Christian Apostasy And Rejection Of The Kingdom

Christians claim to rely upon the New Testament -- and yet, it is the very scriptures they champion that rejects their doctrines of belief as being turned out of TheWay. The following is in reply to a Christians condemnation of someone who in the Ebionite Nazirene forums used the name Eternal Seeker -- and the Christian bases his allegations on the belief that Eternal Seeker is in error -- because from his perspective, Christians have found Jesus -- and belief is all that is required. So from his very limited reasoning, the Christian proclaims: What is there to seek? You simply believe, and that is the end of it. The fact that a man would call himself the Eternal Seeker, proves to him that such a man is lost and of Satan. Yet, the Bible states that just the opposite is true -- and it is in fact this very mindset that keeps Christians spiritually ignorant, and destroys even their opportunity to become a Disciple of Yeshua and TheWay. Speaking of the false shepherds, Peter writes: "These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity-- for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him" (2 Pet 2:17-19 NIV).

The "...people who are just escaping from those who live in error", are those who are trying to escape the clutches of the culture of this world, by becoming "babes in Christ". And yet, what Peter is stating is the fact that the very octrines of the false shepherds, are conveying to these entry-level believers that they have found freedom, when in fact they have only just begun their walk in TheWay. The depravity that Peter speaks of is in fact a parallel to the warning in the Epistle of James that "faith without works is dead" -- i.e., without the works of the spirit, "...they themselves are slaves of depravity -- for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him". We must ask: Why would the counterfeit clergy-shepherds promise the people "freedom" in the Gospel and the Good News -- and yet, Peter warns that they "...themselves are slaves of depravity"??? Because these shepherds of the simple faith do not understand the words that Yeshua said to the man who he had healed: "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14 KJV). Having themselves never been "WHOLE" -- or even remotely understand the reality of Wholeness -- the shepherds of the simple faith attempt to use Jesus as a sacrifice to live in a state of perpetual sin. And thus, these blind guides are not only disenfranchised from the very spiritual essence of the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay, but they have themselves never experienced Wholeness -- or even understand the reality that is conveyed in these words.

Perhaps the key to understanding the false shepherds of the Church is found in the words: "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt 5:17-20 NKJ). Thus, while Yeshua and his Ebionite ( http://Ebionite.com ) disciples condemned the rituals and traditions of the Pharisees, they openly acknowledged the Royal Law that remains completely in effect and binding upon all people's of the earth.

Peter's next statement is not only in direct opposition -- and runs contrary to what is preached in the Churches today -- but should literally haunt every person who calls themselves a Christian believer: "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 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??? Christians promote the doctrine that only those who believe can be saved -- and here Peter is stating the opposite is true, and that those people who claim to believe, may be worse off after they have come to believe, than before they began to believe. The shepherds and blind guides that Peter is making reference to, are those who preach the modern doctrine of perpetual sin that is promoted in churches today -- i.e., "This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature..." (2 Peter 2:10 NIV). Because these false shepherds fail to understand the reality of what Yeshua meant when he used the terms Whole, and Complete, they preach the "...promise [of] freedom [in their doctrine of salvation by faith and grace alone], while they themselves are slaves of depravity"

In what can only be in total opposition to what Christians today believe, Peter states that it would have been better for the entry-level believers to have never heard of the Gospel, than to have heard, and then fall prey to the false shepherds who promise freedom but blindly lead the believers into the proverbial ditch. And there is simply no means for the modern Christian who believes the doctrines of the Church, to even begin to understand what Peter is making reference to. Why? Because what is preached in the Churches today, has relatively little in common with what Yeshua actually taught. And in truth, modern Christian doctrine is founded upon the religious principles of Pagan Rome (see The Christian Judas), than what Yeshua actually taught. How can this be? A person will ask? Quite contrary to modern Christian doctrine where all believers are saved, it is very clearly demonstrated in the scriptures that believers who do not live in accordance with the Commandments of the Lord will be punished more severely than the non-believer. This truth is demonstrated in the words: “That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” (Luke 12:47-48 NIV). What Jesus is stating to us is that believer’s who do not fulfill the Commandments, will be punished more than those who do not know the will of God.

Proof of the above -- and proof that when Paul was speaking of faith, he was not speaking of a faith that permits the believer to continue to sin after embracing the Gospel -- is confirmed in the words in the Epistle to the Hebrews where it is warned that if a believer sins willfully after becoming a believer, that they have crucified the Christ afresh, and no sacrifice (Jesus/Grace) can have any effect on their destiny of judgment as an apostate to the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay: "For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.. For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." (Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV).

Thus, while the Christian counterfeit clergy "...promise them freedom" in their idolatry of using Yeshua/Jesus as a license to continue to sin, in total agreement with Paul, Peter warns that the the believers who continue to sin "...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" -- which is also expressed in the words: "...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." And this reality that the people of the Church fail to comprehend, is further confirmed in Paul's letter to the Corinthians: "Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep" (1 Cor 11:27-30 NKJ).

What is the source of the modern day Christian Apostasy? In many respects the doctrines which were born under the umbrella of Protestantism, were in fact reaction doctrines to the corruption of the Church of Rome. By embracing the doctrine of faith regardless of actions which was instituted by Martin Luther, the Christians have totally failed to maintain the necessary biblical standards which are required. And while Christians are critical of the thinking and lifestyle of others, Christians continue to promote the doctrines of Martin Luther -- a Roman priest who failed to understand the doctrine of Divine Providence, and promoted a life of sin as evidence of faith. Luther rejected over half of the New Testament -- and in total opposition to the teachings of Yeshua, Martin Luther actually promoted sin as proof of salvation. In Luther's own words: "Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides... No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day." ('Let Your Sins Be Strong, from 'The Wittenberg Project;' 'The Wartburg Segment', translated by Erika Flores, from Dr. Martin Luther's Saemmtliche Schriften, Letter No. 99, 1 Aug. 1521.) Luther believed that man is a congenital sinner because of the Original Sin of Adam and Eve, and that only those who God saves, will receive salvation. This void in Christian thinking which seduced both Luther and Calvin to embrace the doctrine of Original Sin and Divine Providence, was the result of the corruption of the scriptures (see http://BibleCorruption.com ) -- and was directly caused by the removal of the doctrine of the Journey of the soul over the course of many lifetimes ( http://Ebionite.com/reincarnation.htm ). And only when this fact is understood, can the above words be understood that a complacent believer is worse off, than someone who has never at all believed the Gospel message. And thus, Christians today remain ignorant of this face, because the teachings on the journey of the soul was condemned by a circus prostitute who gained political power ( http://ChristianReincarnation.org ), and the Church no longer has the doctrinal means to understand why some people are created vessels of honor, while others are created vessels of dishonor (Rom 9:21-22). Thus, because of the corruption of the scriptures, modern Christians totally lack an understanding of the words of the Church Father Origen: “For God the Creator makes a certain vessel unto honor, and other vessels to dishonor; but that vessel which has cleansed itself from all impurity He makes a vessel unto honor, while that which has stained itself with the filth of vice He makes a vessel unto dishonor. The conclusion from which, accordingly, is this, that the cause of each one's actions is a pre-existing one; and then every one, according to his deserts, is made by God either a vessel unto honor or dishonor. Therefore every individual vessel has furnished to its Creator out of itself the causes and occasions of its being formed by Him to be either a vessel unto honor or one unto dishonor. And if the assertion appear correct, as it certainly is, and in harmony with all piety, that it is due to previous causes that every vessel be prepared by God either to honor or to dishonor, it does not appear absurd that, in discussing remoter causes in the same order, and in the same method, we should come to the same conclusion respecting the nature of souls, and (believe) that this was the reason why Jacob was beloved before he was born into this world, and Esau hated, while he still was contained in the womb of his mother”.

The only means for a person to have "...cleansed [themselves] from all impurity" is to seek to live a pious and Consecrated Life in TheWay that Yeshua/Jesus taught and ordained. Yet, Luther went as far as to state that those who attempt to live a pious life, have themselves rejected Christ: "Those pious souls who do good to gain the Kingdom of Heaven not only will never succeed, but they must even be reckoned among the impious; and it is more important to guard them against good works than against sin." (Wittenberg, VI, 160, quoted by O'Hare, in 'The Facts About Luther, TAN Books, 1987, p. 122.). Like Calvin, Luther did not understand the doctrine of Divine Providence because key teachings had been removed from the scriptures by the Church (see Bible Corruption), and in their reactionary doctrine to the corruption of the Roman Church, the fathers of the Reformation plunged Christianity into an even greater apostasy to the true teachings of Yeshua and TheWay. Thus, Christians condemn the Knowledge of TheWay, in order to remain apostates to the Kingdom by holding fast to the doctrines of Martin Luther. In the same way that Luther condemned those who attempted to live a pious life to be sinners, someone who is an Eternal Seeker from their perspective, rejects the free gift of salvation in the Jesus-god of Constantine.

Christians claim that Jesus was God, because the claim was made that he was One with God. Yet, they fail to even consider the fact that "being One with God", is not the same as being God. This reality is parallel to that of a Divine Marriage ( http://DivineMarriage.org ) where the husband and wife are "one flesh"-- yet, that does not mean that the wife is the husband, and the husband is the wife. It means that they dwell in oneness and perfect harmony in the Higher Third-Force Soul reality that causes the vital life-force of each to flow freely through both bodies -- and it is the manifestation of this is spiritual Etheric reality that makes the "two one flesh". Further, the Gospel of John also states that the Disciples were One with both Yeshua, and the Father -- so does that make them God also? Thus, what we have is the prevailing Christian ignorance preached by a clergy who "...promise [of] freedom [in their doctrine of salvation by faith and grace alone], while they themselves are slaves of depravity"

In order to be a believer and follower of Yeshua/Jesus and TheWay, the person must make themselves the "good ground" in which the Living Word has been implanted (see http://SowerAndSeed.com ) -- Christians promote the doctrine that they attribute to Paul with respect to being saved by faith apart from one's actions. And if Paul had meant this in the manner that they imagine, he never would have told them to "be afraid" that if they are unfaithful to their Covenant, that they will be cast away (see http://ebionite.com/#purescriptures ). In the same way that Yeshua taught that with respect to the teachings on the sin of adultery that his followers would be held to a higher standard than the Jews, this is confirmed in Paul's warning to "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body" (1 Cor 6:18 NKJ). If the author of these words agreed with the doctrine that man is saved by faith apart from his actions, then he would have said that once you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savoir, sexual immorality no longer matters. When Paul wrote that man cannot be saved by the works of the Law, he was making reference to the outward rituals of the Jews -- something which even modern Judaism has rejected (see http://TheThreeLies.com ). Christians are blind to the true meaning of their own scriptures, because to even begin to walk in TheWay, one must Repent. Yet, there can be no repentance, so long as Christians continue to embrace the culture and mindset of this world. Moreover, without true repentance, there can be no Law of Grace -- only the disillusion of being possessed by the Powers of the Left Hand (see http://DivineManna.org ). If the beginning of one's walk in TheWay is initiated with repentance, then there must be a total severing with the sins of one's past in order to be faithful to the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay. To have compassion and make excuses for the ways of this world -- attempting to portray the path of ignorance as being OK from the perspective of the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay -- is merely the product of a defiled mind that Satan whispers to -- often telling you his name is Jesus Christ. So long as you keep following counterfeit shepherds who promote the doctrine that you are saved by Grace regardless of your actions, mindset and lifestyle, then you will continue to be apostates to the Kingdom and the Living Word of God.

The Nazirene

Our Own Divine Counterpart And Soul-Self

The following post was put across the Nazirene Disciple Forums of TheWay on yahoogroups:

Few people understand why Yeshua taught that there is only one way -- which is very clearly taught in the New Testament. And myself, and perhaps a few others in this forum, are the only people who understand why there is only one way -- and yet, as Yeshua taught, there are others who are climbing up alternate ways -- and while they attain results, the struggle often takes longer. Or, in the case of many of these ways, they are abandoned and the souls eventually move onward. In the case of Ra who your are addressing, I know for a fact that he many times abandoned the way of the monk, to seek in TheWay.

I openly acknowledge that the Eastern paths work -- but I also understand why I would not want to go in those ways. I also understand that most people who think they are making gains, are in that category that Valentinus defined as seekers that never are able to bring about the necessary spiritual transformation. Even the true Jewish seekers, tend to remain too Jewish in their understanding. The Sufis remain too Muslim in their thinking. The Christians remain too doctrinal Christian. The New Age remains far too cultural. The men remain too male in their thinking. The women remain too female in their thinking. And then there is the ego problem -- i.e., when the first century elder Ignatius wrote: “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” -- they think that they are exempt. Or when Paul makes it all seem so very clear and simple, they ignore the words: “I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready” (1 Cor 3:2 NIV). Or when Paul writes that he will “...tell about the visions I've had, and revelations from the Lord. Fourteen years ago I was taken up to heaven for a visit. Don't ask me whether my body was there or just my spirit, for I don't know; only God can answer that. But anyway, there I was in paradise, and heard things so astounding that they are beyond a man's power to describe or put in words (and anyway I am not allowed to tell them to others)” (2 Cor 12:1-4 TLB) -- they fail to comprehend that the very purpose of the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay is to bring about entrance into the Inner Kingdom where the disciple will learn the Sacred Knowledge by virtue of their own spiritual experiences. And their own ego inhibits them from asking the question: Why was Paul "not allowed to tell others" what he witnessed in this higher reality? And it is their own ego that blinds them to Paul's words when he warned the baptized and committed Christians as Corinth who had themselves received all the spiritual gifts that the people of the flesh can receive: “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 NKJ). Paul then goes on and warns these believers of a natural mind who were baptized and dedicated to Christ: “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ” (1 Cor 3:1 NAS). Thus, these believers could only be taught the allegorical doctrine of Jesus Christ and him crucified (1 Cor 2:2), because they were not yet spiritual men -- but rather, they were men of flesh and still very much “babes in Christ”. Paul then explains that: “I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able” (1 Cor 3:2 NAS).

All the religions of the world are all being supported by a great number of believers and followers who all reject the above words -- and all these religions proclaim: We have the truth that we can tell you, and it is all very simple. And unlike the, I openly state that all of their paths are valid -- but they are all elementary -- designed to condition the people to begin the journey in TheWay. But the problem is that the leaders of these religions and groups can't live with that statement, because each of their shortcut solutions has reaped great monitery, influential and even political rewards -- and thus, the leaders are themselves spiritually flat-lined, because they have each received their rewards in the fruit and bounty of this world. Which is basically an acknowledgment of what I previously wrote with respect to those who proclaim to be a teacher or master, the Laws will limit.

On the other hand, myself and a few others here, openly state that while we can't teach you True Gnosis, we can guide you in TheWay by conveying to you how you must live, and the mindset that you must embrace, in order to begin to receive the Divine Manna of the Kingdom which is True Gnosis. And what we say is that the people of this world have only attained to the first of the threefold births -- and if they fail to bring about the next stage of soul-birth, that they will make very little gain in this life -- i.e., the Gospel of Philip: "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,¹ they will not receive anything (when) they die" And we say, that it is impossible to know God, until one first comes to Know Thyself as Yeshua taught in the Gospel of Thomas: "But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty... Whoever finds himself is superior to the world." And with respect to all of the above, few people comprehend the reality of the warning: "If I tell you of earthly things, and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you of heavenly things?"

If it were all so very simple, then why couldn't the biblical authors just hold a seminar like is routine in the New Age, and teach the Mysteries of God? Or write a book in the manner of the countless authors have today? Or preach the Gospel of all you need to know from the pulpit as the modern Christians do? Then we have the all you need is love people -- and while in the Sermon on the Mount, Yeshua proclaimed the need for this love -- he also said that when he was speaking of even the minor mysteries which he portrays in the above as "...earthly things, and you do not believe" -- because you do not possess the necessary development of mind that is necessary to comprehend all that must be embraced in order to bring about the next stage of soul-birth -- and therefore we can't even begin to speak of the next level of Mysteries of the kingdom: "...how will you believe if I tell you of heavenly things?" And because I acknowledge that these words which are contained in the Bible are true, beyond most people's ability to even imagine, I am rejected as a heretic and even a nut-job. But even this was predicted: "They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service" (John 16:2 NKJ). And perhaps the closest analogy to reality is that of Plato's Cave ( http://DivineStrategery.com#Plato ) -- i.e., "And upon escaping from the intellectual cave that shackles mankind, when they try to go back into the cave and tell the other captives the truth, they are mocked as madmen."

As you write below, most people who attempt to walk the mystical path begin to learn how little they know, because they lack both the Key of Knowledge, and the necessary foundational mindset that is necessary to become the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower and the Seed (see http://SowerAndSeed.com ). And therefore, time and again, the words in the Epistle of Peter and James are perpetually proven true: "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." Before you can even begin to understand why, as Valentinus warned, the path of seekers will flat-line at a certain point, you must first understand why it was said: "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error". And, until you attempt to find a solution to man's inherent congenital ignorance, you must first begin to understand the indigenous cause of his ignorance. And you must understand why Origen warned that few men who seek for knowledge, are even remotely aware of their innate source of knowledge even before they begin to seek -- and the knowledge that they begin to acquire in this world, only serves to alienate them from this Genuine Source of Knowledge which they have been barred from tapping into -- i.e., the words of Paul: "...things so astounding that they are beyond a man's power to describe or put in words (and anyway I am not allowed to tell them to others)” (2 Cor 12:1-4 TLB).

And while I don't like to use him as a resource because most of his understanding was by virtue of drug induced visions, what Philip K. Dick stated with respect to The Ten Principles Of The Gnostic Revelation is true where he wrote: "Each of us has a divine counterpart unfallen who can reach a hand down to us to awaken us. This other personality is the authentic waking self; the one we have now is asleep and minor. We are in fact asleep, and in the hands of a dangerous magician disguised as a good god, the deranged creator deity. The bleakness, the evil and pain in this world, the fact that it is a deterministic prison controlled by the demented creator causes us willingly to split with the reality principle early in life, and so to speak willingly fall asleep in delusion." (see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NazireneLibrary/message/638 ). In their ignorance, the New Age actually worships this "...dangerous magician disguised as a good god" -- which people such as Neale Donald Walsch in his Conversations With God, call the Collective Consciousness. And while Yeshua came to save the people from the shackles of this god which he portrayed as the "citizen... of the far country", the Christians reject the teachings of TheWay, and worship the Jesus-god of Constantine in order to remain shackled and imprisoned in this realm of illusion.

As Philip Dick states, each of us has a divine counterpart -- i.e., a soul-self -- that is our true self who is not suppressed upon entering this life as the Hindus and Buddhists believe. But it is impossible for this divine counterpart who is our true self to reach down to us, because we are under the control of the god of this world -- and we are subject to the organic limitations of this world that men's religious teachings and egos refuse to permit them to acknowledge the shackles of. And as a guide and shepherd of TheWay, my mission is to convey to you how you must live and the mindset you must embrace, in order for this divine counterpart that each of us has, to in fact reach down to you, and guide you in TheWay -- and to teach you the Mysteries of the Kingdom. And if you follow after the teachers, gurus, yogis, and masters of this world, your own divine counterpart, who knows more than any teacher of this world can even begin to convey, then you will inhibit your own ability to learn from this divine counterpart who is the true you that is not manifest in this world. Why? Because, from a biblical perspective, you will be an adulterous and unfaithful woman -- i.e., the Bridegroom of your soul desires to provide you will all things of any real value and sustenance, but you are a whoring adulterous woman who is unfaithful to her true husband that is often represented in the Bible as your only true spouse, because you are a dog who will take knowledge (food) from any hand that feeds you, and a swine who only knows her master when she is in need. And while the people of this world will read many books -- enroll in many seminaries -- seek out many teachers -- and even promote countless opinions -- it is not until they seek to understand why it was written that "...it will remain even for those who really seek the truth, always to wander in error" -- and seek instead to Know Thyself and the Husband of their Soul -- that they will be even able to begin to walk in TheWay.

Chamge The World -- Tell The Truth About Islam

Shalom Irshad:

Having recently read your opinion piece in the WSJ

(see http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110005102 ) -- and having a number of times listened to you on Fox News -- having got your email address off your web site ( http://www.muslim-refusenik.com/ ) -- there is an important point that you are missing in the message you are attempting to convey. Mohammed never said the Satanic Verses that empower radical Islam (see http://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2006/09/should-pope-have-spoken-denial-of.html ) -- and in the same way that the Christian scriptures were corrupted ( http://BibleCorruption.com ), so too was the Qur'an. Which means that those Muslims who kill, do so by their own volition and those of their counterfeit leaders. Can this fact be proven? A person who is a True Muslim -- in contradistinction to a Muslim of the flesh who dwells under the cloud of manmade opinion -- would know what I am saying to be fact, because they would have made the true Journey of the soul by night to the Spiritual Distant Mosque within (see http://TheThreeLies.com#mosque ). God does not abandon faithful seekers -- and those who are willing to embrace the necessary Jihad within themselves, inherit the promise of entrance into the Kingdom within ( http://GateOfEden.com ), and learn the Truth from the One Teacher that both Jesus and Mohammed said to seek.

Among the many things that condemn the Muslims of the flesh to spiritually imposed ignorance, is their intolerance and even promotion of violence in the name of God -- and if the pope was to remain silent with respect to this spiritual apostasy, then the pope himself would share in the sin of Muslims. As is stated, to whom much is given, more is required -- and if the pope had remained silent or complacent as is the case with most of the worlds leaders, then he would be deemed a spiritual infidel. As it is written: "Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned" (Matt 12:31-37 NKJ).

No man is commanded by God to kill others because they are an unbeliever. The Satanic Verses of the Qur'an are interpolations by men who followed after Mohammed -- and not only represent a desecration of Islam -- but an abomination against the Holy Spirit and God -- i.e., the example of these Satanic Verses is seen in the words: "Slay them wherever you find them...Idolatry is worse than carnage...Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme." (Surah 2:190-) "Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it." (Surah 2:216) "Seek out your enemies relentlessly." (Surah 4:103-) "...make war on the leaders of unbelief...Make war on them: God will chastise them at your hands and humble them. He will grant you victory over them..." (Surah 9:12-) "It is He who has sent forth His apostle with guidance and the true Faith [Islam] to make it triumphant over all religions, however much the idolaters [non-Muslims] may dislike it." (Surah 9:31-) "If you do not fight, He will punish you sternly, and replace you by other men." (Surah 9:37-).

When Jesus warned: "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned" -- to promote the Qur'an and the teaching that the above represents the Words of God, is simply unforgivable. And all leaders -- both religious and secular -- who remain complacent to these words of abomination, are themselves condemned. And while you may find yourself rejected by a vast segment of the Muslim world -- and even deemed a sinner by their standards -- that they even promote this abomination among men, means that while their sin is unforgivable, you will yourself find Grace if you convey to the people that the above such words neither originated with Mohammed or God -- and that it is within the seekers ability to prove the facts.

Reply To Islam Not The Problem

The below was sent to the editor of TomPaine.com in response to the opinion of Dr. James Zogby that Islam is not the problem.

Shalom Tom Paine:

In reply to Dr. James Zogby who authored the article that Islam Not the Problem @

http://www.tompaine.com/articles/2006/09/18/islam_is_not_the_problem.php

Where does the Truth lie? Below you will find a letter I sent to Pope Benedict this morning which addresses the crux of the problem that Dr. Zogby does not want to face -- i.e., the corruption of the world's sacred writings by those who use religion for their own purposes, and man's alienation from both the Truth and the Kingdom of God by the leaders of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. And while Dr. Zogby's suggestion that the pope remove the beam from his own eye before he speaks the truth about Islam may sound reasonable to the foolish, the fact that the Church of Rome was in the past entirely corrupted and violated the Rights of Man in much the same way that Islam is today, is simply not a rational excuse for the abomination that is being carried out by a segment of Islam -- whereby they promote the counterfeit teaching that God desires them to murder the innocent.

As stated on the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus Blog entry Should Pope Have Spoken - Denial of Truth Messiah/Christ

http://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2006/09/should-pope-have-spoken-denial-of.html -- neither Mohammed, nor his God Allah, stated the words that I have portrayed as Satanic Verses which Islam has used almost since its inception to convert people by the sword. And that the followers of Mohammed corrupted the Qur'an, is as true as the fact that the Christians corrupted the Bible (see http://BibleCorruption.com ). Which means that in the same way that the Muslims accuse the Christians of the idolatry of worshiping the man Jesus as God, the Muslims are engaging in an even greater sin of murder in the Name of God. And if Pope Benedict fails to witness to the Truth as expressed in the below, then the pope will have the blood of the innocent on his own hands, as does the Muslims who are even complacent to the evil of Islam is today.

While counterfeit shepherds routinely corrupt the scriptures in order to make them serve their own needs, every man, woman and child is a Divine Expression of the Most High, and are all responsible for Knowing the Truth. And this is why Yeshua/Jesus condemned the Pharisees, because as counterfeit shepherds they were leading the people in the wrong direction. And while the counterfeit shepherds of Islam can kill the body of Pope Benedict and the innocent people of the earth, so long as they cling to the Truth, the Islamic despots who murder in the name of their god, cannot deprive the people they kill of their soul. It is an absolute abomination to murder in the name of God -- and all Muslims who themselves turn a complacent blind eye -- or attempt to justify this horrendous sacrilegious abomination which is being perpetratred by counterfeit shepherds -- will themselves be held accountable.

This letter is being copied to Dr. Zogby and the Arab American Institute, so that they might know that what the Catholics did in the past, does not in any manner justify what the Muslims are doing today. And if they fail to declare to the world that God does not in any manner condone the murder of others, then they will themselves be held accountable.

Should Pope Have Spoken - Denial of Truth Messiah/Christ

Greetings Fox & Friends:

With respect to the statement by E.D. that the pope should have remained silent rather than make a statement which would enrage the Muslim world: His apology is not only a denial of the Truth, of God and Messiah/Christ, but is an acknowledgement of his own spiritual disenfranchisement.

You cannot be worthy to receive and know the Truth, if you are not willing to defend and witness to the Truth. If you believe that Jesus said: "But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be liable to the hell of fire" (Matt 5:22 RSV) -- then you simply cannot believe that God is the author of the Satanic Verses that are found in the Qur'an

(see http://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2006/07/evil-vs-evil-clash-of-ideologies.html ). If you believe that Jesus spoke the Truth, then you can't believe that God is the author of the Satanic Verses of the Qur'an which convey a totally opposite teaching in the words: "Slay them wherever you find them...Idolatry is worse than carnage...Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme." (Surah 2:190-) "Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it." (Surah 2:216) "Seek out your enemies relentlessly." (Surah 4:103-) "...make war on the leaders of unbelief...Make war on them: God will chastise them at your hands and humble them. He will grant you victory over them..." (Surah 9:12-) "It is He who has sent forth His apostle with guidance and the true Faith [Islam] to make it triumphant over all religions, however much the idolaters [non-Muslims] may dislike it." (Surah 9:31-) "If you do not fight, He will punish you sternly, and replace you by other men." (Surah 9:37-).

If the pope was a true holy man who had undergone the process of spiritual transformation as required by all true Disciples of Messiah/Christ, then he would know that the above and many other such verses are an interpolation in the Qur'an -- a corruption that was added by the followers of Islam after Mohammed's death. And while the Roman Catholic Church corrupted the New Testament scriptures (see http://BibleCorruption.com ) -- which corruption was responsible for the birth of Islam as stated in a Letter to Pope Benedict XVI

(see http://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2006/07/source-of-world-violence-letter-to.html ) -- the very fact that the pope failed to stand up before the world and pronounce the Truth that No One Kills In The Name Of God, represents a lost opportunity not only for the pope, but all of Christianity.

Every time a True Prophet and visionary walks among mankind, his spiritual teachings are very quickly corrupted and used by counterfeit religious leaders who use God and religion to control and lead other men. This is what happened to Judaism, and why Jesus opposed the Pharisees and Sadducees. And after the teachings of Jesus were corrupted by the Church of Constantine

(see http://Ebionite.com/prologue.htm ), this is why Mohammed attempted to restore many of the more important original concepts. But like the Torah and New Testament, the followers of Islam corrupted the Qur'an in order to use it for their own purposes of the domination of others -- in contradistinction to the struggle and domination of one's own self in order to bring about the process of spiritual transformation. And once properly understood, there is absolutely no difference between the spiritual essence and objectives of Judaism, Christianity or Islam (see http://TheThreeLies.com ), except for man's own ignorance as to the true spiritual meaning of each of the three religions.

All the events of this world are brought about by the Laws which move the hearts and minds of mankind. In part, this is explained in the Blog article entitled The Law Of Octaves And The Failure Of All Manmade Institutions

(see http://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2006/08/law-of-octaves-and-failure-of-all.html ). When Pope Benedict XVI quoted the statement that "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." (see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EbioniteNazireneIssues/message/17 ) -- in the same way that the Satanic Verses of the Qur'an were not those of God written through Mohammed, neither is the Christian ignorance of the true teachings of Jesus the words of his disciples and authors of the New Testament which was rewritten by the Pagan Church of Rome ( http://Ebionite.com ). And in the same way that Pope John Paul II was tested and failed when he condemned Israel and George Bush (see http://EpistleOfLight.com ) for the violence that the Church of Rome has brought about in this world through ignorance and the withholding of important scriptures -- not only was Pope Benedict tested, wherein he failed when he did not stand up for the Truth -- but the whole of the Islamic world was tested, and they have failed to pass the test as True Muslims. Because the Kingdom is within us ( http://GateOfEden.com ) -- and each of us is ultimately responsible for knowing the Truth regardless of the teachings and doctrines of men -- the very fact that the Muslim world would rise up and promote the Satanic Verses that carnal men added to the Qur'an, brings judgement upon the whole of the Muslim world.

Pope Benedict XVI and the Catholic Church has been spiritually disenfranchised for the very same reason why the Islamic world has been cut off from the true knowledge of the Journey of the soul to the Distant Mosque that is required of every Muslim believer in their lives

(see http://brotherofyeshua.com/TheThreeLies.htm#mosque ). Any Muslim who succeeds in the true inner struggle of the Jihad within, will learn the Truth with respect to the corruption of the Qur'an when they enter the Inner Distant Mosque in the Spiritual Mecca within themselves. And in the same way that the Apostle Paul wrote of the "letter that killeth" with respect to the written words of the Torah (see http://ebionite.com/defeat.htm ) -- and Jesus warned that only those who pick up their own cross and follow in TheWay will have eyes to see and understand the spiritual meaning of the scriptures -- those who see only the corrupted written words of the Qur'an, and fail to bring about the necessary spiritual transformation, are themselves apostates to the teachings of Mohammed.

This is the Message that the world needs to hear!!!

The Devil And Joe Lieberman - Selling One's Soul

While on the surface the defeat of Joe Lieberman in the Democrat primary may appear to be provoked by the issue of national security, the few visionaries who truly understand the workings of the Laws, perceive an even greater issue of the threat to Constitutional security that far eclipses the understanding of most people. But to even begin to understand the Laws that move all events of this world, one would have to comprehend that very outmoded biblical statement that while "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps" (Prov 16:9). But since few people today possess the cognitive vision to perceive and understand the underlying workings of the Laws which direct the steps of all people and world events, let me provide a very different insight than you will find from any other source, as to why Joe Lieberman was both defeated, and resurrected in the present campaign to retain his job as senator.

What disturbed me the most when Joe Lieberman was chosen to run as vice president six years ago, was when he sold out his position on the need for school choice -- which is one of the essentials to a free and evolved society. For purely political gain, he fully embraced the agenda of Al Gore, and began to oppose many of the long-held positions that set him apart from the George Soros element of the Democrats. So why would George Soros and the majority of liberal operatives be against school choice? Because there is a war being waged against America -- not only by Islamic terrorists who would consider it their greatest religious achievement to nuke our major cities -- but also a war on traditional American values and freedoms being waged by the socialist left whose primary motivation is to make war upon religion and the belief in God. And in the same way that the liberals have used judicial activists to further their agenda that they could not bring about through the legislative process, they use the schools to indoctrinate young impressionable minds -- casting the souls of the innocent into the abyss of a hell that they are not even intellectually prepared to understand. And this hell is not the fire and brimstone variety of the Christian world -- but rather, the hell of a failed life and the total alienation from the essence of their own true self. And just to demonstrate the reality of these strange sounding words that I am stating, it is a fact that few people reading what I have to write are even remotely aware that they have a true self that is untouched and beyond the philosophical, religious and ideological vicissitudes and ignorance of this world. And even fewer are aware that their true measure of success in this life, is to the degree that they are able to manifest that inner self of the soul, in spite of the cultural tides of the outer world. Because we dwell in an ideologically plastic and politically correct society, modern man dwells under the illusion that they are nothing more the form of the person who looks back at them in the reflected image they see in the mirror -- never realizing that what they see is a victim of our culture that has been molested and robbed of their greatest birth-right. Like a person stricken with amnesia, they have been mentally ravaged and indoctrinated to the degree that they have been deprived of even the knowledge of their true identity.

The problem with mankind is that we are a world deprived of wise men and leaders who look out at the world and are blind to the reality that they see. And no greater example of man's ignorance is seen in the reality of the American People who fail to comprehend even the gift of freedom that they are so willing to squander away. From a higher soul-perspective, there is a reason why men see and think differently -- a reason for the many conflicts in the world -- and a reason for all the philosophical, ideological and religious differences that brings about the great divide among mankind. And the conflict can never be removed from the equation, until a body of wise men emerge who possess the vision to understand what they see when they look outward and behold the reality of this world. And Sen. Joe Lieberman is a prime example of the result of selling one's soul to the devil for purely political gain. But because in his heart, Joe Lieberman is a good man, God will use him to make an important statement to those who are looking for guidance.

Our Constitutional framers were visionaries who spoke of Universal Laws and UnAlienable God-Given Rights -- and of the Laws of Nature and Nature's God. Liberals and the secular left generally become very upset when the United States is spoken of as having a Divine Purpose in this world. And this is why I often get hate mail from them, when I convey the reality that every event that transpires in the life of man has been orchestrated by the Laws of God for a higher purpose than organic man is capable of understanding. And as a people who are 200 years removed from the founding of our Nation, we no longer possess either the enlightened vision or knowledge of the men and women who provided an opportunity for a people to emerge who were not shackled by the superstition and ignorance of the past. And while in our present technological age we look upon ourselves as enlightened, nothing could be further from the truth. That we have learned to make various forms, shapes and configurations of matter that are charged with electrons perform like trained dogs to our amusement and distraction from the real issues of life, does not make us wise and knowing -- only the product of our own devices. From the perspective of the men of ancient wisdom, the mark of enlightenment was a man who possessed the vision that enabled him to pierce through the facade and illusion that looked back at him in the image and form he saw in a mirror, and fulfill the adage to Know Thyself. And the reality that modern man has failed to come to terms with, is the fact that our present-day technology has only served to distract us from the primary goals of life. Where the biblical authors portrayed sensuality and mammon as the tools of the Demiurge of this world, the god of our modern culture has added technology, mass-media hypnosis and social programs to his seductive powers that rob the people of the knowledge of their true self. Because if the people could even for a moment glimpse reality from the vision of their true self that dwells at an inner dimension of mind and being that is far removed from the illusions of this world, they would be horrified at what they saw. And whether you want to portray man's plight from the biblical perspective of the prodigal son who has been cast out into the "far country... outer darkness" of consciousness and being, or the plight of the slaves in Plato's Cave (see http://DivineStrategery.com ), one of the primary catalysts for escaping the shackles of ignorance, illusion and blind-delusion, is an enlightened vision that is able to look out at the world and understand what one sees. And this begins with an understanding of not only why men dwell under the Tower of Babel Syndrome and see life from greatly differing perspectives, but to grasp the realities of the Laws that force mankind into these partisan and parochial roles that they live out on the stage of life. And this higher vision and enlightened wisdom can only be brought about, when each of the primary divisions that mold men's thinking, is permitted to evolve to its own zenith of illumination.

In the allegory of Genesis, we are told that if we eat the fruit of the Tree of Life, that will cannot die -- and this is true. But what few people understand is the fact that the Tree of Life is the blueprint and pattern of our own mind. And herein lies the root problem -- i.e., because the body-vessel will only permit a fragment of one of the twelve spheres to manifest without a conscious effort on the part of the individual -- and the Laws that control this world maintain balance across the spectrum of a multitude of people who because of the fragmentation, all perceive life from a different perspective and understanding -- any attempt to homogenize the thinking of the people in accord with either religious or philosophical doctrines of belief, or modern-day Marxist-lite social secularism, only serves to inhibit man's ability to perceive both the higher reality of this world, as well as their true soul-self that remains distant in an inner dimension of mind and being. But to the good fortune of the American people, our forefathers knew a great deal more than they could tell the general population. Our Constitutional framers who molded our form of government, had themselves taped into this inner Source of Knowledge that enabled them to see and understand what most of mankind is blind to. And in our present time the greatest inhibitor to a group of wise leaders emerging from the shackles of our culture, is the total rejection of these core founding principles by the American People who have permitted themselves to become not only disenfranchised from their Constitutional heritage, but also alienated from their true self. Because, until we come to understand the underlying reasons why men think and perceive the world differently, we will ourselves remain as ships without a rudder being blown by the political winds of ignorance and despair.

Our Constitutional framers possessed the vision to protect us from the ignorance and superstition of dogmatic religion, but they could never have imagined the polarizing partisan power of our modern electronic media which is being used by the un-liberal left to plunder the masses of their self-identity, and cast them into a new dark ages of ignorance and superstition. And while the war on the Constitution is being waged in the courts by judicial activists who misuse their positions to recreate America in accord with their partisan ideology, the main tool of those who cloak themselves under the name of progressives, is the preservation of secular institutionalized education whose primary objective is to homogenize the minds and thinking of impressionable young children -- robbing them not only of their religion, morality and sense of standards of right and wrong -- but also the very essence of their true selves. Prior to being named as Al Gore's running mate, Joe Lieberman was a proponent of school choice -- which from a Constitutional perspective, it should be the right of every American to educate their children in accord with their own First Amendment protected religious beliefs. As an Orthodox Jew, he possessed the vision to recognize the need for children to be reared in accord with their religion and the thinking of their family environment. But George Soros who is known as the messiah of the atheists whose money and power has become the driving force of the agenda of MoveOn.org and the socialist left -- which is attempting to eradicate not only the belief in God, but all standards of morality and right and wrong human behavior. And while Joe Lieberman who was often called the conscience of the Senate, sold his soul to the devil in order to become Al Gore's running mate, as the political dust of the fallout of the Connecticut primary begins to clear on the dawn of a new day, Sen. Lieberman has found that the devil has predictably turned upon him. There are no accidents, Joe -- and God has sent you a sign. When you get in bed with the devil, the prevailing moral bankruptcy very quickly robs you of your essence and innate connection to your inner true self.

Having been rejected by the un-liberal left who are intolerant of anyone other than those who embrace their ideology, Joe Lieberman has been resurrected in the senatorial race as an Independent. But my question to Joe is whether he has learned the more important lessons of life? I listened to Joe's speech last night when he laid out the course of running as an Independent -- but now that he has been set free from the shackles of the left wing ideology, will he recognize that in the same way that his party which has fallen under the control of the Taliban of Radical-Socialism has absolutely no tolerance for freedom of thought, or that ghastly freedom of religion and all that the religious life should encompass -- it is this same political party that is at war not only with the very essence of the Constitution, but also the very concept and reality of God-Given UnAlienable Rights? Joe, if you add your own voice to Democrats such as Sen. Zel Miller, perhaps you can begin to open the eyes of those who traditionally vote Democrat, and help them to recognize that their big-tent party has been hijacked by those who seek to suppress freedom of thought and individual rights. And that the war on the security of our nation, is a great deal more than the threat of Islamic fanatics who want to inherit 72 virgins by nuking our cities. George Soros, who claims that he bought and paid for the Democrat Party, is using his vast fortune to stamp out what he sees as the superstitious belief in God. To his way of thinking, the idea of a Nation founded upon UnAlienable God-Given Rights, is pure heresy that must be overcome. George Soros, MoveOn.org, and others of the Taliban Socialist Left, want to do away with the very concept that government derives its power from the people who possess God-Given Right. And to their way of thinking, men and women derive their rights by virtue of the socialism of government that bestows upon it's people's whatever rights it deems they should have. As the proclaimed messiah of the atheists whose objective is to terminate man's superstitious belief in God and a higher power than the governments of man, George Soros and the leftist Taliban of radical socialism want to rid the nation of the idea of God-Given Rights. And one of the necessary tools in the ideological war they are raging, is the institutionalized secular educational system where the minds of the children can be programmed to make them little morally challenged godless comrades who are under the counterfeit sovereignty of the socialist state. When you became Al Gore's running mate, you began to toe the party line on school choice -- and the right to raise one's own children in accord with the religious beliefs of the family, should have long ago been acknowledged as a Constitutional Right of the practice of one's religion. The raising of one's children in accord with religious precepts, IS THE PRACTICE OF RELIGION at its very essence. The Fundamentalist Right refuse to support school choice (see http://ebionite.com/aclj.htm ), because that would constitute a denial of their doctrine of saved by faith regardless of actions. And it is the reluctance of the Religious Right to commit themselves to the necessity of a child being educated in accord with the families religious beliefs, that has opened the door for the un-liberal left to bring about an environment where not only are children alienated from God, but immersed in a secular school environment that robs them of any sense of morality and a reasonable discernment of right and wrong.

Prove The Truth -- Where's The Beef?

The following was written to me: Although you seem to have good intentions (Ebionites/Nazirenes), I am a doubting Thomas. Reading historical implications of the Nag Hammadi texts of Gnosticism, Elain Pagels in her many books, calls in to question the authenticity of the Christian Bible, original sin, the devil and a number of other widely held beliefs. She is a professor of theology at Princeton and a self avowed Gnostic. I e-mailed her and asked who were the authors of the four Christian Gospels and her reply was, "Nobody knows." So my question to you is: Where do you get off teaching you are the only ones who've got it right? I mean, its not as though one could walk up to the historic Jesus and ask him to spell it out. Do you have your own Bible. Is it open for public scrutiny? If so, I'd like to read it. At the core of my problem with your claims is that you may lead a countless number of people away from any semblance of their faith in what may or may not be authentic. I am not a Christian in any way, shape or form. I have a deep and abiding respect for Jesus though. And I believe that several well-meaning individuals have over edited source material that is no longer extant. Like the old TV commercial, I have to ask, "Where's the beef!?"

The Answer:

While I have the utmost respect for Elaine Pagels -- and you can do me the favor and forward this on to her -- Elaine Pagels is not a Gnostic. She embraces Gnostic philosophy -- but gnosis is not received out of books or reading scriptures that have been rejected by the Church. Gnosis is the experiential knowledge or Divine Manna one can only receive via one's inner soul and spiritual natures. And since by their very standards, all scholars would reject the (Gnostic) Wisdom and Knowledge of the True Mystic who is able to transcend this world, there is not a single scholar who can even begin to possess True Gnosis. Elaine Pagels entered into this life to bring about important work for the betterment of mankind, and has the knowledge of a scholar that has been the product of much outward study. And while she is a student of Gnostic philosophy, she is not herself a Gnostic. She lacks both an understanding of the inner meaning of both the scriptures, and her own inner soul-self (see http://ebionite.com/reincarnation.htm#birth and http://BeingOfLight.com ). And while she has learned about Gnosticism, the very nature of her scholarly work inhibits her from being herself a Gnostic -- as one who can receive the Inner Divine Manna (see http://DivineManna.org ). If Pagels was herself a Mystic who has experienced Inner Gnosis, rather then a scholar, the critics who oppose her would be able to easily dismiss what she writes (see http://insightscoop.typepad.com/2004/2006/04/jesuit_scholar_.html ). In the same way that the Pharisees stated to Yeshua that he was not taught by them, it is a fact as Paul warns that the organic mind of man is incapable of comprehending the higher realities of the soul and the spirit (see http://ebionite.com/defeat.htm ). So in our present time, the soul of people such as Elaine Pagels entered into life to lay the important framework for people in search of Truth to begin to walk the mystical/spiritual path of TheWay. So the soul of Elaine Pagels is using this present life, in order to receive the right to be born into a truly spiritual life in the future where this wisdom can be made a true part of her soul-experiences.

As stated on the Divine Manna web site ( http://DivineManna.org ), all scriptures are equally Gnostic -- and this important reality is one of the reasons why I asked you to forward my answer to you on to Elaine Pagels if you are able. As a witness via my past lives as to the events that transpired behind the scenes ( http://BrotherOfYeshua.com ), as stated in the opening on the article on Bible Corruption ( http://BibleCorruption.com ), not only were the most spiritual scriptures never even given to the Gentiles outside of the Ebionite Disciples of Yeshua/Jesus, but these scriptures had to be made more simple and elementary with respect to the content. Also, modifications were made in order to accommodate the Greek and Roman mindset. As an example: The original Gospels did not have a virgin birth -- but since all the Messiahs of the Gentile world were said to have been born of a virgin, this was added. But if you understand the true inner (Gnostic) meaning of the virgin birth, it is making reference to the spiritual birth that each Disciple must bring about in their own lives. If you must be (spiritually) Born Again, who will be your parents (Male/Female Forces) of this second stage of birth? It will be a Divine Birth -- and thus, St. Gregory writes: “…we conclude that the power of the Highest, coalescing with our entire nature by that coming upon (the Virgin) of the Holy Ghost, both resides in our soul, so far as reason sees it possible that it should reside there, and is blended with our body, so that our salvation throughout every element may be perfect”. In order to achieve this next level of soul-birth, you must yourself be born of what is allegorically portrayed as the virgin birth.

If you were able to understand the inner spiritual meaning, then you would recognize that there is no difference between the Old and New Testaments -- and only their outer form appears different to the unenlightened. And this is why Paul spoke of the Old Testament as the "letter that killeth... Jewish fables" which led men astray. And the Jewish Mystic has warned that the literal text of the Torah, is not the True Torah -- i.e., "Thus the tales related in the Torah are simply her outer garments, and woe to the man who regards that outer garb as the Torah itself, for such a man will be deprived of portion in the next world...." (The Zohar; Edited by Gershom G. Scholem, Zohar- The Book of Splendor, Basic Readings from the Kabbalah [New York, Schocken Books, 1949]). Why would a person who sees only the outer garb of the scriptures be deprived of their place in the next world? For the same reason why Valentinus warned that the people of an organic mind do not have salvation in the manner that they would imagine. For the same reason that Yeshua warned that if you do not bring about the next stage of soul-birth while in the body, that you cannot enter into Life (see http://ebionite.com/reincarnation.htm#birth and http://BeingOfLight.com ).

Yeshua taught that the Kingdom is within you ( http://GateOfEden.com ). And in the same way that in the Lord's Prayer, you are taught to pray for the Kingdom to Come -- and when speaking of prayer, it is stated that your Heavenly Father already knows all things that you need, so you should pray only for the Kingdom (to come) -- each person has the ability to enter the Inner Kingdom, by bringing about the next stage of soul-birth. But the teachings of Yeshua were corrupted by the Church of Rome, which used religion as a means of both redemption, and to control the people of the empire. And the necessity of this second soul-birth is the reason why the Divine Manna ( http://DivineManna.org ) web site opens with a warning from the Gospel of Thomas: "But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty... Whoever finds himself is superior to the world". And the finding of self is the primary objective of all scriptures. And when we add to this the statement from the Gospel of Philip that "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,¹ they will not receive anything (when) they die." We begin to get a glimpse of our own higher soul reality.

The more advanced among the Gentiles began to compose their own scriptures which the later Church of Constantine rejected as Gnostic and heresy. Since we can see out of the above quotation from the Zohar that the written words of the Torah are nothing more than an allegorical garb, many of the Gentiles were being severely misled by reading it. As stated in the Clementine Homilies by the Apostle Peter when he said of the power of Simon Magus to manipulate and deceive the minds of the Gentile believers: “And with us, indeed, who have had handed down from our forefathers the worship of the God who made all things, and also the mystery of the books which are able to deceive, he will not prevail; but with those from amongst the Gentiles who have the polytheistic fancy bred in them, and who know not the falsehoods of the Scriptures, he will prevail much. And not only he; but if any other shall recount to those from among the Gentiles any vain, dreamlike, richly set out story against God, he will be believed, because from their childhood their minds are accustomed to take in things spoken against God. And few there shall be of them, as a few out of a multitude, who through ingenuousness shall not be willing so much as to hear an evil word against the God who made all things. And to these alone from amongst the Gentiles it shall be vouchsafed to be saved. Let not any one of you, therefore, altogether complain of Simon, or of any one else; for nothing happens unjustly, since even the falsehoods of Scripture are with good reason presented for a test.”

Judaism is an ancient Mystery Religion that got mainstream acceptance. Only the core initiates knew the true inner meaning of the scriptures. The teachings of Yeshua and TheWay, and the associated New Covenant Gospels, represent a universal departure from the Mystery Religion mindset which deceived the common believers. The New Covenant Gospels were created so that a seeker could read the literal text, and perceive what was required in order to begin the necessary process of alchemical transfomation of the body and mind that would permit the next stage of soul-birth to be brought about. That many of the most important concepts were removed by the later Church which was anti-gnosis and called itself Orthodox, is why I openly support the Gospel of the Nazirenes ( http://GospelOfTheNazirenes.org ), because it restores many of these missing important concepts. Where the scholar is looking for what will be accepted as genuine from the community of acceptable authorities, the Mystic and Spiritual Source such as myself, only embraces what will bring about the next stage of soul-birth that the scholar knows nothing about.

What Peter warns in the above is true -- and is not only true of carnal Christians, but is true of carnal Jews, Muslims, the New Age, Buddhists, Hindus and all people the world over. And is part of the Divine Strategery ( http://DivineStrategery.com ) employed by what Yeshua portrays as the "citizen of the far country" in the parable of the prodigal son who is able to keep the people of a natural organic mind shackled to the thinking and illusion of this world. Notice the above words that "...for nothing happens unjustly, since even the falsehoods of Scripture are with good reason presented for a test” -- if I began writing on this subject, my material would be endless. And that the mainstream Jews, Christians and Muslims are unable to pass these necessary tests which lead to a more enlightened understanding, is one of the primay reasons for the conflict in the world today. Further, in addition to the seven libraries of scriptures which I make reference to at http://ebionite.com/#purescriptures , the Vatican has copies of many of these scriptures that would have the power to begin the process of bringing about world peace (see http://EpistleOfLight.com ), because these more pure scriptures would force all three religions to immediately re-evaluate many of their long-held grave misconceptions which not only has caused the walls of division, but also the conflict that has ensued.

The Spiritual Gentile Christians who were called Gnostics, did not want the people to become misled by the ancient Mystery Religion framework of what Peter calls "...the mystery of the books which are able to deceive", so they often portrayed Yeshua/Jesus after the allegory of the resurrection, without all the Jewish garb that part of the Jewish Mystery Religion mindset and traditions. Our true soul-self ( http://BeingOfLight.com ) transcends all the religions of man -- gender and race -- and all philosophies and ideologies -- and is a Being of Pure Knowing and Intellect. So while it is necessary to conceal essential Truths in Jewish allegorical garb for Jews, and Christian allegorical garb for Christians, and Muslim allegorical garb for Muslims, at a higher level, this garb itself becomes an obstacle. As stated in the 90th chapter of the Gospel of the Nazirenes ( http://gospel.nazirene.org/gospel_nine.htm#chapter90 ): "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." And since the Churches and Institutionalized religions of this world by their nature embrace doctrines of belief -- beliefs that are elementary and carnal -- and the organic mindset must be evolved level by level in the manner of the "good ground" of the parable of the Sower and the Seed (see http://SowerAndSeed.com ). And the truth and esoteric reality of both the scriptures, and life itself, is portrayed in the warning in the parable: “Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?” (Mark 4:13 KJV) -- or, in the wording of a the modern language New Living Translation: “But if you can’t understand this story, how will you understand all the others I am going to tell?”

What this means is that without living the Life and embracing the mindset prescribed by Yeshua, you have absolutely no hope in understanding anything pertaining to your own higher soul and spiritual reality. And this knowledge of higher soul-reality is what Gnosis is -- or the Divine Manna of the Kingdom. And it is not an intellectual knowledge that can be taught in the schools of man -- or the knowledge of reading the allegorical garb of the scriptures -- but rather, the experiential soul-knowledge that the Gospel of Thomas makes reference to in the opening where it states that if you possess the meaning of these sayings, you can never taste death. And the only way you can receive the Gnosis that would enlighten your mind and transform the physical from natural organic into a Living Temple that enables you to enter within the Holy of Holies within you, and see and understand all things as they truly are, is to become the "good ground" and seek the Kingdom within.

Now you ask for me to prove what I am saying? You are the prodigal son who is lost in this, the far country. In a parallel account, you will find these same truths portrayed in the analogy of Plato's Cave (see http://DivineStrategery.com#Plato ). So long as you remain under the control of what Yeshua portrayed as the "citizen of the far country" -- what Paul portrayed as the god of this world -- and what the Gnostics portrayed as the Demiurge -- then you will remain in what is called the "outer darkness" of consciousness which is portrayed in the parable of the Wedding Feast -- spellbound by the images which are danced upon the wall of Plato's Cave. By walking in TheWay that Yeshua taught, you will bring about the next stage of soul-birth which is portrayed in the allegory of the Resurrection in the words of the Gospel of Philip: "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." And this is the only means for you to prove the Truth.

U.S. Muslim leader blames Bush for war - The Quagmire of Evil And Unknowing

U.S. Muslim leader blames Bush for war - The Quagmire of Evil And Unknowing

Shalom Muslim American Society:

Unlike most people, I have many times expressed the position that the world conflict is not only caused by the Laws because the religious world has closed their minds to what the Hand of God has given them -- as seen in my recent letter to Pope Benedict which has been copied into my Blog entry ( http://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/ ) entitled: The Source Of World Violence - A Letter To Pope Benedict XVI. But when I saw the WorldNetDaily article quoting Mahdi Bray blaming George Bush (see http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51218 ), it was as if I were reading the words of a man who was totally oblivious to reality.

What the radical Islamists have begun to do, is enlighten people as to what the Qur'an actually states. In a previous Blog entry entitled Evil vs Evil - The Clash Of Ideologies, I quote the Qur'an: "Slay them wherever you find them...Idolatry is worse than carnage...Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme." (Surah 2:190-) "Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it." (Surah 2:216) "Seek out your enemies relentlessly." (Surah 4:103-) "...make war on the leaders of unbelief...Make war on them: God will chastise them at your hands and humble them. He will grant you victory over them..." (Surah 9:12-) "It is He who has sent forth His apostle with guidance and the true Faith [Islam] to make it triumphant over all religions, however much the idolaters [non-Muslims] may dislike it." (Surah 9:31-) "If you do not fight, He will punish you sternly, and replace you by other men." (Surah 9:37-).

In all my many interactions with Muslims, I find them basically as unknowing with respect to higher soul-reality, as most of their mainstream Jewish and Christian brothers -- and the ensuing conflict that has shed the blood of countless innocent lives, is basically one form of ignorance opposing another form of ignorance. So while you will no doubt reject what I am going to convey to you, when you pass from this life, instead of being welcomed by 72 virgins, there will come a time on the other side where you will be confronted by the Truth. And admittedly, most people in this world are astonished by this confrontation with Truth, because their own higher soul-reality is not what they expect or are in any manner even prepared to contemplate. As an example: Upon receiving this correspondence, you will no doubt say: Who is this insane man who believes that he previously lived as Jacob, who people call James, who lived as the Brother of Yeshua, who people call Jesus? And while it is easily proven that Jesus taught that the soul evolves to perfection over the course of many lifetimes (see http://Ebionite.com/reincarnation.htm ), you will not believe that such a thing could be possible. Regardless of the fact that it is a core Muslim doctrine that the New Testament was corrupted -- as I prove beyond any doubt at http://BibleCorruption.com -- and yet, it will not even dawn on you that the doctrine of soul-evolution was one of those important teachings that was removed by the Church of Rome.

This reality that you will be in denial of can be taken to the next step in the question: How did Mohammed come to be the Prophet? And while you are clueless as to why he was chosen to be the Prophet of Islam, as the soul who lived as the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus, I am not bound by man's carnal ignorance. Mohammed was chosen to live that life, because his soul had evolved to a highly enlightened level in the previous lives he had lived. Which is how the soul who lived as Moses came to be who he was -- how the soul who lived as Yeshua/Jesus came to be who he was, and is the same path that my own soul walked in order to become who I am -- then, now, and all the many lifetimes that I have lived in between. And since you already think that I am insane, let me impart to you some wisdom that you will confront on that day when you expect 72 virgins -- i.e., Mohammed did not write the above words in the Qur'an that are attributed to him. In the same way that the Bible was corrupted in order for the Church of Rome to create the Jesus-god (see http://TheTenWords.com ), the above words were added in order to seduce the followers of Mohammed into killing others in order to create an Islamic dynasty. Constantine did the same thing with the Christians (see http://Ebionite.com/prologue.htm ). And as someone who has many times incarnated in and out of this physical realm which Jesus portrayed as the "far country" in the parable of the Prodigal Son, let me also confirm to you that if you begin to live the life of Mohammed -- seeking the Distant Mosque in the Spiritual Mecca within you (see http://theway.nazirene.org/#muslim ) -- like many of the Sufis attempt to do -- you have it within your power to prove all things. And because all people have the innate ability to enter the Inner Kingdom ( http://GateOfEden.com ), all of us are responsible for our misdeeds (sins) of ignorance, because all we have to do is walk in TheWay ( http://TheWay.Nazirene.org ) -- and become a Living and Consecrated Temple ( http://Ebionite.com ). Which from the perspective of Islam, to fulfill the requirement for every Muslim to make the soul-journey to the Distant Mosque in the Spiritual Mecca within us (see http://theway.nazirene.org/#muslim ). The, and only the, can we overcome the error of this world -- as well as the corrupted scriptures of man -- and know the Truth by virtue of our own spiritual experiences. And what this means is that in the same way that Christians have been disenfranchised from the Truth by virtue of their corrupted scriptures and manmade pagan church doctrines, Muslims are basically in the same boat because of the corruption of the Qur'an that they are in denial of, and the fact that they have innocent blood on their hands. If this day, all Muslims repent from their violence, and embraced the Jews and Christians as brothers, all conflict would immediately cease -- and Islam could begin to fulfill its mantra as a religion of Peace. And if all Muslims began to teach others how to live the necessary Consecrated Life that enables them to enter within the Holy of Holies within themselves, and dwell within the Gates of Spiritual Jerusalem, Spiritual Mecca, or the Kingdom within, only then would your life be a worthy sacrifice to your God. And while you may reject my words, in the end they will come back to haunt you in ways that you cannot presently even imagine. So don't blame George Bush for what Islam is bringing back upon itself.

GodSpeed in TheWay,

Allan Cronshaw
