At-Onement With The Logos/Son Of God

At-Onement With The Logos/Son Of God:

Because our modern culture does not understand what would be portrayed as a Coverture Marriage Union, they can't understand the impact of the corruption of the words of the Gospel where God spoke directly to mankind (see The Corruption Of The Words Of God http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CorruptionOfGodsWords ), and what it means to be At-One with the Logos/Son of God.  Quoting from At-Onement With The Logos/Son Of God http://BrotherOfJesus.org#AtOnement :

At-Onement With The Logos/Son Of God: What does it mean to be At-One with the Logos/Son of God?  In the parable of TheCall (see http://TheCall.Nazirene.org ), the believer/disciple must prepare themselves to come to the Wedding Feast.  In the parable of the Ten Virgins, the believer/disciple is portrayed as a virgin who must enter the bridal chamber with the Bridegroom (Logos/Son of God -- i.e., "The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut" (Matt 25:10).  The portrayal of a virgin is that of purity and undefiled by this world.  Where the Church Authority Hippolytus above portrays Jesus becoming the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) by fulfilling the Law, the relationship of a Holy Man who can be portrayed as s Spiritual Virgin who fulfills the Law within his own Mind and Being was noted by Gibbon who wrote that Jesus was portrayed by his direct followers as being 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).   Thus, when the Holy and Anointed man Jesus became At-One with the Indwelling Logos/Son of God, he entered what in Natural Law was understood to be a Coverture, which is the concept that woman was an integral part of the man as seen and demonstrated in our laws that predated our so-called modern times.  In Blackstone's Law Commentary, under the Common Law, Book II, Chapter XXIX, VI, marriage is described as the absolute merger of husband and wife into a single legal identity: “…By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law... The very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least is incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband, under whose wing, protection, and cover she performs everything; and is therefore called… a femme-covert; and her condition during her marriage is called her coverture”.  In Law, the concept of the unity of husband and wife as a single person was so complete, that a married woman was even absolved of full criminal responsibility for her own conduct: “…criminal acts committed by a woman in her husband's presence were assumed to be done under the husband's command, and he was therefore held responsible” (The Law of Domestic Relations by Homer Clark, St. Paul, Minn, West Publishing Co., 1968, p. 229). As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Black observed: “…this rule has worked out in reality to mean that though the husband and wife are one, the one is the husband” (Law, Society, and Industrial Justice by Philip Selznick, New York: Russell Sage Foundation, 1969, p. 53).  And it is this Coverture relationship that is portrayed in the 22nd saying of the Gospel of Thomas when the disciples asked about how the Kingdom is to be entered: Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; ...then will you enter the kingdom."

By fulfilling the Law and restoring the duality of Adam and Eve and the Tree of Duality within himself (see The Restoral Of Adam And Eve http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#RestoralOfAdamEve ), the man Jesus who had achieved the purity of what can be portrayed as a Spiritual Virgin, became Anointed (Messiah/Christ), and was able to enter into a Coverture Marriage with the Logos/Son of God -- as seen in the above words of Gibbon:  "...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”  And the relationship of the man Jesus who entered into a Coverture Marriage with the Logos/Son of God, is therefore portrayed in the above words: “…By marriage (At-Onement), the husband and wife are one person in law... The very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least is incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband, under whose wing, protection, and cover she performs everything; and is therefore called… a femme-covert; and her condition during her marriage is called her coverture”.  And it is this same invitation that is extended to all of mankind in the parable of TheCall to the Wedding Feast (see http://TheCall.Nazirene.org ).   Therefore, the Original Gospel Teachings were set forth to the lost prodigal sons and daughters how to enter into a Coverture Marriage with the Logos/Son of God.   Therefore, the Original Gospel teachings did not tell people what to believe -- but rather, how to tap into the Universal Source of Truth within them, and Experience the Truth.  Jesus taught his followers: "If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you" (John 8:31-32 TheMessage).  Jesus didn't say that they would believe the truth -- or that they would discern what they believed would be dogmatic truth out of the scriptures or some book written by other men -- but rather, Jesus conveyed to them that if they follow in TheWay of the New Covenant that he inaugurated, that they "...will experience for yourselves the truth, ...and it is this SELF-EXPERIENCED TRUTH that...will free you" from the error and ignorance that consumes the people of this world -- and especially the blind guides who portray themselves as rabbis, teachers, clergy, religious leaders and authorities. 

That the historical man Jesus was a true Holy Man who became the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) by fulfilling the Royal Law within himself, is attested to at Acts 2:22 where Jesus is portrayed as "a man, attested to you by God" -- and this was demonstrated by God performing "mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst".   If Jesus was himself God incarnate as believed by the later Romans, then these words portraying Jesus as a man approved by God through the works and wonders that God did through him, never would have been presented in this manner.   When the people questioned the source of Jesus' words, he called himself a prophet: "So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house" (Matt 13:57). And not only did he call himself a prophet, but spoke of the crucifixion as his ultimate process of perfection:  "On that very day some Pharisees came, saying to Him, Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You.  And He said to them, Go, tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.' Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem" (Luke 13:31-33 NKJ).   And when the man approached Jesus calling him good teacher, Jesus rejected the title stating: "So Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God" (Mark 10:18 NKJ).   And when it was recognized that the man was asking Jesus about how to achieve eternal life -- and that Jesus did not reply to believe in him (Jesus) as God -- but to keep the Law and the Commandments -- then the Ebionite position that Jesus became the Anointed (Messiah/Christ) by fulfilling the Law -- and that it was necessary for Jesus' disciples and followers to in like manner fulfill the Law and keep the Commandments -- is exactly what Jesus the Anointed Prophet taught and expected of those who believed in what he taught.    Now if you add to the above the very words attributed to Jesus', we can understand both the original Ebionite position that the followers of Jesus must keep the Law, and the profound spiritual ignorance which rejects the requirement of actions as an integral part of the equation: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, 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.  Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt 5:17-26 NIV).
