Those
followers and disciples who walked and talked with Jesus daily -- the
very people who he personally taught -- those who could ask Jesus any
question, and have Jesus explain his answer in fullness and depth -- all
witnessed to the fact that Jesus was a true holy man who became Enlightened through the process of Anointing (Messiah/Christ) by fulfilling the Law of God within his own
mind and being. In their witness, they affirmed what Jesus personally taught them --
i.e., that he (quoting) "...was
justified by fulfilling the Law. He was the Christ (Anointed) 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). And Jesus personally taught and guided them into
the path where they were in the process of fulfilling the Law, and
themselves becoming the Anointed (Messiah Christ). And in their own fulfillment of the Law, they could understand what other men could not -- as seen in the words: “Unto you it is given to
know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto
them that are without, all these things are done in
parables: That seeing they may see, and not
perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not
understand” (Mark 4:11-12).
What does it mean to
"fulfill the Law"? Why hadn't "the rest of mankind observed the Law completely"? If what Jesus taught his followers that "Had any one else fulfilled the commandments of the Law, he would have been the Christ",
then the most important question for all the followers of Jesus is:
What must they, and other people do, to fulfill the Law and become the
Anointed (Messiah/Christ)? Jesus
taught his disciples a spiritually holistic vegetarian lifestyle that
is necessary to purify and transform their physical body-vessel (see The Holographic Mind
http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#TheHolographicMind ). As stated by the historian: Jesus was in
“...supernatural union of a man
and God... In their eyes, Jesus of Nazareth was a
mere mortal, the legitimate son of Joseph and Mary:
but he was the best and wisest of the human race,
selected as the worthy instrument to restore upon
earth the worship of the true and supreme Deity.
When he was baptized in the Jordan, the Christ, the
first of the aeons, the Son of God himself,
descended on Jesus in the form of a dove, to inhabit
his mind, and direct his actions during the allotted
period of his ministry” (Gibbon; The
Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, V.4, P.366). And if what Jesus said with respect to the
fact that he (Jesus) "was a man in like sense with all humanity", then there is no salvation in worshiping Jesus without doing what he taught to his closest of followers.
When
this Gospel fact is understood, it confirms the reality that the
Kingdom of God is within us as Jesus taught (see Luke 17:20-21) -- at
the core of our mind and being -- that each of us is the prodigal
son/daughter of the Most High -- and to use the scriptures as the Key of
Knowledge, the scriptures must be turned within our own Mind and Being.
The problem was that unlike the Essene Ebionite Nazirenes who were the
authors of our Gospels and other scriptures, the vast majority of the
Gentiles had no conception of an inner Kingdom. The Gentiles knew
nothing about the Natural Laws of Creation that develops and perfects
the Soul over the course of many lifetimes -- a reality which prompted
the disciples of Jesus to pose the question: "'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?'".
When his disciples asked him to clarify the cause of the man being
born blind because of sin, Jesus did not at all correct them. Why?
Because it is an historical documented fact that both the Pharisees and
the Essenes understood the evolution of the Soul over the course of many
lifetimes (see Biblical Foundation Mindset http://reincarnation.nazirene.org/...
). So how did Jesus answer this question pertaining to reincarnation
that was presented to him? Jesus presented them with a third reason why
a person is born blind (see The Three Causes Of Human Blindness http://originalgospel.ebionite.com/...
). And without an understanding of the Law that Jesus taught his
followers to prevail over, it would remain impossible for the Gentiles
to understand how a Soul evolves and becomes Anointed (Messiah/Christ)
and enters into a Coverture-Union with the Mind of God (Logos/Word/Son
see Coverture-Marriage - Was Jesus God? http://brotherofjesus.org/#CovertureMarriage
). What is a Coverture-Union with the Logos/Word/Son of God? It is
that condition when a a person becomes At-One with the Mind of God (see
At-Onement With The Logos/Son Of God http://brotherofjesus.org/#AtOnement ), which enables God to speak directly through the person.
Jesus
openly stated that it was not his words, but those of God who spoke
through him. When confronted by the Pharisees, and asked: "The Jews were amazed and asked, How did this man attain such learning without having studied?" Jesus explained that: "My teaching is not My own, Jesus replied. It comes from Him who sent Me" John 7:15-16). And then Jesus stated: "If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own" (John
7:17). What does it mean that ANYONE who does the will of God will
know the source of the words that Jesus spoke? It means that anyone who
does as Jesus taught and fulfills the Law within themselves, that they
will become Anointed in accord with their ability to receive the
Anointing. And having fulfilled the Law and been Anointed, that they
will be able to communicate directly with God.
