The vast majority of faith-based Christians, as well as the opponents of the Church, will immediately reject what is presented on the websites associated with this Blog as “far out” — and even the ravings of a nut!  But is this true?  Or, have these people ignored the warning of the Gospel that Spiritual Knowledge belongs only to those who are themselves Spiritual?   I recently answered this question in a discussion on the Nazirene Ebionite Disciple Forum:

The Knowing and enlightened biblical authors warned that you will not believe or accept a single thing that I will write and say to you (see Mystery Of The Gospel)!   The Lord himself warned that you would cast me out of your Churches.   In like manner, it has been predicted that your clergy and authorities will condemn me as a heretic.   And even suggest that killing me would be doing a good service.     Why?   Because we are all born ignorant and unknowing — and in your present spiritually immature condition, the biblical authors have warned that you will reject the higher reality of your own soul and the mysteries of the Kingdom as utter “foolishness”!   And as the Apostle stated, so long as you remain in this immature and elementary condition — adhering to the dogma and traditions of carnal men — you will not be able to bring about the necessary state of spiritual maturity — and therefore, you will be unable to fulfill the intended purpose and objectives of the Gospel message and teachings!

What are the Original Gospel objectives?  As the lost prodigal sons, the Gospel Message was given unto man in order to empower him — enabling him to evolve to a state of spiritual maturity — which self-empowerment would provide the means for the lost prodigal son to escape the clutches of what is portrayed as the Citizen of this, the Far Country — thereby enabling the prodigal son to break free of the shackles of human suffering and spiritual ignorance, and return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination from which he originally emerged (see GateOfEden.com).   

That the Good News of the Gospel is merely the beginning, is seen in Paul’s statement that after personally teaching the congregation at Corinth — stating that “I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way — in all your speaking and in all your knowledge — because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed” (1 Cor 1:4-7 NIV).   Which means that even though Paul taught and conveyed to the congregation of Christians all knowledge concerning what Paul portrayed as the “testimony of Christ” — to the degree that he attested to the fact that they “…do not lack any spiritual gift” — it is also clear that they were somehow awaiting for the “…Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed”.    Which invokes the question: If they had already been taught the Good News in the form of what Paul portrayed as the “testimony of Christ” — and were not lacking in “…any spiritual gift” — then what, exactly, were they still lacking?     

In the second chapter of the very same Epistle Paul warns these believers who he himself had personally given all knowledge and testimony of Christ: “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor 2:14 NKJ).  Paul then goes on and warns these believers of a natural mind who were baptized and dedicated to Christ: “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ” (1 Cor 3:1 NAS).  Thus, this congregation of confirmed believers who Paul personally taught the “testimony of Christ” and the Good News, could only be taught what Paul portrayed as the entry-level doctrine of Jesus Christ and him crucified (1 Cor 2:2), because they were not yet spiritual men — but rather, they were men of flesh and still very much “babes in Christ”.  Paul then explains that: “I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able” (1 Cor 3:2 NAS). 

What should be troubling to the modern believer is that Paul openly admits that the baptized and confirmed Christians at Corinth — people who had accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and received the gifts of the laying on of hands and speaking in tongues — people who were not taught by preachers and priests, but the Apostle himself — were not yet able to understand and comprehend what Paul referred to as the Mysteries of the Gospel of God.   Moreover, Paul went as far as to state to the body of believers that if he was to even attempt to convey to them the true spiritual meaning of the Gospel, that they would utterly reject what he stated as “foolishness”.   Why?   Paul states that the Christians who he had personally taught and instructed into the Good News of the Gospel, were too carnal to comprehend the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God.   Thus, Paul stated: “And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.   I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal…” (1 Cor 3:1-3 KJV).  

If it is true that Paul could not speak openly about the true meaning of the Gospel to the Christian who he had himself instructed because of their carnal condition of mind and being — to the degree that these same Christians would reject what an enlightened Paul knew as “foolishness” from their carnal perspective of self and life — would it be any less true that modern carnal Christians would be any different than those who Paul personally taught?    Could modern Christians who are carnal in their thinking, mindset and lifestyle, comprehend what the very people who Paul himself taught were incapable of understanding?   

From a biblical perspective: When Jesus taught the people using the enigma of parables that allegorically concealed what he called the Sacred Secrets of the Kingdom, his disciples who had received all truths revealed to them plainly, asked him: Why do you teach them with parables?   What they were asking Jesus is why he did not speak plainly to them?   And thus, Jesus answered his disciples and explained:“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).   Those who are “without”, are those who dwell in what Jesus called the “outer darkness” of mind and being (see Outer Darkness) — and because they dwell “without [in the] outer darkness”, they are incapable of perceiving and understanding anything beyond the base vibratory frequencies of the earth.    The disciples, on the other hand, had abandoned the ways of this world, and were able to spiritually receive the Knowledge of the Sacred Secrets of the Kingdom.    Instead of the word “mystery”, the NIV Bible translates this word the “secret” of the Kingdom of God — i.e., “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!'” (Mark 4:11-12 NIV).

What does it mean to “turn”?  From the perspective of the prodigal son, it is to turn away from the Far Country, and return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination (see GateOfEden.com).   In the Gospel accounts, particular attention and importance is placed upon Children, who are often referred to as the “little ones”.   It is warned that if we do not “turn about”, and become as little children, we cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven (Mt 18:3; 19:14).  In Mark 10:24 Jesus refers to his disciples as children when he explains: “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (NIV).    The Gospel of Thomas saying 22 has the disciples asking Jesus: “Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?”   To which Jesus responded:“When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female…”.    Therefore, unless you understand and bring about the merger and marriage of opposites within you, it will remain impossible for you to bring about the next stage of birth that brings about the necessary Oneness with your higher soul-self — and ultimately with the Indwelling Logos and God.  

 

Jesus did not — and could not — speak openly to those who were portrayed as being “without [in the] outer darkness”.  Why?  Because, the “outer darkness” is this three-dimensional realm that can be thought of as a mental-womb intended to develop and bring about the next stage in the birth process — and therefore, it would have been impossible for them to comprehend anything beyond the most mundane of earthly perceptions of self and life.   In the same way that we were initially conceived within the womb of our physical mothers — where we were supplied all the nourishment necessary to evolve through the fetal stages and our birth into this world — when the  womb of our mother was no longer sufficient for our progress beyond the initial stages of development, we were then born into what can be portrayed as the next-level of womb where our development can continue.   Therefore, one of the conceptual-realities that Paul had great difficulty in conveying to the entry-level Christians, is the reality that this world is the womb of mother-earth — that each of us can be portrayed as a Cosmic Ovum Or Sperm — and that if we understand the Natural Laws of Creation and the purpose of this world, that our earthly-mother will supply all that we need to achieve the next stage of the four-fold process of birth — the final stage of which is allegorically portrayed in the Gospel accounts of the crucifixion.    Because we lack the necessary mental-development to comprehend this higher reality, it was therefore impossible for the biblical authors to write even the next level above elementary truths literally. 

Quoting from The Key Of Knowledge: 

If it is true that there are higher realities of being that are totally inconceivable to the mind of the undeveloped faith-based believer (see  Mysteries Of The Gospel) — and by virtue of their immaturity, the biblical authors were powerless to explain in detail many of the important Gospel teachings and concepts — then the spiritually mature author’s of the scriptures who do Know of these higher realities, remain virtually powerless to do anything more than to provide the people with a list of do’s and don’ts, so that the immature Christians will be in a position where they are then better able to evolve to a mature understanding and comprehension of the teachings of Jesus and TheWay.  To totally ignore these do’s and don’ts, without knowing the consequence of one’s choices and actions, is paramount to walking out onto a freeway blindfolded. 

 

I always found it truly amazing that students of the scriptures could read the words of Paul where he states that the mind of the Christians who he had himself taught, would reject the truths pertaining to the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom as utter “foolishness” — portraying himself as an “ambassador in bonds” who was unable to speak plainly — and yet the implications of these words when read by the majority of readers, remain ignored to their own detriment.   Further, from this perspective, the best that Paul could do for those who he portrayed as entry-level Christians who were “babes in Christ”, was to provide them a series of do’s and don’ts that would assist them in evolving through the stages of spiritual immaturity that made it impossible for them to comprehend the True Gospel Meaning and Objectives. 

There is an answer to the enigma of race, and the resolution to racial disharmony can only be brought about when the higher reason and purpose of race is understood within the context of the Divine Design of Creation.  Having recently listened to …

While mankind is plagued by racial ignorance today as demonstrated in the recent Cheerios commercial which featured an interracial family (see Commercial – TheAdviseShow.com), the cause of this mass-racial ignorance can in fact be laid right on th…

Jim Wallis and Sojourners have begun a campaign to bring about an end to what they portray as the Sexual Violence And The Church — which violence they attribute to Masculine Christianity.   But what is the cause of violence — sexual and otherwise?   If violence is a spiritual and mental disease that plagues mankind, can man’s condition of violence be cured, without first understanding the cause of the disease?

While wisdom and spiritual knowledge can save the soul, when man’s religious leaders are blind and totally deficient in knowledge and understanding, such misguided well-meaning men will lead you into the abyss of even greater suffering and despair.   And when rightly understood, this same plight of mankind can be expressed in the wisdom that those who fail to learn the lessons of man’s past, are doomed to repeat them — over, and over, and over again.   Why?   Because in the original teachings of Jesus, an understanding of the Natural Laws was laid down with respect to the cycles of life — Natural Laws that controlled all events and occurrences in life — and it was recognized that the same souls are returned back to life to confront their own past Conditions Of Birth.   From the perspective of pop-culture, this can be portrayed in the words: What goes around, comes around — or, from life to life one’s own chickens come home to roost — which can be expressed in the biblical reality: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV).

The disciples asked Jesus about the man who was born blind — and whether his blindness was caused by his own previous sin prior to being born into his present life, or the sin of his parents (see Biblically Based Mindset).   In their ignorance of the Natural Laws, Sojourners takes the position that a man’s actions in the matter of sin, should not come back upon him.   When Jesus healed the man he warned:  “Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee” (John 5:14 KJV).  Which causes us to ask: What force of the Laws would bring a worse condition upon us, if we sin again after being healed?   If it is true that we create the conditions of our life by virtue of our own actions — and the conditions of our life is intended to be a corrective force of healing which invokes a change in behavior — then shouldn’t we learn about the relationship of sin as the causal factor in the conditions of the life that we are presently living? 

Jim Wallis and the people at Sojourners do not understand this fact of life.  In their profound ignorance of the Natural Laws, they assert that it is not right for a man or woman to reap what they have themselves sown — i.e., to inherit the fruit of their own ways.   And if we inquire as to why Jim Wallis and the people at Sojourners are ignorant of the Laws of God?   It is because the Church itself is founded upon what can best be portrayed as The Religion Of Roman Emperors.   Which is based upon a man-made dogmatic foundation that is totally adverse and in conflict with the original Biblically Based Mindset.   What this means is that the modern Church has totally nullified the original Gospel teachings by promulgating man-made doctrines which promote violence and spiritual disenfranchisement.    And what we observe in the world is the effects of the spiritual disease which has totally undermined the original teachings of Jesus and TheWay. 

In the article entitled The Ten Words, the wishful thinking of Sojourners is very much within the scope of what is called The Tinkerbell Effect.    Which is defined as something that “…you think or believe that something is true or will happen, strictly on the basis that you wish it were true or will happen.”  While Sojourners, and those who wish for world-peace and tranquility to come upon mankind, without a knowledge of the causal factors and the Natural Laws which control all events and encounters of man in this world, the wishful thinking of Sojourners is little more than just another example of blind faith in The Tinkerbell Effect.    And perhaps the key to bringing about change, is in the words of Mahatma Gandhi who correctly stated that change can only be brought about when those who desire change become “…the change they want to see in the world”!   Which means that if Jim Wallis and Sojourners truly want to see change in the world with respect to violence against not only women — but against all people — then Sojourners must begin by leading the believers along the path of returning to Gospel First Principles.   

The new campaign of Jim Wallis and Sojourners (faith in action for social justice), is to bring an end to Sexual Violence And The Church.   And while I totally agree with Sojourners position that all violence against all our brothers and sisters worldwide should cease, without understanding the cause of human violence — the naive good intentions of Sojourners will bring about the same results as the Just Say No campaign in the War On Drugs.   Without understanding the causal factors, not only can no progress be made, but often one’s efforts make the original problem even worse.    And if Jim Wallis and his people at Sojourners had even an ounce of insight into the causal factors of the systemic violence as being driven by the Natural Laws of Creation — and if Sojourners possessed a degree of spiritual knowledge with respect to the Original Gospel teachings of Jesus and TheWay — only then could Sojourners vision of man overcoming the forces of violence that immerses our culture and much of this world in abject moral depravity and indifference, could man even begin to overcome the malady of perpetual suffering and despair.    

When rightly understood, the only possible way to end man’s legacy of violence from the Sojourners perspective, would require the suspension and nullification of God’s Laws that were put into effect at the Alpha of Creation.    When rightly portrayed, Jim Wallis and the people at Sojourners want God to repent from the system of development that He brought forth and ordained.   And while this may sound rather bazaar to the people at Sojourners, what they fail to understand is the fact that there is an important reason for what man portrays as evil in the world — i.e., to put it in another way: Evil has a higher purpose.    But to even begin to understand the causal factors of evil and violence, the intelligent Christian would first have to abandon the dogmatic limitations of The Religion Of Roman Emperors, and begin to restore the essence of Truth within the foundations of the Church.   When rightly understood, what man sees as evil is the effect of a spiritual disease — a disease that has been perpetuated through the ignorance of the Natural Laws which control all events in this world.   And this state of abject spiritual ignorance that promotes what man calls evil, begins with man’s ignorance with respect to man’s own Conditions Of Birth!    Not until this world is understood as a Living Bio-Feedback Organism where each individual person is confronted with the actions of their own past — i.e.,  “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV) — as expressed in the words of the early Church Father Origen where he stated that “Every soul… comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis) — can mankind even begin to prevail over the evil and violence that has immersed him in times of great suffering throughout his long history upon the earth, without first understanding the purpose of evil?   

Each man and woman is in fact the lost prodigal son and daughter of Creator-God.   And when mankind ventured into this world that is portrayed as the Far Country, there were a series of Natural Laws which were put into effect that would not only bring about man’s return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination (see GateOfEden.com), but these Laws were intended to drive fallen man to the required state of Wholeness and Perfection (see The Laws That Perfect Mankind) that would enable his Spiritual Restoration and Return to his Source of Being.   But these important teachings became suppressed and even outlawed, by The Religion Of Roman Emperors.   Which means that the wishful (Tinkerbell) thinking of Sojourners can’t become a reality in the life and existence of mankind, until the Church first returns to the Original teachings and spiritual objectives of the Gospel.   Quoting from The Fourth Fatal Mistake of the Church’s rejection of the Key Of Knowledge: 

 Peace can only be achieved when the Church is restored to its position as the Light of the World — and this can only be accomplished by a restoral of the Original Teachings and Core Gospel First Principles!          

Brother Of Yeshua/Jesus

In the recent Huffington Post Blog article entitled Who Wrote The Bible And Why It Matters, by prof. Bart D. Ehrman, what we have should more appropriately be portrayed as Prof. Ehrman’s Confession of Ignorance.   While I have attempted on a number of occasions to communicate with Bart Ehrman — to portray him as a  Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies, would be like portraying those people who make burgers at McDonald’s, as fine cuisine chefs — which is why I often portray the body of biblical scholars as pseudo-authorities.      Quoting from The Prodigal Son And The Theist/Deist Perception Of Creation:    

Deists such as Thomas Paine often portrayed the literal text of the scriptures as being untrue and not historically accurate.   And when we pose the question: What does the Bible state?   The Apostle Paul portrayed the scriptures as the “letter that killeth” (2 Cor 3:6) and “Jewish fables” (Tit 1:14) — stating that the written text of the scriptures was purely allegorical.   In the article  An Inconvenient Truth the fact is presented that the purpose of the scriptures was to preserve and conceal the esoteric knowledge within the garb of allegory to protect it from the unenlightened carnal believers and their pseudo-religious leaders (see An Inconvenient Truth).   The enlightened few have always pointed out the countless inconsistencies which were purposely inserted into the literal text of the scriptures which the critics portray as being so numerous and unbelievable to a rational minded person, that is was pointed out by the Church Father Origen when he portrayed the literal text as virtually worthless — i.e., “Scripture contains an unhistorical element in-woven with the history, in order that the worthlessness of the latter may drive us to seek the spiritual meaning” (Origen quoted under Origen Adamntius; The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics).   Further explaining in De Principiis that: “Where the word found that things done according to the history could be adapted to these mystical senses, he made use of them concealing from the multitude the deeper meaning; but where in the narrative of the development of super-sensual things, there did not follow the performance of those certain events which were already indicated by the mystical meaning, the scripture interwove in the history the account of some event that did not take place, sometimes what could not have happened; sometimes what could but did not.”   And that the carnal mind of both the blind believer, as well as the skeptic critic, both attempt to ignore these important inconsistencies (see Inconsistencies Purposely Written Into Body Of Scriptural Text), and attempt to read the scriptures as an historical account, inhibits them from perceiving and understanding the great truths that lie concealed beneath the allegorical texts.   And in the proper application of the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge, the Church Father Origen writes: “But all the narrative portion, relating either to the marriages, or to the begetting of the children, or to battles of different kinds, or to any other histories whatever, what else can they be supposed to be, save the forms and figures of hidden and sacred things? As men, however, make little effort to exercise their intellect, or imagine that they possess knowledge before they really learn, the consequence is that they never begin to have knowledge”. 

What does this mean?   What it means is that “…all the narrative portion [of the scriptures], relating either to the marriages, or to the begetting of the children, or to battles of different kinds, or to any other histories whatever”, do not at all pertain to historical accounts of man’s more distant past — but rather, to the Forces and Laws that are presently working within man’s own mind and being.   Why?   How could Origen who was called the prince of Christian learning second only to the Apostles themselves, state that the historical interpretation of the scriptures is “worthless”?  And that what is presented in the written text as marriages, the begetting of children, and the many various wars and battles are not at all historical — but rather, an allegorical portrayal of the Forces and Laws working within one’s own mind and being?   The answer is this: A truly spiritual people have no need of an historical account in their search for Truth — but rather, their primary concern is to tap into the Inner Source of Knowledge which the disciples portrayed as the True Prophet.    And because man’s pseudo-authorities of this world remain virtually ignorant of the profound reality portrayed in Origen’s statement that “…As men, however, make little effort to exercise their intellect, or imagine that they possess knowledge before they really learn, the consequence is that they never begin to have knowledge” — indicating and confirming the reality that the Source of Knowledge already dwells within man — in his failing to understand the Cosmology of his own mind and being, the vast majority of pseudo-intellectuals merely alienate themselves from the True Source of Knowledge within themselves that remains a perpetual enigma.
