Those followers and disciples who walked and talked with Jesus daily -- the very people who he personally taught -- those followers who could ask Jesus any question -- all witnessed to the fact that Jesus was a true holy man who became Anointed (Messiah/Christ/Enlightened) by fulfilling the Law of God within his own mind and being.  What does this mean?  It means that at each level of Higher Consciousness, there are conditions of body, mind and spirit that must be present for each Higher Level of Consciousness to Manifest.   In understanding the condition of the Natural Laws that had to be met and achieved for a person's mind to become Anointed (Christed) by the Light of the Holy Spirit, the original followers of Jesus affirmed that Jesus (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).  The English translation of the words Messiah or Christ in English is Anoint or Anointed.  Twenty One Prophets and Kings were Anointed (Christed) in the Old Testament.  And of those who had receive the Anointing, the Gospel of the Hebrews states: "For in the prophets also, after they were anointed by the Holy Spirit, the word of sin was found".   Which in the Gospel of the Hebrews explains that at the baptism of Jesus it stated: "And it came to pass when the Lord was come up out of the water, the whole fount of the Holy Spirit descended upon him" -- which indicates that Jesus was able to receive the Whole Anointing because of the his sinlessness and Condition of Mind.   

Jesus taught his followers that any of the prodigal sons who fulfill the Law as he had done, becomes Anointed (Messiah/Christ), and only then do they have the ability to seek to be At-One with the Logos/Word?Mind/Son of God.  It was the living of the necessary Consecrated Life that Jesus ordained, and the seeking of the Kingdom within, that enabled the historical man Jesus to become the Messiah, and At-One with the Indwelling Logos/Son of God -- a path and teachings that the modern Church totally rejects based upon the pagan doctrines of Roman Emperors.  And the reality that Jesus, the man, became the Anointed, and through his Wholeness, achieved a condition of At-Oneness with the Indwelling Logos/Son of God.  This is especially demonstrated in the words of Edward Gibbon with respect to the original position of the Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus that he 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).   The later Church suppressed the core teaching on how each person must fulfill the Law within their own mind and being, as Jesus taught his original followers (see The Law Of The Gospels http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com ). 

What is personified in the image of Jesus in the Gospels is the eventual destiny of all of mankind.  You are the prodigal Son/Daughter -- and as the prodigal Son/Daughter, you must yourself return to the Edenic Kingdom that you have previously abandoned to travel in this world -- i.e., portrayed as the Far Country -- ruled over by the Consciousness or Citizen of this world.  In the same way that the prodigal son had to "come to his senses", in order to return to the Father, you must do the same.   Which means that we have to embrace and follow the teachings of the Gospels to bring about our own return.   You don't remember abandoning the Kingdom, because you have been struck with spiritual amnesia (see http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#SpiritualAmnesia ),  But if you do as Jesus taught, and pick up your own cross and travail in TheWay that Jesus taught (see The Cross You Must Bear To Your Own Crucifixion  http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#TheCross ), your memory will be restored, and you will complete your Destiny as personified in Jewish Mysticism in the words as stated in The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, under the heading of Souls, Transmigration of: “The doctrine of transmigration of souls, which was especially accepted by the Karaites… is defended by Isaac Abravanel and Manasseh ben Israel.  It appears often in Cabala; it is found in organized form in the Zohar, it is further developed in the teachings of Isaac Luria (1534-1572), and in Hasidism it becomes a universal belief.   According to these teachings, all human souls have a common origin in the spiritual unity of the primordial man, sparks of which form the individual souls... The sin of Adam brought higher and lower souls into confusion; as a result, every soul has to pass through a series of incarnations... The soul itself has no sex, which is determined by the body and may vary from incarnation to incarnation”.   Further in the Zohar which is the foundational doctrine of Jewish Mysticism, it is written that: “All souls are subject to the trials of transmigration; and men do not know the designs of the Most High with regard to them… The souls must re-enter the absolute substance whence they have emerged.  But to accomplish this end they must develop all the perfections, the germ of which is planted in them; and if they have not fulfilled this condition during one life, they must commence another, a third, and so forth, until they have acquired the condition which fits them for reunion with God”.  Which is also portrayed in the pre-Nicene Church teaching -- i.e., in his famed work De Principiis the Church Father Origen explains: "The soul has neither beginning nor end... Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life. Its place in this world as a vessel appointed to honor or dishonor is determined by its previous merits or demerits. Its work in this world determines its place in the world which is to follow this..." This was the core teachings of the Church, before it was changed by a series of Roman Emperors -- see The Pre-Nicene Position Of The Church On Reincarnation https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-pre-nicene-position-of-church-on.html .

Who will be saved from a Christian perspective? When Jesus said: Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'" (Matt 7:15-23) -- we must ask: What is the "...practice [of] lawlessness!"?  If Wholeness is the practice of the Law -- as Jesus stated in the words: "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17) -- then whatever is against or anti-Wholeness, is the "...practice of lawlessness!".  What this means is that those who preach in the name of Jesus from their pulpits -- prophesize in the name of Jesus on their street corners -- cast out demons and perform miracles and wonders in the name of Jesus -- can and will be rejected, because of their lawlessness and lack of wholeness.  Before the foregoing Gospel verses can be understood, we must first understand what it means to be Whole.   Which provokes the question: How is Wholeness achieved?   Contrary to the dogma of the modern Church, if Jesus is the savior who every person needs for salvation, then Jesus himself said the Church was wrong.  Jesus warned that the mere belief in the historical man Jesus does not bring about Wholeness -- and from the dogmatic perception of the modern Church, salvation.  And as a physician, Jesus did not come for the salvation of those who had achieved Wholeness, but only for those who are sick, and in need of a physician.   And in total opposition to Church dogma, what this also means is that at the time the historical man Jesus walked the face of the earth, there existed people who he portrayed as "whole [and] righteous" who did not need Jesus the physician.  Jesus openly states that his mission as a spiritual physician is not for them, because they achieved the necessary Wholeness without him. 

  Who Am I?  In this life my name is Allan Cronshaw.  But in the former life of my Soul, I was known as Jacob/Ya'kov who people today mistakenly call James, the brother of Yeshua who they mistakenly call Jesus, and as the original author of the core Gospel composed in the language of Author Of Original Gospel composed in Hebrew Characters (see http://SpiritualGospel.org#OriginalLanguage ), that was composed for exclusive use of the Ebionite followers of Jesus (see The Restored Gospel -- http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com ).  Before you say that this is impossible, you should examine the Facts -- i.e., Science has Proven Reincarnation http://ChristianReincarnation.org#Science -- The Pre-Nicene Church Taught Reincarnation http://ChristianReincarnation.org#PreNiceneChurch -- and many existing Gospel verses teach reincarnation when properly interpreted (see Biblical Verses That Teach Reincarnation http://ChristianReincarnation.org#BibleVersesOnReincarnation  ).  That the Original Gospels which were composed in the language of Hebrew Characters was never intended to be given into the hands of those outside of the Ebionites, is demonstrated in the Epistle of Peter to James where the Apostle Peter wrote: "Hear me, brethren and fellow-servants. If we should give the books to all indiscriminately, and they should be corrupted by any daring men, or be perverted by interpretations, as you have heard that some have already done, it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error.   Wherefore it is better that they should be with us, and that we should  communicate them with all the fore-mentioned care to those who wish to live piously, and to save others."   When it is realized that the Gentiles corrupted the Gospels, and failed to understand the Law and the fulfillment thereof as the purpose and objective of the Gospels, the reality that was feared has come to be true that "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error" is the descriptive realty of the modern Christian world.  Which means the question is, that if they could hear from the Original Author, would they even consider what he stated?  Or will they choose to continue embracing the doctrines of men are remain blind to the spiritual meaning of the scriptures -- i.e., “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding” (Mark 4:11-12) -- further stating: "And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.  But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples" (Mark 4:33-34).  Thus, because the Gentiles did not understand the fulfillment of the Law as Jesus taught his (Ebionite) followers and disciples, and without living the mindset and lifestyle that Jesus taught, the process of mental-expansion and spiritual-deepening did not take place -- leaving the Gentile followers too carnal to understand even the need and purpose of the symbolism of the scriptures (see The Purpose Of The Scriptures http://GospelCosmology.Ebionite.com#PurposeOfTheScriptures ). 

An Ultra Important Truth is contained in the Epistle of Peter to James where it is stated:    Those Gentiles outside of the original Ebionite/Nazirene core of disciples and followers of Jesus, did not were quick to corrupt all the copies of the scriptures that were given to them.   And this fact is confirmed to us  by Dr. F. H. Scrivener where he writes that: "In the second century we have seen too many instances of attempts to tamper with the text of Scripture, some merely injudicious, others positively dishonest". Scrivener states that "it is no less true to fact than paradoxical in sound, that the worst corruptions to which the New Testament has ever been subjected, originated within 100 years after it was composed: and that Irenaeus and the African Fathers, and the whole Western, with a portion of the Syrian Church" used inferior manuscripts (F.H.Scrivener, Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament).    Dean Burgon quotes Gaius (AD175-200) who speaks of the source of corruptions that survive in the early papyri: "The Divine Scriptures these heretics have audaciously corrupted. Laying violent hands upon them, under pretense of correcting them" (Burgon, The Revision Revised, p. 323).   Eusebius (Eccleastical History), citing the second century Church Father Clement of Alexandria: "The worst corruptions to which the New Testament has ever been subjected originated within one hundred years after it was composed."   In the words of Colwell (What is the Best New Testament Text?, p.119)  "The first two centuries witnessed the creations of the large number of variations known to scholars today.  In the manuscripts of the New Testament most variations, I believe, were made deliberately."   G.D. Kilpatrick (Atticism and the Text of the Greek New Testament, pp 125-131):  "Deliberate changes in all text types appear to antedate A.D. 200..as distinct from errors... all categories of deliberate alteration...  are present in both groups. Tatian is the last author of make deliberate changes. The vast majority of deliberate changes were older then A.D. 200.  They came into being in the period A.D. 50-200."

An Inconvenient Reality: It can be easily understood why the Ebionite/Nazirene disciples of Jesus not only did not give the Greek converts who edited and corrupted the text of their scriptures, but the Ebionite/Nazirenes also withheld the most spiritual and important scriptures to be preserved only in their care.   Thus, Peter writes to James: "Knowing, my brother, your eager desire after that which is for the advantage of us all, I beg and beseech you not to communicate to any one of the Gentiles the books of my preachings which I sent to you, nor to any one of our own tribe before trial; but if any one has been proved and found worthy, then to commit them to him, after the manner in which Moses delivered his books to the Seventy who succeeded to his chair.  Wherefore also the fruit of that caution appears even till now. For his countrymen keep the same rule of monarchy and polity everywhere, being unable in any way to think otherwise, or to be led out of the way of the much-indicating Scriptures. For, according to the rule delivered to them, they endeavor to correct the discordances of the Scriptures, if any one, haply not knowing the traditions, is confounded at the various utterances of the prophets. Wherefore they charge no one to teach, unless he has first learned how the Scriptures must be used. And thus they have amongst them one God, one law, one hope" (see Epistle Of Peter And James).

When Peter wrote to Jacob/James that "...they endeavor to correct the discordances of the Scriptures, if any one, haply not knowing the traditions, is confounded at the various utterances of the prophets" -- the discordances of the scriptures which were the historical untruths that were intentionally inserted into the text for an ultra-important reason.   And with the removal of these discordances by the scribes of the Gentile Church, the scriptures suffered a loss of their effectiveness in relation to their true purpose and objective.   But just as important is the statement that  "...Wherefore they charge no one to teach, unless he has first learned how the Scriptures must be used".   And herein lies the problem: The modern Christian is absolutely clueless as to "...how the Scriptures must be used"!!!   And thus, because of this state of abject ignorance in conjunction with the editing and removal of what is portrayed as the discordances and many of the most important original Gospel teachings, the Church has rendered the study of the Gospels virtually worthless.   In the words of the Church Father Origen: “Scripture contains an unhistorical element in-woven with the history, in order that the worthlessness of the latter may drive us to seek the spiritual meaning” (Origen quoted under Origen Adamntius; The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics).  The authors of the scriptures did not compose historical accounts -- but because of the inability of the faith-based believers to comprehend their own higher Soul and Spiritual reality, the authors used a quasi-historical cloak to allegorically present important teachings and concepts that could not be comprehended by the human organic "natural" level of mind.   And what Peter portrays as the "discordances" of the scriptures -- what Origen correctly portrays as the "...unhistorical element in-woven with the history" -- not only inhibits the person from reading the scriptures literally/historically -- but in most instances presents an ultra-important spiritual truth.  But when the faith-based Gentile Church attempted to correct these discordances and unhistorical events, they ignorantly inhibited the process of mental and spiritual development which was and is the primary purpose the scriptures were written.   Thereby causing them to remain permanently bound to what the Church Father Origen portrayed as the fate of the immature Christian when he stated that the elementary "testimony" of Christ was “...preached in the Churches …for the simpleminded and for the ears of the common crowd who are led on to live better lives by their belief”  (see Origen, Contra Celsum).   Leading a better life was the beginning of the Gospel teachings -- evolving and becoming spiritually transformed was the primary objective.

I was sent back into this world to restore the important teachings that the fourth century Church of Constantine suppressed and removed from the Gospels (see The Restored Gospel -- http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com ) --

The Restored Original Gospel Teachings http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com  ).    I was sent to convey to seekers how to enter into the Narrow Gate (see Spiritual Osmosis And The Narrow Gate http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#Osmosis ).  To prepare for the Inward Journey, it is necessary to understand the Cosmology of Mind set forth in the Tree Of Life http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org .   I have no followers. No one is asked for any donations on any of my articles on my websites or blogs. There is no conversion to anything. The True Church is Spiritual, and not of this world. Therefore, as a guide, I don't encourage anyone to join a church. Everything that I have written, is given to others free of charge. Neither do I peddle any books.  Yet, my writings are read worldwide.   Why? 

Why Does It Matter If The Gospels Were Corrupted?  In the Epistle of Peter to James, it is warned that if the body of esoteric knowledge is lost or thrown away, that "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error"  Why?  If one is saved by accepting Jesus as your personal lord and savior, then how would a believer perpetually wander in error because they lacked Truth?  The answer is found in the fact that the Gospels are a series of enigmatic parables, WITHIN A LARGER PARABLE, containing  allegorical symbols, that cannot be understood by the "natural mind" of organic man -- i.e., "And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.  But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples" (Mark 4:33-34).   And this same fact that modern believers to their own detriment ignores, is verified in the Epistles of Paul -- see (see Animal-Soul http://AnInconvenientTruth.org#animal ).  And that only after the believer commences to fulfill the Law, could they begin to  -- i.e., “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding” (Mark 4:11-12).  In that instance, Jesus had been explaining the parable of the Sower and the Seed (see The Sower And The Seed http://SowerAndTheSeed.Ebionite.com ), which taught the necessary of living the Consecrated Lifestyle that Jesus ordained (see The Spiritual Holistic Lifestyle http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheSpiritualHolisticLifestyle ).  Wherefore, Jesus warned: “And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?” (Mark 4:13).  Which confirms the statement in the Epistle of Peter to James with respect to the mind of "natural" man who is "...ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding”.  In contradistinction, those followers who had begun to full the Law as Jesus taught them, he said: “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 this indicates is that those who have not begun to embrace the original teachings and fulfill the Law as Jesus taught, will remain blind to the spiritual meaning of the Gospels -- i.e., "...ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding”.

The Folly Of Original Sin: When rightly understood, the Roman Empire was not converted to the religion of Jesus -- but rather, the personage and image of Jesus was converted to a quasi form of Mithraism -- and it is easy to prove and demonstrate that even the name Christian which was rejected by the original followers of Jesus, is drawn directly from Mithraism.  Therefore, the foundational framework of the modern Church is based upon the teachings of the Iranian prophet Mani, and not at all based upon the teachings of the Gospels.   And in total opposition to the Manichaean and Mithraic dogma of the doctrine of Original Sin, when rightly understood from a Gospel perspective, what is personified as Original Sin would more accurately portrayed as Original Opportunity (see Original Sin And Spiritual Osmosis http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#OriginalSin ).   Which provokes the question: If the modern Christian is faithful to the Original Sin teachings of the Iranian prophet Mani, while rejecting the Original Opportunity teachings of the Gospels, can they even make claim to believe in the teachings of Jesus (see Spiritual Osmosis And The Narrow Gate http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#Osmosis )?  And the facts that are ignored by the vast number of Christians, can be proven by presenting relevant Gospel teachings that explain the doctrine of Original Opportunity.  Each of us is the prodigal son/daughter -- we are presently growing and evolving in this, the Far Country -- and your Heavenly Father wants you to be all that you can be -- to reach your full potential as your brother Jesus did. 

When the above Gospel facts are understood, they confirm the reality that the Kingdom of God is within us (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 if we use the scriptures for their intended purpose as the Key of Knowledge by turning them within our own mind, that the "narrow gate" will open unto us, and we will be able to consciously enter into the Edenic Kingdom which is our True-Source of Being (see The Narrow Gate And The Enigma Of The Law  http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#Intro ).  The original Ebionite Nazirene disciples and followers of Jesus were condemned as heretics -- portrayed as "too Jewish" to understand the meaning of the Gospel -- and they were “…rejected from one religion as apostates, and from the other as heretics” (Gibbon: Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, v.1, p.416).     Thus, the primary purpose of the Gospels has been condemned as The Ebionite Heresy http://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com#TheEbioniteHeresy .  And while there appears on the surface to be many similarities between Mithraism and the Gospel account of Jesus, these similarities are based upon the allegorical symbols that portray the Universal Cosmology of Mind that is not at all understood by the body of faith-based believers. This is a fact: If you are a modern Christian, then the most basic and fundamental tenets of belief that you hold as truth, not only has nothing in common with the positions of the people who Jesus personally taught -- but if a believer that Jesus personally taught came to visit a modern Church, they would be labeled a heretic. Therefore the question must be posed: Was the man Jesus an incompetent teacher who was unable to clarify what is necessary for salvation? Or, was the original teachings of Jesus changed and corrupted?

It must be noted that what is known as the doctrine of Original Sin did not exist in Judaism, or pre-Nicene Christianity -- and was imported into the Church by Augustine who was a Manichaean before his forced conversion into Christianity -- and when rightly understood, it can best be portrayed as The Original Sin Of The Church http://CausalFactor.Nazirene.org#OriginalSinOfTheChurch .     What was the source of the Roman Church's doctrine of Original Sin?  Quoting from T.W. Doane, Bible Myths and their Parallels in other Religions, 7th ed., 1910, p.194-5: "The Persians believed that they were tainted with original sin, owing to the fall of their first parents who were tempted by the evil one in the form of a serpent" [194:12].  Under the heading of Original Sin the Wikipedia states: "The doctrine of original sin began to emerge in the 3rd century but only became fully formed with the writings of Augustine of Hippo (354–430), who was the first author to use the phrase 'original sin' (Latin: peccatum originale).  Why did he convert?   It is important to note that Augustine's conversion came after the threat of death -- i.e., quoting the Wikipedia: "Augustine of Hippo (354–430) converted to Christianity from Manichaeism, in the year 387. This was shortly after the Roman Emperor Theodosius I had issued a decree of death for all Manichaean monks in 382 and shortly before he declared Christianity to be the only legitimate religion for the Roman Empire in 391."  

When the Church embraced the man-made doctrine of Martin Luther that a Christian inherits the promise of salvation based solely upon faith -- totally irrespective of their lifestyle and actions -- using Jesus as a one time sacrifice for their lives immersed in perpetual sin -- the Christian world became apostates to the Original Gospel teachings and the Kingdom.  The Flawed Doctrine Of Perpetual Redemption totally ignores the many statements by Paul where he warns: "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).   Why did Paul make such a statement?   Because the original Gospel teachings in their original form was a system of spiritual transformation -- a process that would evolve the mind of the seeker/disciple from their embryonic condition, to that of spiritual maturity and Wholeness -- and those who reject these teachings and fall back into the thinking and lifestyle of this world -- who willfully sin after coming to the knowledge of the Gospel message -- are not only unbelievers and apostates to the teachings of the Gospels, but in Paul's words these counterfeit believers crucify the Son of God afresh.  And, in total opposition to what is preached in the modern Churches, Paul warns that "...there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." 

There is of course the statement by Peter that confirms the foregoing by Paul -- i..e, "If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. 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. Of them the proverbs are true: A dog returns to its vomit, and, A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud" (2 Pet 2:20-22 NIV).  Where the modern Church promotes the doctrine that they are saved by Grace regardless of the manner in which they live their lives, Peter not only states that this doctrine is in grave error, but correctly states that: "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." Every Christian should ask themselves: How Can This Be???  How can those who have never known the teachings of Christ, be better off than those who having heard, and are complacent towards those teachings?

In the Revelation it is warned: "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth" (Rev 3:15-16 NKJ).  What works are being made reference to?  Someone who is cold to the Gospel, is an unbeliever -- while someone who is hot, is on fire as a true Disciple of TheWay. But someone who is lukewarm, is very clearly a member of the Church who is complacent, and fails to bring about the works of the spirit that is required to walk in TheWay.  Thus, Jesus warned: "And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more" (Luke 12:47-48 KJV). Thus, the modern Christian simply has no means to understand why and how the lukewarm believer will be beaten with the stripes of greater judgment, than the unbeliever. So what is the fate of those who "...did commit things worthy of stripes" -- but they shall clearly receive far less than those who knew the masters will, but did not properly prepare themselves? This is in opposition to everything that modern Christians believe.

It is virtually impossible for the modern Christian to answer any of the above questions, because they are missing many of the most important teachings that were removed by the later Church from the Gospels.  But in each of the above scriptural citings, the alleged (Christian) believer was dealt with more harshly than the unbeliever.  The Law of Grace can only be invoked when the person brings about change in their lives -- and a person who should know better, is dealt with more severely than the person who is not in a position to know better. Much I what I am presenting to you can be found on the website TheLie @ http://TheLie.org . Let me therefore quote a little more:

When Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders that the “…tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you” (Matt 21:31 RSV), such a statement simply has no place within the present day understanding of Christian doctrine.  Which provokes the questions: Did Jesus misspeak?   Was he wrong?  Or, are modern Christians lacking an important aspect of the Original Gospel teachings?   Because the modern believer is without a means to explain Jesus' words, most Bible commentaries simply ignore the implications of this passage of scripture.  One widely used commentary attempts to correct the text by changing the words to “instead of” -- which would then make the meaning doctrinally correct and read: “The tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God instead of you”.  But this is not what Jesus stated.  And this reality is further confirmed in the case of sinners and those who have been judged by the Law are portrayed as having been cast into a type of prison, Jesus stated: "Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny" (Matt 5:26 NKJ).

Modern Christianity Is The Vehicle Without Wheels: If you took the wheels off a car, you could still run the engine -- sit in it, listen to the radio, sleep in it, engage your sweetheart in it, and imagine you are going some place -- but without the wheels, you would remain stationary -- rendering the car incapable of fulfilling the very purpose the car was manufactured. In the same way that the wheels are necessary for the car to perform its purpose of traveling from one place to another, when you remove a key teaching from the Gospels, you render them incapable of completing the very purpose the Gospels were composed and written. In the same way that it is the wheels that enable a car to complete a journey -- and if you removed the wheels you would render the car virtually worthless with respect to completing the journey for which it was manufactured -- the journey of the Soul from the Alpha of Ignorance to the Omega of Enlightened Light is accomplished by the Soul living a multitude of lives wherein the Soul brings about the necessary Wholeness to manifest Completion and Perfection (see The Spiritual Castration Of The Gospels http://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com#SpiritualCastrationOfTheGospel ). 

My Brother Jesus taught: "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).   Before this verse can be understood we must first understand what it means to be Whole.   Which provokes the question: How is Wholeness achieved?   Contrary to the dogma of the modern Church, if Jesus is the savior who every person needs for salvation, then Jesus himself said the Church was wrong, and those who are Whole do not need him.  And as a physician, Jesus did not come for the salvation of those who are Whole, but only for those who are sick and in need of a physician.   And in total opposition to Church dogma, what this also means is that at the time the historical man Jesus walked the face of the earth, there existed people who he portrayed as "whole [and] righteous" who did not need Jesus the physician.  Jesus openly states that his mission as a spiritual physician is not for them, because they achieved the necessary Wholeness without him. 

Does everyone need Jesus as the modern Christian maintains?  While Jesus himself said that those who had achieved Wholeness did not need him as a spiritual physician -- i.e., They that are whole have no need of the physician..." -- and that with effort, all of mankind is capable of achieving a condition that Jesus portrayed as "whole [and] righteous", which means that these people who did achieve Wholeness, were not sick, and in Jesus' own words were not in need of him (Jesus) as a physician to heal them.   Which means that the whole foundation of modern Church dogma is man-made and in error. 

If this is true, the question must be asked: Was there any other early teachings that support this position of Jesus who came only to heal those who were sick and in need of a physician?  And this ultra-important teaching which is totally rejected by the Church, is further supported by a quotation of the Apostle Peter in the Homilies of his disciple Clement where Peter states: "For there would have been no need of Moses, or of the coming of Jesus, if of themselves they would have understood what is reasonable..."  And with respect to what is being portrayed as being reasonable to the degree that the person does not need either Moses of Jesus?  From an original Gospel perspective, the Apostle Peter is stating that those who seek to achieve Wholeness do not need either Moses or Jesus.  In total opposition to modern Church doctrine, Peter then added to the foregoing statement:  "Neither is there salvation in believing in teachers and calling them lords” (Clementine Homilies, Chap. 5, p139 Anti-Nicene Library).  Herein, what Peter is stating is that there is no salvation in merely calling upon the name of the Lord as Christians do today throughout their Churches -- but only in achieving Wholeness.   And when rightly understood, those who achieve Wholeness have brought this Condition about by doing the Will of God -- and having lived and manifest the Truth in their daily lives -- which Truth has been revealed to them directly from our Heavenly Father -- i.e., “My teaching is not My own, Jesus replied. It comes from Him who sent Me."  And then Jesus explained: "If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own" (John 7:16-17).   What this means is that ANYONE who sincerely desires to do the Will of God, will know the Truth, and will learn the Truth directly from God -- i.e., "It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God'" (John 6:45).  Therefore, in achieving the necessary Wholeness, they did not need Jesus as either a teacher, or for their salvation. 

Christians today feel confident that they have fulfilled the Gospel teachings by merely calling upon the name of Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.  They then call themselves Christians.  Yet, the most popular scripture used by the Gentile Christians in the pre-Nicene Church known as the Shepherd of Hermas, states differently where it is written:  “And the tower, I asked, what does it mean? This tower, he replied, is the Church. And these virgins, who are they? They are Holy Spirits, and men cannot otherwise be found in the kingdom of God unless these have put their clothing upon them: for if you receive the name only, and do not receive from them the clothing, they are of no advantage to you. For these virgins are the powers of the Son of God. If you bear His name but possess not His power, it will be in vain that you bear His name”.  The problem from a modern Christian perspective is seen in the fact that it is impossible to put on the clothing of the virgins (Holy Spirits), without first becoming Whole.  And therefore, “If you bear His name but possess not His power, it will be in vain that you bear His name”. Thus, if you call yourselves Christian, but fail to become Whole, “it will be in vain that you bear His name”.

The success of a physician is demonstrated in the physicians ability to heal the symptoms and disease of those who are sick.  In the case of spiritual sickness, to heal and alleviate the symptoms of the disease that has stricken the person, is to free them from the shackles of their sickness.  When Jesus portrayed those who were not sick as being "whole [and] righteous", what he stated was that mankind in his healed condition ceased to sin -- and that those who have achieved this condition of Wholeness, has brought about a condition of sinless living. 

What this demonstrates is that the vast majority of modern Christians are preaching a faux-doctrine when they portray belief in the man Jesus as being necessary for salvation.  If there were indeed people who had achieved Wholeness prior to the coming of Jesus, and therefore were not in need of a physician to heal them -- and they had achieved this Wholeness without Jesus -- and even prior to the advent of Jesus who came as a healer for those who were sick, it was noted that there would be people from every corner of the earth who would gain entrance into the Kingdom by achieving the necessary Wholeness -- i.e., "Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem. Lord, someone asked Him, will only a few people be saved? Jesus answered, Make every effort to enter through the narrow gate. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.  After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’" (Luke 13:22-27).  The version of the foregoing in Matthew reads: "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven" (Matt 7:21).  And what then is the "will of God"?  Thus, Jesus states:  "Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness’" (Matt 7:22-23).  What then is "lawlessness"?  Lawlessness must be understood as that mindset and actions that divides our Self and our Consciousness -- thereby inhibiting our ability to be, and achieve Wholeness.  And in the version in Luke the statement is added: "People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God" (Luke 13:29) -- and they will be able to enter into the "narrow gate" by virtue of their achieving the necessary Wholeness to gain entrance into the Inner Kingdom.   Christians today feel confident that they have fulfilled the Gospel teachings by merely calling upon the name of Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.  They then call themselves Christians, while ignoring the warning that  "...‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’"  And then there is the statement of Jesus: "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46 KJV).  And what did Jesus teach?  He taught the necessity of doing the Will of God, and becoming Whole. 

While the real Jesus is the Truth and TheWay, the man-made image of Jesus that you have been led to believe in, is a fraud and a hoax.  Jesus did not teach his followers that he was God -- but rather, he taught his followers to transform and purify the mind and the body -- come to TheCall to the Wedding (see http://TheCall.Nazirene.org ) -- and enter into a Coverture-Union with the Indwelling Logos/Son of God (see Coverture-Marriage - Was Jesus God? http://BrotherOfJesus.org#CovertureMarriage ).  And while the Truth is at your fingertips, few people are wiling to seek the Truth and travail in TheWay that the real Jesus taught.  Why?  It is much easier and convenient for them to cling to a lie that enables them to live and think in any manner that they choose, than to make the effort to seek and live in the Light of Truth.  Ignorance -- i.e., self-ignorance -- is the shackling force that enslaves the lost prodigal sons and daughters to lifetimes of complacent suffering.  The Original Gospel teachings of TheWay was not a dogmatic belief system whereby the prodigal sons and daughters remained under the control of what is personified as the "Citizen of the Far Country" -- but rather, the Original Gospel teachings when embraced, enables the divine offspring of our Heavenly Father to be consciously restored to the Edenic Kingdom of Enlightened Light. 

The book, James The Brother Of Jesus: The Key to Unlocking the Secrets of Early Christianity and the Dead Sea Scrolls, by Robert H. Eisenman (Author), was based upon actual historical investigations irrespective of Church dogma.  The Intro to the book on Amazon reads: James was a vegetarian, wore only linen clothing, bathed daily at dawn in cold water, and was a life-long Nazirite.  In this profound and provocative work of scholarly detection, eminent biblical scholar Robert Eisenman introduces a startling theory about the identity of James—the brother of Jesus, who was almost entirely marginalized in the New Testament.  Drawing on long-overlooked early Church texts and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Eisenman reveals in this groundbreaking exploration that James, not Peter, was the real successor to the movement we now call "Christianity." In an argument with enormous implications, Eisenman identifies Paul as deeply compromised by Roman contacts. James is presented as not simply the leader of Christianity of his day, but the popular Jewish leader of his time, whose death triggered the Uprising against Rome—a fact that creative rewriting of early Church documents has obscured.  Eisenman reveals that characters such as "Judas Iscariot" and "the Apostle James" did not exist as such. In delineating the deliberate falsifications in New Testament documents, Eisenman shows how—as James was written out—anti-Semitism was written in. By rescuing James from the oblivion into which he was cast, the final conclusion of James the Brother of Jesus is, in the words of The Jerusalem Post, "apocalyptic" —who and whatever James was, so was Jesus.

While Jacob, who they call James, was an an actual historical person who sought to free the people from the mystery religions such as Judaism, in view of the fact that the scriptures portray an allegorical Jesus who performed allegorical miracles that violate the Natural Laws, and are intended to be interpreted supernaturally within the mind of a an Essene/Ebionite seeking the Anointing and Enlightenment of their mind, it would be impossible for someone such as Robert Eisenman to find the actual historical man Jesus.  Why?  Because the Jesus who is allegorically portrayed in the Gospels, never really existed, because the symbolism portrays advanced and metaphysical realities of Mind and Consciousness that each follower of the teachings must become.   Further, in the scriptures the name Yeshua/Joshua/Jesus was used in order to portray a condition of mind that each person must achieve.   That is not to say that the man Jesus did not exist -- because he in fact did.  But the Rule of the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge, when a person, place or thing is presented in the text of the scriptures, what is personified is a symbol of Consciousness.  Nikola Tesla stated: "If you wish to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency and vibration" -- and the same is true with respect to the inner exploration of Mind and Consciousness (see The Scientific Revolution http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#ScientificRevolution ).  The Condition of mind that enables the person to see into -- and eventually enter into what is personified as the Kingdom of God (see The Law Of Jacob's Ladder And Mental Advancement http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#LawOFJacobsLadder ), is all controlled by the "frequency and vibration" of the person's own mind.   From an allegorical scriptural perspective, the personage of the man Jesus cannot be found in the historical documents, because in the allegorical scriptures, Jesus represents that condition of mind where the person achieves the necessary Wholeness of Mind and Being, and therefore is able to enter into what is personified as the Higher Spiritual Life -- i.e., "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).  When rightly understood, the words of Biblical Scholar Edmund Wilson who was an expert who worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls, portrayed the group of highly advanced Souls who had achieved the spiritual objectives of life when he wrote that  “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...” (see The Scrolls From The Dead Sea).  From a scriptural perspective, Jesus can therefore be representative of both a single person, as well as a community of spiritually advanced people who had achieved the condition of Wholeness of Mind and Being. 

In the words of the pre-Nicene third century Church Father Origen whose Soul also lived in the first century: “Scripture contains an unhistorical element in-woven with the history, in order that the worthlessness of the latter may drive us to seek the spiritual meaning” (Origen quoted under Origen Adamntius; The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics).  Why is the literal/historical account "worthless"?  Because belief does not bring about the necessary change in consciousness to bring about Wholeness.  Origen then further explains in De Principiis that: “Where the word found that things done according to the history could be adapted to these mystical senses, he made use of them concealing from the multitude the deeper meaning; but where in the narrative of the development of super-sensual things, there did not follow the performance of those certain events which were already indicated by the mystical meaning, the scripture interwove in the history the account of some event that did not take place, sometimes what could not have happened; sometimes what could but did not.”  And in the same way that in the allegorical scriptural account, Moses (the Law) could only take the Children of Israel to a certain point -- and they could only be led across the Jordan and into the Promised Land by that condition of mind portrayed as Joshua -- which we translate Jesus and in Hebrew is Yeshua -- unless a person achieves that level of spiritual development personified as Jesus/Joshua/Yeshua, they cannot be restored to the Edenic Kingdom.  And when understood in this scriptural (allegorical) manner, the usage of the name Jesus as being the only savior for all of mankind, is correct -- i.e., salvation is representative of Wholeness, which can rightly be portrayed in the name of Jesus/Joshua/Yeshua.   To the degree that all of mankind must achieve that level of developmental Spiritual-Wholeness that is embodied in the name Jesus, in order for the prodigal sons and daughters to be restored to the Edenic Kingdom.  And that the name Jesus is representative of a condition of achieved spirituality, is why Jesus is portrayed as the savior of all of mankind -- not as a condition of complacent belief of people who call themselves Christians -- but rather, what each person must embrace and evolve into -- which is why it was said: "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance". 

If you had an original copy of the Gospels which you used in the manner the scriptures are intended to be used as the Key of Knowledge, you could use them as a catalyst to achieve an Enlightened and Anointed State of Mind -- prevailing over self -- mentally and spiritually evolving to your full potential, and overcoming the division between you and your Heavenly Father -- a condition of Mind and Being that is portrayed and personified in the name Jesus/Joshua/Yeshua.  If you had an original copy of the Gospels and used them as the authors intended them to be used, at this moment as the prodigal son/daughter, you could have overcome your inherent human blindness (see Soul-Evolution - Reincarnation And Soul-Development http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#SoulEvolution ), and with your spiritual eyes, hearing and understanding restored and no longer subject to what is personified as the "outer darkness" of mind and being -- you could have entered in TheWay and returned to the Edenic Kingdom by achieving the necessary Wholeness of Mind and Being -- i.e.,  "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17).   

Basically, what Eisenman wrote, was drawn from all the early writing which were suppressed by the Church -- that the Gospels are allegorical spiritual texts that were used by those on the Inward Spiritual Path of Developmental-Wholeness.  BUT, when these scriptures were given into the hands of the Gentiles who were not accustomed to using scriptures to bring about spiritual advancement, they interpreted the Sacred Writings literally/historical, and in typical pagan fashion they worshiped Jesus as if he were a single man that a person must believe in.  When the Gospel account of Jesus warned the prospective believer that "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" (Luke 9:23), they interpreted this as believing in an historical event (see The Cross You Must Bear To Your Own Crucifixion  http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#TheCross  ).   And while Jacob who they call James was an historical person who sought to free the people from the mystery religion known as Judaism, the name Yeshua/Joshua/Jesus was used in order to portray the "vibration and frequency" of mind for the person to enter the Kingdom (see The Law Of Jacob's Ladder And Mental Advancement http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#LawOFJacobsLadder ). Basically, what Eisenman wrote was drawn from all the early writing which were suppressed by the Church. The Gospels are allegorical spiritual texts that were used by those on the Inward Spiritual Path.  In view of the fact that the scriptures are not historical accounts -- what they allegorically portray did not always take place physically -- but the events did take place within the body, mind and spirit of the core followers of the Gospel teachings. That a group of gentiles who were not accustomed to using scriptures, misinterpreted the Gospels, and attempted to portray allegorical attributes of mind as actual historical events, does not at all negate the authenticity of the scriptures -- which were never intended to be interpreted outwardly and historically. 

In that Life my Soul authored the primary Gospel in Hebrew Characters. Quoting from: Intro To Original Gospel By Brother Of Jesus http://BrotherOfJesus.org#Introduction In the article The Original Gospel ( http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com ), I prove with supporting facts that the Gospel emerged out of the foundation of the Essenes. I know this for a provable fact, because in that life my Soul lived as Jacob who they call James, the Brother of Yeshua who they call Jesus, and in that life I authored the Original Core Gospel that was written in Biblical Hebrew Characters (see The Original Spiritual Language Of The Gospels http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com#OriginalLanguage ). Why were the Original Gospels composed in Biblical Hebrew Characters? Because this was and is a Living Language that can invoke a true and genuine spiritual intercession in the life of the sincere seeker -- which cannot be brought about in either the Masoretic Text used by the Jews, or the Greek, Latin or Aramaic languages used by the Gentiles. When St. Jerome made reference to the original version of the Gospel written in Hebrew Characters, he noted that is was intended to "...be possessed by the men most religious", meaning those who had emerged out of the Essenes, because it was too "secret" to be given into the hands of the Gentile believers. In that life, myself, my brother Jesus, as well as John the Baptist and other core disciples of the New Covenant movement, all emerged out of the Essenes (healers; spiritual physicians). And as spiritual healers and physicians, we assisted seekers to overcome their inherent human blindness -- thereby restoring the memory of the lost prodigal sons and daughters (see Spiritual Amnesia ). And we did this by assisting sincere seekers in their quest to achieve Wholeness -- i.e., "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:17). The Jews were portrayed as blind guides -- i.e., "Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch" (Matt 15:14) -- and they were blind because they lacked the necessary Wholeness to see beyond the shadow-images of the Outer Darkness of the organic human condition that plagues all of mankind who have yet to evolve beyond the developmental stages of mental and spiritual immaturity. And like the Pharisees who Jesus condemned as blind guides -- i.e., "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to" (Matt 23:13), the modern Church has embraced the doctrines of spiritually disenfranchised carnal men. But in man's quest for truth, the most important question is to understand why Jesus condemned the leaders of the Jews as blind-guide hypocrites? Because the objective of the scriptures was to cure the condition of inherent human blindness, and enable seekers to enter the Inner Kingdom (see The Fatal Error Of The Church) -- and in their failure to use the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge that unlocks the Inner Narrow Gate that provides entrance into the Kingdom, both the Jews and the modern Christian clergy are blind guides: "They are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch" (Matt 15:14). That those who fail to become Whole, and first enter the Inner Kingdom themselves -- and thus, remain blind guides, is why the Gospel account of Jesus states: "How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye" (Matt 7:4-5).

 James/Jesus - Brothers Of The Same Mother And Father: The Soul who lived as Jacob who they call James, the Brother of Yeshua who they call Jesus, had the same parents.  The virgin birth was an allegorical portrayal of a non-physical spiritual birth that each prodigal son/daughter must bring about, in order to be restored to the Edenic Kingdom.  It was the living of the necessary Consecrated Life that Jesus ordained, and the seeking of the Kingdom within, that enabled the historical man Jesus to become of an Anointed Mind (Messiah/Christ), and attain an At-Onement with the Divine Mind of God -- often portrayed as the  Indwelling Logos/Word/Son of God -- a path and teachings that the modern Church totally rejects based upon the doctrine of faith apart from one's actions which was instituted by Martin Luther (see The Ignorance of Martin Luther and The Satanic Detriment to the Church https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2022/11/the-ignorance-of-martin-luther-and.html ).

That Jesus was a true holy-man who's mind became Anointed and achieved a condition of At-One with the Divine Mind of God, is especially demonstrated in the words of Edward Gibbon with respect to the original position of the Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus who he personally taught -- that he (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).   Thus, in confirmation the Encyclopedia Britannica writes: "Most of the features of Ebionite doctrine were anticipated in the teachings of the earlier Qumran sect, as revealed in the Dead Sea Scrolls. They believed in one God  ..They rejected the Virgin Birth of Jesus, instead holding that he was the natural son of Joseph and Mary. The Ebionites believed Jesus became the Messiah because he obeyed the Jewish Law. They themselves faithfully followed the Law, although they removed what they regarded as interpolations in order to uphold their teachings, which included vegetarianism, holy poverty, ritual ablutions, and the rejection of animal sacrifices. The Ebionites also held Jerusalem in great veneration." That the historical man Jesus was a pattern for all of mankind because of his success in overcoming and fulfilling the Law of God within his own mind and being, is demonstrated in the words of Hippolytus when he documented the teachings and witness of the Ebionites: "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..." And this confirms this statement with respect to the true potential of all of mankind that Jesus taught, as demonstrated in the words of Hippolytus when he wrote that this body of original core followers and disciple believed that when anyone "...thus fulfill the law, they are able to become Christs" (Hippolytus, Refut. Omn. Haer. vii. 34 - see http://Ebionite.com ).  Thus, Jesus taught his disciples to fulfill the Law and become Anointed as explored at Jesus Taught To Become The Christ http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#BecomeTheChrist .  Which means that what Jesus accomplished, is in fact the eventual destiny of all of mankind who are portrayed as the lost prodigal sons and daughters of their Heavenly Father. And this is why Jesus taught that he was our brother -- i.e., "Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God'" (John 20:17 NIV). 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.

The Resurrection Into The Kingdom Must Be Brought About While You are Still In The Physical Body: What is known as the Two Ways, represents those who walk the outward path vs those who walk the inward "narrow path" -- i.e., "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matt 7:13-14).  The choice with respect to the Two Ways, was and is embraced in the present -- and to enter through the "narrow gate", requires rapid mental and spiritual advancement that brings about transformational growth and development.  When the inner path of the "narrow gate" is actively embraced, the sincere seeker is able to transform their physical body and mind into the required Living Consecrated Temple.    Which enables them to Enter into the Holy of Holies -- which means that they are seeking to enter In The House with the Lord. 

When the Gospels are used as the Key of Knowledge ( http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ), and turned within the person's own mind to make the inward journey to the Core of that person's Source of Consciousness, they are able to receive the Resurrection out of the ignorance and death of this world, while still in the physical body-vessel.  The Gospels were never written to be misinterpreted and used outwardly in the broad-way of self-destruction. And yes, Jesus and his original followers all achieved the spiritual resurrection that was allegorically portrayed in the Gospels -- i.e., "Then Jesus said to them, Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God arrive with power" (Mark 9:1).  It is these few who properly used the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge, who succeeded in opening the inner "narrow gate" to the Kingdom -- i.e., "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it".   Which provokes the question: When must each person's resurrection from the dead of this world take place?  The Gospel of Philip states: "Those who say that first they shall die and (then) they shall arise are confused. If they do not first receive the resurrection (while) they live, they will not receive anything (when) they die."  That the foregoing is meaningless to the people of this world, is because they confuse the spiritual meaning and reality of life and death.  From a Gospel perspective, mankind is correctly portrayed as the walking dead -- i.e., “Another disciple said to him, Lord, first let me go and bury my father. But Jesus told him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead” (Matt 8:21-22). And in view of the fact that the scriptures have no meaning to the majority of people -- and are often misinterpreted --  it can be asserted that the vast majority of people have been correctly portrayed as the walking dead over the course of all the lives their Soul has ever lived. And when spiritually understood, the dilemma has been portrayed in the Gospel of Philip in the words: "A Gentile does not die, for he has never lived in order that he may die. He who has believed in the truth has found life, and this one is in danger of dying, for he is alive." What is the allegorical meaning of a Gentile?  It is a person whose thinking, mindset and lifestyle is founded upon the thinking, consciousness and cultures of this world.  A Jew, on the other hand, allegorically portrays a person who has received the Law of God, but interprets the Law outwardly in ritual and tradition.  In contradistinction, Spiritual Israel portrays a person who seeks the necessary Wholeness that enables them to experience the Resurrection and are therefore restored to the Edenic Kingdom within them.   Which means that any sincere seeker can achieve the necessary Wholeness of Self to be portrayed as Israel -- and the concept of the Spiritual Resurrection is totally meaningless to the vast majority of people who portray themselves as Christian. 

  In The House: To his disciples who were portrayed as being In The House with the Lord, Jesus said: “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).   In the Gospels we encounter two groups of people who exist at greatly differing levels of consciousness and understanding -- i.e., those who are portrayed as being "without" who were taught exclusively in the enigma of parables, and the few who are said to be "In The House".   With respect to the reality of those who are portrayed in the Gospels as being "without", in contradistinction to those who are said to be In The House, the quotation of the early Church Father Origen represents an excellent portrayal of the reality of mind and being that is presented in these words of Jesus -- wherein, Origen writes in reply to the allegations of philosopher Celsus that the Church is a secret system: “I have not yet spoken of the observances of all that is written in the gospel, each one of which contains much doctrine difficult to be understood, not merely by the multitude, but even by certain of the more intelligent, including a very profound explanation of the parables, which Jesus delivered to 'those without' while reserving the exhibition of their full meaning for those who have passed beyond the stage of exoteric teachings, and who came to him privately in the house. And when he comes to understand it, he will admire the reason why some are said to be without, and others in the house”. 

To be "In The House" with the Lord, you must have begun to fulfill the Law within your Mind and Being as Jesus taught (see Spiritual Meaning And Fulfillment Of The Law http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#SpiritualMeaningOfTheLaw ) -- and it is the fulfillment of the Law within the person, that enables them to receive and understand the Mysteries of God as they begin to enter through the "narrow gate" to gain entrance into the Inner Kingdom (see Spiritual Osmosis And The Narrow Gate http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#Osmosis  ).  Which means that those who enter into the House, have begun to fulfill the Law of God as Jesus taught them (see The Law Of The Gospels http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com  ).  What is known as the Two Ways, represents the abandonment of the outward cultures of this world -- totally departing from the thinking, mindset and lifestyle of this world -- and begin to walk the inward "narrow path" as personified in the words: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matt 7:13-14). When the Gospels are used as the Key of Knowledge ( http://KeyOfKnowledge.org  ), and turned within the person's own mind, they are able to receive the resurrection out of the ignorance and death of this world. They were never written to be misinterpreted outwardly in the broad-way of self-destruction. And yes, Jesus and his original followers all achieved the spiritual resurrection that was allegorically portrayed in the Gospels.

As a prodigal son or daughter, you have been invited to come to TheCall -- and with your memory restored (see Spiritual Amnesia ), return to your Heavenly Father/Mother in the Edenic Kingdom which is your true Home and Source of Being.  Your elder brother Jesus said: "And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven" (Matt 23:9).  Why?  Because God is your Father in the same exact way that God is the Father of your brother Jesus -- i.e., "Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God'" (John 20:17).  In the same way that the Soul of Jesus pre-existed his life in the first century, so too has your own Soul.  That you don't remember the lives your Soul has lived, is because you have been stricken  with Spiritual Amnesia.  In reality, those who you have called mother and father on earth, are your surrogate parents who were appointed to care for you during your present earthy sojourn in this, the Far Country.    That you were born blind (see Born Blind) -- and in your amnesic condition, you fail to remember when you dwelt in the Edenic Kingdom with your Heavenly Father and Mother -- is because you squandered away your divine inheritance on "riotous living", and you must begin the journey Home on your own accord by travailing in TheWay. 

To return Home, you must receive the Spiritual Baptism -- not the ritual baptism of the Church of this world.  You must put on the required "wedding garment".  If you have not, then you are dwelling in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being -- in a state of spiritual death -- unable to recall when you dwelt in the Edenic Kingdom.  And Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:60) -- and this invitation into the Kingdom was made so that the believer was able to enter the Kingdom while still alive in the physical body.  In fact, if you fail to utilize the Key of Knowledge ( http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ), and gain entrance into the Kingdom while still alive in the physical body, you will not be able to enter into Life in an after-death state. 

When Jesus portrays those who are not travailing in TheWay as being dead, he pointed out that the vast majority of people who follow the "blind guides" of this world, are immersed in the blindness of the prodigal sons and daughters who have permitted themselves to dwell under the domain of the Citizen of this, the Far Country.  Are you a brother or a sister of Jesus?   "While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds..., Someone told Him, 'Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.' But Jesus replied, 'Who is My mother, and who are My brothers? For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother'”  (Matt 12:46-50).   Unless you have put on the required wedding garment and become healed in the Living Word and become Whole while still in the physical body, it will be impossible for you to be restored to Life as a brother or sister of Jesus -- and lacking the necessary Wholeness, it will remain impossible for you to receive the Promise of the Gospel and enter into Life.  What does this mean?  While you will not cease to exist, you will neither reincarnate as the Eastern religions believe, nor enter into the Kingdom as the Western religions believe, because without travailing in TheWay as Jesus taught, you cannot become Manifest in the Kingdom (see The Evolving Soul http://TreeOfLife.Nazirene.org#TheEvolvingSoul ).

Do you want to be lied to?   That is not only the question set before you this day, but you will be confronted by this question when you arrive in the hereafter when your present cycle of life is completed.   Why?  Why will every person be confronted with this question when their present cycle of life has been completed?  Because it is within every person's ability to know the Truth of all Truths -- if they made the effort to seek the Truth.   Which means that if what you believe is not the Truth -- or, at best, is little more than a fragment of the truth -- then what you believe will define your life -- perhaps forever. 

Throughout the history of mankind, those who knew the Truth were condemned as heretics.   Often hunted down, tortured and slain.  In view of the fact that history perpetually repeats itself, if you are a follower of my Brother Jesus, and I convey to you the Truth, it is almost guaranteed that you will consider me an enemy of the faith -- and this conclusion will be a grave assumption on your part.  Why?  It's not that the historical man Jesus was not the Truth -- or that he did not teach the Truth -- because it is True that Jesus was the embodiment of the Truth and TheWay.   But what Jesus taught, is not at all what is being preached from the pulpits of our Churches today.

Luke 10:1 reads: "After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go."   In the same way that Jesus sent forth those who were appointed to go before him, Jesus also sent forth his faithful disciples across time to assist them to bring about the End Times, and guide sincere seekers over the past 2000 years into the Inner Kingdom.  Why was it necessary for Jesus to send forth guides across the spectrum of Time?  Because the Church would be lead astray -- as documented in a letter to Pope Leo X on September 6th, 1520, where Martin Luther wrote of the Christianity of his day, that the church, “…once the holiest of all, has become the most licentious den of thieves, the most shameless of all brothels, the kingdom of sin, death, and hell. It is so bad that even Antichrist himself, if he should come, could think of nothing to add to its wickedness” (Quoted in: The Great Thoughts; compiled by George Seldes).   Yet, as predicted by the Apostle Paul, the AntiChrist not only ruled the Church since the fourth century (see Church of the AntiChrist) -- but as Paul predicted, the AntiChrist sat on the thrown of the Church and was worshiped as God.   And with regard to Paul's assertion that these things would come to pass, the Adam Clark Commentary writes of this passage of Paul's Epistle: “[Except there come a falling away first] We have the original word apostasia in our word apostasy; and by this term we understand a dereliction of the essential principles of religious truth, either a total abandonment of Christianity itself, or such a corruption of its doctrines as renders the whole system completely inefficient to salvation. But what this apostasy means is a question which has not yet, and perhaps never will be, answered to general satisfaction” (from the Adam Clarke Commentary).   Martin Luther and the Protestant reformers who did not understand the original teachings and objectives of TheWay -- and thus, could not comprehend the reality of the warning that what was left of the Gospel teachings was "...a dereliction of the essential principles of religious truth, either a total abandonment of Christianity itself, or such a corruption of its doctrines as renders the whole system completely inefficient to salvation" -- and in many respects they further alienated the Christian Community from the original objectives of a Spiritual Religion -- the tenets of which they did not at all understand.   

Matthew 8:21-22 states: "Another of His disciples requested, Lord, first let me go and bury my father. But Jesus told him, Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”  How can the dead bury the dead?  In the same way that it is stated in the Genesis 2: 16-17 that if the fruit of the Tree of Duality is eaten, that the result will be death -- i.e., "And the LORD God commanded him: You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die” -- and that the prodigal son is portrayed as being dead: "For this son of mine was dead and is alive again" (Luke 15:24) -- the death that is portrayed is a condition and state of mind.  Which means that the people of this world who are portrayed as the lost prodigal sons and daughters, are in death -- and they are being led by leaders and clergy who are themselves dead in the biblical sense of the word. 

As a servant sent to make TheCall (see TheCall To The Wedding Banquette http://TheCall.Nazirene.org ), but for you as the prodigal son/daughter to begin to be returned to Life, and  fulfill the statement: "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) -- you must embrace the Original Gospels Teachings as set forth at http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com .  You can't enter into the Kingdom by following the man-made dogma of those religious leaders that are themselves in death.     

Which provokes the question: Do you want to be confronted by the Truth while you are in a position to seek knowledge and higher truth and make change to your life in accord with that Truth?  Or do you want to wait till it is too late to make change, and you are stuck with the results?
