What Is It?

Whose World Is The Work Of The Demiurge?

While these questions may appear to be strange to the average person, they represent the missing key to understanding what exactly is being portrayed in the concept of the Demiurge.   And the essence that the questions set before the inquiring mind, presents the reality that each person sees and understands the world very different from others -- and this difference can be portrayed as part of the Tower of Babel Syndrome that few people understand (see http://DivineStrategery.com#babel ).   But herein lies the problem -- i.e., since few people actually understand the far reaching reality that is portrayed in the allegorical account of the Tower of Babel -- and, fewer yet to their own demise understand that the reality portrayed in the concept of the Demiurge, is merely an integral part of the Laws that bring about the Tower of Babel Syndrome -- then, typical of the vast majority of the lost prodigal sons, they remain shackled to ignorance because they judge what they don't understand the higher reality of.

In the same way that in the allegory of the tower of Babel, each person hears and is portrayed as speaking a different language than the other people -- and that these differences are brought about and maintained by the Laws of God -- so too does each person see the world differently, and these differences are brought about and maintained by the Laws of God.   What this means is that each persons present station in life, is the result of the Laws of God impressing upon them a certain predetermined mindset and vision of the world.   Therefore, each person hears a different language which speaks to their vision of both self and the world.   A liberal, is of a liberal mindset, because the Laws have brought about that condition of mind where he sees the world through a liberal mindset.   And this is not only true of a conservative, but also a Feminist, a homosexual, an Atheist, a Marxist, a Capitalist, as well as all the other countless differences that divide the thinking of mankind into schools of thought that are often in conflict with other schools of thought and philosophy.   And thus, the liberal does not see the world through the same eyes as the conservative, the Atheist, the secularist, the man of faith, as well as all the philosophical and religious differences that exist among mankind.    And that these philosophical differences which are often in conflict one with another, are brought about and maintained by lesser Laws which maintain these vast differences, from the allegorical account of the Tower of Babel represent the lesser Laws of God which are said to be an (individualized) world created by a Demiurge.

What is presented in the above goes to the very core of man's ignorance about life, which permits that Jesus portrayed as the "Citizen... of the Far Country" to totally control the thinking of the lost prodigal son (see http://DivineStrategery.com/#prodigal ).    And this same counterfeit vision of the world that mesmerizes each individual person -- shackling them to a world of illusions --  is what is being portrayed in the analogy of Plato's Cave (see http://DivineStrategery.com#Plato ).   The creator of the illusion through which each person sees the world, is what was called a Demiurge by the early Spiritual Christians who had accomplished what the Apostle Paul commanded, and had overcome this world and their lower nature which inhibits their perception and understanding (see http://gateofeden.com/#overcome ).   The world of illusion which shackles the lost prodigal son in the abyss of ignorance -- depriving him of his inheritance and spiritual birthright as the offspring of God -- is the effect of the lesser Laws which has created the world of illusion that holds each person captive in Plato's Cave.      

To man's own undoing, perhaps no other subject is so misrepresented and misunderstood -- not only by those who do not know, but also by those who think they know -- as the subject of what was historically called the Demiurge.   And in addition to the allegorical account of the Tower of Babel Syndrome, while the reality portrayed in the word and concept of a Demiurge can readily be seen in the Bible, few who dwell under the Power of the Demiurge are able to comprehend what is being conveyed.   From a purely Church perspective, the Key to understanding the reality of the Demiurge is presented in the words: "The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved" (II Th 2:9-10 NKJ).    With respect to the term "...lawless" -- which is used throughout the scriptures -- the Law that is being referenced is not the literal text of the Law of Moses -- the Law that is being presented is the Spiritual or Royal Law that is the bulwark of those who seek righteousness.   In the above statement by Paul, the "...love of the truth" portrays those who are willing to seek the Truth over the doctrines of men, and righteously live the Truth in word, thought, desire and deed.   And it is in the living and the seeking the Truth and TheWay, that the illusions imposed upon man by the Demiurge -- i.e., the Citizen of the Far Country -- is overcome.   With respect to the Church, it was predicted by Paul that the AntiChrist would rule over the Church, and he would be worshiped by those who called themselves Christians, as God (see Church Of The AntiChrist).   As demonstrated at this link, those who will worship Satan as God, will cling to the doctrines of men, and reject the original teachings and objectives of the Gospel -- i.e., writing on the second chapter of Thessalonians: "...We have the original word apostasia in our word apostasy; and by this term we understand a dereliction of the essential principles of religious truth, either a total abandonment of Christianity itself, or such a corruption of its doctrines as renders the whole system completely inefficient to salvation. But what this apostasy means is a question which has not yet, and perhaps never will be, answered to general satisfaction” (from the Adam Clarke Commentary).   

Why would it be predicted that the AntiChrist would rule over the Church which called itself Christian, and be worshiped by those who call themselves Christian, as God?   Like Nero who fiddles which Rome burns, those who call themselves Christian -- but are really CINO's (Christian In Name Only) -- remain under the control of the AntiChrist that Paul predicted would rule the Church -- and be worshiped as God.    The illusion that Satan and the AntiChrist is God, is presented in the words with respect to the blindness and inability of the Jews to see with the necessary spiritual eyes and understanding: “For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it” (Matt 13:15-17 NIV).    They could not see and understand, because they were inhibited by the Laws (of God) from perceiving and comprehending the higher reality that confronted them.  

The spiritual Christians maintained the the god of the literal text of the Jews was a Demiurge, and this was initially revealed to them by Paul -- and then confirmed when they were themselves freed from the illusion of what Paul called the god of this world.   In the same way that Jesus stated that they are blind and do not hear or understand, Paul warned that the New Covenant was spiritual, and freed the lost prodigal sons from the illusion of the "letter that killeth" (see http://Ebionite.com#defeat ): "And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.  But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.  Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.  Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Cor 3:13-17 KJV).

In the same way that Paul predicted that Satan would rule the Church, and would be worshiped as God, the Christian world dwells under the illusion of the god of this world -- i.e., the Demiurge which is the creator of illusions -- and has seduced even the elect of the Church into looking to what Paul called the "letter that killeth" -- and thus, like the Jews before them, the Christian world can't see through the vail of illusion.   And while they remain under the delusion that the vail was done away with, because they worship Satan instead of God, they remain blind and shackled to ignorance by what Jesus portrayed as the "Citizen... of the Far Country".    And because they have been spiritually slain by the "letter that killeth" (see http://Ebionite.com#defeat ), they fail to comprehend the words of Paul that "...the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" 

To understand why Paul made the prediction that those who called themselves Christian would worship Satan as God -- and why Jesus warned that the AntiChrist would fool the very elect of the Church -- it is necessary to understand the allegorical account of the Tower of Babel.   In this account from Genesis (see http://DivineStrategery.com#babel ), wherein the people were attempting to build a tower that reached into the heavens, the Laws of God were invoked to inhibit them in their efforts to build the Tower.   Why?   Because they attempted to build their Tower using only earthly matter, and their objective was to raise up this Tower to reach the heavens of this world.   And herein lies the problem -- i.e., in the same way that Jesus told the Pharisees that the Kingdom would never come upon the earth so as to be seen by men (Luke 17:20-21) -- because it has always been at hand, and was portrayed as the Kingdom of the Father that each of the prodigal sons abandoned when they ventured into this, the Far Country.    And that the lost prodigal sons don't remember their own more distant past, is because they have been cast into the prison that Jesus warned about (see http://DivineStrategery.com#ThePrison ) -- and they presently dwell in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see http://DivineStrategery.com#OuterDarkness ).   And that the lost prodigal sons fail to recognize that they are spiritually blind and do not perceive -- and it is the Power of the Lesser Laws of God that has brought this condition of spiritual blindness about -- i.e., “For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere: ‘He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts’” (John 12:37-40 NIV).   And this condition of blindness and suppressed perception and comprehension will continue to be imposed upon the prodigal sons, so long as they continue to cling to the Citizen of the Far Country -- dwelling under the illusion created by the Demiurge.   Therefore, the Kingdom of the Father from which each of us has journeyed out of, must be sought within one's self --  what is earthly must be used as a foundation that enables the seeker to journey within one's own mind and being, where they will find the "narrow gate" of TheWay opening unto them.   And by using the Key of Knowledge to open the inner "narrow gate", they can then enter in the Kingdom (see http://GateOfEden.com ) and learn directly from the voice of the Lord. 

While carnal men who are subject to the Tower of Babel Syndrome and the illusion of the Demiurge reject this teaching of an inner Kingdom that the lost prodigal sons can re-enter, this is exactly what is portrayed in the words: "The LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. For the LORD will again rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers, if you obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.  For this commandment which I command you today, it is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off.  It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?'  Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?'  But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.  See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil,  in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.  But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess.  I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live" (Deut 30:9-19 NKJ).  

What is being conveyed is the necessity to fulfill the Law and Keep the Commandments -- seeking the Royal Law that is presented in the inner reality that "...But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it."    Thus, with the proper application of what Jesus called the Key of Knowledge, the written Law must be used as a catalyst to seek the Spiritual Word that is written in your heart.   And it is this inner reality that Paul presented in the words: "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.  None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.  In that He says, 'A new covenant,' He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away" (Heb 8:10-13 NKJ).

What Christians fail to realize is the fact that the inner core of Spiritual Jews were themselves Enlightened to these same concepts presented by Paul -- and they understood that the written word of the Mosaic Law, was merely a catalyst that was an allegorical shadow of the Royal Law -- and this Royal Law that is the essence of New Covenant teachings, portrays the Law that is written within all people.   As an example of these Spiritual Jews, I give you the accounts of Rabbi Isaac Luria and Rabbi Yisrael Ben Eliezer (see http://TheThreeLies.com#Isaac ).   And to understand that what is portrayed as the Logos (Mind of God), or the Son of God which is portrayed by the Apostle Peter as the True Prophet (see TrueProphet ) dwells in the heart of all of mankind as seen in the words: "...For He is within the mind of every one of us, but in those who have no desire of the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He is inoperative; but He works in those who seek after that which is profitable to their souls, and kindles in them the light of knowledge. Wherefore seek Him first of all; and if you do not find Him, expect not that you shall learn anything from any other. But He is soon found by those who diligently seek Him through love of the truth, and whose souls are not taken possession of by wickedness".   The only means to find and learn from the Indwelling Logos/Son of God/True Prophet, is to live one's live in strict accord with the Commandments of God, and seek the Inner Kingdom.    

When Paul writes that the essence of the New Covenant is to bring about that condition where "...None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother" -- this is because both the Law and the Gospel are Spiritual -- and what is written is intended to be a catalyst to open the inner "narrow gate" to the Kingdom.   This Divine Knowledge or Manna that is imparted to the righteous disciple who seeks the inner Kingdom, in the Greek language is called Gnosis.    And in the same way that the carnal Jews known as the Pharisees and Sadducees rejected this essential teaching of the historical Jesus, the Christians and the religious and secular authorities of this world, continue to reject these essential spiritual teachings today.   Thus, because they attempt to employ only earthly reasoning in the building of their tower, they dwell under the Laws that not only inhibits their vision and understand to that of the illusions of this world -- and these Laws that according to the scriptures blinds them and makes them deaf, is what is portrayed as the Demiurge.

In reference to the predictions of Paul with respect to the "...lawless", he warns that "...And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie" (II Th 2:11 NKJ).   And it is these Laws of the Left Hand of God that is the creator of the delusion of the unrighteous and lawless.   So, it is not that this world was created by a Demiurge -- but rather, it is the Laws of Correction that blinds and limits the vision and understanding of those who live in accord with what Jesus portrayed as the "Citizen... of the Far Country" in the parable of the prodigal son.   

 

In what may on the surface initially appear to be a divergence from the primary religious and spiritual theme of this article, it is important to demonstrate that modern science has not only proven the validity of Mysticism, but that the objective of all religions is the acquisition of Gnosis -- or the Divine Manna of the Kingdom of God.   The historical record demonstrates the perpetual struggle between the vision of the Spiritual Mystic who seeks to learn directly from God -- the Gnostic who makes claim to spiritual insights that the common believers who have traditionally called themselves Orthodox, are blind to.   And the fact that only now, in our present time, has modern science been able to shed light on the controversy, is of a primary importance to those seekers of Truth.  The Church Father Origen who was esteemed as the greatest Christian authority after the disciples, portrayed those who could believe the absurdities of the written word of the scriptures as being historically and spiritually true, to be simpleminded idiots.   The Church Historian Eusebius portrays these people who are so gullible, as men of small intellect.   Once rightly understood, the scriptures were in fact expressly composed in such a way so that people of a rational and intelligent mind will reject the written word of the quasi-historical narrative which Origen portrays as "worthless", and seek the deeper meaning of mind, soul and spirit.    And that the critics and Atheists have long ignored the witness of the most knowledgeable of religious men, and have continually chosen to disparage the ignorant blind believer, is not only evidence of their own folly, but proof of their intellectual bankruptcy. On September 8th, 2008, I made a Blog entry entitled: Reply: The God Who Wasn't There.   And because of it's importance to the questions raised in this present article, I will copy and make further relevant comments below:      Reply: The God Who Wasn't There Greetings Hal: In reading about your DVD entitled The God Who Wasn't There, there is an important element to the equation that is totally absent from what you are presenting -- and that element is the fact that the scriptures were written by Gnostic Mystics -- composed for those who seek the Ebionite Nazirene path of TheWay.  And what this means is that none of the people you interviewed -- whether they are true believers (Fundamentalists), accepted scholars and historians, or any variety of philosophers and clergy -- all the opinions and positions that you present is mere speculation, because the people you interviewed neither understand the original objective of the scriptures, or the spiritual language of the soul that the scriptures are written in. Like all such spiritual writings, the Gospels emphatically state that the personage of Jesus did not openly reveal what was called the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God to the multitude of people -- i.e., "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). To the degree that Paul, who had been taken up into the Kingdom, stated that without the transformation of the lower nature that is essential to the mystical path of TheWay, that the believers will look upon the Mysteries of the Kingdom as "foolishness" ( http://DivineManna.org#literal ). Which means that even in my attempt to explain the mass confusion with respect to those who attempt to read the scriptures without having brought about the necessary spiritual transformation of the lower nature, the very words that I express will be rejected and seen as "foolishness". Paul portrayed the written word of the scriptures as the "letter that killeth" (see http://Ebionite.com/defeat.htm ). Why? It is impossible to understand the inner spiritual meaning of the scriptures, without the transformation, opening and Anointing of the mind of the disciple -- i.e., "Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures" (Luke 24:45).  And the fact that the Pharisees had thrown away what Jesus called the Key of Knowledge ( http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ), and attempted to read the scriptures without first bringing about the necessary spiritual transformation and this opening and enlightenment of the mind, is why Jesus portrayed them as the offspring of the Devil -- i.e., "Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it" (John 8:43-44 NKJ).  And once you begin to truly understand what is being portrayed in the above words, all the authorities who you have interviewed not only study the written word of the scriptures "...from [their] own (carnal organic) resources -- but that they each fail to understand that they are "...speak[ing] from [their] own resources" -- and thus, the whole framework of their thinking is drawn from a mindset that parallels that of the Pharisees who Jesus condemned as not understanding the true meaning of the scriptures. To even begin to understand what I have presented to you in the above, and why Jesus portrayed the Torah Observant Pharisees as the offspring of the Devil, you must first understand why Jesus commanded: “But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren” (Matt 23:8 NKJ).  And it is in this one very important statement that neither believer, nonbeliever, clergy, scholar or critic understands, that is the paramount cause of their error and folly. Who is the One Teacher? Among the original Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus who were condemned by both the Jews and the Christians, the One Teacher was portrayed as the True Prophet ( http://TheThreeLies.com#TrueProphet ) -- and it was warned that only those who become the "good ground" in the parable of the Sower and the Seed, can be taught by the True Prophet -- to the degree that they can themselves become Anointed (Messiah/Christ)-- i.e., "These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him" (1 Jn 2:26-29 NKJ). The necessary "...practice [of] righteousness" has absolutely nothing in common with the blind belief of manmade Church doctrines which is promoted by Christians today -- but rather, the very thinking, lifestyle and mindset of the sincere seeker who strives to do as Jesus taught, and seek the Kingdom (within). It has been speculated that those writings known as the Clementine Homilies (the disciple of the Apostle Peter), represents the original Ebionite Nazirene teachings which have long been suppressed by the Church -- and it is in these writings that the above reference to the One Teacher is explained by Peter where it is written: "And therefore I advise not only wise men, but indeed all men who have a desire of knowing what is advantageous to them, that they seek after the true Prophet; for it is He alone who knoweth all things, and who knoweth what and how every man is seeking. For He is within the mind of every one of us, but in those who have no desire of the knowledge of God and His righteousness, He is inoperative; but He works in those who seek after that which is profitable to their souls, and kindles in them the light of knowledge. Wherefore seek Him first of all; and if you do not find Him, expect not that you shall learn anything from any other. But He is soon found by those who diligently seek Him through love of the truth, and whose souls are not taken possession of by wickedness. For He is present with those who desire Him in the innocence of their spirits, who bear patiently, and draw sighs from the bottom of their hearts through love of the truth; but He deserts malevolent minds, because as a prophet He knows the thoughts of every one. And therefore let no one think that he can find Him by his own wisdom, unless, as we have said, he empty his mind of all wickedness, and conceive a pure and faithful desire to know Him. For when any one has so prepared himself, He Himself as a prophet, seeing a mind prepared for Him, of His own accord offers Himself to his knowledge”. And this was the very reason that Yeshua stated to the Pharisees that the Kingdom would never come upon the earth in the manner that carnal men look for it -- for it is within you (Luke 17:20-21) -- which reality is further detailed at http://GateOfEden.com ). While your authorities correctly state that: "The Jesus of the Gospels bears a striking resemblance to other ancient heroes and the figureheads of pagan savior cults" -- and while this is a typical statement by countless scholars and historians, because they each fail to understand both the objective of the scriptures, as well as the language of the soul the scriptures are written in -- they all arrive at an equally flawed conclusion. And once this flawed conclusion is understood, their error is equal to those who you portray as the "Contemporary Christians [who] are largely ignorant of the origins of their religion." But this same warning was presented from a very different perspective in the words: “Biblical scholars were not disturbed by what they found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known all along that the origin of Christianity was not what was commonly supposed to have been” (A. Powell Davies quoted by Millar Burrows in More Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls). The problem that the scholars who note the "...striking resemblance to other ancient heroes and the figureheads of pagan savior cults", is seen in the fact that the accounts of these other ancient heroes are also written in the language of the soul, and neither are these other religions which are put forth as "...figureheads of pagan savior cults" understood with any greater depth, than the mystical Gnostic accounts of the New Testament. The great Truth that none of the culturally accepted experts, scholars, clergy or philosophers have all failed to understand, is the fact that regardless of the ancient religious tradition, the inner core and scriptural authors of each of these ancient religions, were all confronted by the profound reality that the mind of organic man which Paul portrays as being of a "natural" consciousness ( http://DivineManna.org#literal ), is incapable of understanding the higher reality of the soul and what Jesus portrayed as the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God.  Which means that in all cases, not only were each of these authors and core religious groups incapable of portraying in the common language of their cultures the Truth that they knew -- but that each of these religious groups had to employ the mystic language of the soul, in order to convey essential Truths to those who understood the objectives of the scriptures, and the application of what Jesus called the Key of Knowledge ( http://KeyOfKnowledge.org ). The Common Theme and core of all religions at their essence that is not understood by the outer body of believers, is portrayed in the parable of the Prodigal Son -- which in many respects, parallels the analogy of Plato's Cave (see http://DivineStrategery.com#Plato -- or, what is presented in the completion of the cycle from the Alpha to the Omega as portrayed in Jewish Mysticism in the Zohar: “All souls are subject to the trials of transmigration; and men do not know the designs of the Most High with regard to them… The souls must re-enter the absolute substance whence they have emerged. But to accomplish this end they must develop all the perfections, the germ of which is planted in them; and if they have not fulfilled this condition during one life, they must commence another, a third, and so forth, until they have acquired the condition which fits them for reunion with God”. That the vast majority of people are totally ignorant of not only the true meaning of the scriptures, but also the higher reality of their own souls and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God, is because they dwell in what Jesus portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being (see http://DivineStrategery.com#OuterDarkness ). Thus, the common symbols of all religions, represent the universal journey of the soul that only a handful of seekers ever truly come to understand the reality of. That these symbols employed in the scriptures are themselves universal, is portrayed by G.R.S. Mead in his book entitled Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, where this explanation is put forth: “…what the Gnostics projected onto the screen… [in the form of a ] picture of the universe was in reality a picture of their own minds. Its mythology is a symbolic portrayal, almost a deliberate one, of the forces which operate in the structuring and evolution of the human personality”. And it was for this reason that Carl Jung called the Gnostic Christians the worlds first and foremost psychologists who understood the very fabric of human consciousness. Moreover, while the body of believes don't themselves understand the inner spiritual reality of the scriptures, they are led to believe and embrace them, because the universal symbols used in the written narrative of the scriptures act as a catalyst which connects them to an inner reality of soul and spirit that they don't yet comprehend with any depth of understanding. What all these religious traditions share in common, is that the inner spiritually enlightened core were all turned upon and murdered (see http://Ebionite.com/prologue.htm ), and their scriptures which were promoted by unenlightened priests, politicians and institutionalized religion, were very quickly corrupted (see http://BibleCorruption.com ). Few people ever come to understand the Laws ( http://DivineStrategery.com#TheLaws ) which hold them spellbound in the illusion of Plato's Cave -- which Jesus portrayed as a type of prison. And it is for this reason that the Apostle Peter in the Homilies warns with respect to the True Prophet that Jesus portrayed as the One Teacher: “Hence, O beloved Clement", proclaims Peter, “if you would know the things pertaining to God, you have to learn them from Him alone, because He alone knows the truth. For if any one else knows anything, he has received it from Him or from His disciples”. And the philosophical and theological premise that all your quoted authorities (pro and con) begin on, is that Jesus was wrong and did not know what he was saying. All those who escape the illusion of Plato's Cave , come to understand the journey of the soul from the Alpha of absolute ignorance, to the Omega of Enlightened Light and Knowledge, which must be accomplished over the course of many lifetimes. And the fact that this essential teaching was removed and outlawed from Christianity, is easily demonstrated (see http://ChristianReincarnation.org ). And once the mystical path of TheWay is truly understood -- and the fact that the escape from the illusion of Plato's Cave is through an inner dimension of mind -- only then can the sincere seeker begin to understand the reason why Jesus taught the necessity of living the Consecrated Life in TheWay -- seeking to transform yourself into what is portrayed by AskMoses.com as the Final Temple (see http://TheThreeLies.com#temple ) -- and this will enable you to enter within the Holy of Holies within you, and learn from the True Prophet who will not only open and Anoint your mind and understanding, but will reveal all the Mysteries of life, the soul, and the Kingdom to the few who prepare themselves to make the journey. And that those who are quoted in the DVD The God Who Was Not have not themselves made the necessary journey in TheWay -- and themselves dwell under the illusion of Plato's cave and the "outer darkness", is the reason why they fail to understand the the historical Jesus was a man who overcame the Laws within himself, and achieved Absolute Unity with the Logos of God. GodSpeed in TheWay, Brother of Yeshua   As evidence of their own ignorance, Atheists, and people of a linear mindset, are of the impression that religions are concocted in people's minds, in order to explain away phenomena that they don't understand.    In a high school text book, I observed that Buddhism was portrayed as being superior to Hinduism because it wasn't as pagan, but in this school text book Buddhism was faulted for "having borrowed the belief in reincarnation from Hinduism".     While I am not in any way a Buddhist, what I found objectionable was the secularized Atheistic spin that was presented to the students -- and we see this often in the secular Atheistic position that religions merely borrow beliefs from other religions, in order to explain away phenomena.   In fact, I directly address this folly in my Blog article which is a reply to the DVD entitled, The God Who Wasn't There .    Contrary to the folly of their thinking, the similarities between the exoteric allegorical scriptures of all religions is not the result of borrowing religious beliefs -- but rather, the fact that all religions have the same spiritual objective -- and the fact that they are all striving to overcome the same universal Laws and limitations of consciousness, mind and being, within themselves.     Science Proves The Gnostic Vision: Quoting at the link http://UnityOfMind.org#blemish : In his book, Urbausteine der Materie, physicist Walter Thirring wrote about matter that modern physics “...has put our thinking about the essence of matter in a different context.   It has taken our gaze from the visible - the particles - to the underlying entity, the field.   The presence of matter is merely a disturbance of the perfect state of the field at that place; something accidental, one could almost say, a ‘blemish’.   Accordingly, there are no simple laws describing the forces between elementary particles… Order and symmetry must be sought in the underlying field.”   One of the primary realities that science has to come to terms with in order to advance beyond their present level, is the fact that physical matter is the result of the forces in the Etheric Field coming together, causing what Walter Thirring describes as a "blemish" that we observe with our organic physical senses.   And what this is, is Darwinism in reverse -- i.e., the Field is the Source which impresses the aspect of mind and consciousness into the form of matter that we observe.   The problem is that to the organic mind of both the faith-based believer, as well as the Atheist, what modern science has proven is simply beyond their ability to even contemplate.   Quoting at the link http://UnityOfMind.org#GreatMind : In his 1951 textbook on quantum theory, Bohm offered some interesting speculations on the analogies between quantum processes and thought processes, thus carrying further the celebrated statement made by the astronomer James Jeans two decades earlier: “Today there is a wide measure of agreement… that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine”; and the statement by astronomer Arthur Eddington:  “The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff”.   More recently, cyberneticist David Foster described “an intelligent universe” whose apparent concreteness is generated by cosmic data from an unknowable, organized source.   The holographic theory says that: “…our brains mathematically construct hard reality by interpreting frequencies from a dimension transcending time and space.   The brain is a hologram, interpreting a holographic universe.”   This is why Mystics who have walked the spiritual path in search of Gnosis and the Divine Manna or the Kingdom, have traditionally warned others that what they see with their physical eyes -- i.e., the objects that appear to their organic mind as being concrete and solid matter -- is merely an illusion.    And thus it is this world of illusion that is created by the limitations of each person's own mind that is portrayed by the Gnostics as the Demiurge of a counterfeit creator, and it the illusion that man must escape in the analogy of Plato's Cave .   And just as important is the statement at the link http://UnityOfMind.org#illusion : In a February 1979 Psychology Today interview with brain scientist Karl Pribram, the world which he attempted to describe confirmed the vision witnessed by the Hebrew prophet and confirmed in the Bible: “It isn’t that the world of appearances is wrong; it isn’t that there aren’t objects out there, at one level of reality.   It’s that if you penetrate through and look at the universe with a holographic system, you arrive at a different reality, one that can explain things that have hitherto remained scientifically inexplicable: paranormal phenomena… synchronicities, the apparently meaningful coincidence of events”.   What this confirms is the fact that the objects in the outer world that we observe with our physical senses, are in reality allegorical symbols of mind impressed into the forms of matter by the forces in the underlying Etheric Field -- and the forms that we observe, represents a psychic/mental impression of the thought form of mind that it denotes to our own, and the Universal Consciousness.   And this is why, while Eastern mysticism portrays matter as an illusion, Western Gnosticism understands that the illusion is more factually an allusion.   Which means that a dog, appears to us in that physical forum, because of the underlying aspect of mind and consciousness that is represented in the form of a dog.   And a swine, is a swine, because of the underlying aspect of mind and consciousness that is represented in the form of the swine.   From a biblical perspective, the swine is an unclean animal, because of the thought-pattern and consciousness that is represented in the (allegorical) form of the swine as presented to our organic senses.   And this is true of all the forms that we observe in the outer world -- and especially the human body, which is an allegorical blueprint of our own minds impressed into the forms that make up the body-vessel in which we dwell.  And the fact that these universal (allegorical) symbols of mind which are impressed into the forms of nature, is the basis of why it appears that religions borrow beliefs from other religions (see http://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/2008/09/reply-god-who-wasnt-there.html ).         Mystics are those who seek to become spiritual scientists.   If, as astronomer Arthur Eddington states, that “The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff” -- then the only way to explore beyond the borders of this world of illusion, is to develop one's own mind to pierce the cloak that limits the physical sensed of organic man to the three dimensions of this world.    And it is the voice of the Mystic that has perpetually stated to the rest of mankind: If you want to see and know that I have seen and know, then you have to do and accomplish that I have myself done with my own mind and life!   And the fact that one of the objectives of the Mystic is to observe this world from a point just outside of the illusion of physical matter, in many ways it is the Mystic who has proven the assertion of the modern physicist who has stated that "...The presence of matter is merely a disturbance of the perfect state of the field at that place; something accidental, one could almost say, a ‘blemish’." (see above).   The Mystic has therefore found that with the right training and discipline, that he can move into "...the perfect state of the field", and observe this world from the perspective of the Etheric Field -- i.e., the source, rather than the illusion of the symbolism of what man's sees as concrete matter.   With respect to the perception of the physical senses and limited understanding of the organic mind of carnal man, Jesus said of those of his disciples who followed in TheWay: “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 KJV).   Why did Jesus warn that the senses and understanding of organic man "...see, and not perceive"?   Why did they "...hear, and not understand”?   Because, unlike the spiritual man -- i.e., the Gnostic who walks the mystical path of TheWay -- the organic mind of man is blind to not only the realities in what the modern scientist has demonstrated to be the Etheric Field that is the source of all the forums of this world -- and that the Gnostic sees what organic man is blind to, and understands the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom, because he has removed the beam from his own eyes, that he may see what others are blind to: "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?  Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye" (Matt 7:3-5 RSV).    The Gospel is in fact a declaration that while all men have the potential to open their mind and senses to the higher reality beyond the three-dimensional limitations of this world that the Gnostic has long portrayed as an illusion that is an allusion, few people are actually willing to live the Consecrated Life that Jesus taught was necessary to Expand and prepare the mind to be Anointed, that enables the person to see and understand the higher reality of all things -- both in this world, and beyond.   And while pseudo-religious men and pseudo-intellectuals have attempted to dismiss the mystical Gnostic foundations of all religions, modern science has succeeded in breaking through the barrier of ignorance with which organic man has immersed himself in the illusion of doctrinal and philosophical confusion.    And the fact that modern science has now begun to open the door that proves the fundamental truths that the teachings of Jesus and the Gnostic foundations of religion has long expressed -- scientific truths that are presented at http://UnityOfMind.org --  indicates that if the scientist now wishes to begin to prove his own findings beyond his present state of maturity, then he will have to begin to listen more intently to Mystics, and especially True Gnostics, who have not limited themselves to the fossilized thinking of man's past -- i.e.,  “The present scientific establishment has grown somewhat fossilized by its current world picture and is locked into a view of reality that has outlived its usefulness.  It has begun to limit mankind’s growth and has so increased its sense of specialization, separateness, materiality, and mechanical computer-like functioning that it is in real danger of self-extermination” (William A. Tiller, Materials Sciences Department, Stanford University). Science has proven that the world is not what it appears to be to the physical senses of the body -- and those who were declared heretics throughout history, were often the few who were right.

 

Jesus Said: The God Of The Jews Was The Devil

And Because The Church Has Embraced The Way of the Jews

The Devil Is The Christian God Today!

Jesus said that the God of the Jews was the Devil.  Paul called the reading of the literal written word of the Old Testament in the manner that Fundamentalist do today the "letter that killeth" -- meaning that it is the path to spiritual death.   In the writings of his disciple Clement, Peter called the Old Testament written word the "...books with the power to deceive".   And the Jewish mystic who spends his life seeking the inner meaning of the written word that the natural mind of man is incapable of seeing, has warned: "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 quoted in No Jew Has Read The Torah).   The Church Father Origen proclaimed those who are so gullible to believe the literal written word of the Old Testament idiots!   Peter said what appears to be historical never happened.   Paul called the literal text an allegory.   

In the exact same manner as the enlightened Jewish Rabbi's, the early Christian Church Father Origen writes: “It is sufficient however, to represent in the style of a historic narrative what is intended to convey a secret meaning in the garb of history, that those who have the capacity may work out for themselves all that relates to the subject.”   And with regard to what would otherwise be historical symbols and events that would appear to us as the knowledge of superficial episodes of the past, Origen writes: “I believe that every man must hold these things for images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed” (Origen - Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p. 142). Students of Hebrew Mysticism will perceive that what the third-century Christian Church Father Origen wrote was no different than what is contained in the Zohar, where it states: “The narratives of the doctrine are its cloak.   The simple look only on the garment, that is upon the narrative of the doctrine; more they know not.   The instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but what the cloak covers”.  

These great truths are again demonstrated in the words of Moses Maimonedes, one of the most respected of Jewish theologians, historian, and Talmudist, where he writes about the nature of scripture: “Every time that you find in our books a tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of the spirit”.   These same truths are again conveyed to us in the words of the Church Historian Eusebius: “Many were led astray by reading the allegorical contents of the scriptures literally in the method of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”.   What these symbols truly mean is perhaps best expressed by G.R.S. Mead in his celebrated work, Fragments of a Faith Forgotten, where he explained that, once properly understood, the true meaning of what is “…projected onto the screen…” of the scriptures, “…was in reality a picture of their [man’s] own minds”.   In view of the fact that Yeshua himself taught that the Kingdom of God is within us (Luke 17:20-21), that the scriptures were in fact a blueprint of man’s own mind begins to make a great deal of sense.  

What Moses Maimonedes is stating, then, is that there exists many parts of the scriptures that are literally and historically not true.  Isn't Paul stating this exact same truth when he writes to the Galatians who are attempting to embrace Jewish ritualistic ways, and states: “Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?” And then Paul goes on to explain to those who want to attempt to read the written word literally, in an historical context as Christians do today: “For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory” (Gal 4:21-24 KJV). 

That the Jew who remained of a natural carnal mindset could not see beyond the symbols of the allegory, and their eyes and hearts were hardened so they could not comprehend the true meaning of the scriptures, is readily understood where Paul states that “their minds were blinded” by God, “for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament… even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart” (2 Cor 3:14-15 KJV).  The time has come for this vail to be removed from the eyes of all Jews.  What modern non-Jews fail to realize today, is the reality that all men of the flesh are equally blind to the Truth Torah of God!

From a spiritual perspective, when the Jews worship the god of the literal word -- with rituals, animal sacrifices, incense, in a temple made with the hands of men, it can truly be said that the Jews worshiped a false god.  And what was it that the scriptures used by the Jews said: "The multitude of your sacrifices-- what are they to me? says the LORD. I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations-- I cannot bear your evil assemblies. Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow" (Isa 1:11-17 NIV).

Why does the Most High God take no pleasure in rituals, sacrifices, incense, Sabbaths and New Moon festivals?  In the words of the Church Father Origen: “I believe that every man must hold these things for images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed.”  And in the words of Paul:  "Which things are an allegory.”   And in the words of the Jewish Mystic: “The narratives of the doctrine are its cloak.   The simple look only on the garment, that is upon the narrative of the doctrine; more they know not.   The instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but what the cloak covers”.

The Devil -- The God Of The Jews!

The Early Spiritual Christians Called The God Of The Jews A Demiurge

Judaism is one of the last surviving ancient mystery religions -- and what is a mystery religion?   When Paul wrote: “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) -- what he was making reference to was the inability of man in his natural state of mind to even begin to envision man's own higher spiritual reality that is beyond even the contemplation of his imagination.   And this is why Paul warned that while he could only tell the baptized and confirmed believers at Corinth about Jesus and him crucified, he could in no manner convey to them the inner knowledge and mysteries of the Gospel -- i.e., “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).  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).  

When Paul was taken up into the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21), he said that he saw “…things so astounding that they are beyond a man's power to describe or put in words…” -- and warned that those who are permitted to gaze upon the Mysteries of the Kingdom, will have witnessed a higher reality that will be so profound, that they will “…not [be] allowed to tell them to others” (2 Cor 12:4 TLB).   And Paul warned those who are under the grave misconception that they can simply read the literal text of the scriptures and ascertain the Word of God, that they were greatly deceived -- i.e., “And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know” (1 Cor 8:2 NKJ).   For if it were possible for a man to simply open the scriptures and be able to discern the Truth and Reality that was beyond natural human comprehension, Jesus would not have said of his disciples: “For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it” (Matt 13:17 NIV).   

Surely, if the natural mind of man was capable of understanding, the prophets and righteous men of old could have opened the scriptures and learned the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God -- but as Paul confirmed, such a thing was impossible.   And it was for this reason that Jesus had to open the minds of his disciples to the inner meaning of the scriptures -- i.e., "Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures" (Luke 24:45 KJV) -- but if the inner revelation of the scriptures was limited to the testimony of "...Jesus Christ, and him crucified" (1 Cor 2:2 KJV) -- but the spiritual revelation that can only be revealed to the mind of those who are mature, and have undergone the process of spiritual transformation: "However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,  which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.' But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 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. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 'who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?' But we have the mind of Christ" (1 Cor 2:6-16 NKJ).

The Demiurge -- God Of The Jews: The earliest Christians affirmed these words of Paul, and stated that the god of the Jews of a natural mind was a lesser god, and not the God of Jesus -- and what was being made reference to, was the lesser Laws of the Left Hand of Correction which blinded those in what Jesus called the "outer darkness" ( http://DivineStrategery.com#OuterDarkness ) in a world of illusion.   And because most Christians lack insight into the manner in which the scriptures are written, they make the fatal mistake of judging what they don't understand.    Once properly understood, it was for good reason that the Spiritual Christians who were the disciples of Paul called the god of the Jews a Demiurge -- a lesser god.   In full agreement, Jesus said that these ritually Torah observant keepers of the Law worship the Devil -- "Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it" (John 8:43-44 NKJ).  

The later Church of Rome condemned the Spiritual Christians because they said that the god of the Jews was not the God of Jesus -- and in the above Jesus confirms that position to be true.   And in the same way, because the modern Christians have all been shackled to the worship of the same lesser god of the Left Hand, what Jesus said to them is true of the Christians today.   And because people fail to comprehend the nature of what Peter describes as the Mystery of the Books that have the power to deceive -- wherein, the Left Hand which is the karmic-corrective Mosaic Law of Retribution which is portrayed in the literal text, while it is the inner Spirit that reveals the Right Hand that heals and frees men from the karmic shackles of their own past -- in worshiping the god of the literal, they worship the devil.   But because they lack an understanding of the manner in which the scriptures are composed in the language of the soul, the vast majority of Christians reject the Spirit and embrace the letter that killeth -- and thereby worship the Demiurge of the Pharisees.    

The Church Of The AntiChrist

The Prediction That Satan Would Rule The Church: In total disregard of the admonition of the scriptures themselves, the greater majority of Christians believe that the church is beyond the reach of Satan -- that God somehow drew a line that Satan cannot cross over -- and because of this force of Divine protection, Satan has not immersed himself in every aspect of their lives!  Yet, to their own detriment, the leaders of the modern church ignore the warning of the Apostle: “let no man beguile you in any wise: for (it will not be,) except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God” (2 Thes 2:3-4 ASV).    

What the Apostle is herein very clearly predicting is that there would come a time when the god of the Christian Church will be a false god.   Historically speaking, it has been almost universally recognized that the period in time that the Apostle could have been referring to was in the fourth century when the church made a covenant with the Roman Emperor Constantine.   With regard to this falling away, the Adam Clark Commentary writes of this passage of Paul's Epistle: “[Except there come a falling away first] We have the original word apostasia in our word apostasy; and by this term we understand a dereliction of the essential principles of religious truth, either a total abandonment of Christianity itself, or such a corruption of its doctrines as renders the whole system completely inefficient to salvation. But what this apostasy means is a question which has not yet, and perhaps never will be, answered to general satisfaction” (from the Adam Clarke Commentary).    

Not to depreciate or make less the significance of any one of the individual statements presented in the above words, what the modern believer must recognized is the far-reaching totality of the statement: “But what this apostasy means is a question which has not yet, and perhaps never will be, answered to general satisfaction”.   Ultimately, what this means to the modern believer is that each and every church authority from the fourth-century to the present, as well as every single preacher of the gospel, speaks from the position of concession -- which concession is that there is a great void in their knowledge of the truth.   Thus, one of the core presumptions upon which our present-day doctrine of faith is based, is that these words of the Apostle Paul are not true.        One of the major causes of the present state of doctrinal chaos is the failure of modern pastors and church authorities to recognize that the key to their dilemma is found in the prediction of the Apostle that there would come a time of total abandonment of the Gospel with respect to the desolation of all genuine spiritual Christian ideas and concepts.   

What this means is that the Apostle predicts that in the near future, the true religion of Jesus would cease to exist in this world.   In this respect, the words of the Apostle are quite clear in their assertion -- i.e., from the time period of the first century of our Common Era when it was written by the hand of Paul, it prophetically speaks of a time in the near future when the teachings that Yeshua placed in the hands of mankind would cease to exist -- and it is the correct assertion of many Christians that this in fact took place in the establishment of an institutionalized church under the control of Pagan Rome in the fourth century.     What the modern Christian fails to realize is that the total corruption of the doctrine of the church which the Apostle speaks of was in fact brought about by the adoption of the Christ of Constantine, which resulted in the rejection of the Messiah Yeshua of Nazareth.   While it is true that believers use the name Jesus, and call themselves his followers, what Christians have lost sight of is that the essence of the religion of the New Covenant is spiritual -- and where the physical body of Messiah/Christ was crucified by the carnal Jews in the first century, the spiritual body of Messiah/Christ was crucified in the fourth century.    

In further explanation with regard to this crucial prediction of the Apostle, the Adam Clark Commentary then goes on to provide us a vivid description of Constantine and the formation of his new church: “[Who opposeth and exalteth] He stands against and exalts himself above all divine authority, and above every object of adoration, and every institution, relative to divine worship, sebasma, himself being the source, whence must originate all the doctrines of religion, and all its rites and ceremonies; so that sitting in the temple of God -- having the highest place and authority in the Christian church, he acts as God -- taking upon himself God's titles and attributes, and arrogating to himself the authority that belongs to the Most High” (from the Adam Clarke Commentary).   That these events came to pass is well documented from a historical perspective -- i.e., the church was ruled by Satanic forces that dictated every aspect of Christian doctrine.   And while it is true that many faithful believers, clergy, pastors and religious authorities today have recognized the defilement of the church that took place beginning in the fourth century, what could not be revealed until now was the absolute certainty that, because the Church has never fully recovered from the darkness and corruption that was imposed upon the teachings of the church by the ruthless political despots of the past, essential foundational principles, as well as indispensable elements of New Covenant knowledge of what is constantly referred to in the Bible as the Mysteries of God, is presently absent from the thinking of the body of the faithful believers to this very day.    

Satan Speaks To The Christian Elect

The Apostle warned: "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph 6:12 NKJ).   From a biblical perspective, the supernatural being referred to by Paul as Satan, who the Apostle refers to as the god of this realm, easily speaks to Christians and impersonates God, Yeshua, or an angelic being, and thus successfully gains control over the thinking of the religious people of any given generation by speaking to their imagination.   What does this mean?   He begins the process by inspiring within them a vision of a kingdom that is to come at some later time.   Where Yeshua preached that the Kingdom is here -- at hand, and could be entered through a change of mind -- the forces of darkness blinds the hearts and minds of the believer to the Kingdom that is already present and has been set before them.   The result is that the Prince of Darkness continues to rule over the hearts and minds of the believers because, in their state of spiritual complacency, they continue to live in accordance with the culture of this world, and never actually take up their crosses and follow in the footsteps of Yeshua.   And while they think they are different than the unbeliever, often it is found that they are different only in the words they speak. Thus, while they believe and have faith, their faith is misdirected.   In failing to recognize the warning of Paul with respect to the total “…dereliction of the essential principles of religious truth, either a total abandonment of Christianity itself, or such a corruption of its doctrines as renders the whole system completely inefficient to salvation…”, Satan successfully alters the believers perception of the scriptures, and induces them to wait -- rather than begin the journey into the Kingdom where the Son of God awaits them.    

The Satanic powers of darkness that are revealed in the scriptures gains the upper hand by moving the hearts and minds of unsuspecting men and women to become attached to this world by whatever means possible.   He controls religious people by seducing them into adopting a life of spiritual complacency and impotence -- using religion to effect within the believer a false vision of their own level of spirituality as being exalted and heightened.   He often accomplishes this deception by inducing them to judge and compare themselves to non-believers, and those who have already surrendered their soul over to the Prince of Darkness.     It was easy for Lot to perceive himself a righteous person in comparison to the inhabitants of Sodom.   It is in like manner easy for the average Christian today to view themselves as being a faithful and believing people in relation to the criminal element that is portrayed in our newspapers and media.   The flaw in this perception is seen in the fact that the Bible does not require us to be better than the unholy -- but rather, to be Christ-like -- and ultimately as perfect as our Heavenly Father (Matt 5:48).   Thus, because we judge ourselves in accordance with the standards of this world, the result is that the religious person sees himself as being in accord with the gospel message, because he can easily perceive a difference between himself and the people he views as being turned out of The Way.   From the perspective of what the Apostle calls the god of this world, this false vision of righteousness is absolutely necessary in order to implant within their minds a strong delusion that induces them to believe that they are fulfilling the Word of God.     

The Ministers of Satan: A great truth that the Bible continually warns the religious person about -- a truth that he must come to terms with if he is to become a disciple of the Light -- is that this supernatural being which the Apostle calls the god of this world has the power to ordain servants to mislead the flock of believers -- and more importantly, even those servants are unaware that they have become the ministers of Satan.  More importantly, the servants of Satan are very often the people who the flock of believers regard as the most well meaning of individuals -- men and women who the believing community perceives as religious allies, and perhaps even saintly.     

Throughout the course of human history it can be demonstrated that large numbers of true believers have permitted themselves to be deceived and led into error and captivity, because they failed to heed the lesson of the biblical account of Samson and Delilah -- where the betrayer appears to be good, and yet saps their strength, and then attacks the believers in order to enslave them.   If, then, we are to break the bonds of slavery, and succeed in safeguarding ourselves from being deceived, we must become acutely aware of the important biblical warning that: “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Prov 14:12 KJV).     From the perspective of the Prince of Darkness, we are more easily conquered and led into a life of servitude by those who appear to us as allies and champions of the faith, than those who would oppose us.   No doubt many Christians will immediately reject this argument -- saying, God would not permit this to happen to His church.   But this claim is quickly proven counterfeit when it is demonstrated that God has indeed permitted the church to fall into error.   

Can the believer trust the affirmation of the leaders of the church with respect to their claim of doctrinal purity and Divine protection?   The Bible very clearly states that the opposite is true, and it is the leaders of the church who will be in error when they make this claim.   In confirmation of what was predicted by Paul, Yeshua said that the powers of darkness which seek to enslave us, and will accomplish this by fooling the very elect of the church (Mat 24:24; Mk 13:22).   The Apostle warns that Satan will appear as an Angel of light, and he will transform his ministers and servants of darkness to make them falsely appear to you as good, in order to deceive you (2 Cor 11:14).   In this respect, the Bible warns us that what seems right to the carnal mind of man, is the very thing that will bring about the ways of death (Prov 14:12).   This reality is truly manifest among believers who are under the deception that they have fulfilled the requirements of walking in TheWay, by merely saying a prayer to the Jesus-god, and then living their daily lives no different than those who dwell in Sodom and Gormorah.

What Yeshua warned his followers was to: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits” (Matt 7:15-16 KJV).   In understanding the far-reaching reality of these words, we must comprehend exactly what the fruits are that Yeshua makes reference to which we should use to judge the validity of our religious leaders!   Fruits in the scriptures relate to works and accomplishments -- and the works of the spirit is seen in the ability of the shepherd of the flock to place within the hands of the believer the Key that opens the door to what the Bible calls the house of knowledge -- and then demonstrate how to use that knowledge to guide the believer into the Kingdom -- a Kingdom that will never come upon the earth as our present-day church authorities proclaim (Luke 17:20-21), but exists at this very time in a parallel dimension.    

The Written Word Portrays The Left Hand Of God

The Inner Spiritual Meaning the Right Hand Of God

Jesus said the god of the Jews was the Devil -- the Spiritual Christians who were called Gnostics said the god of the Jew was a lesser god who was a Demiurge -- and Paul warned that you can't be saved by the works of the written word of the Law -- that the reader of the scriptures who failed to understand the allegorical manner they were composed in, embraced the "letter that killeth" --  and Peter called the written word the books that have the power to deceive -- because the literal word of the scriptures portrays the Left Hand of God, while the inner spiritual meaning that lies beneath the allegorical garb, reveals the Right Hand that can save.   The Left Hand is the reflective reality -- i.e., Lucifter -- and this reflective reality is called the Bringer of Light, because the reflective reality is a corrective response to our word, thoughts, desires and deeds that forces an upward movement towards completion.   When a child misbehaves, a parent applies a corrective action in accordance with the needs of the child.   And in the scriptures this great truth is revealed in the words:  "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (Gal 6:7 NKJ).  

Speaking of Simon Magus in the Clementine writings, the Apostle Peter states: "He is a power of the left hand of God, and has authority to do harm to those who know not God, so that he has been able to involve you in diseases; but by these very diseases, which have been permitted to come upon you by the good providence of God, you, seeking and finding him who is able to cure, have been compelled to submit to the will of God on the occasion of the cure of the body, and to think of believing, in order that in this way you may have your souls as well as your bodies in a healthy state."

And in another place in the same writings Peter explains: "For thus from the beginning was a law laid by God, the Creator of all things, on each of the two princes, him of the right hand and him of the left, that neither should have power over any one whom they might wish to benefit or to hurt, unless first he had sat down at the same table with them. As, then, when you partook of meat offered to idols, you became servants to the prince of evil, in like manner, if you cease from these things, and flee for refuge to God through the good Prince of His right hand, honoring Him without sacrifices, by doing whatsoever He wills, know of a truth that not only will your bodies be healed, but your souls also will become healthy. For He only, destroying with His left hand, can quicken with His right; He only can both smite and raise the fallen."   

Again Peter explains: "But that this is so, has been said even by the law in the person of God: ‘I will kill, and, I will make alive; I will strike, and I will heal. For, in truth, He kills and makes alive. He kills through the left hand, that is, through the evil one, who has been so composed as to rejoice in afflicting the impious. And he saves and benefits through the right band, that is, through the good one, who has been made to rejoice in the good deeds and salvation of the righteous."  

And in prayer Peter states:  "Deliver me, O Lord of all, from Thy fearful judgment. Do not give the enemy power to swallow me up, and to become heir of my soul, as of that of him who is hanging on the left; for I see how the devil joyfully takes his soul, and his body disappears."   But Christians today are as the men of Nineveh of whom it is said: "And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left?" (Jonah 4:11 NKJ).   For as it was said to Job: "Then I will also confess to you that your own right hand can save you" (Job 40:14 NKJ).   And in the Psalms: "You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore... Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; you will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me" (Ps 16:11;138:7 NKJ).   Which is the reason why Jesus said that those on the right will enter into life, while those on the left will inherit the tribulation of their deeds and ways: "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matt 25:41 NKJ)

The Left Hand is portrayed in the literal text -- and is especially seen in the Mosaic Law of Karmic-Retribution that perpetually returns back to us the fruit of our own thoughts, desires and actions -- i.e., "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (Gal 6:7 NKJ).    A most profound statement by the Church Father Origen is basically rejected by the people of the simple faith today who are incapable of reason and engaging the mind in the process of true spiritual growth.   What does Origen state:  “What man of sense will agree with the statement that the first, second and third days in which the evening is named and the morning, were without sun, moon and stars, and the first day without a heaven.   What man is found such an idiot as to suppose that God planted trees in paradise in Eden, like a husbandman, and planted therein the tree of life, perceptible to the eyes and senses, which gave life to the eater thereof; and another tree which gave to the eater thereof a knowledge of good and evil?  I believe that every man must hold these things for images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed” (Origen - Huet., Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p. 142).  

Once these words are understood, they are in essence no different than what Paul stated, Peter in the Clementine Homilies, the Zohar, and even St. Augustine in the words: “He is a slave to a sign who uses or worships a significant thing without knowing what it signifies.   But he who uses or venerates a useful sign divinely instituted whose signifying force he understands does not venerate what he sees and what passes away but rather that to which all such things are to be referred.  Such a man is spiritual and free, even during that time of servitude in which it is not yet opportune to reveal to carnal minds those signs under whose yoke they are to be tamed” (De Doctrina Christiana).  

The Fundamentalists who insist that the literal text of the Old Testament is the un-errored  word of God, insist that the earth is only 6,000 years old.   They reject the higher wisdom that teaches that the scriptures are an allegory that conveys inner spiritual truths of the mind and spirit in a series of forms and symbols, and they demand that Genesis be taught as historical truth.   Yet, even a casual examination of the facts by a high school student proves them wrong.   Then, the secular left uses this weak link to condemn the Bible as a whole, and thereby successfully undermines the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay.   Yet, what we have in Darwinism is grave error opposing gross ignorance of the manner in which the Old Testament and all scriptures are written -- thus, we have ignorance opposing ignorance.  

While Christianity has been relegated to the junk-heap in Europe -- which has permitted Islam to thrive -- in the United States the failings of the left have actually fed the religious right.   Because the left has created an environment where the only means to cure the rampant alcohol and drug addiction is through belief in the Jesus-god, the churches are overflowing with ex-addicts who are often incapable of embracing higher thought.   And while these people have found great strength and solace in their beliefs -- and have thus found healing from their addictions -- the very fact that they cling to a Fundamentalist interpretation of the Old Testament gives the left overwhelming ammunition to undermine genuine religious teachings.   So it becomes a vicious circle of people on both the left and the right who are incapable of even envisioning higher reality, undermining the very foundations of our culture by attacking the weaknesses of the opposing sides.    

The Gnostics Were Right: In an Orthodox Jewish community the study of Torah is a strength -- but in view of the fact that 95% of American Jews are non-Torah observant, most are Atheists, and they embrace every garden variety of immorality of the left, then in the lives of the majority of people the Old Testament is an anchor that shackles them to a gross misunderstanding of God and man's higher reality.   The people who come here are those who know intuitively that there is something more than what is embraced by either mainstream of Fundamentalist Christianity.   And we nourish them by assuring them that the God of Jesus has nothing in common with the counterfeit portrayal of God in the allegorical Old Testament -- i.e., the vengeful god that chooses one group of idol worshipers over all the peoples of the earth -- kills innocent men, women and children -- commands the people not to kill, and then is the first to break this commandment -- and judges the children of sinners to the third and fourth generation.  

In the allegorical text, in order to demonstrate to mankind God's absolute power and authority, it is observed that God often chose the most morally degenerate men to inherit the good.   King David, for example, was a murderer and an adulterer, as demonstrated by The New Unger's Bible Dictionary in their sighting under David for First Samuel 13:14: “How, ask some, could a man after God's own heart have murdered Uriah, seduced Bathsheba, and tortured the Ammonites? An extract from one who is not a too-indulgent critic of sacred characters expresses at once the common sense and the religious lesson of the whole matter. ‘David, the Hebrew king, had fallen into sins enough -- blackest crimes -- there was no want of sin. And, thereupon, the unbelievers sneer, and ask, ‘Is this your man according to God' s heart?’” (Carlyle, Heroes and Hero-worship, 1:277; from New Unger's Bible Dictionary, originally published by Moody Press of Chicago, Illinois.  Copyright (C) 1988).  

It would appear that God chose David -- a true sinner -- over Saul, because Saul possessed a conscience, and did not unmercifully wipe out his enemies, as seen where it is written under the heading of Saul: “But he disobeyed the divine injunction by taking alive Agag, the king, and sparing all the best of the cattle and all that was valuable, destroying only that which was despised and worthless. Instead of pursuing the campaign and finishing the destruction of the fugitives…” (New Unger's Bible Dictionary).   Thus, Saul failed in his mission -- which was to totally wipe out all the men, women, children, and everything that breathed among the enemies of Israel.

Anyone who believes that the Bible is literally true where it is written: “And the LORD our God delivered him over to us; so we defeated him, his sons, and all his people. We took all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed the men, women, and little ones of every city; we left none remaining” (Deut 2:33-34 NKJ); is simply unable to perceive the Divine Essence of God.   What does this killer of the innocent have in common with the Heavenly Father revealed by Jesus?   Absolutely nothing!    In the Clementine Homilies it is written: “Then Peter answered: Assuredly, with good reason, I neither believe anything against God, nor against the just men recorded in the law, taking for granted that they are impious imaginations. For, as I am persuaded, neither was Adam a transgressor, who was fashioned by the hands of God; nor was Noah drunken, who was found righteous above all the world; nor did Abraham live with three wives at once, who, on account of his sobriety, was thought worthy of a numerous posterity; nor did Jacob associate with four women - of whom two were sisters - who was the father of the twelve tribes, and who intimated the coining of the presence of our Master; nor was Moses a murderer, nor did he learn to judge from an idolatrous priest - he who set forth the law of God to all the world, and for his right judgment has been testified to as a faithful steward”.   It was of these symbols that Origen said: “I believe that every man must hold these things for images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed”.    

So every source of wisdom declares that the literal text of the Old Testament is not literally true -- and yet, it is from this antiquated Mystery-religion text that the vast majority of people form their opinions and beliefs about God -- to their own spiritual demise.   Since the people are not initiates into the secret system, and are incapable of understanding the true meaning of the text, then from a spiritual perspective it would be best to discard it in the manner that the first Spiritual Christians did.   While the Old Testament is a source of knowledge to the few who understand the allegorical language, what is important with respect to the essential teachings for seekers to embrace, is already presented to us in the New Testament and such additional writings as the Gospel of the Nazirenes.

The Mystery Of The Books

With The Power To Deceive

It is the position of many Biblical researchers that most of the Old Testament comes from other, more ancient writings. Even Jewish writers admit that most of the Hebrew writings were merely taken freely from Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and even Greek sources. Horace Meyer Kallen, at one time a professor at the Jewish New School of Social Research, said that the Book of Job was lifted bodily from an early and obscure Greek play. Scientist and author Immanuel Velikovsky admitted that there are "many parallels" between the Vedic Hymns and the Books of Joel and Isaiah. Hebrew scholar Zecharia Sitchin claimed that the Book of Genesis is based on the Sumerian creation myth. The story of Noah comes from the Sumerian legend of Gilgamesh. The Psalms were taken word for word from Akhenaton's Hymns to the Sun, written 600 years earlier in Egypt. The Ten Commandments were taken wholly from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. And so on through the books of the Old Testament.

In our present time the vast majority of believers and non-believers are not only totally ignorant of the above reality, but fail to comprehend the reality of the very true words of the Zohar where it states: “The narratives of the doctrine are its cloak.   The simple look only on the garment, that is upon the narrative of the doctrine; more they know not.   The instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but what the cloak covers”.   And while Paul warns the people that the Old Testament is an allegory -- and the written word is not on untrue, but he portrays the written word as "...the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life" -- we can see the reality of these words in the world today in both believers misconceptions pertaining to God, and people's rejection of God based upon an ignorance of the allegorical manner in which the Old Testament is written.   And the results of this misconception is so grave, that the Zohar warns those who are under the delusion that they have read the Word of God: "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..."  

What is being said?   That those who read the Old Testament without knowing the secret code possessed only by initiates into the Jewish Mystery religion that requires a lifetime of study and dedication to master, will have so wasted their time on the study of the written word, that they will be deprived of the promise of entering into Life.   On the other hand, if you are a Jew, and you live in a Hasidic fully Torah observant community that studies Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism, only then will you be able to get a more correct perception of God and Higher Reality.    

Speaking of the ability of Simon Magus to deceive the people through the allegorical nature of the Old Testament, in the Clementine Homilies Peter warns:  “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.”       

Notice the words in RED.  If those who are not initiated into the secret code of the allegory will be greatly deceived -- to the degree that the Kabbalah warns that they will be deprived of entering into Life -- then why would anyone in their right mind even promote such a system in our present time?   The deception is so rampant, and so all consuming, that the Spiritual Christians who were called Gnostics, rejected the Old Testament entirely, and began their scriptures with Yeshua after the resurrection.   Check out Pistis Sophia (see http://alchemy.nazirene.org/pistis1.htm ), and see for yourself.   They did this because so many people are deceived by the allegorical portrayals of God -- which is in reality the portrayal of the Left Hand of God which we often refer to as Satan -- that they wanted no part in promoting these antiquated scriptures of the ancient Jewish Mystery religion that Peter correctly portrays as the books that deceive.    

A truly important statement is made by Peter in the Clementine Homilies where it is written:  “Neither, therefore, are the Hebrews condemned on account of their ignorance of Jesus, by reason of Him who has concealed Him, if, doing the things commanded by Moses, they do not hate Him whom they do not know. Neither are those from among the Gentiles condemned, who know not Moses on account of Him who hath concealed him, provided that these also, doing the things spoken by Jesus, do not hate Him whom they do not know. And some will not be profited by calling the teachers lords, but not doing the works of servants. For on this account our Jesus Himself said to one who often called Him Lord, but did none of the things which He prescribed, ‘Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?’ For it is not saying that will profit any one, but doing. By all means, therefore, is there need of good works. Moreover, if any one has been thought worthy to recognize both as preaching one doctrine, that man has been counted rich in God, understanding both the old things as new in time, and the new things as old.”  

Those very few who possess the depth of insight to be able to pierce beneath the garb of the allegorical text of the Old Testament, know that there is absolutely no difference between what is written in the Old and New Testaments -- with the exception that the New presents a more realistic portrayal of God and what is expected of man in his search for the Kingdom within.   Prior to the fourth century, many Christians did not even use the Old Testament because of its power to deceive -- and the Old Testament was used by the Church of Constantine as a means to promote their violence against their opponents.   How could they kill in the name of the God of Jesus who required all men to turn the other cheek?  They could not!   So they drew their image of God out of the literal text of the allegorical Old Testament, and worshiped the Left Hand of God.  

In our present time there are groups who call themselves Nazarenes who are born again Pharisees who desire to build the third temple and begin to sacrifice animals in accord with the literal text of the Old Testament.   These people are thoroughly deceived by these ancient Mystery religion writings that can only be understood by initiates of the system.   The Jehovah's Witnesses, Evangelical Christians, and other groups all derive their perception of God from the Old Testament -- to their own spiritual demise.   Peter states to his disciple Clement: "...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.”   The test is that those who hold unworthy ideas pertaining to God, and fail to live in accord with the Royal Law, are themselves banished from the Kingdom and the Knowledge of the Truth.   So why would I want to begin with writings that are a source of spiritual deception?   And this is why though I understand the inner meaning of the allegory, I rarely quote the Old Testament.

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).
