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" ( 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 premis 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.

Jim Wallis - Has This Man Sold Your Soul To The Devil?

Meet Jim Wallis. A prime example of the modern Liberal movement within the Church that is attempting to redefine the teachings of Yeshua/Jesus under the banner of Marxist Socialism. From the perspective of the Apostle Peter as quoted in the writings of his disciple Clement, Jim Wallis is a minister of Simon Magus. Who is Simon Magus? And why can Jim Wallis be portrayed as a minister in the tradition of Simon? While we encounter the personage of Simon Magus in the words: ”You have no part or portion in this matter, for your heart is not right before God” (Acts 8:21 NAS) -- it is not until we understand the portrayal of Simon as a spiritual archetype, that we can begin to understand both Jim Wallis and Liberal Christianity. The Apostle Peter explained to his disciple Clement that among those who know not God, "...he [Simon] will prevail much." And he then warned those listening to his words: "Let not any one of you, therefore, altogether complain of Simon, or of any one else; for nothing happens unjustly, ...[but] are with good reason presented for a test.” A test of what? A test of faithfulness and sincerity. And what this means is that everyone today -- and especially those who read these words -- are being tested. In the same way that Jesus was tested and tempted by the Devil, and Job was tested by Satan, Simon Magus is an archetype that is raised up to test the people. In explanation of why God raises up those who are of the archetype of Simon Magus among the people, Peter states that: "For men do not know the issue of those things which happen to them, nay, suspect that the result will be evil; but God knows that they will turn out well. So is it in the case of Simon. 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." Jim Wallis and the liberal Christians peach to the people that they should ignore such things as the Ten Commandments and the thinking and lifestyle teachings of Jesus, and focus instead on social issues such as poverty and disease that plague the people. And our latter-day Simon Magus as epitomized in Jim Wallis, attempts to resolve the issue of disease and poverty, while ignoring the cause of what plagues mankind. And where Jesus related the plagues of mankind as being caused by sin and a lack of wholeness -- i.e., "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14 KJV) -- Simon, in the form of Jim Wallis, teaches that sin is a normal state, and the focus of the Gospel is not to cure the diseases wrought upon man by what Peter portrays as the Power of the Left Hand of God -- but rather, to ignore the very cause of the diseases, and spread the disease to the rest of the population -- so that everyone is equally afflicted! Jim Wallis, as a latter-day Simon Magus, has been seducing gullible young Christians into believing that murder is not a crime. Not only the murder of the unborn -- but the murder of those who survive the holocaust of Roe v Wade, and are then slain on the altar of our culture of immorality. And while the Gospel teaches that all the plagues that immerse mankind in the diseases and poverty of this world are caused by sin, Jim Wallis teaches that Jesus was not concerned with the cure -- but rather, furthering the very cause of disease and poverty that afflicts the people. Jim Wallis seduces impressionable people who know not God, that they should serve and further the very causes of disease and poverty, in order to make an even greater number of people sick -- and surrender their soul to the Evil One. When Jim Wallis wrote his book, God's Politics, I challenged him to substantiate his positions (see Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right). But Jim Wallis does not want to reply to someone who understands not only the nature of evil, but the reason why God raises up the Powers of the Left Hand, so Jim Wallis ignored the challenge. Yet, in Jim Wallis' latest book entitled The Great Awakening, Jim promotes the idea that he has succeeded in redefining the teachings of Jesus when he states that he is "Reviving Faith & Politics In A Post-Religious Right America". But who is the Religious Right? The answer is that it often is portrayed as those Christians who acknowledge the warning of Jesus that the cause of all man's sufferings is presented in the words: "...sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14 KJV). And while they don't understand the workings of the Laws that bring about the testing of mankind, they are sincere enough in their faith to believe what Jesus said. The only reason that Jim Wallis and the un-liberal left can portray America as Post-Religious Right, and promote the idea that the murder of the unborn does not matter, is because Conservative Christians have ignored the warning of Paul when he commanded: “Wherefore, come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you” (2 Cor 6:17). Because, while they rally against those who murder the child in the womb, they have ignored the murder of the children in the nations system of public education, as they permitted the children to be sacrificed to Caesar (see Children Of Caesar). In recognizing the source of the intellectual and spiritual decline that has immersed America in a culture of immorality, John McCain portrayed the problem as the Civil Rights Issue of the 21st Century, which is School Choice. While abortion is infanticide and murder, the source of this evil is embedded in our culture -- and the epicenter of the holocaust of the unborn, is in the nations system of public schools which indoctrinates young impressionable minds into the thinking of the Synagogue of Satan. How can a person who calls themselves a Christian, "...touch not the unclean thing", while sending their children to be sacrificed upon the public school altar of immorality? And why does John McCain see the evil, that many of his Religious Right critics are blind to? That men like Jim Wallis are busy seducing young impressionable minds -- and how there are people being deceived into believing that Jesus would vote for Barack Obama (see Why Jesus Would Not Vote For Barack Obama) -- is laid at the doorstep of the Conservative Christians who have failed to heal the source of the sin -- which is in their inability to bring about School Choice. Thus, in many respects, John McCain who in his acceptance speech has portrayed School Choice as a Civil Rights issue, is in effect saving his critics of the Christian Right from their own spiritual complacency, with the face of evil as portrayed in the latter-day Simon Magus'.
