СКАЧАТЬ in order to consolidate this doctrine of grace. It was the same with the other writers of the New Testament, as a red thread was drawn through the Epistles of Paul, the Epistles of James, Peter, John, and even in the Revelation of John. There also I was able to detect the same methodology and falsification in the Gospels of the NT.

      To understand the deceit, one has to seek the truth and that means examining the texts that served as the basis for the forgery. Then we have to ask ourselves why they were falsified - a question which leads us to the motive.

      What then was so dangerousín the original message, such that the forgers as well as the church fathers and historians promulgated apocrypha, etc., spared themselves no efforts, however extensive and enormous, in formulating the writings in both the New and Old Testaments in a manner as to destroy a doctrine of health and purity?

      For it soon became clear to me that the NT was only the tip of the iceberg. The other writings used to support this deceit are by far greater.

      This doctrine, starting innocently enough, spread inexorably and became the greatest danger with which the Romans had to contend. That is because the message which was adopted by Jewish compatriots of the Prophet not only threatened to gradually undermine Roman rule but the even Prophet himself was feared by Rome. The Emperor believed this man, who had emerged from nowhere yet had acquired so many followers, wanted to seize the scepter of power, a fact the Bible does not mention. The following text is a message from the Prophet to the Emperor:

       "… If the emperors of Rome were to exercise righteousness and grace, if they would walk with humility with their God, they would all receive the blessing of God.

       They had no need to fear a messenger whom God had sent. I have not come to the throne to rule with Caesar's laws. Inform the one who rules over the Jews that I do not desire his throne. "5

      This holy man who spoke in metaphors of the Divine Law, of the holy temple, of inner and outer baptism, of purity of the body, of Christ, Satan, circumcision, Holy Land, and virginity, was none other than John the Baptist, whose doctrine of purity was perverted because he was the most dangerous man of his time. Aiming to obscure his superordinate importance, he was immediately sidelined at the beginning of the composition of the New Testament.

      The language of the Essene Prophet taught no new doctrine per se, rather translated the Language of Nature (the Holy Scrolls), which are the thoughts of God, because mankind, out of blindness, could not attain these themselves. This language is to be understood from at least three perspectives and constitutes the true Trinity, namely mother-son-father. One can recognize a Divine Message, because no one would be able to so effortlessly compose texts integrating several perspectives.

      In order to make the Divine Order intelligible, the prophet spoke in metaphors, because people, depending upon their stage of maturity, will attain a level of understanding at which the true meaning can be grasped. In other words, in a single metaphoric phrase he can express three sentences, which become clear as the veil dissipates before the spiritual eye.

      The purity of the body, the basis for spiritual development of a human being, can only be achieved if the elements: water, air, sun and earth, are held in harmony within the body. The Essene Prophet compares humans with fruit. This person is not a sinner, rather the accomplished human being.

      The Prophet spoke of universal equality, therefore women were equal to men and slavery was viewed as a violation of the Divine Order. The same was true of poverty, which he described as a contradiction of the law, for physical poverty leads to starvation of the body. That is why, in his model of brotherhood, there could be neither poor nor rich because wealth opens the door to all other sins and leads to the starvation of the soul. For this reason, there was no monetary currency. The Essenes also possessed no valuables, neither silver nor gold.

      Regarding equality he said the following:

      "Then all are the Sons of Man, regardless of their rank and task whether their eyes have been opened to see the heavenly kingdoms, or whether they still walk in darkness and ignorance, because the Sons of Light have not come for the healthy, rather for the sick.⁶

      The Essene Baptist asserted that animals are our brethren and need our protection. He affirmed with plausible arguments that the greatest sin which a person commits against his own body and soul is the consumption of the flesh of animals, for in this way he would allow death to enter into himself. He states:

      "… For all are Sons of Men, whatever be their station, whatever be their calling, whether their eyes have been opened to see the heavenly kingdoms, or whether they yet walk in darkness and ignorance. For the justice of men may reward the undeserving and punish the innocent, but Holy Law is the same for all, whether beggar or king, whether shepherd or priest."⁷

      The health and purity of the body, which he described as a temple, that mankind ought to build stone by stone in harmony with nature, was for the Essene probably the most important priority, for the body is where the Spirit of God takes residence, when the time for this has matured. Therefore, he compared the body and the soul of man and their relationship to one another with a burning candle:

      "… For if the wax is not pure, the candle cannot produce a steady flame …"⁸

      A purity that would at any rate bring peace to the people around the world.

      Many joined the Essene Brotherhood: everyone was welcome and no one had to suffer from hunger.

      First came the sick and beggars, and those who had no family. Slaves regained their freedom there. Women who wished to no longer be subject to a man’s will.

      Each obtained his own domain and they tilled the earth together to nourish themselves by their own harvest. The brotherhood, calling themselves Christians, spread inexorably throughout the country.

      The brotherhood paid no taxes, for they had neither money nor gold, and they did not regard the Emperor as sovereign.

      Pontius Pilate, who was more interested in filling his pockets, had allowed the critical moment to pass. When he realized that he had not responded quickly enough, panic broke out.

      Initially the doctrine of the brotherhood and the formation of the brotherhood were forbidden. Christians who belonged to a brotherhood and did not want to renounce their faith were persecuted, tortured and murdered. The persecution of these Christians was the true persecution of

      Christ, which the plagiarist concealed and replaced with another on paper.

      When the Romans realized that the killing of the Christians could not stop the development of the brotherhood, as they could not kill all the Jews, they arrived at the idea of falsifying the Gospel. Confiscated Gospels were collected and supplemented with texts that Romans extorted from their prisoners. When all the writings were compiled, the Gospel amounted to around a thousand pages. The Romans began to falsify the Gospel. This occurred at the earliest in 70 AD, or perhaps later.

      Using the same words from the authentic Gospel, the Romans succeeded half-way in cloaking themselves in a supposed message of love, a contrary doctrine, and in this way were able to restore the old system, for according to the Gospel of Mercy everything remained as it was, only that Rome had become to this day the center of Christianity.

      The Jewish people saw in this man, who described himself as “messenger,” the promised Prophet. Therefore, he became the target of the Romans because the Jews understood the true message and continued to proclaim it, such that many were forced to flee to foreign lands and countless found death for they would not renounce their faith.
