The Church -- Is It The Spawn Of The Devil?

I was asked the questions:  If the Bible is not a history book, and Abraham is an allegory (Galatians 4:22-24), meaning he is a fictional person, not historical, which makes his descendants also fictional people, why would Jesus and the 12 disciples (symbolic of the 12 zodiac signs; 12 cranial nerves, etc,) be any different? Why would Jesus and James be historical people when most of the other Bible characters are not? Jesus made it clear that it is not his cross that saves anyone, so it is not necessary for him to have ever existed. (Matthew 16:13-28). Christians have made an absolute mess of this world because they changed a spiritual book into a literal and/or historical book, which only leads to mental and spiritual insanity.

The answer: Fiction means that the account is made up and is basically a meaningless story. If I write that the author's of the scriptures used a semi-historical facade to present important mental and spiritual facts and realities, that would not be the same as a fictional account.  The pre-Nicene Church Father Origen portrayed this reality of the scriptures where it is written: “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). With the exception of lessons in behavior, whatever is historical is basically worthless to bring about the process of transformative mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening to bring about the next stage of birth -- which is the objective of all genuine religions. Origen further explained in De Principiis that: “Where the word found that things done according to the history could be adapted to these mystical senses, he made use of them concealing from the multitude the deeper meaning; but where in the narrative of the development of super-sensual things, there did not follow the performance of those certain events which were already indicated by the mystical meaning, the scripture interwove in the history the account of some event that did not take place, sometimes what could not have happened; sometimes what could but did not.” So, in creating the quasi-historical facade, there are "...some event that did not take place, sometimes what could not have happened; sometimes what could but did not.”

Didn't Moses Maimonedes, one of the most respected of Jewish theologians, historian, and Talmudist, say the same exact thing as Origen when he writes about the nature of scripture: “Every time that you find in our books a tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of the spirit”. So, Moses Maimonedes states that many accounts in the scriptures are so absurd that they are  "repugnant to both reason and common sense" -- which also means that they are not historical accounts.  In like manner, the Church historian Eusebius who writes of the doctrines conceived by the early Christians Papias and Irenaeus: “Papias reproduces other stories communicated to him by word of mouth, together with some otherwise unknown parables and teachings of the Saviour, and other things of a more allegorical character. He says that 'after the resurrection of the dead there will be a period of a thousand years when Christ's kingdom will be set up on this earth in material form'. I suppose he got these notions by misinterpreting the apostolic accounts and failing to grasp what they said in mystic and symbolic language. For he seems to have been a man of very small intelligence, to judge from his books..." (Eusebius, Hist Eccl., Book III, 39.11). And Eusebius also stated that “Many were led astray by reading the allegorical contents of the scriptures literally in the method of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Was there an historical man Jesus? Yes there was. But the historical account is "worthless" if you read the scriptures in the manner of the Pharisees and Sadducees as the Christian does. So why? You ask? Are the scriptures composed in this manner? Let me quote from the expert who authored the original core Gospel (see The Process of Re-Engineering Beliefs, Myths & Folklore http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#Reengineering ):

Development beyond the natural limits of organic human consciousness, requires a balance and union of opposites within the mind of the person -- i.e., Linear and Intuitive, earthly and heavenly, inner and outer -- as expressed in the statement in the Gospel of Thomas as to when the Kingdom would come within the mind of the INDIVIDUAL seeker: "Jesus said to them, When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; ...then will you enter the kingdom." Therefore, in order to bring about the mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening of the mind of the person beyond organic human limitations, it is imperative to work within the framework of that person's existing beliefs. And from an infant mind-full perspective, it is this working within the person's existing framework of mind that creates the final product of re-engineered myths and folklore containing a series of symbols and catalysts that connects their normal organic consciousness with both a higher level of consciousness that exists within all of mankind, and ultimately connects the person to an Inner Source of Knowledge and Truth that exceeds all the cumulative knowledge of mankind throughout all the ages that mankind has walked the face of the earth (see The One Teacher http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheOneTeacher ). Unless the person brings about the interaction of opposites within the mind -- i.e., male/linear with female/intuitive, upper heavenly with lower earthly and inner and outer is brought about -- it will remain impossible to evolve the mind of the person beyond what can be portrayed as organic human consciousness (see Animal-Soul http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#animal ). Teaching the person new information, is little more than traditional linear rote programming that further alienates them from their Inner Source of Mind and Being. In order to evolve the mind of the person beyond the limits of organic human consciousness, you must work within the framework of their existing beliefs and foundational mindset -- re-engineering their existing beliefs with symbols and catalysts that Intuitively connect the Inner and the Outer.


And quoting a little further down on the page: The followers of Jesus were commanded to have One Teacher (see http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheOneTeacher ) -- i.e., "But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have One Teacher, and you are all brethren" (Matt 23:8). And this is why the Apostle Peter in the Homilies of his disciple Clement is quoted as commanding that, "...when the law of God (scriptures) is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind" -- not to seek an interpretation of the scriptures from any worldly source as seen in the words "...For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without". Jesus taught that there is only one Source of Truth, and the disciple/seeker must learn directly from that One Teacher -- and anyone who teaches a doctrine of belief based upon a human interpretation of the scriptures, is a sinner who has been turned out of TheWay (see The Condemnation Of Sects And Divisions http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CondemnationOfSects ). Further, anyone who attempts to teach another person the meaning and interpretation of the scriptures, is a minister and servant of the Anti-Christ. Why? Because when you teach the interpretative-meaning of the scriptures as is done in many Bible study groups, you negate the embedded symbols, and inhibit the catalysts that are designed to overcome the person's Spiritual Amnesia -- thereby defeating the very purpose of the scriptures. Moreover, by undermining the purpose of the embedded symbols and catalysts when you teach a person the meaning of the scriptures, you are inhibiting that person from connecting with the Inner Source of Knowledge within them, which is one of the primary objectives of the New Covenant teachings. When Christians attempt to teach other Christians the interpretative-meaning of the scriptures -- holding bible study to teach the meaning -- using commentaries that present "...a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without" -- they are not only negating the purpose and objective of the scriptures -- but they are inflicting grave harm on their fellow Christians.

When you teach someone -- or they read something -- then you are programming their Linear spheres of mind. On the other hand, the scriptures utilize allegorical catalysts that connect the person they are in this world, with their Inner Self and the Indwelling Teacher. If the scriptures are read as historical accounts, then you have thrown away the Key of Knowledge in the manner of the Pharisees of whom Jesus portrayed as blind guides who were the "spawn of the devil" -- i.e., "Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word." As to why the Jews could not understand the spiritual teachings and concepts, Jesus explained: "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:43-44). Quoting from Christianity - The Devil's Spawn http://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com : Their beliefs and doctrines which they taught and maintained, locked their thinking into a very carnal and low intellectual level of thinking that inhibited the people from making any progress in their development. Because as "blind guides", they threw away what Jesus portrayed as the Key of Knowledge (see The Application Of The Key Of Knowledge http://KeyOfKnowledge.org#ApplicationOfTheKeyOfKnowledge  ) -- just as the Christians do today. Which provokes the question: If the leaders of the Jews were incapable of understanding the teachings of Jesus -- i.e., "you not understand what I say" -- and were portrayed as the "spawn of the Devil" because they threw away the Key of Knowledge, then we must pose the question: If the modern Christian also throws away what Jesus portrayed as the Key of Knowledge, then aren't they also the "spawn of the Devil"?

When you interpret the scriptures historically -- or from a linear mindset -- then you negate and undermine the embedded allegorical catalysts that connect man's outer mind with the inner, thereby flat-lining all mental and spiritual development beyond organic consciousness.

Historical Facade And The Spiritual Meaning Of The Scriptures

Historical Facade And The Spiritual Meaning of the Scriptures

When rightly understood, the Bible is the absolute worst history book ever written -- and this fact was the intentional work of the authors. When it is said that the scriptures employ a semi-historical facade to convey important allegorical catalysts that are used to connect the person you are in this world with your inner Eternal Soul-Self -- and that the inconsistencies in the biblical text was intentionally inserted so that the scriptures could not be literally read from an historical perspective -- few people possess the "eyes to see" necessary to comprehend what is being stated. Quoting from The True (Unknown) Nature And Reality Of The Scriptures http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#UnknownTruth

One of the primary purposes of the Gospels was to convey to the prodigal son/daughter how to achieve Wholeness (see Wholeness of Mind & Being http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#wholeness ). But before this verse can be understood, we must first understand what it means to be Whole. Which provokes the question: How is Wholeness achieved? Contrary to the dogma of the modern Church, if Jesus is the savior who every person needs for salvation, then Jesus himself said the Church was wrong, and those who are Whole do not need him. And as a physician, Jesus did not come for the salvation of those who are Whole, but only for those who are sick and in need of a physician. And in total opposition to Church dogma, what this also means is that at the time the historical man Jesus walked the face of the earth, there existed people who he portrayed as "whole [and] righteous" who did not need Jesus the physician. Jesus openly states that his mission as a spiritual physician is not for them, because they achieved the necessary Wholeness without him. Does everyone need Jesus as the modern Christian maintains? While Jesus himself said that those who had achieved Wholeness did not need him as a spiritual physician -- and that with effort, all of mankind is capable of achieving a condition that Jesus portrayed as "whole [and] righteous", and not in need of a physician to heal them.

Critics claim that the Gospels are poorly written -- that Gospels contradict other Gospels -- that they contain countless inconsistencies and discordances -- that they plagiarized other religions -- and that they totally lack continuity with the Old Testament. Yet, these same critics fail to understand that the alleged inconsistencies, discordances and conflicts in the biblical texts were intentionally inserted for an ultra-important reason that both the modern Christians and the critics fail to understand. Further, the removal and editing out of these alleged discordances, inconsistencies and supposed conflicts in the scriptures by the scribes and translators of the past, has directly inhibited the Gospels from fulfilling their intended core purpose as the text-book for the lost prodigal sons/daughters to return and be restored to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination that each person had previously abandoned. The great looming fact is that the scriptures are not historical accounts -- their authors never intended them to be historical accounts -- and when used in this manner, they are rendered virtually worthless with respect to their original purpose and objectives. Moreover, the acceptance of the Old Testament as the forerunner to the Gospels, the promotion of the Jews as the chosen people, and the adoption of Replacement Theology, has alienated the Church from its True Source, and has caused the spiritual disenfranchisement of Christianity. The term Old Testament is a deception, because the Gospels are not -- and were never intended to be -- a replacement for the scriptures of the Jews. Why? Because the Gospels in their original form better reflect the True Source than does both Judaism and the Torah. The Jews were not -- and are not -- the chosen people of God -- and other than the fulfillment of the allegorical spiritual meaning of the Old Testament in ways that are not at all understood, the Gospels have nothing in common with the Old Testament. Ignorance of the true meaning and purpose of the Gospels, has totally destroyed the Christian path into the Kingdom -- a path that only can be walked while the person is still alive in the physical body. But the good side is seen in the fact that 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 reveal to you how to get possession of a copy of the Original Gospels. Why is this important? Because these sacred writings contain invaluable essential wisdom and knowledge that is not available anywhere else in this world.

The Chosen People are representative of Spiritual Israel -- whereas the Jews as personified in the Pharisees and Sadducees were representative of counterfeit Israel -- i.e., the offspring of the Devil. The authors of the Gospels were representative of Spiritual Israel, who were the people of the New Covenant. The Jews were the carnal impostors who were shackled by the Old Covenant and the literal Law of Moses. When the Gospel account of Jesus spoke of fulfilling the tenets of the Old Testament, he was referring to the fact that the Old Testament is an allegorical portrayal of the Laws that must be fulfilled within the seeker/disciples own mind and being in order for the lost prodigal sons to be restored to the Edenic Kingdom of origination. All reference to a coming Anointed One (Messiah/Christ), portray the Anointing of the Mind of the Seeker/Disciple who fulfills the (allegorical) Law within themselves. Where the Jews as counterfeit Israel sacrificed animals in the temple of this world made with the hands of man, Spiritual Israel transforms the lower animal nature of the body and mind into the Living Temple that enables the seeker/disciple to be taught directly by the Indwelling Logos (see The Gospels And The PreExistent Soul That Evolves To Perfection In Many Lifetimes ). All the references to the building of the temple and the sacrifice of animals, is an allegorical portrayal of what must be accomplished within the body and mind of the Disciple of TheWay. And only when the necessary Wholeness (see Wholeness) embodied in the term Spiritual Israel is brought about through the fulfillment of the Royal Law within you, can the Kingdom come within the mind and body of the Disciple of TheWay (see End Times). And this is why the Gospel account of Jesus stated: "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).

Spiritual Rebirth And Regeneration

Spiritual Rebirth And Regeneration

I was a asked by the leader in the South African Ebionite Community (see South African Ebionites Of TheWay https://www.facebook.com/groups/SouthAfricaEbionites/ ): Should we seek to unite in brotherhood the sheep of every religious persuasion - those who have sufficiently evolved in spiritual understanding of the fundamental unity of our 'Father' -  by reaching out and bonding with them as our spiritual brethren worldwide in a new group? The group should transcend all religious differences of Christian, Muslim, Sufi, Hindu, Jew, Israeli, Buddhism, Nazirene etc and regard ourselves as being equal and at peace with each other within the safe haven of universal love.  Will the proposition be viable, given the current world events and the turmoil ahead? Can we initiate such a group?  

My Reply: Only in times of great turmoil and tribulation, can spiritually be reborn.  Only when the world of spiritual cavemen are rocked, and they are knocked off their man-made erected pulpits, can higher knowledge be embraced.   I am presently listening to the Easter Mass from the Vatican, and the whole of the mass is about the Jesus-god created by Constantine, saving the people from death -- resulting in a reality that the Christians have never learned to live -- and they dwell in a spiritually comatose level of consciousness -- squandering away their opportunity to follow Jesus into the Kingdom.  Can you motivate the dead to seek higher truth?  If you want shock and awe, then in your meditation ask to review the after-death experience of Christians when they are confronted by the fact that the Church deemed the original followers and disciples of Jesus to be heretics (see The Ebionite Heresyhttp://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com#TheEbioniteHeresy ).  And that the modern Christians have been the followers of a Church that even corrupted the very words that God spoke to mankind (see The Corruption Of The Words Of Godhttp://BrotherOfJesus.org#CorruptionOfGodsWords ).  Only in times of great turmoil and distress, is there even a chance that they may rationally examine facts, or listen to someone who has been awakened out of the human comatose condition portrayed as prisoners in the analogy of Plato's Cave.  So yes, now is the time for spiritual rebirth of the essence of the original Gospel teachings as restored at http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com .   

You must understand the mind of the people you are dealing with.  Take for example our friend Preacher Jim who was a university taught Evangelical Minister, and his buddy Pankai who is a preacher in the Church of Sant Mat -- spiritual cavemen who are clueless as to their own higher Soul-Reality.  Do you realize that when Pankai accused me of teaching that a person becomes Whole by engaging in sex, that he was expressing his abject ignorance with respect to man's higher spiritual reality as expressed in the words of the Gospel of Thomas in saying 22:  "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?  Jesus said to them, When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; ...then will you enter the kingdom."   What does it mean  "when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female"?   The spiritual cavemen who lead most of the world's religions, are all clueless as to the meaning and requirement that Jesus set forth to "...enter the kingdom."   Spiritual cavemen have no idea that the very human man Jesus entered into a Coverture-Marriage with God (see Coverture-Marriage - Was Jesus God? http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CovertureMarriage ).    They have no idea what a Coverture-Marriage is.  And the fact that a celibate person MUST still enter a Coverture-Marriage where the male and female are made ONE, in order to enter the Kingdom as Jesus taught.  They are clueless as to the reality that there is no such thing as a male or female Soul -- and in the allegorical account of Genesis, Adam and Eve were separated, so that the next stage of birth could be brought about and a Coverture-Marriage with God could be achieved.  That this teaching is so essential to the original Gospel teachings, that Gospel of Thomas saying 22 was contained in a first century epistle to a Church explaining when the Kingdom would come (see The Gospel Enigma That Modern Christians Can't Comprehend http://GospelOfThomas.Nazirene.org#GospelEnigma ).  Quoting from the foregoing link:  

It is important to recognize that when Clement wrote the above in his Epistle to a congregation of Christians, he did so in the expectation that the people to whom he was writing would understand the great truths he was presenting to them.   That the Kingdom or End Times would and could only come when "...two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.   And the fact that this statement that is in the Gospel of Thomas and was contained in a first century Epistle from an elder to a congregation of believers in that time-frame, could not be contained and understood in a letter or epistle to a congregation today, is merely one example of the fact that the dogma and thinking of the modern Church has virtually nothing in common with the original teachings of Jesus known as TheWay (see The Original Teachings Have Nothing In Common With Church Dogma http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#OriginalTeachings ).   Which provokes the question: Has the requirements to enter the Kingdom changed in order to accommodate the dogmatic corruption of the Church?   Has Truth and Higher Spiritual Reality been discarded and thrown away, because the Church threw this body of essential Knowledge pertaining to the Coming of the Kingdom away?   Or, does modern Christians dwell in a self-imposed Diaspora of abject Spiritual Ignorance which was brought about by the massive corruption of the scriptures (see BibleCorruption.com ), and the suppression of the body of essential knowledge that is necessary to restore the lost prodigal son to his rightly place in the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.  

Yet, the spiritual cavemen that you must interact with who are presently leading most of the worlds religious groups, are abjectly clueless as to the reality of Spiritual Birth set forth by Jesus and universally across the spectrum of all the world's religions, and how the Kingdom must be entered -- i.e., "...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John  3:1-12 ).   Not only Christianity, but most of the world's religions, are awaiting the End Times and the coming of the Messianic Kingdom upon the earth (see The Coming Of The Kingdom http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#EndTimes ).  And the Spiritual cavemen who are the modern blind guides that Jesus rejected as the "spawn of the devil" (see Christianity - The Devil's Spawn http://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com ), can't understand that because some followers in the first century who applied the formula taught by Jesus in making the two, one, that those who applied the teaching-formula saw the Kingdom come within them in the words:  "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom" (Matt 16:28).  Quoting from the foregoing link:  

With respect to when the Kingdom would come, Peter told the people: ”looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God” (2 Pet 3:12).  Which provokes the question: How could the believers in that time-frame of the first-century, hasten or speed up the coming of the Kingdom, if it was coming externally in the outer world?  And if Peter was truly telling the people in the first century that they had the ability to hasten and speed up the coming of the Kingdom, then either the disciples were wrong -- they were lying to the people -- or the body of believers outside of the original Ebionite Nazirene Community simply do not understand the core Gospel teachings (see http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ).  That the believer is able to "hasten" or speed up the Coming of the Kingdom is proclaimed in The Second Epistle of Clement who was the disciple of Peter, when he wrote to a first century congregation: “Let us expect, therefore, hour by hour, the kingdom of God in love and righteousness, since we know not the day of the appearing of God. For the Lord Himself, being asked by one when His kingdom would come, replied, 'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.   What Clement -- the disciple of Peter who is claimed by the Church as the fourth pope in succession of Peter -- is stating in accord with the Original teachings is that when the seeker/believer brings this condition about within their own Mind and Being, that the predicted and expected Kingdom will come within them as promised. 

Only in times of great turmoil and unrest, will faith-based believers not only begin to examine what they believe, but will also more closely examine the facts and open their minds to higher truth as presented in the Original Gospel teachings that were suppressed by the Church of Rome.  Quoting the article The Devil's Spawn http://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com :  "There is an abiding truth that I can set before every Christian that is an undeniable fact 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".  So yes, the time is right for all religions to be reunited in spiritual brotherhood -- but you must prepare yourselves to be confronted by the spiritual cavemen who will reject you as a heretic -- the same as they rejected the original Ebionite Nazirene followers of Jesus.
