Can you understand the (spiritual) meaning of the Gospels?  While you may think you can, it is important to understand why Jesus is portrayed as not being able to speak plainly to the people when he was teaching them about the Kingdom.  They asked him why he only spoke to the people in the enigma parables that could be interpreted in many ways -- 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" (Mark 4:33).  Unless you understand why Jesus only taught in parables?  And why each person heard a different teaching -- i.e. "as they were able to hear"?   Then you have not yet achieved the ability to hear with Wholeness.   Yet, Jesus could only speak and teach his original (Ebionite) followers, as he explained to his disciples:  “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).  And it must also be noted that those who Jesus was able to speak to in Wholeness, were condemned as heretics by the later gentile Church which portrayed itself as Orthodox (see Censorship Of The Truth And The Facts http://TheLawOfTheGospels.com#Censorship ). 

What Jesus stated was that only a very small select few were able to receive and understand the most important teachings and concepts known to mankind that Jesus taught.  Which provokes the most important question that few people are in any manner prepared to understand:  Why could Jesus convey the mysteries of the kingdom ONLY to a very select few, and that he was unable to convey the higher truths to the multitudes who came to hear him teach?   Jesus makes reference to the prophecy of Isaiah and states: "‘When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend. For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them’" (Matt 13:14-15).  It is important to recognize that the reason the people could not hear or understand,  was caused by their own deafness and inability to understand the teachings and concepts presented to them.  Even to the degree that their condition of mind inhibited them from turning about, so they could be healed.  Thus, in order to understand the meaning of the teachings of Jesus, it required them to make change in their lives -- for them to un-harden their hearts, and enable their eyes to see and their ears to hear the Higher Spiritual Truths which their organic mind could not receive and comprehend. 

Jesus taught that every event in the life of mankind has a Causal-Factor within the Natural Laws that brought that event about.  From a biblical perspective, this all-pervading fact of life is demonstrated in Jesus' own words when he said: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will” (Matt 10:29 RSV). If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground apart from the Will of God, then we have no other option than to come to terms with the biblical fact that everything in this life is directly orchestrated by God?  Including the inability of those people who have yet to "turn about", who can't understand both the scriptures and life with the necessary  intellectual Wholeness of Mind.   Which means that because of the Causal-Factors imposed upon mankind by what Jesus taught was the Laws of God, those of whom it is stated that "...seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand”, that their blindness and inability to comprehend was in fact pre-ordained by God.  And what is not at all understood today, was that Jesus taught his original followers how to fulfill and overcome the Natural Laws that inhibited their ability to comprehend man's higher Soul and Spiritual Realities. 

When the original (Ebionite) followers of Jesus attempting to explain to many of the gentile converts about the Natural Laws and Causal-Factors that Jesus taught about, they were unable to understand these important teachings and concepts -- i.e., the human condition portrayed in the prophecy of Isaiah that "‘When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend".          

 

Where the vast majority of people imagine that the events each person experiences in their life is by chance, accident, luck of the draw, good fortune, fate, or any other unknown factor -- without understanding that all the events, and even the very life each person is presently living, has an initiating Causal-Factors designed to bring about a certain objective -- then you are dwelling under the cloud of self-ignorance.  And unless you begin to understand the Causal-Factors of the events in your life, you will fail to make any serious gains in accord with the reason you are presently experiencing the very life you are living. 

Those few who are able to comprehend man's higher soul and spiritual reality, understand that all events and realities of life have a Causal-Factor.  When the reason or the Causal-Factor for the people's inability to comprehend the meaning of the Gospels is rightly understood, it remains true even to this very day when Christians open their Bibles to read the scriptures which they cannot comprehend the spiritual meaning of.   Further, the Causal-Factor and the answer to the intellectual dilemma is the same as to why Paul could not speak plainly to the baptized Christians who he portrayed as having received the "testimony about Christ [which] was confirmed in"  them (1 Cor 1:4-) -- and yet Paul warned them: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.  I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal" (1 Cor 3:1-3).  Why was Paul unable to speak plainly, and convey  the spiritual concepts and meaning of the Gospel to the baptized and committed Christians who had received the testimony of Christ [which was] confirmed in them"?  He explained to them that as humans of an organic (natural) consciousness, they could not receive and comprehend the spiritual meaning of the Gospels and the higher Spiritual Kingdom -- i.e., “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14).  Why would the mind of organic man reject the higher spiritual wisdom as "foolishness"?  Why would confirmed and baptized Christians reject the spiritual meaning of the Gospel and man's higher spiritual reality as "foolishness" -- therein, rejecting the higher truth of the Spirit? 

To answer these questions, it is important to understand the meaning of the word that Paul used which is translated the "natural" mind.  What is the Natural Mind of mankind that is incapable of comprehending higher spiritual concepts?  The Greek meaning portrays the natural organic mind of man as being at an animal level of consciousness -- as demonstrated where the Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary writes with respect to the meaning of the word "natural" in the original Greek language: "natural man—literally, 'a man of animal soul'."  Which means that even though the people were baptized Christians who the "...testimony about Christ was confirmed in", were still mentally functioning in accord with their lower animal consciousness and mindset.  And this fact of life is further explained in the Treasury Of Scriptural Knowledge where it is revealed that this profound statement at 1 Cor 2:14 reads (quoting Paul): "'But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.'  Then the Commentary provides the interpretative-meaning of Paul's words with respect to the reality of what is portrayed by Paul as the natural man:. [Psuchikos,] the animal man, one who lives in a natural state, and under the influence of his animal passions; for [psuche] means the inferior and sensual part of man, in opposition to the [nous] understanding, or [pneuma,] the spirit".  And this is not only true -- but is is a fact of life that all spiritually developed and enlightened souls must deal with when interacting with organic man.   Which is exactly why Paul profoundly stated to the very people who he had personally taught the Gospel message: "And I, brethren, ...fed you with milk and not with solid food"  Stating to the body of confirmed and baptized believers who he acknowledged had received all truth and knowledge pertaining to the elementary "traditions" of Christ: “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14). 

Why did Jesus refuse to speak plainly to the people?  “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 did it mean to be "without"?  Why were some people portrayed as being "without"?  The answer is, because they were "lawless" -- i.e., "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 7:21-23).  

 

 

 

 

 

The New International Version interprets the statement at Matthew 13:52 with respect to The Law: “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”   The same verse in the English Standard Version reads: “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.”  Why is a "teacher or scribe of the Law" portrayed as a "disciple who has been trained for the Kingdom" -- and is therefore portrayed as a "master of a house"?  If you do not understand why only a "teacher or scribe of the Law" could understand the spiritual meaning of the parables that were incomprehensible to the multitude of people who came to hear Jesus teach, then you cannot understand the prediction with respect to why the Law causes the people to be blind and ignorant of the Truth -- i.e., "In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving" (Matt 13:14).  If this inherent blindness could be predicted, then the blindness was a matter of the Law that was instituted by Creator-God.  Yet, those who are portrayed as a "...scribe of the Law who has been trained for the Kingdom",  are the few who could receive and understand the spiritual meaning of the parables -- 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).  Unless you understand why The Law blinded those who are portrayed as being "without", and why only those who were in The House could receive and understand the spiritual meaning of the parables, then the Gospels portray you as  "...seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand”.

In the Homilies of Clement who was the disciple of Peter, Jesus is quoted as stating: “We remember that our Lord and teacher, as commanding, said to us, guard the mysteries for me, and the sons of my house. Wherefore also he explained to his disciples, privately, the mysteries of the kingdoms of the heavens.”   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”. 

What is the relationship of being "trained in the Law", and being In The House with the Lord?  While most Christians ignore and reject the Law -- claiming that Jesus did away with the Law -- that is not what Jesus himself said: "For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matt 5:18-20).  The scribes and the Pharisees embraced the Law, and yet Jesus portrayed them as the "spawn of the devil" (see The Devil's Spawn http://DevilSpawn.Ebionite.com  ).  So how could Jesus require each of his followers to fulfill the Law better than the Jews -- and when we consider that The Gospel of the Nazirenes (http://GospelOfTheNazirenes.org ) preserves the original meaning where it is written with respect to the Law: "They who believe and obey will save their souls, and they who don't obey will lose them. For I say to you, That except your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees you will not enter the kingdom of heaven."

In reply to the above and their rejection of The Law -- claiming that salvation is by faith and grace, and not by the Law --  most modern day Christians point to is John 3:16 which reads: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. -- but is there a requirement for belief?  Lets look at the whole statement:  "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God" (John 3:16-21). 

What does the Church state?  The doctrine that was promoted by Martin Luther and the modern Church reads: "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".   If you tell a modern

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", 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”.

 

 

 

Why did those who came to be taught by him "...not understand”?

When you emerged from your mother's womb, you began the Metaphysical Journey into Higher Life.  And in reality, when you emerged from your mother's womb, you entered what can best be portrayed as the Womb of Mother-Earth that would supply you with the nourishment to develop your mind and enable you to achieve the next stage of what can be portrayed as Mental-Birth. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are guessing everything but the correct answer which is found in the statement: "Jesus said ...But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty". Each of us has an Eternal Soul that has existed since the Dawn of Creation, and has evolved level upon level over the course of many lives in the manner that we are presently living -- as acknowledged by the pre-Nicene Church at The Pre-Nicene Position Of The Church On Reincarnation https://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-pre-nicene-position-of-church-on.html

Jesus also taught that the Kingdom of God is within us -- and the purpose of the Gospel teachings, was to enable man with the ability to tap into and learn directly from our Source of Mind and Being. By ignoring the man-made dogma of the Church which was fabricated by a series of Roman Emperors, I embraced the core Gospel teachings and learned hot to tap into my Inner Source -- wherein I was taught the Mysteries of Life that is beyond the understanding of organic (carnal) man. Thus, by embracing the core Gospel teachings, my mind became Anointed and Enlightened to man's Higher Soul-Reality.

That mankind dwells in what can rightly be portrayed as abject self-ignorance and intellectual poverty, is because he has adhered to the religion of Roman Emperors, and the disenfranchised science of Darwinism. When man emerges from his mother's womb, he enters the Womb of Mother-Earth, and begins his/her Metaphysical Journey of Higher Development. Yet, he listens to, and adheres to an anti-Metaphysical religion and science that inhibits all Metaphysical development. You lack the ability to understand, because you were programmed into what to believe and think -- and were denied the opportunity to develop your higher attributes of Mind that would enable you to perceive and understand the higher Spiritual Realities of Life. You already have all the answers to the life you are living, if you fulfill the adage to Know Thyself.

 

I agree with you totally. didn't my post begin with the words: Constitutional Right -- Freedom From Church and Un-Church. And I explained why spiritual people need to live separate and apart from the mass of carnal-thinking and bound people of this world. Among your rights is the right to kill yourself -- both slowly, and by any other means. Which means that neither church or state has the right to impose their thinking and lifestyle upon anyone else.

When a sperm and ovum merged into ONE, they are in fact Married. When a man and woman merge into ONE, that is Marriage on the next level. If you understand the Natural Laws as set forth at The Real Facts Of Life You Were Never Told About http://TheRealFactsOfLife.Ebionite.com -- when man and woman come together, that is the process of achieving the next stage of Mental-Birth if they enter into what can be portrayed as a Coverture-Marriage Union (see The Foundation Of A Coverture-Marriage http://BrotherOfJesus.org#FoundationOfCovertureMarriage ). With respect to this Higher Spiritual (Marriage) Union, Jesus taught: "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" -- see The Real Facts Of Life You Were Never Told About http://TheRealFactsOfLife.Ebionite.com

The problem is that not every man or woman is prepared and evolved enough to enter into a true Coverture-Marriage. Yet, by virtue of their duality, they are for the most part forced by Nature to engage into some sort of sexual release. Therefore, they often engage in various forms of mutual masturbation. And while men and woman have the absolute right to masturbate and release their sexual energy in any manner of their choosing, masturbation is not the same as in a genuine Spiritually Consecrated Marriage-Union.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

Unlawful To Reveal The Truth: Paul stated:  I was "...caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter" (2 Cor 12:4-5).  How can Paul state to other Christians that it was "unlawful" to reveal to other Christians what he experienced in the Kingdom?  In his Epistle to the Trallaus the first century elder Ignatius speaks of the Mysteries of the Gospel and the Kingdom, and writes: “Might I not write to you things more full of mystery?  But I fear to do so, lest I should inflict injury on you who are babes.  Pardon me in this respect, lest, as not being able to receive their weighty import, ye should be strangled by them”. 

To the Ephesians Paul asks for them to pray for him, saying: "And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak" (see Eph 6:19-20).   What is the meaning of the word "mystery"?   Thayer's Lexicon states that it is a "hidden thing, secret, mystery... confided only to the initiated and not to ordinary mortals.  A hidden or secret thing, not obvious to the understanding.  Of God: The secret counsels which govern God in dealing with the righteous, which are hidden from ungodly and wicked men... in rabinic writings, it denotes the mystic or hidden sense of an Old Testament saying..."

What Paul is stating is that spiritual knowledge (Manna/Gnosis) belongs only to those who are themselves spiritual -- as  detailed and explored at The Eyes Only See At The Level Of Comprehension http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#TheEyesOnlySee ).   Why?   Not because anyone desires to conceal this esoteric knowledge -- but rather, the organic facilities of mind associated with the limitations of the physical body, are simply incapable of perceiving man's own higher reality of soul and spirit as tested by The Law Of Octaves (see The Narrow Gate And The Enigma Of The Law Of Octaves http://TheLawOfOctaves.com#Intro ).   Paul therefore portrays himself as an ambassador who has been sent to speak to the people -- and that because they are yet too immature and carnal to understand the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom, he cannot speak openly as to both the true spiritual meaning of the Gospel, or his true knowledge of the Gospel.   Thus, Paul stated to the baptized believers that he himself had instructed: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.  I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal" (1 Cor 3:1-3).   And that the Christian was to overcome the limitations of their carnal minset and nature -- enabling them to expand and evolve the mind and the transformation of their physical being into a state of spiritual maturity -- with the objective of the Gospel message as demonstrated in the commandment of Paul: "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature..." (Col 3:5) -- "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires" (Gal 5:24).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Eye sees only what the Mind is prepared to Comprehend.  The scriptures are intentionally composed so that man's normal Linear spheres of mind cannot understand the meaning.  In fact, from a Literal/Historical perspective, countless accounts in the scriptures are incomprehensible which, from a logical and rational perspective, are intentionally inserted into the body of the text.  Further, all the inconsistencies, rational absurdities, countless discordances and apparent historical errors, were intentionally inserted into the scriptures so that the readers outward-looking Linear spheres of mind will reject the literal/historical interpretation.   Why?  Because the scriptures are designed to develop the Intuitive spheres of mind -- which, when properly embraced, enables the seeker to employ the process of Anamnesis, which is the key to developing the mind beyond organic human limitations -- thereby enabling them to tap into the inner Higher Source of Truth and Knowledge that is beyond the limited understanding of man's "natural" organic mindset and consciousness.   And when the reader attempts to interpret the scriptures from a Linear/Historical perspective -- and/or an interpretation drawn from a Bible study group, a commentary or a teacher -- will inhibit the person's mental development -- thereby rendering them spiritually stagnant and impotent.  The Linear/Historical interpretation of the scriptures is not only always in error from the perspective of the original authors, but it inhibits the necessary development of mind beyond man's organic "natural" level of human consciousness -- and it is this deepening and expansion of mind beyond organic human levels, that is one of the primary objective of the scriptures and the spiritual path.  

Because they fail to understand what can be portrayed as the Cosmology of Mind and Being, the vast majority of religious, philosophical or academic learning environments are based upon the Linear instruction of the individual student or seeker.   And because they erroneously believe that the mind of an infant is empty -- and therefore attempt to teach the child/person in the traditional way of academic instruction -- they inhibit the development of mind beyond a certain level that can be portrayed as "natural" organic human consciousness.   In contradistinction, the scriptures are based upon the reality that the mind of an infant and individual is not empty, and when the Intuitive spheres of mind are developed, the person is able to tap into a higher Source of Truth and Knowledge that is beyond the comprehension of "natural" organic human consciousness.  Further, the adage to Know Thyself, is based upon the paradigm that the human mind is embryonic when compared to each person's Higher True-Self that cannot fully manifest without the transformational process of deepening and expanding the mind beyond organic human levels of comprehension.   And to bring about this transformational expansion of the mind, the Intuitive spheres of mind must be developed and balanced within the Whole of Self -- and only when this Wholeness of Mind is achieved, can the transformational process of expansion and deepening be brought about to manifest an Enlightened State of Mind and Being. 

To bring about the necessary Wholeness that develops the lesser mind of man beyond organic human consciousness, the authors of the scriptures inserted allegorical symbols that act as catalysts that connect the embryonic mind of the person with the Higher Source of Truth and Knowledge that exists at the Core of our Mind and Being.  But for these allegorical catalysts to function, the person must understand (1) how to use the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge by turning them within their own mind and being; that the scriptures cannot be interpreted from a Linear/Historical perspective; and the person must understand that only with the development of the Intuitive spheres of mind can the true spiritual meaning of the scriptures be revealed.  

 

Gospel objective is to evolve mankind who is personified as the lost prodigal son or daughter, to a level of Spiritual Maturity that enables them to return to the Edenic Kingdom which they journeyed out of in the Alpha of Creation.

While the Laws of Creation will evolve a person to a condition of Spiritual Maturity, in the development of mind freewill and choice are an essential element in the process of mental and spiritual development. 

What is essential is the formation of the person's mind on a foundational paradigm that permits growth and development.  

 

It is easily proven that The Original Gospel Teachings Have Virtually Nothing In Common With Church Dogma.   What is known as the proverbial Jacob's Ladder is portrayed in the Gospel Of the Nazirenes where it states: "God gives you all truth, as a ladder with many steps, for the salvation and perfection of the soul, and the truth which seems today, you will abandon for the higher truth tomorrow. Press toward perfection."

In the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas it is written: (12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being."   So to once again restore the teachings of TheWay which is today known as Christianity, the Lord has sent Jacob/James, the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus, back into the world in order to guide the faithful flock into the Truth, the Light, and the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21).   It is there that my brother Yeshua/Jesus awaits you.

The above warning with respect to the predicted corruption of Yeshua's teachings is further stated in the first century writings known today as the Clementine Recognitions where it is written: "Our Lord and Prophet, who hath sent us, declared to us that the wicked one, having disputed with Him forty days, and having prevailed nothing against Him, promised that he would send apostles from amongst his subjects, to deceive.  Wherefore, above all, remember to shun apostle or teacher or prophet who does not first accurately compare his preaching with that of James, who was called the brother of my Lord, and to whom was entrusted to administer the church of the Hebrews in Jerusalem, — and that even though he come to you with witnesses: lest the wickedness which disputed forty days with the Lord, and prevailed nothing, should afterwards, like lightning falling from heaven upon the earth, send a preacher to your injury, as now he has sent Simon upon us, preaching, under pretense of the truth, in the name of the Lord, and sowing error. Wherefore He who hath sent us, said, ‘Many shall come to me in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them.’" 

Again it is warned by Clement: "Wherefore observe the greatest caution, that you believe no teacher, unless he bring from Jerusalem the testimonial of James the Lord’s brother, or of whosoever may come after him. For no one, unless he has gone up thither, and there has been approved as a fit and faithful teacher for preaching the word of Christ, — unless, I say, he brings a testimonial thence, is by any means to be received. But let neither prophet nor apostle be looked for by you at this time, besides us. For there is one true Prophet, whose words we twelve apostles preach"

As predicted, the ministers of Satan have succeeded in altering the teachings of my brother Yeshua, and continue to lead many into the abyss of darkness.   But have no fear my brothers and sisters, for the teachings of TheWay has been restored so that you might be able to overcome the darkness, and enter the Kingdom of Light within you (Luke 17:20-21).

The Brother Of Yeshua/Jesus: 2000 years ago I lived as Jacob who many call James, and I was known as the Brother of Yeshua and the first leader of the New Covenant movement of TheWay which is today known as Christianity.  I was sent back into the world to restore the teachings of my brother Yeshua to their original spiritual essence, and to guide you in TheWay that is "narrow" so you will be able to open the "strait gate" within you and enter the Kingdom that Yeshua declared must be attained through the second birth.  
 

The Ebionite HomePage: If you call yourself a Christian, Jew, Messianic believer, Evyonim, Nazarene or Muslim, then it is imperative that you learn of the Ebionites who are True Spiritual Israel -- They are the Poor Ones to the ways and thinking of this world -- The Ebionites were the Israelites of the Nazirene Vow They are/were the Genuine Disciples of Yeshua/Jesus who are in the world and not of it!   
 

The Nazirene HomePage: The original spiritual teachings of Yeshua/Jesus as practiced by the people of The Way who where known historically as the Essenes, Ebionites, and Nazirenes. The teachings of The Way are Spiritual -- and provide a means to open the "strait gate" into the Kingdom while still physically alive in the body/vessel.  
 

The Master Index:  The Index of Nazirene Ebionite web sites and the Original Teachings of TheWay  
 

Original Gospel Sacraments: The Sacraments that are practiced and observed in the Christian Churches today have very little in common with the Original Sacraments instituted by Jesus.   Without putting on the required Wedding Garment, and being nourished by the Eucharist of the Divine Manna that can only be imparted to the seeker/disciple by and in the direct Spiritual Presence of the Son of God while in the Kingdom, the believer will continue to dwell in what Jesus portrayed as the Far Country and Outer Darkness of Mind and Being -- unable to comprehend the Higher Mysteries of the Kingdom -- and unable to attain the subsequent stage of Birth that enables the seeker/disciple to gain entrance into the Kingdom, and inherit the Promise of Entering into Life.  
 

Know Thyself: Jesus declared in the Gospel of Thomas: "...But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty".   It is for this reason that the second-century Church Father Clement of Alexandria said that it is  “…the greatest of all lessons to know one's self.  For if one knows himself, he will know God; and knowing God, he will be made like God… and that man becomes God, since God so wills”.   When God, in the words of St. Nazianzen, no longer is an “object of wonder”, but rather an “object of desire” -- and we, desiring to be purified from the defilements of this world, make ourselves fit vessels for the Lord to indwell, the Spirit, according to St. Nazianzen, reveals to us our true nature, and the revelation of this manifest Sacred Knowledge makes “us like God; so that when we have thus become like Himself, God may, to use a bold expression, hold converse with us as Gods, being united to us, and that perhaps to the same extent as He already knows those who are known to Him”.  St. Nazianzen then writes that “the Divine Nature then is boundless and hard to understand” by those who are yet carnal and think as natural beings of this world.    
 

The Ten Words:  That restores the teachings of Jesus and TheWay to their original spiritual environment.  
 

An Inconvenient Truth: One of the most important articles that have been written and exist in our present time -- in spite of those who attempt to censor and inhibit the modern seeker from having access to the Truth and TheWay.   Written by an Original Author of the Gospels, this article reveals what modern authorities will at any cost, censor and suppress.   Why?   Because as counterfeit shepherds, they are carnal and totally earth-bound in their thinking.   Being carnal and spiritually disenfranchised, they don't at all understand -- or possess the knowledge of -- the Great Spiritual Truths revealed in this article.   
 

Reincarnation, The Key To Christianity: The only eyewitness account written by an Elder in the original Ebionite Community portraying the Death of Christianity -- The Religion of Jesus and the Original Teachings of TheWay.   Because the Emperor of Rome hunted down and murdered the Original Spiritual Christians and all those who opposed the corruption of the teachings of Jesus and TheWay, the Christian world itself has been cast into a Spiritual Diaspora from which it has yet to emerge.  
 

The Church Of The AntiChrist: The Apostle Paul predicted that the Church which portrays itself as Christian, will install the Anti-Christ as the leader of the Church, and the Christian world will worship Satan in place of God.   While the Christian world dwells under the deceptive belief that they freed themselves from the paganism of Rome in the Reformation, the leaders of the Reformation did not at all understand the reality of a purely Spiritual Religion where the objective was to be be in the world and not of it -- using the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge to gain entrance into the Kingdom while still in the body-vessel -- in many respects the reactionary dogma contrived by Martin Luther and the other leaders of the Reformation had the effect of further imprisoning the Church in the abyss of abject carnal ignorance.   
 

The Bible itself openly rejects and condemns the tenets of belief promoted by the Church.   What is demonstrated is the fact that the vast majority of Christians neither understand the Bible -- and those who do read it, do so through the filter of their dogma and beliefs.   re are 10 words that were altered from their original context in the New Testament that have the power to re-establish the essence of the teachings of Yeshua which was known as TheWay.   These 10 words demonstrate conclusively that the text of the New Testament has been altered and corrupted in order to make it support the doctrines of the Pagan Roman/Greek world.   These 10 words further demonstrate that the essence of the teachings of Yeshua has little in common with the Christian religion today.   In fact, these 10 wordsare to Christianity what the 10 Commandments were to Judaism -- i.e., the foundation from which every other aspect of the religion springs forth! These 10 words prove the Ebionites correct, and modern Christianity which is founded upon 4th century Roman doctrines to be in error.  These 10 words prove that without a return to the essence of Yeshua's original teachings, modern Christians are neither saved, nor do they have the salvation they erroneously believe they do.   
 

The Consecrated Life is the Path that leads to Wholeness -- and this Wholeness can only be brought about when the teachings of Yeshua/Jesus and TheWay becomes a mindset and lifestyle that develops the person and brings them to Completion.   In the parable of the prodigal son, the experiences in what is portrayed as the Far Country develops the son -- enables him to prevail and to rule over himself -- and it is this state of Completion within himself that permits him to return to the Edenic Kingdom of the Father.   Each and every person is presently evolving to this state of Completion and Wholeness in the Omega of Perfection, that will permit them to return to their True Source of Being.  
 

The Key Of Knowledge: When Jesus condemned the leaders of the Jews as blind guides, it was because they threw away the Key Of Knowledge.   In the fourth century of our Common Era, the Church of Rome in like manner threw away the Key Of Knowledge -- causing the Christian world to become lost and wandering in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of Mind and Being.    
 

The Light Of Yeshua -- The Messianic Nazirene Disciple of TheWay: While many teach that believers are saved by faith, the journey of the disciple of Yeshua is one of absolute dedication to The Way. The disciple who becomes a brother to Yeshua must live as he lived, and become a Nazirene who is consecrated and wholly set apart as they walk the Narrow Way, enter into the Kingdom through the Strait Gate, and learn directly from the L-rd -- the One Rabbi and Teacher of the Mysteries of G-d.  
 

Divine Strategery: How God Fools Mankind - Keeping Him Ignorant Of The Truth: Strategery has become synonymous with when what is portrayed as simple, simpleminded, or even self-evident, is able to dupe and thwart an opposing force that perceives itself to be either superior, or to suppose they know the answers.   Divine Strategery is how God fools all the religious leaders of this world who think they doctrinally know God -- all the would-be teachers and philosophers of this world who think they Know Truth -- all the Atheists and those who criticize and denounce the existence of God by virtue of their limited perception and understanding -- and all the people in this world who think they understand the purpose of life and the world in which we presently dwell.  As prodigal sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, if the people in this life knew the answers, then the learning experience of God's SchoolHouse of this world would not effectively evolve us to become true Brothers and Sisters of our Elder Brother Yeshua/Jesus.  Therefore, in order to insure that each of us is immersed in the necessary learning experience that this life offers, all people are equally fooled into thinking they know, in order for them to be manipulated into embracing a higher agenda that is beyond their ability to even imagine.   Thus, Divine Strategery!!!

 		  
 

Reincarnation - The Key To Christianity And The The Pre-Existent Soul of Mankind: Jesus taught the reality of the pre-existent soul that evolves to perfection over the course of many lifetimes. The Church adheres to the doctrine and theology of a Circus Prostitute and a Roman Emperor who maintained absolute control over what Christians were permitted to believe! Christians continue to cling to the theology of this Circus Prostitute today - rejecting the teachings of Jesus, while adhering to the doctrines of Pagan Rome. The mass confusion of an uncountable number of sects today, is the direct result of the void which was brought about when this foundational concept was removed from both the Bible, as well as Christian doctrine. The doctrinal quagmire which was brought about with the removal of this foundational teaching, obstructs Christians growth and maturity beyond the entry-level simple faith. Because they adhere to the corrupted doctrines of men, modern Christians can't inherit the Biblical Promise of entering the Kingdom and Life.

 
 

It was said of the Church Father Origen by St. Gregory of Nyssa that he was “the prince of Christian learning in the Third Century” -- and the Encyclopedia Britannica calls him “…the most prominent of all the church fathers”.  But how did he become the man that St. Jerome considered to be “the greatest teacher of the Church after the Apostles”?   According to the soul who lived as Origen, he had previously lived as the disciple and scribe of Jacob who people call James, who was the Brother of Jesus.   And from that life with Jacob, he learned to write scriptures in Hebrew Characters, and he worked on the original source scriptures which has since come to be called the New Testament scriptures of the Bible.   On his web site, Emmanuel Pohorecki reveals not only the accounts of the many lifetimes that he has lived, but also his own journey into the presence of his soul-self -- i.e., his true self who is the Being of Light.   And once again Emmanuel has demonstrated that you don't need to physically die to communicate with, and enter into the presence of your soul-self who is the Being of Light in the Near Death Experience.   And in his soon to be completed article on the Journey of the Soul and Visions from his Higher Self, he will write about what his soul-self has taught him while in the Realm of Souls.   Emmanuel provides other important insights in man's higher reality with his account of his life with Fr. Francis, as a Native American, and as one of the Constitutional Founding Fathers of the United States.  
 

The Long Island Mystic and Nazirene Disciple of TheWay: The Organizational HomePage of The Nazirene -- the Long Island Mystic, Evangelical Minister, and Prophet of TheWay -- who God bestowed upon him the gift of the recall of his previous life as a Disciple and Brother of Messiah/Christ -- and thus has re-entered this world at the present time in order to restore the Spiritual Essence and Teachings of his Master, Yeshua/Jesus. The Kingdom is within! And we must sojourn the narrow path of TheWay, enter the "strait gate" to the Inner Spiritual Temple, while still alive in the physical body.  Thus, modern Christians have misunderstood the words of Yeshua -- he never said that we must physically die to enter the Edenic Kingdom of Origination -- but rather, we must die to the culture, mindset and ways of this world in order to enter the Kingdom!   
 

Being Of Light: Who are we?  What are we? From where have we come?  What is our destiny?  To the demise of those who read these words, only a handful of people today can answer these all-important crucial questions correctly! The rest dwell under the cloud of unknowing -- and if you think you are the person whose reflection you see in the mirror, then you are a stranger to your true self and have made yourself part of the illusion of this world. With great wisdom Yeshua/Jesus is quoted in The Books of the Savior, also known as Pistis Sophia (Faith-Wisdom): "Do not cease seeking day or night, and do not let yourselves relax until you have found all the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Light, which will purify you and make you into Pure Light and lead you into the Kingdom of Light."  
 

Gospel of the Nazirenes -- Gospel Of Light: What did the Gospels look like before being edited and re-written by the Church of Rome? What were the original beliefs of the first followers of Yeshua? You will be astonished when you read a surviving text of The Gospel of the Nazirenes which was hidden away from the corrupters of the Roman Church. Are you ready for a truly enlightening experience?  
 

The Orthodox Corruption of the Scriptures: Was the Bible rewritten? Prof. Nestle writes: "Learned men, so called Correctores were, following the church meeting at Nicea 325 AD, selected by the church authorities to scrutinize the sacred texts and rewrite them in order to correct their meaning in accordance with the views which the church had just sanctioned." To ignore the facts is to alienate oneself from the Living Word of God  
 

The Suppressed Teachings On Children: "And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them, and said, Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Mat 18: 2-3).  Because the important teachings on children were removed from the Gospels, it remains virtually impossible for the modern believer to gain entrance into the Inner Kingdom  
 

What Happened To Zackarias? Because the mainstream of Christians can't even begin to answer the question as to what happened to Zackarias?  It remains impossible for them to understand the true reality of the scriptures -- or why the religion of the pre-Nicene Church Fathers was very different than the dogma preached from the pulpits today.   And while the missing account of Zackarias can be easily proven today, the fact that the modern Christians ignores the facts and the truth has had the effect of disenfranchising them from the Kingdom they have been commanded to seek out.  
 

Things Christians Never Tell Jews About The New Testament: Many Jews have been misinformed when they have been warned by Christians that if they don't believe and come to Jesus, they will not inherit salvation and eternal life. Part of this is an error of ignorance -- i.e., because their Christian forefathers were adulterous, and defiled their own covenant with the Lord in the manner of the Jews when they worshiped other gods, they have yet to recover from their spiritual temple being plundered and ravished by the unclean and dark forces of this world. They therefore have lost their own way, and no longer can come into the Presence of the Lord. The Facts: Both Christians and the Jews they have persecuted, condemned, and even murdered over the past two thousand years will be shocked by what they will read herein! What they will learn is a fact that has long confused many sincere students of the New Testament scriptures -- scriptures which are very Jewish in origin -- and because of their very mystical Jewish essence, has long confounded the non-Jews who have championed the Gospel message. To their own undoing, most Christians ignore their own theologians and biblical scholars who have attempted to warn them that the scriptures are paradoxical -- i.e., that in all theological positions there exists two lines of seemingly opposite and conflicting truths presented to the reader -- and those who accept one truth while ignoring the other, will themselves fall into heresy by falling into grave sectarian error with respect to the true meaning of the Gospel message. Thus, those who maintain that there is no salvation apart from belief in the historical Jesus in the manner of modern Christian doctrine, have themselves fallen into the trap of heresy that the very first followers of Jesus warned believers not to fall into! And while it is true that these sectarian vicars of the Church can prove their position by using the scriptures, it is further true that their own scriptures also contain another line of truth that presents an entirely different picture than what the Church has portrayed to the world -- a picture where the opposite is also true.  
 

The Sower And The Seed: Unless you become the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower And The Seed, it will remain impossible for you to comprehend the true spiritual meaning of the Gospel and the higher reality of the soul and the Kingdom of God.  
 

The Secret Doctrine Of Christianity: In the approximate year of 178 of our Common Era, Celsus, the Epicurean Philosopher and opponent of Christianity published a rather embarrassing work in opposition to Christianity known as The True Word or Discourse. It is said that this work was widely published and used by the Pagan world as an attack on the Church. In examination of this document, the modern Christian must initially ask: Who today would accuse the Christian Church of being a “secret system”? No one -- because the Church today has lost its spiritual essence -- and is a mere shadow of its former self over the first three centuries of its existence. Therefore, it is important for us to recognize that such an allegation would be unheard of in our present time.  
 

The Enigma Of The Shepherd Of Hermas: Even though it is said of the Shepherd of Hermas that it was "...the most popular books, if not the most popular book, in the Christian Church during the second, third, and fourth centuries...", it remains unknown to the modern Church. Why? Why was the book that is representative of the core Gospel of the earliest Church, no longer is use today? Because while Hermas reflected the original teachings of Jesus and TheWay, it would be deemed heresy by the modern Church. And when rightly understood, the fact of the matter is that it is impossible for the modern believer, critic, biblical expert or scholar to in any manner understand the message that Hermas bears. Which means that if the Shepherd of Hermas was indeed the most popular scripture in the Gentile Church over the first three centuries, then it can rightly be stated that the modern Church has virtually nothing in common with the pre-Nicene Gentile Church.  
 

Divine Manna:  "To him who overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna" (Rev 2:8-17).  "My People Are Destroyed For Lack Of Knowledge Because You Have Rejected Knowledge, I Reject You..." (Hosea 4:6).   "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).  "Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit" (1 Thes 4:8 NIV)  
 

Gospel Of Thomas:  These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.  And he said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death."  Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."  
 

The Gate Of Eden: Why were the Nazirene/Ebionites vegetarian?  Why did they live in accordance with the precepts of the Torah/Law?  Why did they live separate and apart from both Jews and Christians?  The answer is very simple: The Gate of Eden is within us, and if we fail to enter therein while we are still physically alive in the body, we will have failed in our opportunity to enter into Life.  And while it can be countered that we are saved by our belief in Messiah/Christ, faith, or the blood of the lamb, the truth is that if we were truly faithful disciples of TheWay, that we would experience the opening of the inner door and the Kingdom coming within us.  The GateOfEden article explores all aspects of the need to pick up one's own cross and follow the narrow path that leads to the inner gate to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination.  
 

What was the Mysteries of the Gospel that Jesus revealed only to the inner core of disciples?   While teaching the multitude of the people only in parables?    "And the disciples came and said to Him, Why do You speak to them in parables? He answered and said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given" (Matt 13:10-11 NKJ).   As someone who was there, at the time, what is presented in this article is not only far beyond the understanding of any book that you could read, or teacher you could seek out.   what is presented in this article will force you to re-evaluate everything that you thought you knew about both yourself, and the very purpose of life as you think you understand it.   And even more revealing than the three major lies of Judaism, Christianity and Islam that inhibits the people from understanding the foundational essence of all three religions, is an examination of both the lies and profound truths of the emerging scientific world which is for the most part ignored by our cultural icons, because the findings of modern quantum physics confirms the visionary truths of the Mystics which the religious and intellectual worlds have long censored from the common understanding.   
 

Epistle Of Light - Epistle Of James To Pope John Paul II: 2000 years ago I lived as Jacob the brother of Jesus known as James. I was sent back to bring about the restoration of the Church, and the within letter to Pope John Paul is important for you to read and forward. The pope has the power to bring peace on earth if he releases certain early Christian documents that are in his possession. Jesus is calling out to you to help make the truth known! Will you hear the call?  
 

Light Of Yeshua: The Essence of Messianic Judaism and being Spiritually Torah Observant.  Many Messianic Jews attempt to embrace traditional Christian doctrine with a Jewish facade in an attempt to convert other Jews to a quasi-form of Jewish-Christianity with a Pagan foundation. In view of the fact that the original followers of Yeshua are historically described as “…rejected from one religion as apostates, and from the other as heretics” (Gibbon: Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, v.1, p.416), this conversion to Jewish-Christianity would be a grave error.  
 

The Cross And The Seat Belt: The only mean by which mankind can move beyond his present limitations and struggles with the unknown, is to gain access to the Source of what he observes and interacts with in the world which is in what the mystic and scientist affirm as being the (Ætheric) Field that surrounds all matter that we observe with our physical senses.   But to accomplish this, man must develop ways to effectively use his suppressed Intuitive spheres of mind.   Which means that to even begin to tap into the unseen Source, we must move beyond our traditional behaviors, mindset and perception of reality, and begin to embrace untraditional ways that permit the development and use of our suppressed Intuitive facilities of mind.   If what man presently portrays as accidents, can indeed be perceived prior to the event taking place -- and thus, be avoided -- then we will have eliminated the massive suffering and even death that is the result of these episodes of human existence.   And therefore, if the witness of both the Mystic and the emerging scientific evidence is true -- and reality must he sought in the unseen (Ætheric) Field as the Source of all events that transpire -- then it becomes imperative for man to begin to develop and evolve those Intuitive spheres of mind that has been abandoned and left atrophied by the linear-only elements of our modern culture.  
 

How Did Jesus Become The Son Of God It is a widely accepted doctrine among Christians today that the disciples and Ebionite Nazirene followers did not comprehend the true nature of Jesus, because they did not proclaim that he was God -- as did the later Gentile converts.   Yet, just the opposite is true -- i.e., the vast majority of Romans and Greeks were too pagan and heathen in their thinking and mindset, to understand the higher spiritual concepts that Jesus and his disciples revealed to mankind.   Even today the problem remains with respect to our inability to understand why Jesus was different than we are. Because Christians cling to the doctrines of Rome, they are unable to answer many important foundational questions that would permit their thinking to evolve beyond what Paul portrayed as the entry-level doctrines of the simple faith that are elementary in their understanding. And while Paul warns that the "natural" (organic) mind of man is incapable of understanding the higher reality of the soul and the Inner Kingdom  -- warning that committed and baptized believers will reject the Mysteries of God as utter "foolishness" -- yet, the modern Church to their own destruction continues to ignore this all-important warning. What enabled Jesus to perform miracles? What enabled him to be able to communicate with the Father? Surely, we conclude, he could not have been a normal man. Therefore, we arrive at the only possible answer from our very limited perspective and conclude that the Jewish disciples and earliest followers of Jesus must have been wrong, and he had to have been God to know all that he knew, and be able to do all that he did. Thus, the flaw in the thinking of the Church is in their inability to envision and comprehend the manner in which mankind grows and evolves to a state of spiritual maturity -- how man, the prodigal son, who was created in the image and likeness of God, his Heavenly Father, begins to take on all the attributes of his Creator and Parent. In not understanding the process by which each of us embraces our eventual destiny, we worship instead of imitating the pattern that Yeshua/Jesus provided for all the prodigal sons and daughters of the Most High to follow.  
 

Lilith - The Demonic Reality Of Feminism: In the Divine Pattern of Creation man and woman are not only equal, but the mental/spiritual level of one polarity directly affects and limits the other.  The spiritual ignorance of many religious groups today is directly in proportion to the failure of men and women to interact and move into a state of spiritual harmony and balance.
