorance with respect to his own religious teachings that is responsible for the conflict between the three religions -- and world peace cannot be achieved, because of The Three Lies promoted by each of the religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.   That Martin Buber is correct, and that a Messiah is always present in the earth, is not recognized because of the sectarian ignorance promoted by the doctrines of all three religions.   That the spiritual core of Judaism believes that the historical Yeshua/Jesus, as a Messiah who ushered in the Final Temple, cannot be acknowledged because of the paganism of Christianity and the idolatry of the Church in the worship of Jesus as God in accord with the doctrines of the Emperor Constantine.   Moreover, this same idolatry not only was instrumental in the creation of Islam, but is the very reason why Muslims view Christians as worshiping a false god.   But Islam itself has fallen victim to the same corrupting forces of this world, and has become the catalyst that has fueled the fires of dissension and hypocrisy that has alienated all three religions from the True Spiritual Objectives and Goals of the Torah, the New Testament, as well as the Qur'an.   And because of the Spiritual Apostasy of all three religions, the Laws of God have in fact brought about the present world conflict, because each of the three religions are themselves spiritually blind to their own Essence.

In the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas it is written: (12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being."   So to once again restore the teachings of TheWay which is today known as Christianity, the Lord has sent Jacob/James, the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus, back into the world in order to guide the faithful flock into the Truth, the Light, and the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21).   It is there that my brother Yeshua/Jesus awaits you.

The above warning with respect to the predicted corruption of Yeshua's teachings is further stated in the first century writings known today as the Clementine Recognitions where it is written: "Our Lord and Prophet, who hath sent us, declared to us that the wicked one, having disputed with Him forty days, and having prevailed nothing against Him, promised that he would send apostles from amongst his subjects, to deceive.  Wherefore, above all, remember to shun apostle or teacher or prophet who does not first accurately compare his preaching with that of James, who was called the brother of my Lord, and to whom was entrusted to administer the church of the Hebrews in Jerusalem, — and that even though he come to you with witnesses: lest the wickedness which disputed forty days with the Lord, and prevailed nothing, should afterwards, like lightning falling from heaven upon the earth, send a preacher to your injury, as now he has sent Simon upon us, preaching, under pretense of the truth, in the name of the Lord, and sowing error. Wherefore He who hath sent us, said, ‘Many shall come to me in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them.’" 

Again it is warned by Clement: "Wherefore observe the greatest caution, that you believe no teacher, unless he bring from Jerusalem the testimonial of James the Lord’s brother, or of whosoever may come after him. For no one, unless he has gone up thither, and there has been approved as a fit and faithful teacher for preaching the word of Christ, — unless, I say, he brings a testimonial thence, is by any means to be received. But let neither prophet nor apostle be looked for by you at this time, besides us. For there is one true Prophet, whose words we twelve apostles preach"

As predicted, the ministers of Satan have succeeded in altering the teachings of my brother Yeshua, and continue to lead many into the abyss of darkness.   But have no fear my brothers and sisters, for the teachings of TheWay has been restored so that you might be able to overcome the darkness, and enter the Kingdom of Light within you (Luke 17:20-21).

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

The Ebionite HomePage: If you call yourself a Christian, Jew, Messianic believer, Evyonim, Nazarene or Muslim, then it is imperative that you learn of the Ebionites who are True Spiritual Israel -- They are the Poor Ones to the ways and thinking of this world -- The Ebionites were the Israelites of the Nazirene Vow They are/were the Genuine Disciples of Yeshua/Jesus who are in the world and not of it!   
 

The Nazirene HomePage: The original spiritual teachings of Yeshua/Jesus as practiced by the people of The Way who where known historically as the Essenes, Ebionites, and Nazirenes. The teachings of The Way are Spiritual -- and provide a means to open the "strait gate" into the Kingdom while still physically alive in the body/vessel.  
 

The Master Index:  The Index of Nazirene Ebionite web sites and the Original Teachings of TheWay   
 

The Ten Words:  That restores the teachings of Jesus and TheWay to their original spiritual environment.     
 

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

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

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

 
 
 

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

 
 

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

Gospel of the Nazirenes -- Gospel Of Light: What did the Gospels look like before being edited and re-written by the Church of Rome? What were the original beliefs of the first followers of Yeshua? You will be astonished when you read a surviving text of The Gospel of the Nazirenes which was hidden away from the corrupters of the Roman Church. Are you ready for a truly enlightening experience?  
 

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