Spiritual vs Man Made Religions

Man Made religions are always corruptions of the Original Spiritual teachings. Who is responsible for the corruptions?  In our present time-frame, you are.  Why?  Because in the past the facts were easily hidden and concealed from the faith-based believing community.   But this is no longer the case.  Because our Constitutional God-Given Rights and Individual Freedoms has set the facts before each person, which makes each person responsible for both the secular and religious leaders they follow and support.  And this personal responsibility has been brought about by the restoration of the Original Gospel teachings by the Original Author/Source which has been puclished free of charge at The Law Of The Gospels http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com

 

What is the difference between the original Gospel teachings and what is preached in the pulpits today? Quoting from The Essenes And The Dead Sea Scrolls http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#Essene

 

 

How much does the modern Church have in common with the original teachings? Perhaps this can be gauged by a recent interview with Pastor Brian McLaren who made the rather profound statement: "One of the problems is that the average Christian in the average church who listens to the average Christian broadcasting has such an oversimplified understanding of both the Bible and of church history - it would be deeply disturbing for them to really learn about church history." And truth be told, it can easily be demonstrated that the core purpose and objectives of the original Gospel teachings are so radically different than what is preached from our pulpits today, that the Gospel of the first century would be condemned as heresy if it was presented to a modern congregation of believers. And while the congregation of believers have been largely kept in the dark, the biblical scholars understood this fact – and this is demonstrated in the words of A. Powell Davies who stated: “Biblical scholars were not disturbed by what they found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known all along that the origin of Christianity was not what was commonly supposed to have been” (quoted by Millar Burrows in More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls). What does it mean that the scholars acknowledge that the origin of Christianity is not what believers have been told by the Church? Worse yet, Edmund Wilson, an expert who worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls further raised the question as to what difference it makes if “Jesus... had been trained in the discipline and imbued with the thought of a certain Jewish sect, and that he had learned from it the role that he afterwards lived...” (The Scrolls From The Dead Sea). To the uninformed and unknowing believer, it made all the difference in the world! And when Prof. John Allegro was quoted as saying that what has been revealed in the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is a great amount of overwhelming evidence that “...may upset a great many basic teachings of the Christian Church. This in turn would greatly upset many Christian Theologians and believers. The heart of the matter is, in fact, the source and originality of Christian doctrine” (August 1966 issue of Harpers Magazine). What all the many recent archaeological discoveries have confirmed and demonstrated is that Prof. Allegro was correct in his assertion that our modern-day understanding of “the source and originality of Christian doctrine” is defective. Why? Because neither the original teachings or the corrupted scriptures simply does not support the tenets and structure of an organized dogmatic church as we have today. In the words of Prof. Elaine Pagles, in her book, The Gnostic Gospels: “It is the winners who write history - their way. No wonder, then, that the viewpoint of the successful majority has dominated all traditional accounts of the origin of Christianity… It suggests that these religious debates - questions of the nature of God, or of Christ - simultaneously bear social and political implications that are crucial to the development of Christianity as an institutional religion. In simplest terms, ideas which bear implications contrary to that development come to be labeled as heresy; ideas which implicitly support it become orthodox”.

Biblical scholars basically told the people the truth about their beliefs, but the truth was and remains unacceptable to the multitude of Churches. Quoting from Examination of Modern NT Text Criticism: "Where history records that true sacred text survived this assault and is preserved in the traditional text, Westcott and Hort counter that the whole church participated in a conspiracy to fabricate a blended (and therefore corrupted) text. Westcott and Hort must not have believed the traditional Christian church to be genuine, but a sham. This thesis is supported by the biographies of Westcott and Hort. When J. F. D. Maurice was accused of false doctrine, Westcott commented that Orthodox Christians are like a new Islam persecuting a revival of the true Christians."

Why would biblical scholar Westcott portray the Orthodox Christians as parallel to Islam in its opposition and persecution of the original teachings of Jesus? When Islam came into being, they claimed that all the Jewish and Christian prophets and authorities were really Muslim prior to the formal inauguration of Islam. And when rightly understood, the Orthodox Christians who were pagan and Mithraic converts to the religion ordained by the Emperor Constantine, did the same exact thing. Why can the adoption of the corrupted scriptures be portrayed as "...a conspiracy to fabricate a blended (and therefore corrupted) text"? Because the Roman Emperor Constantine orchestrated a massive adoption of Christianity as the Universal Religion of the Empire -- which brought about the massive conversion of Mithraic pagans into the Roman Church. Jesus was portrayed as the latest incarnation of the Mithraic sun-god that was born on December 25 -- which is when the sun begins to move northward from the southern hemisphere. Constantine took the most corrupt New Testament scriptures and further edited and corrupted them to make them support the dogma of Mithraism which represented the common beliefs of the people. The original Ebionite Nazirene disciples and followers of Jesus were condemned as heretics -- portrayed as "too Jewish" to understand the meaning of the Gospel -- i.e., “…rejected from one religion as apostates, and from the other as heretics” (Gibbon: Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, v.1, p.416). Further, the Spiritual (Gentile) Christians who understood the important purpose of the scriptures as a catalyst to develop the mind and enable the seeker/believer to begin to receive the Divine Manna of the Kingdom, were condemned as Gnostic heretics -- hunted down, their scriptures destroyed and those who did not embrace the religion of the emperor, were put to death. Resulting in the fact that the whole foundation of the modern Church which is based upon Original Sin, has been imported from the Mithraic based teachings of the Iranian prophet Mani, in order to explain and fill the great void that the Church suppression of important teachings on the pre-existent soul created. Thereby creating a pagan foundation to the Church that has rendered Christianity spiritually impotent. Further quoting from Examination of Modern NT Text Criticism: "Westcott and Hort must have believed that what historians recorded as a defense against heretics was in reality a suppression of the true church. They believed that what the historians recorded as heretically corrupted texts were closer to the true autographs." And this statement is not only true beyond the comprehension of the modern believer, but has been proven and confirmed by the Dead Sea Scrolls. The more pure the copy of the Gospels, the more offensive it was from the perspective of the dogma and religion of the emperor.

The Enigma Of Christian Spiritual Deception And Lies That Must Be Resolved

 

The Enigma Of Christian Spiritual Deception And Lies That Must Be Resolved

There are two words commonly misused by those who portray themselves as Christians, that has gravely deceived the masses of believers.  The Primary Lie: You can't be a Christian, which is a Greek word, without your mind being Anointed (Messiah/Christ translated into English).  The word Christian can be used as is a noun, only when it portrays people as a group who engage the fulfilling the words meaning.  The term Christian is an action-verb that pertains to a condition of mind and consciousness. As an example: You can't be a runner if you don't run.  You can't be a vegetarian while eating meat.  You can't be a swimmer without going into the water.  You can't be a flyer without flying.   Your mind cannot be Anointed, while you remain organic (carnal) and unenlightened in your thinking and mindset.  A person of an Anointed Mind must possess higher Spiritual Knowledge -- to the degree that they are able to receive that Spiritual Knowledge.  God Anoints the mind of those who prepare themselves to receive the Higher Spiritual Knowledge.  Therefore, the follower of Jesus must themselves take action to fulfill the requirements to be taught by God, as seen in the statement: "It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me" (John 6:45).  And therein lies the Second Great Lie: The problem as seen in the fact that the word for spiritual knowledge imparted to man directly by God is the Greek word Gnosis -- yet, most people who portray themselves as Christians, condemn and reject Gnosis -- claiming that they are Christian (of an Anointed Mind) regardless of the fact that they not only reject the Higher Knowledge of the Spirit, but they promote lives of dwelling in abject spiritual ignorance.  

The proper translation of the Greek word Gnosis in English, would be the Divine Manna -- which is Spiritual Knowledge imparted to the Mind of an Anointed Seeker directly by God.  Divine Manna (Gnosis) can't be read in any book -- it cannot be taught by a teacher or rabbi -- and cannot be received or understood by a person whose mind has not been Anointed.  When Jesus explained to his disciples:  “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding” (Mark 4:11-12).  What this means is that in the words of Jesus there existed what can be portrayed as Secret Knowledge -- i.e., “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you" -- but this body of Secret Knowledge could not be received or understood by those who Jesus portrayed as being "outside" -- i.e., "...But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding”.    And this small group of people who could receive and comprehend the Divine Manna, were portrayed as being In The House.  Which provokes the question: Who was In The House?  This question was answered by the Church Father Origen when he explained about the enigma of understanding the spiritual meaning of the Gospels: “I have not yet spoken of the observances of all that is written in the gospel, each one of which contains much doctrine difficult to be understood, not merely by the multitude, but even by certain of the more intelligent, including a very profound explanation of the parables, which Jesus delivered to 'those without' while reserving the exhibition of their full meaning for those who have passed beyond the stage of exoteric teachings, and who came to him privately in the house. And when he comes to understand it, he will admire the reason why some are said to be without, and others in the house” (see Contra-Celsum).  And who were the select few who were in the House and could receive the Divine Manna or Secret Knowledge of the Kingdom?  Jesus taught his followers and disciples how to fulfill the Divine Law within them (see Spiritual Meaning And Fulfillment Of The Law http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#SpiritualMeaningOfTheLaw ).  When Jesus stated that not one jot or tittle of the Law would be done away with -- i.e., "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished" (Matt 5:18) -- means that the Law remains in effect until there is no longer a divided heaven and earth.  

It was not that Jesus wanted to withhold the Sacred Knowledge from the multitudes of people.  The problem was that those who came to hear his teachings, were yet too organic (human/carnal) to comprehend their own higher Soul and Spiritual Reality.  This Sacred Knowledge that could not be imparted to people of an organic mindset, is further presented in the statement of Jesus when he said to his disciples: "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).  What is key in these words is the statement: "...as they were able to hear it" -- wherein Jesus explained in the parable of the Sower and the Seed that: "Don't you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?" (Mark 4:13) -- i.e., unless you fulfill the Law as Jesus taught -- and you achieve the Anointing of your Mind (see Jesus Taught To Become The Christ http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#BecomeTheChrist ) -- it will remain impossible for you to understand the spiritual meaning of the scriptures -- impossible for you to receive the Divine Manna (Gnosis) -- and impossible for you to be taught the Sacred Knowledge directly from God.   Therefore, you cannot be portrayed as a Christian (Anointed Mind), and neither can you receive the Divine Manna or Sacred Knowledge of the Kingdom (Gnosis).     

Those who portray themselves as Christians, will continue to remain "outside the House", until they (1) fulfill the Law as Jesus taught; (2) prepare their minds to receive the Anointing (Christing); (3) and cease to reject the Divine Manna of the Kingdom (Gnosis) that can only be imparted to those who have attained the Anointing of their Mind and Consciousness by picking up their own cross and travailing in TheWay -- i.e., "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" (Luke 9:23).  

The Spiritual Death Of The Bible Student and The Shackles Of Bad Beliefs About God

 

The Spiritual Death Of The Bible Student and The Shackles Of Bad Beliefs About God

If you study the Bible and interpret it from a human perspective, you will make yourself the walking dead -- i.e., "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead” (Matt 8:21-22).  Why?  Because they don't understand The Mental Check-Points Embedded In The Scriptures http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#MentalCheckPoints

Organic man and woman exist in what can be portrayed as a seed-level of consciousness. And in the same way that in the parable of the Sower and Seed ( http://SowerAndTheSeed.ebionite.com/ ) , only the seed that is planted in the "good ground" can develop and grow, the Natural Laws of Creation within which every person's mind is immersed, have embedded check-points that insure proper evolutionary upward development that will not permit mental-growth beyond a certain low-level seed-mind level of consciousness development, unless the beliefs of the person is solidly structured and founded upon the Higher (Spiritual) Truth as monitored by the Natural Laws of Creation. Just as a carpenter checks the wall he is building with a level that insures uprightness, the Natural Laws will only permit balanced and whole upward development. To the degree that the Natural Laws that enable the Impressions or Thoughts to arise in the person's consciousness, has a checksum built into the Law that evaluates the Wholeness of the Impression or Thought from the perspective of bringing about the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-development of the person whose mind carried the Impression of Thought. A checksum is defined as: "a small-sized block of data derived from another block of digital data for the purpose of detecting errors that may have been introduced during its transmission" (see The Checksum Of The Law http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#CheckSum ). 

Consciousness requires bio-energy that fuels and permits the Impressions or Thoughts to arise through the mind of the person. If the thinking of the person equates to junk or carnal earthly beliefs or thinking, the checksum built into the Natural Laws funnels or diverts the Impressions or Thoughts into the outer world where the bio-energy feeds Nature (see Spiritual Osmosis And The Narrow Gate http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#Osmosis  ). Only those Impressions and Thoughts whose balance and wholeness pass through the checksum embedded into the Natural Laws, are able to stimulate and bring about the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening. In the same way that it is demonstrated that the original Ebionite disciples and followers who walked and talked with Jesus every day could not have been wrong in their beliefs about both Jesus and their own eventual Destiny, because the man Jesus had arisen to the level where he had the ability to know the thoughts of those who he taught -- and the same Check-Points that are embedded in the text of the scriptures also function in the consciousness of mankind -- and these Check-Points that are built into the Natural Laws, will not permit growth and development of mind if the person holds erroneous beliefs. What this means is that both the Atheists and the people who cling to man-made dogmatic beliefs, cannot mentally grow and evolve beyond a low-level of development. And this would also include people who fail to live a lifestyle that is not conductive to higher growth and development, as well as all the intellectuals who learn from the teachers of this world.

In the Clementine Homilies, the personage of Simon Magus is used to portray someone who is able to deceive the people of an organic (carnal) consciousness into following them and their doctrines of belief. And with respect to the people who have been easily deceived by the countless Simon Magus' of this world, the Apostle Peter is quoted as stating: “And with us, indeed, who have had handed down from our forefathers the worship of the God who made all things, and also the mystery of the books which are able to deceive, he will not prevail; but with those from amongst the Gentiles who have the polytheistic fancy bred in them, and who know not the falsehoods of the Scriptures, he will prevail much. And not only he; but if any other shall recount to those from among the Gentiles any vain, dreamlike, richly set out story against God, he will be believed, because from their childhood their minds are accustomed to take in things spoken against God. And few there shall be of them, as a few out of a multitude, who through ingenuousness shall not be willing so much as to hear an evil word against the God who made all things. And to these alone from amongst the Gentiles it shall be vouchsafed to be saved. Let not any one of you, therefore, altogether complain of Simon, or of any one else; for nothing happens unjustly, since even the falsehoods of Scripture are with good reason presented for a test.” This fact with respect to the falsehoods of the scriptures was confirmed by Moses Maimonedes, one of the most respected of Jewish theologians, historian, and Talmudist, where 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”. As well as the Church Father Origen in De Principiis where he writes 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.” 

What this quotation of Peter confirms is the portrayal that the scriptures contain faux-historical accounts that have been intentionally inserted into the narrative that are not only untrue, but also accounts that are bluntly false and  "repugnant to both reason and common sense". Why? In order to develop the higher attributes of mind, man must be able to make choices and exercise his freewill. Thus, the scriptures are intentionally composed with Intervals that act as checkpoints to test the readers level of higher awareness. When one of the countless intervals are encountered in the text of the scriptures, the Linear outward-looking spheres of mind must recognize the divergent path, and consciously choose to explore the possibilities presented -- which requires the outward-looking linear attributes of mind to release control over the person's thinking, and permit the inward-looking intuitive spheres of mind to explore and receive guidance -- initiating the process of tapping into the True Prophet. The scriptures are not historical accounts -- they are composed in the symbolic language of the Soul (see The Original Spiritual Language Of The Gospels http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#OriginalLanguage  ) that can only be interpreted and understood by the inward-looking Intuitive spheres of mind.

In the Homilies of Clement the Apostle Peter is quoted as stating: "...therefore great care is to be taken, that when the law of God is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind. For there are many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived for himself; and this ought not to be done. For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without". If we ask the question: What is being said to the believer who desires to be faithful to the Gospel Teachings? By design, the scriptures cannot be understood by the outward-looking Linear spheres of mind. And this fact is confirmed when the Apostle Peter stated: "when the law of God (scriptures) is read, it be not read according to the understanding of our own mind"? Why? Because the scriptures are composed in a symbolic language that can only be interpreted and understood by the inward-looking Intuitive spheres of mind. The outward-looking Linear spheres of mind attempts to interpret all things literally and historically and outwardly in the wrong direction -- which is why Peter warns that "...For there are many sayings in the divine Scriptures which can be drawn to that sense which every one has preconceived for himself". Further, Peter warns that "...For you ought not to seek a foreign and extraneous sense, which you have brought from without". What this means is that if you attempt to interpret the scriptures in accord with a Biblical Commentary -- or in accord with the teachings of a Church -- or from a human thought-perspective -- that you will not only fail to understand the spiritual meaning of the scriptures, but you will alienate and disenfranchise your mind from the true spiritual meaning. Why? Because the scriptures are composed in the allegorical language of the Soul that employs allegorical catalysts that are used to develop the inward-looking Intuitive Spheres of Mind.

What this means is that if you attempt to interpret the scriptures in accord with a Biblical Commentary -- or in accord with the teachings of a Church -- or from a human organic level thought-perspective -- that you will not only fail to understand the meaning of the scriptures, but you will alienate and disenfranchise your mind from the true spiritual meaning. Why? Because the scriptures are composed in the allegorical language of the Soul that employs allegorical catalysts that are used to develop the inward-looking Intuitive Spheres of Mind (see The Purpose Of The Scriptures http://GospelCosmology.Ebionite.com#PurposeOfTheScriptures  ).

Those who call themselves the followers of Jesus, and have learned from a teacher, a clergy, a prophet or adopted the beliefs or doctrines of a Church, have rejected the Gospel teachings. Quoting the Apostle Peter in the Homilies of Clement: "But the ways in which this [wedding] garment may be spotted are these: If any one withdraw from God the Father and Creator of all, receiving another teacher besides Christ, who alone is the faithful and True Prophet" (see The Sin Of The Defiled Wedding Garment http://TheCall.Nazirene.org#DefiledWeddingGarment  ). In the above the Apostle Peter not only portrays the scriptures as  "the mystery of the books which are able to deceive" , but also that "the falsehoods of Scripture are with good reason presented for a test.”   What this means is that if you believe the falsehoods that have been intentionally embedded in the text of the scriptures -- falsehoods that were inserted into the text of the scriptures to test the reader -- if you believe and embrace the literal meaning, then you have yet to reach the level of mental development where you are able to achieve greater advancement. It means that you still blindly believe, and you are not prepared to think with any depth of comprehension.

What the foregoing means, is that there are check-points embedded in the Gospels that (1) evaluate your level of development and test if you have advanced to the point where you can progress to the next step of development; And (2) by testing your level of development, the scriptures are (3) embedded with allegorical catalysts that can only be interpreted intuitively, and (4) only by those who seek the guidance of the Inner Teacher that exists at the Core of their Mind and Consciousness. Therefore, the embedded check-points will not permit you to believe what is false, what is convenient or what you choose to believe. That these built in check-points determine the balance of your mental position at each interval of testing that is built into the Natural Laws, and will only permit you to advance when your thinking has achieved a degree of Wholeness (see Spiritual Osmosis And The Narrow Gate http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#Osmosis  ). Why? Because the consciousness of organic man is at a seed-level as portrayed in the parable of The Sower And The Seed ( http://SowerAndTheSeed.Ebionite.com  ). And because the development of the mind beyond seed-levels of organic consciousness, can only be accomplished through evolutionary upward growth as higher levels of Truth is comprehended.
