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

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.
