Fulfilling The Law - Spiritual Sabbath

 Fulfilling The Law --The Spiritual Meaning Of The Sabbath

 

The Law was not done away with. What was done away with is the allegorical portrayal of the Law as presented in the Torah known as the Law of Moses. As stated at Jeremiah 31:33: "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts" Which means that each person must learn how to fulfill the Law and the Sabbath within them as Jesus taught. And therein lies the problem as seen in the fact that the Christian world erroneously believes and were taught the the Law is no longer in effect -- which is a pagan lie that has immersed the Church is abject spiritual ignorance of the Gospel teachings. In the same way that Jesus taught that the Kingdom is within you -- this is why Jesus taught his disciples how to fulfill the Law within them as set forth in the words of Church Father Hippolytus when he stated that it was the Ebionite position that the man Jesus "...was justified by fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ of God, since not one of the rest of mankind had observed the Law completely. Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ, for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man in like sense with all humanity" (see Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34). Hence, Hippolytus states pertaining to the Gospel teachings of the original followers of of Jesus that "...when Ebionites [or any other person] thus fulfills the law, they are able to become Christs, for they assert that our Lord Himself was a man in like sense with all humanity" (Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34). And this is in fact the purpose and objective of the Gospel teachings -- i.e., to enable the lost prodigal sons/daughters to be restored to the Edenic Kingdom (see http://GateOfEden.com ) while still in the physical body-vessel -- and to attain the Anointing and At-Onement with the Divine Mind (see At-Onement With The Logos/Son Of God http://BrotherOfJesus.org#AtOnement ). Which means that the question that confronts every person who has ever walked the face of the earth is this: How many lifetimes will it take for you to fulfill the Natural Laws of Creation within your own mind and being, and in the words of the Revelation, "Go Out No More" -- i.e., "He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more" (Rev 3:12 see Go Out No More http://CausalFactor.Nazirene.org#GoOutNoMore  ).

While it is true that the Church of Constantine who was a sun-worshipper changed the Sabbath from the biblical seventh day to the first (sun) day, it is also true that Jesus and his disciples did not celebrate the Sabbath as a ritual observance in the manner of the Jews. Why? Because (1) the True Sabbath is Spiritual; (2) whereas, the scriptures are an allegorical portrayal of your own mind that you must bring about within your own consciousness; (3) which means that the physical seventh day ritual observance is not what is indicated in the Gospels.

It should alarm modern Christians that in one of the ancient codexes is found a statement of Jesus that has also recently been confirmed in the newly discovered Gospel of Thomas in what is now known as the Nag Hammadi Library. In this codex the Gospel of Luke contains the verses: "On the same day, He (Jesus) beholding a man laboring on the Sabbath, said to him: Man if thou knowest what thou doest, blessed art thou; if however thou dost not know, cursed art thou and a transgressor of the law". And this verse is again found in the Gospel Of The Nazirenes: "And Yeshua beheld a man working on the Sabbath, and He said to him, man, if you know what you are doing, you are blessed, for you are not breaking the law in the spirit; but if you don't know, you are accursed and a transgressor of the law." Doctrinally, this crucial verse was removed by the Gentile church for two reasons -- i.e., because of its affirmation of the Sabbath as the day of the Lord; and also because it demonstrated Jesus' ratification of the Law of Moses with perhaps a very Gnostic twist with regard to the necessity of the acquisition of Divine Knowledge to understand the spiritual meaning of the allegorical scriptures. What Jesus is saying is that, if one possesses the Divine Knowledge to understand the true spiritual meaning of the Sabbath: If a person labors on the Sabbath, he is blessed if he understands the spiritual meaning of the Sabbath -- but, if one does not possess the Divine Knowledge of the Sabbath as Jesus himself taught, and labors on the Sabbath, that person is cursed and have made themselves a transgressor of the law. Why? Unless you fulfill the Law and the Sabbath within you as Jesus taught, you will not be able to fulfill the Law within you as is necessary to be restored to the Kingdom.

In view of the fact that Christians today have no understanding at all with regard to the true spiritual meaning of the Sabbath, from the perspective of what Jesus taught, they would be deemed to be transgressors of the Law -- a Law that they fail to even realize they are under. In light of our current knowledge derived from the Dead Sea Scrolls, with the possible exception of the Seventh Day Adventists, there is good reason to assert that Jesus would call the modern believer a "transgressor of the law". Why? If they fail to observe the ritual of the Sabbath and in practice they embrace and observe the paganism of Rome, how can they even begin to comprehend and embrace the Spiritual Sabbath and the esoteric meaning of the Seventh Day.

What this means is that modern Christianity not only follows the tenets of paganism drawn from the doctrines of the Roman Emperor Constantine, but with the insertion of the Mithraic doctrine of Original Sin and the suppression of the Gospel teaching on the pre-existent soul that evolves to Wholeness and Perfection over the course of many lives -- see The Religion Of Roman Emperors http://ChristianReincarnation.org#emperors  AND The Pre-Nicene Church Taught Reincarnation http://ChristianReincarnation.org#PreNiceneChurch  ) -- the continued rejection of the biblical Sabbath totally excludes the modern Christian from having anything in common with the Original Gospel Teachings (see The Law Of The Gospels http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com ). But often those who think they are observing the Sabbath that Jesus revealed to his original Ebionite followers, and lack any understanding of the Spiritual Meaning of the Sabbath that exempts the person from observing the Sabbath ritual of the Jews, are condemned because of their judgment of those who don't observe the allegorical Sabbath of the literal Law of Moses.

 

Those Spiritual followers of Jesus who have fulfilled the Law within their own mind and body as Jesus taught (see Jesus Fulfilled And Taught The Natural Fulfillment Of The Laws Of God: http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#JesusFulfilledTheLaw  ), and have entered through the "narrow gate" into the Inner Kingdom, are the only ones who have observed the Sabbath in the manner that Jesus taught. And it is these few who are able to enter into the Promise of Life in the Kingdom.
