The Restored Gospel and the Ebionite Heresy

The Restored Gospel And The Ebionite Heresy

The article on the Restored Gospel Teachings is presented in two section -- i.e., the (1) first providing insight into how the original Gospels transformed the mind and many of the ultra-important teachings that were removed from the Gospels by the pagan Church of Rome; and (2) the second section presents important historical information that is not available anywhere else.  Quoting from the second section at Christ Before Jesus http://OriginalGospel.ebionite.com/#ChristBeforeJesus 

When rightly understood, the Roman Empire was not converted to the religion of Jesus -- but rather, the personage and image of Jesus was converted to Mithraism -- and it is easy to prove and demonstrate that even the name Christian is drawn directly from Mithraicism.  And while there appears on the surface to be many similarities between Mithraism and the Gospel account of Jesus, these similarities are based upon the allegorical symbols that portray the Universal Cosmology of Mind that is not at all understood by the body of faith-based believers.   This is a fact: If you are a modern Christian, then the most basic and fundamental tenets of belief that you hold as truth, not only has nothing in common with the positions of the people who Jesus personally taught -- but if a believer that Jesus personally taught came to visit your Church, they would be labeled a heretic.  Therefore the question must be posed: Was the man Jesus an incompetent teacher who was unable to clarify what is necessary for salvation?  Or, was the original teachings of Jesus changed and corrupted?   

Who were the Ebionites?  In the first century, all believers and followers of Jesus were known as Ebionites. Thus, the early Church Authority Epiphanius writes that the name Ebionite "...was at first ...a common name for all" the original followers of Jesus (Epiphanius Adv. Haer., xxix. 1).  Yet today the name Ebionite is often portrayed as heresy.  Why?  If all the original followers of Jesus were Ebionites, as Epiphanius stated, then why are these earliest followers of Jesus portrayed as the heresy of the Ebionites?  Because the Church that evolved out of the Roman and Greek Gentiles had virtually nothing in common with the original Gospel teachings.   In fact, in the manner of the modern faith-based believers, the Church that evolved out of the body of Gentile believers totally rejected the core foundation of the New Covenant (see Old Vs New Covenants http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#OldVsNewCovenants ).  

There is a factual assertion that I can set before you that is an undeniable truth that all faith-based believers must eventually confront -- i.e., as a believer, you have never so much as heard the position of the original followers of Jesus that has been labeled the Ebionite heresy.   Designed to be used as the Key of Knowledge that unlocks the inner "narrow strait" Gate of Eden  within the mind of the sincere seeker, the Gospels were written by Ebionites who authored the scriptures to be used in a New Covenant Mode and Mindset that was totally rejected by the Gentile Church.   Where the plight of man is portrayed in the statement: "Therefore the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken" (Gen 3:23), the Force and Barrier that causes man to wander in this, the "Outer Darkness" of what is portrayed as the Far Country in the parable of the prodigal son, inhibits mankind from returning to his True Home and Source of Being in the Edenic Kingdom of their Heavenly Father -- placing a barrier between this world and the Kingdom as declared in the statement: "So He drove out the man and stationed cherubim to the east of the Garden of Eden, with a whirling sword of flame to guard the way to the tree of life" (Gen 3:24).  BUT, when the Gospels are used as the Key of Knowledge as designed by the Ebionite authors, mankind as the lost prodigal sons and daughters can safely pass through the  inner  "narrow strait gate" that enables the seeker safe passage by the "cherubim" who guard the Tree of Life with their "whirling sword of flame", and allow entrance to the Edenic Kingdom within.  Jesus declared to his followers: "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."   When Jesus commanded those who would be his followers: “And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matt 10:38-39) -- it will remain virtually impossible for you to enter through the "narrow strait gate" within you, without using the Gospels as the Key of Knowledge that enables you to pass by the "cherubim" who guard the Tree of Life with their "whirling sword of flame" -- thereby escaping the "outer darkness" of this, the Far Country -- and gain entrance to the Edenic Kingdom within you (see The Application Of The Key Of Knowledge http://KeyOfKnowledge.org#ApplicationOfTheKeyOfKnowledge ).  "How terrible it will be for you experts in religious law! For you hide the key to knowledge from the people. You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering" (Luke 11:52).  Thus, in understanding these words spoken to the Pharisees, the questions must be asked: How did the Pharisees and Jewish authorities "...hide the key to knowledge from the people"?   Why did Jesus condemn the leaders of the Jews for failing to enter the Kingdom themselves? -- i.e., "...You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves"!   And how did the religious leaders of the Jews "...prevent others from entering?"   In further clarification, the TEV version of the this verse states: “How terrible for you teachers of the Law! You have kept the key that opens the door to the house of knowledge; you yourselves will not go in, and you stop those who are trying to go in!” (Luke 11:52 TEV).  

What the above means is that if you fail to utilize the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge -- turning them within your own mind in order to open the "narrow strait gate" within you -- thereby enabling you to acquire the Power and Ability to safely pass by the "cherubim" who guard the Tree of Life with their "whirling sword of flame", then you are not a follower of Jesus and the New Covenant.   The author and visionary Philip K. Dick was able to recall his Soul's previous life in the first century where he lived as an original follower of Jesus.  He also wrote with respect to the original disciples of Jesus that:  "Christ ...taught his followers how to enter the kingdom while still alive, where other mystery religions only bring about amnesis: knowledge of it at the 'other time' in 'the other realm,' not here.  He causes it to come here, and is the living agency to the Sole Good God (i.e. the Logos)."    This is true -- and that the original Gospel message was to develop the mind through the transformative process of expansion and deepening of consciousness, and then enable the disciple of TheWay to gain entrance into the Inner Kingdom, is easily demonstrated in the above quotations on the proper use of the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge. 

As a Mystery religion, the objective of the religion was to acquire what Philip K. Dick portrays above at the ability to bring about amnesis, which can be defined as observing through meditation in the manner of the traditional monk.  BUT, as Philip K. Dick confirms what is presented in the Gospel teachings, Jesus taught his followers how to enter the Kingdom -- and through the Anointing (Messiah/Christ) of the Mind, enabling his disciples to be taught directly from the One and Only Teacher that Jesus instructed his followers to seek out and learn from (see The One Teacher http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheOneTeacher ).   Few modern believers even understand the foundation of The New Covenant -- i.e., "For this is the covenant that I will make ...says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.  None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them" (Heb 8:10-11 NKJ).  Yet, the Christian world has rejected the very foundation of the New Covenant by virtue of countless teachers, Bible Commentaries, a mass of Bible interpretations  and the adoption of man-made dogma that inhibits the believer's spiritual advancement.  Thus, the reality of the words of Isaiah have enveloped the modern faith-based believers in the quagmire of their own self-imposed spiritual shackles: "For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed" (Isa 9:6).    And when rightly understood, the resounding truth is that the modern believers have chosen tradition and man-made dogma over the Knowledge of the Original Teachings associated with the New Covenant -- i.e., "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee..." (Hos 4:6).
