Reply To The Daily Beast: Everyone’s Favorite Gospel Is a Forgery
The Daily Beast is basically a political news website that has proven it
can't even begin to grasp the purpose of the Gospels and the higher reality of
the soul. In an article entitled:
Everyone's Favorite Gospel is a Forgery, author Candida Moss demonstrates
why a political news site is incapable of comprehending matters of a spiritual
reality and nature. Opening her article Ms. Moss writes:
"New research is poised to overturn much of what we
know about everyone’s favorite biography of Jesus." Which
statement in and of itself is proof of why a political news site should not
publish articles they know nothing about.
While it is true that there are those within the Church who look upon the
Gospels as historical accounts on the life of the historical man Jesus, their ignorance of
the purpose and objective of the Gospels is their adherence to the dogma of 4th
century pagan Rome when the emperor Constantine converted the Jesus of the
Gospels into the latest incarnation of the Mithraic sun-god (see
Christ Before Jesus
http://OriginalGospel.ebionite.com/#ChristBeforeJesus ).
And it was in that time-frame that the newly formed Church of Constantine
recreated the Gospels into historical accounts that like the Jews, threw away
the Key of Knowledge (see
http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ). In fact, the article states:
"By contrast, the Gospel of John’s most disturbing
and anti-Semitic statements are placed on the lips of Jesus. When Jesus calls
'the Jews' the 'sons of their father the Devil' modern readers should recoil in
horror (John 8:40-48). Verses like this one nurtured, if not spawned, violence
and anti-Semitism from the medieval period until the present. Perhaps it’s
better for everyone if Jesus never said this."
While the Gospels are not historical accounts, the question must be posed as
to why the author would portray Jesus as stating such a charge against the Jews?
Fundamentally, when the spiritual purpose and meaning of the Gospels are
understood in their original context (see
The Cosmology Of The Gospels
http://GospelCosmology.Ebionite.com ), not only the Jews
but modern Christians as well who throw away the Key of Knowledge, are equally
the spawn or offspring of what would constitute the Devil When I
state that the Gospels are not historical accounts -- but rather, allegorically
accounts of the Mind -- this means that whoever attempts to interpret the
scriptures outwardly and/or historically, would in like manner throw away the Key of Knowledge as
those portrayed spiritually as the
"spawn of the
Devil". What this means is that the vast majority of
Evangelical Christians are merely another type of Jew by a different name.
When you properly utilize the scriptures for their original intended purpose by
turning them within your own Mind and Being (see
The Application Of The Key Of Knowledge
http://KeyOfKnowledge.org#ApplicationOfTheKeyOfKnowledge
), then the body and mind begins the process of transformation into the Final
Temple that provides the person with access into the Inner Kingdom. Thus,
anyone who attempts to interpret these sacred writings externally, is throwing
away the Key of Knowledge in the manner of the Jews.
While the Christians, like the Jews before them, look for the Kingdom to come outwardly upon the earth, the Gospel
itself states that the Kingdom will never come upon the earth, because it is
within you -- and it is therein that you must seek it:
"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). If the words of Jesus are true --
and the Kingdom is within you -- then the question that Christians should be
asking, is how must the Kingdom be entered? The answer is the proper application
of the Key of Knowledge by turning the scriptures within your own mind and being
-- 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 Jews, 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/historical 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). 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.
In the Bible translation known as The Message, the above reality of Jesus' words
with respect to the usage of the Key of Knowledge is portrayed in true clarity.
In this translation when Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in
him and said:
"If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my
disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the
truth will free you" (John 8:31-32 TheMessage) -- and once again, neither
Christian or Jew who have thrown away the Key of Knowledge can understand these
words which are of the utmost importance. Jesus didn't say that they would
believe the truth -- or that they would discern what they believed would be
dogmatic truth out of the scriptures or some book written by other men -- but
rather, Jesus conveyed to them that if they follow in TheWay, that they
"...will experience for yourselves the truth, ...and
it is this SELF-EXPERIENCED TRUTH that...will free you" from the
error and ignorance that consumes the people of this world -- and especially the
blind guides who portray themselves as rabbis, teachers, clergy, religious
leaders and authorities.
Taking the above one step further, I fully realize that many Bible translations
simply refuse to interpret Luke 17:21 correctly. In analysis of this great
biblical controversy, Robertson’s Word Pictures of the New Testament writes:
“What Jesus says to the Pharisees is that they, as
others, are to look for the kingdom of God within themselves, not in outward
displays and supernatural manifestations. It is not a localized display ‘Here’
or ‘There.’ It is in this sense that in Luke 11:20 Jesus spoke of the kingdom of
God as ‘come upon you,’ speaking to Pharisees”. The article then
goes on to add that the only other instance of the Greek word
“entos” being used in the New
Testament, is at Matthew 23:26, where the Pharisees are told to clean
“the inside of the cup”. Moreover,
the Wescott and Hort Greek text, as well as most other authorities, render the
translation of this word:
“inside of you is”.
Which means that the original teachings of TheWay was a system whereby the
seeker/disciple takes the yoke of Messiah/Christ upon themselves -- picking up
their own cross and travailing in TheWay -- which enables the disciple to enter
through the
"narrow gate" and dwell
in the Kingdom, while still physically alive in the body -- overcoming the
division of heaven and earth within the person -- i.e., the Lord commanded his
followers to
"Enter through the narrow gate. For
wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter
through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and
only a few find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NIV). Because the Church threw
away the Key of Knowledge, and adopted pagan dogmatic doctrines of belief, the
Christian world sits idly complacent on the side of the
"broad-way ...that leads to destruction" -- giving lip
service and worshiping their brother, that they must themselves imitate, in
order to enter into Life. And it was for this reason that the Adam Clark
Commentary stated that if the original Gospel portrayal of the historical man
Jesus was correct, that
"...the whole Christian system is vain and
baseless"!!! (see
The
Ten Words).
