The Eyewitness Account - Suppresion Of Gospel Teachings

The Suppression Of The Teachings Of Jesus

The Only Eyewitness Account -- see http://BrotherOfJesus.org  


The meme is correct: The teachings of Jesus disappeared in the first century. And 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. Today we call ourselves by the Greek word Christian -- but have we ever questioned where the term originated? If modern believers were truly sincere in their desire for a more intimate relationship with the Lord, they would immediately want to know the answer to the question as to why the "early believers avoided" using the name Christian? The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge confirms that the name "originated outside of Christian and Jewish circles". Thus, when rightly understood, a religious group that was outside the teachings of the Gospels, portrayed themselves as Christian, prior to the advent of Jesus and the Gospel teachings. And the original followers of Jesus rejected the name Christian, because the Gospel teachings have virtually nothing in common with the teachings of those who called themselves Christian.


The meme portrays Paul as overriding and replacing the teachings of the Gospel with his own theology. But to begin to understand why the Ebionite followers of Jesus condemned and rejected Paul, you must first understand that the Epistles attributed to Paul were Christian -- meaning they were composed in accord with the religion of Mithraism. To some degree this fact is noted in the Encyclopedia Britannica where it writes: “In calling Paulinism 'Christocentric', one raises the question as to its relation to the Gospel proclaimed by Jesus... how far he unconsciously modified the Gospel by making Christ its subject matter rather than its revealer.... Paul... put all into so fresh a perspective as to change the relative emphasis on points central to the teaching of Jesus, and so alter its spirit. A school of writers, by no means unappreciative of Paul as they understand him, of whom W. Wrede may be taken as example, answer that Paul so changed Christianity as to become its 'second founder' - the real founder of ecclesiastical Christianity as distinct from the Christianity of Jesus. They say, 'either Jesus or Paul' it cannot be both at once’”.


The dilemma can be understood when we answer the question: Why did the Apostle Peter and the other disciples of Jesus reject Paul? Under the heading of Simon Magus in the 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica it states pertaining to the writings attributed to Clement, the disciple of Peter, in the Homilies: “…the common source of these documents may be as early as the 1st century, and must have consisted in a polemic against Paul, emanating from the Jewish side of Christianity. Paul being thus identified with Simon, it was argued that Simon's visit to Rome had no other basis than Paul's presence there, and, further, that the tradition of Peter's residence in Rome rests on the assumed necessity of his resisting the arch-enemy of Judaism there as elsewhere”.  The problem is that the Church has successfully suppressed the Clementine Homilies and the Acts of Peter (see (The Acts Of The Nazirenes @ https://www.amazon.com/Acts-Nazirenes-Gospel-Book-ebook/dp/B00C334SC8  ),


The original followers of Jesus rejected the Epistles attributed to Paul as a polemic opposing the Gospel teachings on the spiritual meaning of the Law, because the Epistles were based upon the tenets of Christian-Mithraism. Of the Ebionites it was noted by the early Church writer Irenaeus: "Those who are called Ebionites agree that the world was made by God... they use the Gospel of Matthew only, and repudiate the Apostle Paul, maintaining that he was an apostate from the Law." But exactly what does this mean? The author of the Pauline Epistles was himself a Christian -- i.e., a Mithraic Initiate who was seeking the Christ-Consciousness. A very large number of the Gentiles saw Jesus as the latest incarnation of the Mithraic sun-god who is born on Dec. 25th, and resurrected on Easter (Ishtar). They therefore interpreted the Gospel rejection of the Jews as both a rejection of Judaism, and the confirmation of Mithraic-Christianity as the valid teachings. When it was pointed out by the Ebionite followers of Jesus that Paul was making reference to the Cosmic-Christ of Mithraism, the Gentiles inserted the name Jesus wherever the author of the Pauline Epistles made reference to Christ-Consciousness -- as stated in the words: “Therefore from now on we recognize no man according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according o the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer” (2 Cor 5:16).   This Spiritual Messiah/Christ, over the historical Messiah/Christ in the flesh, was what biblical scholar Rudolf Bultmann was speaking of when he concluded that the “…Christian faith is, and should be, comparatively uninterested in the historical Jesus and centered instead on the transcendent Christ” (Encyclopedia Britannica).


As with all scriptures, the Book of Acts is not representative of historical accounts -- i.e., the scriptures represent allegorical mental-accounts that must be brought about within the mind of the seeker (see The Purpose Of The Scriptures http://GospelCosmology.Ebionite.com#PurposeOfTheScriptures  ). What is therefore portrayed in the conversion of Paul in the Book of Acts, was an allegorical account that was not at all historical. Thus, the disciple begins to see his own transformation from the death of Stephen as spirit becoming clothed with flesh, to Saul the Jew, who became converted to Paul (name meaning a little one), whose blindness was healed by Ananias -- the name meaning the gift from God. (see The Spiritual Meaning And Fulfillment Of The Law http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#SpiritualMeaningOfTheLaw  ). And the Mithraic-Christians interpreted the account of Paul in the Book of Acts, as portraying the validity of their own teachings of the Cosmic-Christ over the Law of the Jews. And therein lied the problem -- i.e., to become Anointed, the seeker must fulfill the Natural Laws of Creation. Unlike the Jews who observed the Law outwardly in ritual and tradition, Jesus taught the Spiritual meaning of the Law -- how the Natural Laws are fulfilled -- and how the believer/seeker must fulfill the Law to become Anointed (see Jesus Taught To Become The Christ http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#BecomeTheChrist  ).  Thus, when the Ebionites made reference to the (Natural) Law, it was a rejection of the ritual Law of the Jews as Jesus taught them. But the Gospel teachings was also a rejection of the Cosmic-Christ of Christian-Mithraism as presented in the Epistles attributed to Paul. In the book Christ or Paul?, the Rev. V.A. Holmes-Gore wrote: "Let the reader contrast the true Christian standard with that of Paul and he will see the terrible betrayal of all that the Master taught. For the surest way to betray a great Teacher is to misrepresent his message. That is what Paul and his followers did, and because the Church has followed Paul in his error it has failed lamentably to redeem the world. ...The teachings given by the blessed Master Christ, which the disciples John and Peter and James, the brother of the Master, tried in vain to defend and preserve intact were as utterly opposed to the Pauline Gospel as the light is opposed to the darkness."  

 
The Essene, Ebionite Nazirenes are the only people who walked and talked with Jesus daily, and they are therefore the only eyewitnesses to the actual teaching of Jesus that in their conversations with him, he fully explained the meaning of those teachings to them.  In the first century, all believers and followers of Jesus were known as Ebionites -- meaning the "poor one's". 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).  It must be noted that the mother and family of Jesus were all Ebionites -- as was his brother Jacob who they call James, who was the leader of the Ebionite Community.   In the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Gibbon notes that the teachings of Jesus was “…embraced by great numbers of the Therapeutae, or Essinians…”, and wrote that: “Le Clerc (Hist. Ecclesiast p. 477, 535) seems to have collected from Eusebius, Jerome, Epiphanius, and other writers, all the principle circumstances that relate to the Nazarenes or Ebionites. The nature of their opinions soon divided them into a stricter and milder sect; and ...the family of Jesus remained members ...of the latter and more moderate party”.   Today, these same original followers and disciples of Jesus are portrayed by the modern Church as heretics, because both their teachings and their eyewitness accounts has virtually nothing in common with what modern Christians believe.  Why are the Ebionites portrayed as heretics?  Because they maintained the need to observe and fulfill the Law of God as Jesus taught them.  Yet, a footnote in the Biblehub article (see https://biblehub.com/library/pamphilius/church_history/chapter_xxvii_the_heresy_of_the.htm  ) entitled The Heresy of the Ebionites states: "The Ebionites were not originally heretics. Their characteristic was the more or less strict insistence upon the observance of the Jewish law...".   If the Ebionites were not originally considered heretics in their insistence on the need to observe and fulfill the Law as Jesus taught, then it is crucial for every believer to seriously evaluate this issue.  Because the gentiles did not understand the spiritual meaning of the Law -- confusing it with the allegorical tenets of the Law of Moses -- a large segment of the Gentile converts were unable to understand the teachings of Jesus on how the Law must be fulfilled.  That the Ebionites had been taught and enlightened by Jesus as to the spiritual meaning of the Law, and they did not observe it outwardly in ritual and tradition in the manner of the Jews, is the reason why the early Christian author Epiphanius wrote that the Ebionites "do not accept Moses' Pentateuch in its entirety; certain sayings they reject... stating Christ has revealed this to me, and will blaspheme most of the legislation" (Panarion 30.18.7-9).   That the Gentiles did not understand the Law, and the Jews threw away the Key of Knowledge in their outward interpretations (see Application Of The Key Of Knowledge http://KeyOfKnowledge.org#ApplicationOfTheKeyOfKnowledge  ), has immersed both Jew and Christian alike in ignorance of the purpose and objective of the Original Gospel teachings -- i.e., “…rejected from one religion as apostates, and from the other as heretics” (Gibbon: Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire,

 Is Gnosis Heresay?  


Is the word Gnosis the depiction of heresy As many modern Churches proclaim?  Or is Gnosis the fruit of the Natural Development of Mind.  An Enlightened person would properly translate the Greek word Gnosis into English, and express man's quest to receive the Divine Manna of the Kingdom that can only be imparted to those who seek Wholeness.  Countless Christians seek to know when will the Kingdom come?  Yet, the Church suppressed this teaching which instructed faith-based believers how to enter the Kingdom that Jesus taught is within from the Gospels.  In the Second Epistle of Clement this ultra-important teaching that was removed from the Gospels modern Christians use is quoted as stating: “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’”

It is important to recognize that when Clement wrote the above in his Epistle to a congregation of first century 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, in accord with the teachings of Jesus when he was directly asked about when the Kingdom or End Times would come, Jesus stated that the kingdom 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 has been preseved in the Gospel of Thoma,s 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 http://BibleCorruption.com   ), and the suppression of the body of essential knowledge that is necessary to restore the lost prodigal son to his true place in the Edenic Kingdom of Origination (see http://GateOfEden.com   .

In the Epistle of Peter to James it is warned that if the spiritual knowledge that Jesus taught exclusively to his original followers was to become lost, that "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error".   And Jesus portrayed his essential spiritual knowledge that could only be received directly from God by those who became Whole by fulfilling the Law, as the Divine Manna (see The Law Of The Gospels http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com  .  And this is why Jesus only taught the multitude of people in parables -- i.e., "And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it. But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples" (Mark 4:33-34).  Why?  Only those who had begun to fulfill the Law of God within them as Jesus taught, could comprehend the higher reality of the Soul and the Kingdom.  And it was for this same reason that Paul confirmed this fact when he said to the Christians who he had himself taught: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal" (1 Cor 3:1-3).  Paul further stated that the mind or Christians who had yet to bring about the necessary transformation of consciousness, would look upon the Mysteries of God as "foolishness" -- i.e., speaking of converted and baptized Christians Paul warned that: “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14).  What this means is that neither Jesus or his original followers could reveal the most important Gospel teachings, because the Christian believers had not yet fulfilled the Law within themselves as Jesus taught, and the necessary transformation or their organic earthly consciousness had not yet begun to take place. 

Jesus taught that Wholeness was necessary to bring about the transformative process of mental and spiritual development -- i.e., "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).  What Jesus was stating was that those people who he portrayed as "righteous", did not need him as a physician who came to heal the sick, because they had on their own taken advantage of the Original Opportunity to bringing about Wholeness, Perfection and Completion. Which raises the question: What, then, is stopping you, the reader, from achieving the Wholeness that Jesus himself confirmed you have the innate power to bring about in your life without any need of him (Jesus) or any other physician? The correct translation of the words: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand which is preached in our Churches, is more accurately translated: "Open and unloose the mind."  To phrase the thought that is being expressed, the true meaning is in The Amplified Bible which presents the essence of the biblical text, states: “Repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life], for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” This is truly important for the person of faith to come to terms with -- for it is the beginning of The Way.  Which provokes the question: How can man achieve the necessary Wholeness, to receive and be taught the Divine Manna directly from God?  Quoting from: Man And Woman's Highest Calling And Purpose http://TheRealFactsOfLife.Ebionite.com#HighestCalling :  By Divine Design, Man and Woman when brought together in pursuit of Unity and Oneness, possess the innate inborn ability to manifest the Truth of all Truths in their lives -- far surpassing all the philosophic, religious and academic institutions of this world. How? Man and Woman are opposite polarities and expressions of Mind that when joined, possess the ability to bring about the next subsequent stage of Mental and Spiritual birth that enables them to come together as ONE in WHOLENESS -- which is why Jesus explained: 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 is required?  The vast majority of marriages are pro-creative, and fulfill the sexual and emotional appetites and needs of the man and woman.  They do not generally marry to initiate and bring about their own mental and spiritual transformation. Quoting from When Man Meets Woman http://TheRealFactsOfLife.Ebionite.com#WhenManMeetsWoman :  In the allegorical account of Genesis, when Eve was drawn from the side of Adam, what is being personified is the fact that the mind of mankind became divided across the polarities of male and female when we entered this world. What this means is that when man meets woman, it is in reality one half of the mind meeting and interacting with the other half -- both of them divided opposites with greatly differing mental perceptions and abilities -- each filling the mental void of their spouse. Therefore, when man meets woman, two halves of the Mind are brought together with the capacity to interact, grow and evolve to Wholeness. And from the perspective of man and woman, as the man assists in the development of those unique Intuitive abilities possessed by his wife, his own Intuitive spheres of mind begin to develop. And as the woman channels, transforms and returns the generative energy of her husband back to her husband, both begin to evolve beyond organic male and female levels of mind and consciousness.


In the same way that when a sperm and ovum join and form an embryo, the development of the fetus, the birth, and the evolution of the infant into the fullness of an adult, is all brought about level upon level by the Natural Laws -- as the chromosomes of the male interact with the chromosomes of the female to bring about Maturity and Wholeness in the individual person. In like manner, when man meets woman, the opposite polarities of male and female have the capacity to join on a mental level and form what can be portrayed as a Mental-Ovum -- wherein the Natural Laws of Creation acting like a Living Bio-Feedback Organism, will interact and evolve their consciousness, level upon level with our every thought, desire word and action -- returning back to us exactly what we need to advance -- evolving each of us to bring about what is personified as Wholeness as personified in the Wholeness portrayed in the image of the man Jesus, who is representative of the final destiny for all of mankind. Therefore, Physical Marriage is the initial uniting of the opposite polarities on both a physical and mental levels of mind and being. Depending upon the depth of the marriage union, sexual intercourse has the potential to become a catalyst that with the DNA Exchange, has the ability to Intellectually and Spiritually connect and join the two halves of the Mind as manifest in male and female, to prepare them for transformational growth and development (see DNA Exchange http://BrotherOfJesus.org#study  ). A physical marriage can be portrayed as the initial joining -- but because the development of mind can only be achieved through experiential knowledge -- which requires the living out of choices, and the exercise of freewill -- development beyond the initial level is subject to -- and totally limited by -- the experiential interaction of the two opposite polarities of Consciousness as embodied in the form of Man and Woman.


As halves of the whole, if the man and woman understand that every weakness in the man, is a strength of the woman -- and every weakness of the woman, is a strength of the man -- and when joined together, they have the potential to arise to a higher level of mind and consciousness -- they possess the innate ability to conquer all obstacles which they encounter in their mental advancement to Wholeness and Perfection. Holographically, the Universal Natural Laws are equally expressed on every level of our Being. Therefore, what is true on a physical level, is also true on a mental level, and is ultimately true on a spiritual level. In understanding the Natural Laws on a physical level, the joining of the sperm with the ovum on a physical level opens the door of growth and opportunity -- i.e., the sperm supplies the developmental needs for the ovum, and the ovum supplies the developmental needs for the sperm. And on a mental level, this is also true with respect to the joining of a male/husband and woman/wife as a Mental-Sperm and Mental-Ovum when a Mental-Embryo is formed and manifest. Jesus taught that the two become "one flesh" -- and in a genuine marriage-union, the man has the ability to spawn the growth opportunity of the woman, and the woman has the ability to spawn the growth opportunity of the man. Therefore, if the husband seeks to develop the full Intuitive/Feminine potential and abilities of his wife, without imposing and limiting her development by imposing his own Linear/Male mindset and strengths upon her -- and the woman seeks to reflect and use her power of transformation in the higher development with her husband -- then together they can enter through what is personified as the "narrow gate" of Wholeness (see Spiritual Osmosis And The Narrow Gate http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#Osmosis  ). In the same way that the interaction of the male and female polarities will spawn growth and development in a physical embryo, when a Man and Woman enter into a Coverture-Union, they have the potential to transform their Mind -- doing this by developing the Mental-Bodies that surround the physical. With the development of these Mental-Bodies in a Mental-Embryo, Metaphysical growth and development of Mind is brought about that is able to transcend the earthly-limitations of human organic (carnal) consciousness.

The Ignorance of Martin Luther and The Satanic Detriment to the Church

The Ignorance of Martin Luther and The Satanic Detriment to the Church
Martin Luther was correct when he spoke out about the diabolical condition of the Church. 
In a letter to Pope Leo X on September 6th, 1520, where Martin Luther wrote of the Christianity of his day, that the church, “…once the holiest of all, has become the most licentious den of thieves, the most shameless of all brothels, the kingdom of sin, death, and hell. It is so bad that even Antichrist himself, if he should come, could think of nothing to add to its wickedness” (Quoted in: The Great Thoughts; compiled by George Seldes).

But Martin Luther lacked any degree of intelligence to understand man's higher Soul-Reality.  In fact, Martin Luther portrayed man's superior as the greatest enemy of the Truth: “Reason”, writes Luther, “is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but - more frequently than not - struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God” (Quoted in: The Great Thoughts; compiled by George Seldes). 

In his ignorance of the allegorical meaning of the scriptures, Luther blamed women for the fall of mankind: “God created Adam master and lord of living creatures”, Luther writes, “but Eve spoilt all, when she persuaded him to set himself above God's will. Tis you women, with your tricks and artifices, that lead men into error” (Quoted in: The Great Thoughts; compiled by George Seldes).  Yet, the allegorical account of Adam and Eve was not historical (see Original Sin And Spiritual Osmosis http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#OriginalSin ).

Luther's prescribed treatment of the common man closely resembles that of the Islamic terrorists who torture those who oppose their religious tents of belief. Thus Luther writes: "Like the mules who will not move unless you perpetually whip them with rods, so the civil powers must drive the common people, whip, choke, hang, burn, behead and torture them, that they may learn to fear the powers that be." (El. ed. 15, 276, quoted by O'Hare, in 'The Facts About Luther, TAN Books, 1987, p. 235.) Further stating: "A peasant is a hog, for when a hog is slaughtered it is dead, and in the same way the peasant does not think about the next life, for otherwise he would behave very differently." ('Schlaginhaufen,' 'Aufzeichnungen,' p. 118, quoted ibid., p. 241)

His hatred of the Jews is legendary: "Jews are young devils damned to hell." ('Luther's Works,' Pelikan, Vol. XX, pp. 2230.) Even condoning Islamic type violence against them: "Burn their synagogues. Forbid them all that I have mentioned above. Force them to work and treat them with every kind of severity, as Moses did in the desert and slew three thousand... If that is no use, we must drive them away like mad dogs, in order that we may not be partakers of their abominable blasphemy and of all their vices, and in order that we may not deserve the anger of God and be damned with them. I have done my duty. Let everyone see how he does his. I am excused." ('About the Jews and Their Lies,' quoted by O'Hare, in 'The Facts About Luther, TAN Books, 1987, p. 290.)

Martin Luther encouraged Christians to gleefully live in sin.  In Luther's own words: "Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides... No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day." ('Let Your Sins Be Strong, from 'The Wittenberg Project;' 'The Wartburg Segment', translated by Erika Flores, from Dr. Martin Luther's Saemmtliche Schriften, Letter No. 99, 1 Aug. 1521.) Luther believed that man is a congenital sinner, because of the Original Sin of Adam and Eve, and that only those who God saves, will receive salvation.

Jesus taught that his followers must become the "good ground" in the parable of  The Sower And The Seed http://SowerAndTheSeed.Ebionite.com  .  Jesus warned that if his followers are "Lawless", that they will be rejeced -- i.e., "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!" (Matt 7:19-23).  Yet, in a total rejection of the teachings of Jesus, "Luther went as far as to state that those who attempt to live a pious life, have themselves rejected Christ: "Those pious souls who do good to gain the Kingdom of Heaven not only will never succeed, but they must even be reckoned among the impious; and it is more important to guard them against good works than against sin." (Wittenberg, VI, 160, quoted by O'Hare, in 'The Facts About Luther, TAN Books, 1987, p. 122.). 

In his ignorance, Luther rejected the Spiritual Life taught by Jesus -- see The Spiritual Holistic Lifestyle http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheSpiritualHolisticLifestyle
