The Folly Of The Atheists -- Myth? Or Allegory? What is the Difference?

An organization of New Jersey Atheists has inadvertently  demonstrated their own ignorance in a billboad with the message: You Know it's a Myth This Season Celebrate REASON!    In not understanding the difference between a myth and an allegory, the very group of Atheists who promote reason, have totally discredited themselves.  

In view of the statement by Paul and the other biblical authors that the higher reality of the soul and the Kingdom is incomprehensible to what the Apostle portrays as the "natural" mind of man (see Mystery Of The Gospel) -- and that understanding and comprehension of man's higher soul and spiritual reality requires a great deal of development and maturity -- then it can be concluded that the Atheists who are responsible for the billboard message, are totally deficient in the reason which they espouse.  While it is true that the original teachings of Jesus did not promote either Christmas or Easter as belonging to the Gospel teachings -- yet, when these traditions are understood for what is presented in the meaning of the allegory, they are of the utmost importance to anyone wishing to bring about the necessary expansion of mind that enables the individual to perceive and comprehend what Paul portrayed as incomprehensible.   And if it is asked why this was not made more clear to the student of the Gospels?  While this human fact of life is made very plain at this link (see Mystery Of The Gospel), it remains ignored.

While it can be stated that the congregation of believing Christians have somewhat of an excuse because the true meaning of the Gospel is simply beyond their comprehension, this same excuse cannot be extended to the Atheist critic who promotes the use of reason in the rejection of these ancient traditions which are anything but a myth -- and very much an allegorical Truth of paramount importance in the life of all of mankind.   Why?  While it is factually asserted that the meaning of the great spiritual truths that are embedded within the allegory are incomprehensible to the "natural" human mind, it is also true that the countless allegories presented in the Gospels cannot bring about their intended expansion of mind which enables the individual to evolve their comprehension to the level where they can begin to understand their own higher soul and spiritual reality, if they fail to exercise these traditions in the physical.   And it is this higher understanding that can only be brought about by following the path of TheWay that is presented in the Gospels, that can bring about a Higher Expression of Reason that is beyond the comprehension of the Atheists who have promoted the folly of this billboard (see All Genuine Religions Are Spiritual/Gnostic).      

What is the alternative to the traditions?  The problem is seen in the fact that there is absolutely nothing in the educational organizations of modern man that even has the potential to bring about the necessary expansion of mind beyond man's human organic level of reasoning.  Where our educational systems remain hell-bent on the objective of programming the child's thinking, it never dawns on the pseudo-intellectuals that if the mind is developed along certain lines, that the child possesses the innate ability to tap into a Source of Knowledge that greatly exceeds all of man's storehouses of worldly knowledge.   And as demonstrated in detail in the article A Spiritual Encounter With The One Teacher And True Prophet, man must become the environment that is biblically portrayed as the "good ground", in order to bring about this necessary expansion of mind that permits the individual to begin to be taught by what the original disciples of Jesus portrayed as the True Prophet.   And while modern Quantum Physics has already proven the validity of the higher reality that the biblical authors have witnessed to mankind (see Science Proves), to their own demise the body of Atheists remain in denial of Proven Truths which they simply refuse to acknowledge -- and the rejection of which, immerse them in a state of profound ignorance.

There comes a point in the development of the soul where the seeker of Truth becomes aware that none of what is presented in the Gospel is historically accurate.   In fact, the authors of the scriptures intentionally inserted historical fabrications and frauds directly into the text of the what is now the Bible, for the express purpose of inhibiting the sincere seeker from believing the literal written text (see Reply To The God Who Wasn't There).  And if we pose the question as to why the biblical authors would intentionally insert untruths and fabrications into the textual body of the scriptures, the question is answered by the Church Father Origen who was portrayed as the prince of Christian learning in the third century, when is explained:  “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).   And while this biblical fact is clearly stated, those Atheist critics who do not possess the adequate reason necessary to comprehend what is clearly and plainly written, are themselves too ignorant to understand.   And while this inability to comprehend the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom is a fact of human life that has plagued mankind from the beginning, the suggestion of the Atheists to abandon these traditions, gives new meaning to their condition of intellectual bankruptcy.    And thus, what we have here is the perfect example of the biblical assertion that the Dead Know Nothing.  

Why would the authors of the scriptures intentionally insert historical untruths and fabrications into the scriptures?  While is it demonstrated that it is impossible for man in his human organic condition to comprehend the higher reality of his soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom, the various rituals and traditions have the ability to act as a catalyst that connects the individual to his own higher reality that he is not aware of while in the physical body-vessel.    And by consciously engaging these rituals and traditions that have the capacity to act as a catalyst, a path is begun to be opened within the individuals mind and being that connects them to that inner reality which Jesus portrayed as the One Teacher.   And while the Atheist who rejects these allegorical catalysts bring upon themselves a condition that can only be portrayed as mentally and spiritually flat-lined, the epitome of their ignorance is seen in their attempt to coerce others into abandoning the very catalyst-oracles that they need in order to progress beyond the absolute confusion inherent in the organic human condition.   While the biblical authors would have very much liked to speak more openly and plainly -- due to the fact that organic man does not naturally possess the mental resources to comprehend his own higher soul-reality, it would have been impossible to compose the scriptures any differently than what they did.

A Spiritual Encounter With The One Teacher And True Prophet!!!

Where is the Truth that will Set You Free?   The question set before you this day is if you are sincerely seeking the Truth -- the Whole Truth -- and nothing but the Truth?   If you are, then you are numbered among a very select few -- so few, in fact, that you are truly a rare individual.   And what of the rest of the believing community?   The sincerity of every seeker who finds themselves guided to this article will be tested, as they encounter a fork in the road that they are presently walking. From a doctrinal perspective, the original Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus have long been condemned as heretics by the Church. Yet, it is a fact that their voice has been silenced -- and the Christian world has been deprived of even hearing their witness to the facts. That is, until now!!! Were the original (Jewish) followers and disciples of Jesus the heretics that they have been portrayed as? Too Jewish to comprehend the teachings of Jesus? Or were they themselves the enlightened and anointed disciples who were raised up as a witness to the Truth and TheWay? How you answer these questions will greatly impact your walk with the Lord.   In fact, how you answer these questions will greatly determine if you are a sincere seeker of Truth -- and if you are walking the path that leads to the "narrow strait gate", or the broad-way of self-destruction.

In an obscure and little used writing historically known as the Clementine Homilies and Recognitions , we can bring forth a certain quotation attributed to the Apostle Peter that confronts all modern day seekers with a spiritual reality that gives new meaning to the warning of Paul that the congregation of believers will reject the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom as utter "foolishness" (see Mystery Of The Gospel).  And this long ignored statement goes to the very core principles of the Gospel -- as seen in the words of Peter to his disciple Clement: “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.  And then Peter explained about the enigma of the scriptures: "...therefore great care is to be taken, that when the law of God is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind. For there are many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived for himself; and this ought not to be done. For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without". 

If these words are representative of what Peter truly meant, then everything that the religious world thinks it knows about Spiritual Truth, is little more than dogmatic error.   Why?   Because these words not only confirm the warning of Paul and other biblical authors that the scriptures are an allegory (see Mystery Of The Gospel) -- and that the true meaning is incomprehensible to what Paul portrayed as the "natural" mind of man -- which also means that when these words are understood in conjunction with those of Peter's in his Epistle that "But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation" (2 Peter 1:20 NASB), a totally different and spiritual meaning arises out of the Gospel that is not at all understood by the modern Christian.  In fact, these important spiritual concepts demonstrate the validity of the original Ebionite and early Church assertion that the scriptures are allegorical accounts that are designed for the instruction of entry-level believers, and that only the True Prophet (aka Son of God) can reveal to the mind of the individual disciple the true spiritual meaning of the written word of the scriptures.   And this is why Jesus commanded his disciples not to be called rabbi or teacher, because there is only One Teacher that all must seek out and learn from (see The True Prophet).   

Peter warns that the meaning of the scriptures is not open to "...one's own interpretation" -- which means that you just can't open the Bible as Christians attempt to do today, and decipher the meaning for yourself.   Peter warns that "...when the law of God is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind" -- which confirms the warning of Paul that the natural mind of man will reject the true meaning of the scriptures as "foolishness" (see Mystery Of The Gospel).   And while Christians are known to regularly hold group Bible studies -- and they consult a whole host of commentaries published by countless self-proclaimed authorities who all ignore the warning: "...For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without".   The fact that these warnings are both ignored and rejected, is the very reason why the Christian world remains totally ignorant of the true meaning of the Gospel today.   Moreover, the only reason why the original Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus -- as well as many of the pre-Nicene Church Authorities -- are today rejected as heretics, is because the leaders of the Church have long rejected these words which reveal a totally different religion that was in total and absolute conflict with that of the Roman Emperors who determined what doctrines Christians were permitted to believe.

What this means is not only that each person must be individually taught by the One Teacher which the early followers of Jesus portrayed as the True Prophet (see The True Prophet) -- but that the level of instruction that each believer could receive, was in accord with their own spiritual condition and wholeness -- a condition and reality presented in the parable of the Sower and the Seed -- which means that each individual is taught in relation to their own spiritual condition in relation to that condition which Jesus portrayed as their striving to become the "good ground".

Were the Ebionite Nazirenes and the Spiritual (Gnostic) Christians really the heretics that they were portrayed as by that segment of the Church which called itself Orthodox?   Or, were those who portrayed themselves as being Orthodox, not the "good ground" that Jesus stated was necessary to create within the body and mind of the individual believer that condition which was called The Final Temple -- which enabled the individual disciple to fulfill the requirements of becoming the High Priest -- enabling them to enter their own inner Holy of Holies and learn directly from The True Prophet (Son of God)?

These long ignored and suppressed teachings of Peter presents a totally different perspective of the core Gospel teachings -- teachings which belong to a purely Spiritual religion that is not at all understood by the body of believers today.   Moreover, these suppressed teachings portray the original Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus as totally faithful to the core Gospel teachings that were not at all understood by that segment of the Church which called itself Orthodox.   But even more important is the reality that, now that the truth can be told, which choice in the fork in the road will you take?   Will you continue down what Jesus portayed as the "broad-way" of self-destruction that the great number of people follow (see GateOfEden.com)?   Or will you do as Jesus commanded and pick up your own cross and travail in TheWay?   And seek to enter the "narrow strait gate" that enters in to Life -- i.e., "...But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NIV).

It was foretold by Jesus that those who know the truth will be hunted down and murdered in the name of the god that the people worship.   And it was foretold by Paul that the Church which calls itself Christian, will in fact worship the AntiChrist in place of God (see Church Of the AntiChrist).   And to accomplish this, that power of the left hand which is biblically portrayed as the god of this world, had to inhibit the congregation of believers from doing as Jesus commanded in becoming the "good ground" -- which spiritual condition would enable them to be taught directly by the True Prophet/Son of God.   Thus, in order to be seduced by that power of the left hand which Jesus warned would alienate even the Elect from the Truth (see Prince Of The Left Hand), the believers had to be made complacent in their seeking the Truth and the Kingdom.   First they had to be converted into the worship of Jesus, instead of the imitation of Jesus as the pattern (see TheTenWords.com).   Then they had to be programmed to believe that they were rewarded with salvation by a mere proclamation of faith with their lips -- totally apart and separate from the way they actually lived their daily lives.   And it was then an easy task to convince the body of blind believers that they would inherit salvation by virtue of their physical death when they passed from this life.

Another Gay Clergy? Why?

Almost as commonplace predictable as female teachers having sex with their students, is the recent headline: Georgia Megachurch Pastor Reveals He's Gay .   But perhaps the greatest sin is seen in the fact that the Church is totally without answers as to why this pastor was born gay.   In fact, if the Rev. Jim Swilley (see Blog) was truly a Christian -- as fulfilling the definition of the word that is rhetorically thrown around with spiritual indifference to the core meaning of the term Christ and Christian -- then he would know why he was born Gay?   If the Rev. Jim Swilley was truly a Christian, he would explain to the people in his congregation why he was born homosexual -- the purpose and objectives of living a life as a homosexual clergy of a megachurch -- and how the people in his congregation can assist him in fulfilling these higher objectives.   But because the Rev. Swilley is not a Christian -- and his homosexuality is not the primary issue -- Rev. Swilley stands before his congregation with absolutely no real answers to his dilemma.

Will the Rev. Swilley embrace the truly convoluted interpretation of the scriptures that has been championed by Bishop Gene Robinson (see Reply: Same Sex Acts Unnatural For Heterosexuals)?    When I confronted Bishop Robinson's office with the facts that are presented in this article, they became overtly hostile.   In fact, the assertion of Bishop Robinson that God did not possess the vision to foresee that some men "...would be born being affectionately-oriented to people of the same sex", is patently absurd!    And while the article exposes the folly of the dogmatic explanations of the Gay community which is attempting to promote the homosexual clergy as being approved and ordained by the Gospel, the question that has been set before the Rev. Swilley is raised in the article entitled Lutheran Clergy - Cultural Or Spiritual Leaders? You Decide!!!    And thus, the question is presented: Which is the greater sin -- i.e., being Gay?  Or not knowing why one is Gay?   And if this ever growing list of influential clergy were in fact Christian -- in accord with the meaning of the word Christian -- then they would not only know why the Laws (of God) made them gay -- but they would know the objectives of the life that they are presently living as a gay clergy.  

While the answers to their dilemma can be found in the above articles, if this group of clergy was to actually embrace the original Gospel teachings that are pertinent to the circumstances of their life at the present, they would have to release themselves from the cloak of latter-day Phariseeism who threw away the Key of Knowledge -- and they would have to begin to walk the path that would make them an actual Christian in the Spiritual sense of the word.   And in so doing, they would truly become a shepherd of the present congregation of spiritually disenfranchised blind believers who should be the Light of the world.    But to do so, they must throw off the chains of Roman Paganism that has anchored the Church to the abyss of absolute spiritual ignorance, and take their rightful place as the true source of Knowledge and Light that is intended to be manifest for the salvation of the world.   We don't need another gay pastor -- but we are in despirate need of clergy who understand the reason why the Laws orchestrate the lives of not only gay people -- but of all people.

Thus, as Moses stated: This day I have set before you the paths of The Two Ways -- i.e., on the right is TheWay of Life and the Kingdom; and on the left is the broad-way of self destruction that the multitude walk ("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" [Mt 7:13-14]).   And the fact that you must seek and enter the Kingdom while still physically alive in the body-vessel -- and this cannot be accomplished after you physically die -- is a spiritual reality not at all understood by the modern faith-based Church (see GateOfEden.com).   Therefore, if being gay has brought the Rev. Swilley to this important crossroads, then being gay can be a positive reality in his life.   But if he embraces the convoluted dogma of the Bishop Robinson that when the scriptures were written "It never occurred to anyone in ancient times that a certain minority of us would be born being affectionately-oriented to people of the same sex" -- then like Bishop Robinson, the Rev. Swilley will be totally defeated by his gay dilemma.   If, as Jesus taught, not even a sparrow can fall to the earth apart from the Will of God (Mt 10:29), then not only was the Rev. Swilley born gay for a reason, but as one comes to understand the Laws That Perfect Man, then it must be recognized that that with knowledge and understanding, the Rev. Swilley's homosexuality can in fact be turned into an opportunity that ultimately can be for the benefit of many.
