Are Christians Greater Sinners Than The Unbelievers?

Are Christians Greater Sinners Than The Unbelievers?  I recently received a letter from a concerned Christian who had relatives who were ardent readers of the Ebionite Nazirene Restoration articles (see Master Index).   To this person I wrote:

I am truly glad to hear that you have a number of family members who are devoted seekers of higher spiritual truth -- and have used my writings in their endeavor to find the Truth.  With respect to the Gospel of Thomas, the Homilies of Clement, the Shepherd of Hermas and the Epistle of Barnabas, these are representative of the earliest wrings of the first-century Church.  In view of the fact that the Shepherd of Hermas was the most popular and used scripture over the first three centuries -- and is contained in the oldest complete Bible we have -- do you really think it was removed from the canonical Gospels because God changed His Mind?  I don't think so.  (see http://nazirene.org/shepherd_of_hermas.htm ).  Of Hermas it has been stated  "In Hermas' dialogue with the Shepherd, among the many instructions that are given to him, the issue of post-baptismal sin is discussed. It is revealed to Hermas that anyone who sins after baptism is given the opportunity to repent only once. Any sin that is committed afterwards is viewed extremely dismally and the implication is given that such an individual will no longer be able to obtain forgiveness. Various interpretations have been applied to this doctrine of penance for post- baptismal sins. For example, it is possible to view Hermas as one who is compromising the area of Christian repentance, one who acts as a reformer and exhorts the Church to holy living, or even one who is of such intense eschatological anticipation that he believes there will be no possibility of further repentance." But is this any different than the statement of Paul that "For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who ...then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.. For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." (Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV).   

 
And when it is pointed out that the Apostle Peter warns that the fate of those who believe otherwise -- i.e., the followers of pseudo-shepherds who attempt to portray Jesus as a pagan mojo that enables the believer to continue to sin after escaping the corruptions of this world -- that their fate is such that "...they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning" (see Worse Off Than The Unbelievers).    With Peter concluding with respect to their fate: "It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them."   But the modern Christian has been so disenfranchised from the original Gospel teachings, that they have been rendered spiritually impotent -- to the degree that it is impossible for them to even come to terms with the teaching that the fate of the unbelievers is better than those who have come to the knowledge of the Gospel, and continued to sin. 

Actually, I don't need any of these writings -- and I use them only to demonstrate the earliest teachings that were suppressed by the Church of Constantine.  In the first century, my Soul was there -- as my Soul was in every subsequent century spanning the last 2000 years.   Therefore, I witnessed the corruption and the formation of the Faux-Church -- the teachings of which, you follow.  In this life I have journeyed into what you would call the Kingdom -- spoken with the Soul you worship about what I should and should not write -- and much of what I write is directly from Spirit.  

One of the things I was told to point out is the fact that anyone -- including yourself -- can use any and every version of the Gospels -- and prove that they have been corrupted, and that one of the most important teachings was removed.  So, you can take this fact as a test for you and all the people you know, that you will be confronted with when you pass from this life.  And what I make reference to is the removal of the verses on the Children which you can find at The Removal Of The Children http://BrotherOfYeshua.com/children.htm .

With the corruption of the Gospels in the fourth century in their endeavor to recreate Jesus as God incarnate, the very words reportedly spoken by God to mankind when he said of the man Jesus:  "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee" (see The Ebionite Nazirene Witness http://TheTenWords.com#Ebionite ).   And with respect to the other citations which support this original Gospel statement, The Adam Clark Commentary with regard to the passage at Hebrews 1:5 states: “This most important use of this saying has passed unnoticed by almost every Christian writer which I have seen; and yet it lies here at the foundation of all the apostle's proofs. If Jesus was not thus the Son of God, the whole Christian system is vain and baseless". If the original Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus who walked and talked with him daily -- and were taught directly by Jesus were correct as presented in these Words of God -- then truly the beliefs you hold and cling to are "...vain and baseless".  

Since you claim to be a knowledgeable student of the Gospels, you should therefore celebrate that you can now find an explanation of the proper application of the scriptures from an Original Author at http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ).   And if you goto the subheading  [You] Can I Get An Original Pure Copy Of The Scriptures http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#PureCopyOfScriptures , I convey to you how you can get an Original Gospel in its Original Language so that you will have access to the Pure Truth.  And for your edification I open this article with the statement: If you had an original copy of the Gospels, you could use them as a catalyst to achieve an Enlightened and Anointed State of Mind -- prevailing over self, and overcoming the division between you and your Heavenly Father.  If you had an original copy of the Gospels and used them as the authors intended them to be used, at this moment you could have been Restored to the Edenic Kingdom -- and having overcome even death, you would dwell with your elder brother Jesus.  And if you are a sincere seeker -- whether Jewish, Christian or Muslim -- after you understand the true spiritual value and reality of the Original Gospels, I will tell you how to get possession of a copy of the Original Gospels.

What the above means is that when you pass from this life you will have no excuse for not knowing the Truth of all Truths.  And it was conveyed to me that with this restoral of the Original Teachings, I should convey to people such as yourself the words: "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin" (John 15:22 NKJ).  What this means is that the Christian world no longer has an excuse for promoting the dogma of pagan Rome, while ignoring the Original Gospel Teachings.  

Linear vs Intuitive Development Of The Mind

Linear vs Intuitive Development Of The Mind (see  http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#LinearVsIntuitive ).

From the perspective of the development of mind as patterned in the Tree of Life, the mind and consciousness of mankind is limited by the interaction of the Male-Linear and Feminine-Intuitive Spheres of Mind -- which have the potential to bring together the paradoxical opposes of the higher spiritual and lower earthly Centers of Mind and Being -- merging the Four Trinities that make up the mind in the Center were the next stage of birth is initiated.   And when this interaction of male/female is understood, only then can we begin to understand woman as the "help-meet" and primary savior of man (see Woman As Man's Help-Meet And Savior ).   And where the scriptures reject sexual immorality -- including Jesus who condemned adultery (see Sexual Immorality ), is because sexual interaction between a husband and wife in a Divine Union has the capacity to initiate the development of mind through the process of deepening and expanding man's consciousness beyond the  Animal-Soul Level Of Consciousness).    Which provokes the question: While male and female unions are as common as man and woman, why don't these unions initiate the next stage of birth which the mystics make reference to?   Because the union must not be limited to the physical -- but rather, the dynamic interaction of mind and spirit in a state of absolute harmony that is able to raise the two up to a higher level of being.   Thus, together the husband and wife must seek to Know Self -- i.e., their true self -- while seeking Truth and the Inner Kingdom.   Why?   The answer is rather simple -- quoting from the subheading The Intuitive Mind Vs The Linear-Rational: In the introduction to the book Secrets of Mary Magdalene, Prof. Elain Pagels writes and quotes the Gospel of Philip: Simultaneously, the Gospel of Philip celebrates Mary Magdalene as manifesting the divine spirit, which this gospel calls the “virgin who came down” from heaven. When Christians spoke of Jesus “born from a virgin,” this author agrees—but refuses to take it literally. So some people, he says, take this literally to mean that Jesus’ mother became pregnant apart from any man, apart from sexual intercourse. But this, he says, is the “faith of fools” who fail to comprehend spiritual matters (although, as we note, it can be seen in the birth narratives offered in the New Testament gospels of Matthew and Luke). Instead, continues the Gospel of Philip, Jesus was born physically, just as all humans, as the son of biological parents. The difference, says the author of this gospel, that he was also “born again” in baptism--born spiritually to become the son of the Father above, and of the heavenly Mother, the Holy Spirit.   That one of the primary objectives of this life which we are presently living is to bring about and achieve the next stage of birth -- a non-physical birth which is allegorically portrayed as a Virgin Birth -- should be of primary importance to all people.    In the same way that Peter as representing the (male) linear-rational spheres of mind states of the intuitive visions and wisdom of Mary Magdalene:  "...These are certainly strange ideas", it is a fact that it is the lopsided development of what Einstein portrayed as the linear-rational servant that inhibits the development of the intuitive-gift -- i.e., as seen in Einstein's statement that “The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”     Without the balanced development of the intuitive spheres of mind, the linear-rational spheres which only senses outwardly, arrives at a point where it becomes what can be portrayed as flat-lined -- which in turn inhibits the further development of the linear rational servant from itself maturing beyond organic limitations.  

An interesting statement was made by Niels Bohr, the renowned physicist who once responded to his son's complaints about the obtuse nature of certain concepts in physics by saying (Quoted from The Monroe Institute Of Applied Sciences): "'You are not thinking, you are merely being logical.' The physics of altered human consciousness deals with some conceptualizations that are not easily grasped or visualized exclusively in the context of ordinary 'left brain' linear thinking. So, to borrow Dr. Bohr's mode of expression, parts of this paper will require not only logic but a touch of right brain intuitive insight to achieve a complete comfortable grasp of the concepts involved. Nevertheless, once that is done, I am confident that their construction and application will stand up to the test of rational critique."   And herein lies the great obstacle to human development that linear-intellectuals don't at all understand -- i.e., the reality that the linear programming of the mind which is the agenda of our educational systems -- including the reading of books and traditional study -- only serves to inhibit the development of the intuitive spheres of mind -- and it is the lack of balance between the inward looking intuitive and the outward looking linear-rational that inhibits the development of the mind beyond a certain very shallow organic physical level of maturity (see Animal-Soul Consciousness).    Further, what we are presented with are a number of paradoxes that have confronted man since he first stepped foot on the earth.   Thus, these proverbial questions must be confronted: Is the mind of a child empty?   Or, does a great source of knowledge already exist within the mind of the child that must be tapped into?   Do you instruct a child through rote programming in the manner of our educational systems today?   Or do you guide the child into an environment of self-discovery? Contrary to the popular misuse of the scriptures which are not at all historical accounts -- but rather allegorical accounts of mind and consciousness that employ symbols and catalysts to connect the person we are in this world with our Inner Knowing Self using the process of Anamnesis -- i.e., The Innate Knowledge Of The Truth Of All Truths:  Yet, our spiritually disenfranchised religions and our faux-educational systems inhibit the development of the Intuitive Spheres of Mind that are necessary to evolve the mind beyond the level of  Animal-Soul Consciousness. 

The problem is seen in the fact that the linear-rational servant can only look outwardly -- and not only remains totally ignorant of an inner reality that it is blind to -- but it demands that all of mankind ignore and even reject the higher causal reality that can only be sensed and understood through the development of the intuitive centers of mind.   Like the tip of the proverbial iceberg, what is observed protruding out of the water is very small in relation to the immense body of ice that is beyond man's normal scope of vision lying beneath the water line.   And because our culture and linear learning environment actually inhibits the development of the intuitive, it remains atrophied and latently embryonic and immature.   This is seen in the fact that when the leaders of the Jews (Pharisees) asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come upon the earth in the manner that they believed it would, he told them that it would never come upon the earth so as to be seen with their eyes (that look outwardly), because the Kingdom already exists within them (see http://GateOfEden.com ) -- and it is accessed through the development of the intuitive spheres of mind that are positioned to look inwardly -- which then must be balanced with the outward looking rational linear in order to achieve the evolved and transformed Oneness that Jesus stated was required to enter the Inner Kingdom.  

The proper development of the mind to break the natural barrier of what can be called organic human limitations, is dependent upon the interaction of the linear and intuitive spheres of mind.   But when the intuitive perception is inhibited, and development is suppressed, even the linear is flat-lined from any development beyond what is portrayed in the Gospels as carnal and restricted consciousness.    The linear mind of man remains limited in its development, because the intuitive remains infantile and shackled in a captive environment where it is only permitted to express itself in linear terms.  While the inward looking intuitive has the potential to access higher consciousness and states of mind and being, it is unable to arise to its intended potential because of the shackles placed upon it by a thoroughly domineering and controlling linear culture.    Like a woman who in many Islamic cultures are forced to dwell in an imprisoned world beneath a Burka -- not permitted to openly express herself except when accompanied by a male relative -- totally deprived of the ability to openly speak on her own behalf -- the natural expression of the intuitive mind has been so impeded by our linear-driven culture, that it has remained undeveloped and unreliable as a resource (see Opening And Unlocking the Mind).   Because the male-linear as portrayed as the portrayal of Peter takes the position that "...These are certainly strange ideas", when the perceptions of the feminine-intuitive is encountered, the merger of impressions can never be brought about -- thus, flat-lining the union at a very low-self carnal perception of man's true reality.
