 Celebrating And Preaching The Gospel Of Constantine While Rejecting Christ

May be an image of 1 person and text

Why is Theologian and Pastor Kevin DeYoung preaching and celebrating the gospel of Constantine  at the Nicea Conference 2025 (see https://www.niceaconference.com/ ), which doctrine of the Trinity was literally forced upon the Church by the power of the Roman Imperial Army who hunted down the Ebionite Nazirenes and the Spiritual Christians? Thus, Edward Gibbon writes in the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: ”Constantine easily believed that the heretics, who presumed to dispute his opinions or to oppose his commands, were guilty of the most absurd and criminal obstinancy... Not a moment was lost in excluding the ministers and teachers of the separated congregations from any share of the rewards and immunities which the emperor had so liberally bestowed on the orthodox clergy. But as the sectaries might still exist under the cloud of royal disgrace, the conquest of the East was immediately followed by an edict which announced their total destruction”. Thus, in the same way that whoever did not embrace the religion of the emperor met with the sentence of death, whatever scriptures did not conform to the version approved by the Emperor Constantine, was immediately destroyed (see Bible Corruption http://biblecorruption.com ). 
It is easily proven that the original followers of Jesus who walked and talked with him daily, understood that Jesus taught that he was a man who fulfilled the Law of God and achieved the Enlightenment of the Anointing/Christing -- and became At-One with the Divine Mind (see  https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2024/05/jesus-was-man-who-fulfilled-law-and.html ).  And after declaring the original followers of Jesus to be heretics, Constantine declared that Jesus was God incarnate as portrayed in the pagan doctrine of the Trinity.  Which meant that the teaching on the pre-existent soul that evolves to Wholeness and Perfection over the course of many lives, was replaced with the Mithraic doctrine of Original Sin (see The Original Sin Of The Church https://originalgospel.ebionite.com/#TheOriginalSinOfTheChurch ).

It is a fact that Constantine corrupted the words that God spoke to mankind, when he recreated Jesus as god-incarnate -- see The Corruption Of The Words That God Spoke To Mankind  https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-corruption-of-words-god-spoke-to.htmlIn fact, there are six (6) pre-Nicene Church Fathers/Authors who confirmed the words of God as found in their Gospels prior to the corruption of the scriptures in the year 325 (see http://brotherofyeshua.com/challenge.htm#Gentile ). And the fact that the pre-Constantine Church taught the teaching on the pre-existent Soul that evolves to Wholeness and Perfection over the course of many lives, is easily proven in the Official Reply of the Church in Contra Celsum -- see The Pre-Nicene Position Of The Church On Reincarnation  https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-pre-nicene-position-of-church-on.html .  And what this easily proven corruption of the Gospels that is preached from our pulpits today can best be factually portrayed as The Religion Of Roman Emperors (see http://reincarnation.nazirene.org/#emperors ). And the fact that modern science has proven reincarnation (see  https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-facts-that-atheists-and-christians_1.html ), demonstrates that there is absolutely nothing of value in the man-made dogma of Constantine that is being celebrated by the modern Church.
With respect to the post by Pastor Kevin DeYoung, your Soul chose the life you are presently living. With respect to Kevin DeYoung's statement and lie that you don't contribute anything to achieve your subsequent stage of birth, the Gospel warns: "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5). Unless a person truly repents and brings about transformational change, the Christ and the Kingdom cannot be seen or come to them. And of those who do repent from their carnally-driven ways, only these few see and are able to enter the Kingdom -- "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom" (Matt 16:28). And the Gospel promise to those who do repent and embrace the transformative teachings of the Gospel, the promise is: "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie" (Rev 22:14-15). If the text of the Revelation represented the end of the world, as is commonly believed by the majority of Christians today, then we must pose the question: Why are those who remain outside the city portrayed as "dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie"? The lie is being preached by Pastor Kevin DeYoung and those who promote the dogma of Constantine. Armageddon, then, indicates the disciples personal tribulation described as the "pangs of birth" (see Gate Of Eden http://gateofeden.com#overcome ), as the disciple endeavors to overcome his own lower carnal nature through the crucifixion of what is symbolized by the flesh, in order that he can possess the Knowledge of the fruit of the Tree of Life, transcend the natural barriers of this world, and "enter through the gates into the city".

The Second Coming Of Christ Is Here And Now 


 


 The Christ Can Only Come To Those Who Have Repented And Brought About Spiritual Transformation
 
The Christ is here at present. The Second Coming has been brought about. The Kingdom has come. The Promise of the Gospels are True. Those who have not Spiritually Repented, are unable to see either the Christ or the Kingdom that lies before them. Those who Repent from a spiritual perspective, the Christ comes to -- “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 2 Peter 3:9. Those who are in a Spiritual Marriage (see Divine Marriage http://divinemarriage.nazirene.org/ ) and do not look upon a woman other than their wives with lust -- "But I say to you, anyone who looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matt 5:28) -- and have transformed their lower nature -- i.e., "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5). Unless a person truly repents and brings about transformational change, the Christ and the Kingdom cannot be seen or come to them. And of those who do repent from their carnally-driven ways, only these few see and are able to enter the Kingdom -- "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom" (Matt 16:28). And the Gospel promise to those who do repent and embrace the transformative teachings of the Gospel, the promise is: "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie" (Rev 22:14-15). If the text of the Revelation represented the end of the world, as is commonly believed by the majority of Christians today, then we must pose the question: Why are those who remain outside the city portrayed as "dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie"? Armageddon, then, indicates the disciples personal tribulation described as the "pangs of birth" (see Gate Of Eden http://gateofeden.com#overcome ), as the disciple endeavors to overcome his own lower carnal nature through the crucifixion of what is symbolized by the flesh, in order that he can possess the Knowledge of the fruit of the Tree of Life, transcend the natural barriers of this world, and "enter through the gates into the city".
 
The Second Coming is Now! Yet, the vast majority of Christians cannot see either the Christ or the "narrow gate" to the Kingdom, because they refuse to believe what Jesus taught. When he was asked about the Kingdom and what is known as the Second Coming, Jesus stated: "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom" (Matt 16:28). Which provokes the question: Why did the Kingdom come within the few who Jesus made reference to, and not everyone else? And this statement that is generally ignored by those who claim to believe, has been true in every generation since. In every century, Jesus and the Kingdom came to those who had repented and embraced the Original Teachings which the Church of Rome rejected. When Jesus was asked when the Kingdom would come, he told them not to look for the Kingdom in the outer world in the manner of the Jews who he portrayed as the "spawn of the devil" for throwing away the Key of Knowledge (see The Devil's Spawn http://devilspawn.ebionite.com/ ). Why? Because the Christ and the Kingdom can only come within them: "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, See here! or, see there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20-21). In order to enter the Kingdom, Jesus taught to enter through the "narrow gate" (see Spiritual Osmosis And The Narrow Gate http://lawofoctaves.nazirene.org/#Osmosis ).

If the words of Jesus are true -- and the Kingdom is within you -- then the question that Christians should be asking, is how must the Kingdom be entered? The answer is the proper application of the Key of Knowledge by turning the scriptures within your own mind and being -- i.e., "How terrible it will be for you experts in religious law! For you hide the key to knowledge from the people. You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering" (Luke 11:52). Thus, in understanding these words spoken to the Pharisees, the questions must be asked: How did the Pharisees and Jewish authorities "...hide the key to knowledge from the people"? Why did Jesus condemn the leaders of the Jews for failing to enter the Kingdom themselves? -- i.e., "...You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves"! And how did the religious leaders of the Jews "...prevent others from entering?" In further clarification, the TEV version of the this verse states: “How terrible for you teachers of the Law! You have kept the key that opens the door to the house of knowledge; you yourselves will not go in, and you stop those who are trying to go in!” (Luke 11:52 TEV). Thus, the scriptures when properly used, have the ability to "open the [inner] door to the House of Knowledge" -- and their outward interpretations whereby they seek the Kingdom to come outwardly (see The End Times - Armageddon/Rapture - The Coming Of The Kingdom http://treeoflife.nazirene.org/#EndTimes ), inhibits believers from "going in [the House of Knowledge]" -- and by teaching the people their outward ritual interpretations, they inhibited the community of believers from entering the Hose of Knowledge through the "narrow gate".

In the same way that there were the few who entered through the "narrow gate" and experienced the Coming of Christ, there are people who have embraced the Promise of the Gospel, and are in the process of having the Christ and the Kingdom come to them in the present. Repentance means the Transformation of the Self -- the spiritualization of the Family and the raising of Children -- and the building of Spiritual Communities that support the Coming and Presence of the Christ and the Kingdom. Quoting from The Spiritual Holistic Lifestyle http://lawofthegospels.ebionite.com/#TheSpiritualHolisticLifestyle
The teachings of Jesus was founded upon a spiritual mindset and lifestyle that was the Natural Environment to bring about spiritual growth and development -- built upon Consecrated Marriages that spawned natural growth and development beyond organic human consciousness (see The Real Facts Of Life You Were Never Told About http://therealfactsoflife.ebionite.com/ ) -- living on diets that did not pollute the body with death (see http://theconsecratedlife.ebionite.com/#mysteries ) -- in Spiritual Communities that acted as a Cocoon for Spiritual Advancement and Manifestation. The original Ebionite Nazirenes lived a Holistic Spiritual Lifestyle in Consecrated Marriages and highly advanced Spiritual Communities that enabled them to refine their lower earthly nature -- and this refined lower physical nature permitted them to comprehend man's higher Soul and Spiritual Realities that is beyond the comprehension of organic "natural" man. This Higher Spiritual Knowledge has been portrayed as the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God. As it is written: "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna" (Rev 2:17) And it is this Spiritual Holistic Lifestyle that Paul set forth when he stated: "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5). From an Original Gospel perspective it must therefore be understood that if the congregation of believers could simply have faith, without living a Consecrated Life set apart from the thinking and lifestyle of the people of this world, then believers of the simple faith would not have been warned that: “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live” (Rom 8:13).

Baptism - The Required Wedding Garment That Christians Lack


 


Baptism - The Required Wedding Garment:

The modern Church states that Salvation is a free gift that is guaranteed to all who believe and call upon the name of the Lord -- stating:  "You must believe in salvation by grace alone, and that salvation is immediate and eternal upon acceptance of Jesus as a one-time sacrifice for your sins, and not obtained through works, sacraments, traditions or merits of our own"  Yet, the brother of Jesus who was the first leader of the Jerusalem congregation stated: "But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?" (James 2:20).   Why?   Because in order to be a follower of Jesus, the person must live in the manner that he taught.  What works was James making reference to?

The Gospel teachings of Jesus and the New Covenant known as TheWay, has specific Sacraments -- and the spiritual significance of these sacraments are not at all understood today. In the parable of The Call to the Wedding Feast, what is portrayed as the required "wedding garment" is in fact the sacrament of baptism. But the original teachings on baptism was totally abandoned by the segment of early Gentile Church which portrayed itself as Orthodox, and it is this man-made dogma that has caused the original teachings on baptism to be very different than what is practiced or understood today. 

In total rejection of the modern dogma of the Church, Paul writes that "...For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." (Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV). Peter confirms the foregoing in the words: "It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them." Paul again warns that those who sin after coming to the Lord "eateth and drinketh damnation to himself". And while Christians have blindly chosen to ignore these warnings, they are confirmed in the Homilies of Clement who was the first century disciple of the Apostle Peter where he is quoted as stating with respect to the sacrament of Baptism: "He has commanded us to go forth to preach, and to invite you to the supper of the heavenly King, which the Father hath prepared for the marriage of His Son, and that we should give you wedding garments, that is, the grace of baptism; which whosoever obtains, as a spotless robe with which he is to enter to the supper of the King, ought to beware that it be not in any part of it stained with sin, and so he be rejected as unworthy and reprobate." Contrary to the modern usage of the sacrament of baptism, according to Peter, once the "wedding garment" is received, if the person then willfully sins, then the wedding garment is stained, and there can be no further repentance -- i.e., you "...ought to beware that it be not in any part of it stained with sin, and so he be rejected as unworthy and reprobate."

The most popular and accepted scripture over the first three centuries was the Shepherd of Hermas (see Shepherd https://nazirene.org/shepherd_of_hermas.htm  ), which states that once one receives the sacrament of baptism which is the "wedding garment", there is only one opportunity for repentance from any future sins -- i.e., "For he that hath received remission of sins ought no longer to sin, but to dwell in purity. ...But I say unto you', saith he, `if after this great and holy calling any one, being tempted of the devil, shall commit sin, he hath only one (opportunity of) repentance." While this original teaching will be rejected by the modern dogmatic Church who uses the Jesus-god of Constantine as an exemption from being required to live in accord with the Commandments and the Original Gospel Teachings, this statement in the Shepherd of Hermas is in fact confirmed by Paul in the warning: "For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who ...then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.. For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." (Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV). Thus, Acts 3:19 confirms the original teachings that baptism -- as the required wedding garment -- must constitute a total repentance from sin, and the living of a life where the believer does not consciously commit any future sin: "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you...". To repent and turn to God, requires a total change of mind and lifestyle. Those who truly accomplish this, will personally receive the Anointing (Messiah/Christ), which will open their minds and enlighten them in accord with their Spiritual Condition.

As older pre-Nicene collections and copies of ancient scriptures are recovered through archaeological discoveries, they continue to demonstrate the existence of an entirely different Christianity that is totally foreign to the Church that enlists under the name of Christ today. In fact, even with the documentation long possessed by the modern church, it is easy to literally pull the proverbial rug right out from under the very foundation of popular Christian thought. In a surviving excerpt of what has been historically known as the Gospel According to the Hebrews, which was reported to be the "original version of Matthew" that was composed in the Hebrew language, of which our present day gospel is a lesser Greek version of, it was written: "If ye be in my bosom and do not the will of my Father which is in heaven, out of my bosom will I cast you away". In the late nineteenth century a library of scriptures was uncovered which is today known as the Oxyrhynchus Papyri -- wherein this verse is found reading: "Though ye be gathered together with me in my bosom, if ye do not my commandants, I will cast you forth". And to the horror of modern Christians who reject the Gospel of the Nazirenes (see Gospel Of The Nazirenes http://gospel.nazirene.org/gospel_three.htm#bosom  ) and all its strange readings, we once again find this same verse: And I say to you, "Though you be gathered together in my bosom, if you keep not my commandments I will cast you forth. For if you keep not the lesser mysteries, who shall give you the greater." This same verse of scripture is quoted in what is historically known as the 2nd Epistle of Clement, where it is written: "Let us, then, not only call Him Lord, for that will not save us. For He saith, 'Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall be saved, but he that worketh righteousness' …For this reason… the Lord hath said, 'Even though ye were gathered together to me in my very bosom, yet if ye were not to keep my commandments, I would cast you off, and say unto you, Depart from me; I know you not whence ye are, ye workers of iniquity’". Of course, Christians can no longer read this important teaching, because the Church of Constantine censored and removed Jesus' words from the canonical Bibles used today.

What this means is that the religion of Jesus in its original form was one of spiritual transformation as restored at The Law Of The Gospels http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com  -- and those who willfully sin after coming to the knowledge of Christ -- being initially clothed in the "wedding garment" of Spiritual Baptism -- crucify the Son of God afresh when they then willfully sin -- and in the warning of Paul, "...there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." This is why Paul stated with respect to those who call themselves Christian, and continue to live a sinful life: "But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor" (Gal 2:17-18). Which confirms the alternate ending of the Gospel of Mark which reads: "This Age of lawlessness and unbelieving lies under the sway of Satan, who will not allow what lies under the unclean spirits to understand the truth and power of God; therefore, they said to Christ, reveal your righteousness now. Christ answered them, The term of years for Satan's power has now expired, but other terrors are at hand. I was delivered to death on behalf of sinners, that they might return to the truth and sin no more, that they might inherit that glory of righteousness which is spiritual and imperishable in heaven" (Moffatt, quoting Gospel Of Mark in Codex W - Also quoted by St. Jerome as being the authentic ending of the Gospel of Mark). Thus, Jesus warned those who would call upon the Lord and expect to have earned salvation: “But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46). And, “Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matt 7:21). That the very people who with their lips proclaim themselves to believe, continue to lie "...under the sway of Satan" -- or, in the words of John: "Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning" (1 John 3:7-8).
