- Christianity Existed Prior to the Birth of Jesus (Unfaithful Spouse - Part II) -

• Why did early believers avoid using the name ‘Christian,’ ‘Christ’? – the Greek word used in reference to initiates of the Greek mystery religions.
• Origin of the name "Christian," the Anointing of Mind - the Old Testament and the manner in which the Sacred writings of all people are written. The Sacred writings of the people we call Pagans – the many stories and myths pertaining to the gods and goddesses, were in reality pertaining to the manifestation of the Laws and Divine Powers throughout Creation.
• Parables & rituals of the masses (literal word of the Scriptures), and the depth of the enlightened Gnostic in religions the world over. The ancient religions and their relationship to the New Covenant – all religions of the world possess a degree of truth, it was the people of the New Covenant that were holy enough to embrace Truth in its Ultimate Reality
• The Philosophers spoke of Christ in the form of the Logos. The Gospel of John and the connection to Plato and Greek thought. The Dead Sea Scrolls and the discovery of the foundation of Biblical thought - Jewish Essene Gnosticism.

• Symbolism and allegory of the Scriptures. Why is natural man unable to perceive the depth of the Scriptures? (clinging to the written word). The Old and New Testament Scriptures, as well as the writings of the Greek poets, have a common Gnostic theme of "Christ in you."

• Christian Atheism – worshiping on the day of the sun-god, celebrating the festival of Easter and Saturnalia, belief in Plato’s Doctrine of the Trinity, we do not observe the Commandments and Laws set forth in the Scriptures, and disregard the references to seeking the Mysteries of God. Sadducees and Pharisees.

• The beliefs of the Gentile converts during the 1st and 2nd century.

• "Universal Truth." Every Spiritual Religion follows the Doctrine of the Two Ways – religion for the masses and the sacred teachings of the inner core (the simple/milk doctrine and the inner depth). Origen Contra Celsus. The exoteric and esoteric.

• Crossing over the language barrier, understanding the significance of the words – "Messiah," "Christ," "Anointed." Understanding the Logos and the Anointing of the Light – The Word of God and the Christ. Greek Mythology. 
• Sacred writings are written using the symbols of each culture – understanding how all is connected, the common root of religion (core expressions are always in accordance with the Divine Pattern and always reveal the same inherent Truths). Looking beyond the body of Scripture.
• The universal religious concept of "Anointed." "Messiah" and "Christ" - Why do Biblical translators choose not to translate this word in it's English form throughout the Old and New Testament?
• Rituals/beliefs of the Heathen masses and the paganization of the New Covenant. Constantine and the Roman Empire - severing "Jesus" from the foundation of Jewish thought.

=Section Link: "What modern Christians fail to understand is that within the worship of the sun, is the worship of the one god..."

• The illusion and allusion of the physical realm as a reflection of higher reality. Spiritual development of the masses, invoking allusionary patterns (the erroneous belief that mythology promotes many gods). Levels of Creation. All Scripture reveals Mind and its interaction between higher and lower planes of existence – what is portrayed is the interaction of higher mind, powers and Laws with our own physical body and mind.
• The Pagan concept of Christ fell short of the Messianic perfection that the Son of God attained because the way of the Nations was more in tune with the Hindu and Easter perspective of God – the approach was in reverse. Greek Philosophers (spiritual theory) and the Hebrew Prophets (those that were able to predict man's end and completion) - limitations of both ways.
• The New Covenant writings: what makes them unique and different from other Sacred religious teachings? During the 1st. century the New Covenant writings were re-interpreted by gentile converts in the theology and symbolism of the Poets, which inevitably led to the destruction of the true New Covenant teachings.
• Modern Christian believers have become harlots to the ways of the Nations and attempt to justify their religious customs and beliefs, ignoring Biblical warnings. Prayer and worship in the ways of the Nations. Turning prayer inward (Matthew 6:6 - twofold meaning).
• God - the flawed perspective of the Pagans and modern day Christians. The perspective that God is viewed within New Covenant writings - the perspective in which a seeker should live their life. "In him we live and move and have our being" Acts 17:28. All people are the Divine Emanation and Offspring of God - putting away the Pagan-adopted view that we are inferior subjects to the royal hierarchy.
• The brotherhood of man. Jesus - our elder brother who overcame the limitations of the flesh, and taught mankind The Way into the Kingdom. Walking in the footsteps of Jesus. The nature of our purpose in this realm, overcoming division. Actively living our lives in the endeavor of entering the Kingdom within.

=Section Link: "It is not until we understand both the means by which man enters the Kingdom..."

• The universality of religious symbolism: excuses made by the Atheist and modern Christian – tenets of belief ‘borrowed’ or ‘copied’ from other sources (ignoring the essence of religion). The fundamental purpose of religion - bridging the divide between the physical and spiritual. Universal Genetics of our Creator and the limitations of man.
• Dead Sea Scrolls and the Essenes, the spiritual foundation of Christianity -- and the condemnation of the Sadducees and Pharisees (ritualization, practicing outwardly). The mindset of the Pagan-Christians and the early gentile church. Atheist-Christians and the Darwinistic view of life.
• TheWay of Completion and the first begotten Son of God - limitations of the Greek philosophers and Hebrew prophets. The Great Error of the Gentile Church - embracing the way of the nations/Pagans/Philosophers. Corruption of the New Covenant and the Church of Constantine.
• Three levels of Christianity prior to Constantine and the design of the True Church. Parallel paths and the application of the Laws in different cultures, meeting the individual needs of the people - the Messianic Jewish movement (reaching the secular Jews) and the leaders of the Gentile Church (pagan/gentile converts), assisting the masses in transition.
• Constantine, politics and the Paganism of Christianity – Hitler of the 4^th century

=Section Link: Paul of Samosata - Typical Clergy of the Church

• Clergy of the fourth century church, Pagan barbarians: corrupted, indulging in carnal pleasures and material lifestyle – a reflection of their leader, Constantine. Immorality and depravity of the churches and congregations.
• Living Religion and the Genuine Church - a True Church can never have rigid doctrines of belief that must be adhered to, there must be a certain level of doctrinal freedom that permits believers from all walks of life to progress through the various stages of spiritual development. Serving the individual needs of people at the level they are at.
• The corruption of the church and the political structure of Rome. Constantine: his writings and Pagan beliefs. Creation of the Jesus-god.
• Misconceptions drawn from the Epistles of Paul – the foundation of the Pagan church, Anti-Semitism and the mentality of Pagan religious superiority.

=Section Link: The Adoption of the Doctrine of the Trinity

• Constantine and the early church viewed Moses, Jesus and the prophets as Christians, not as of a Hebrew heritage - in order to understand how the New Covenant teachings became corrupted, we must first understand the perspective of the Pagan converts. Anti-Semitism and Pagan religious superiority. Condemnation of the Hebrews as heretics that must be wiped out. The anti-Jewish climate flourished a distain for the Old Testament -- and even to some degree, the New Testament scriptures. Condemnation of the "Jewish" Sabbath, New Year, and Passover. Anti-Semitism and the mentality of Pagan religious superiority.
• The doctrine of the Trinity is not found in the Bible and is totally absent from Hebrew writings. Trinity - the theology of Plato. "This day I have begotten thee" - Luke 3:22 - ancient manuscripts and the writings of the Early Church Fathers. The nature of the Son of God.
• Understanding the deeper level of Gnosticism that is indigenous to the Gospel of John (concept of the Logos). Significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the foundation of Christianity. Gnostic Scripture, the essence of Gnostic thought, and the nature of the Logos.
• Limitations of carnal man, the quasi-Darwinist perception of life and view of God. The pre-existing Soul, mankind's journey, the Prodigal Son. We dwell in the Mind of God, and are the projection of His thoughts (realities, dimensions, levels and paradoxes of Creation) - all Life is God's own vital life-force that continues to move throughout every level and aspect of Creation. Acts 17:28 - "In Him we live and move and have our being." The pattern of physical conception, division of the cells (each of us are a cell in the body-mind of God) - the nature of our existence. The Kingdom within.
• The Ancient of Days - Hebrew sages and prophets were able to envision God at His Source of Being (purity of religious expression), whereas the Greek Philosophers could only contemplate God on the level of the Trinity. The nature of Mind and the process of thought (thought can only exist where there are differences in potential).
• Understanding the significance of the Trinity, the first level of Creation (positive/negative, male/female – with the resulting third dimension which is the balance or product of the two opposing polarities). The Logos, Mind of God (that which creates by virtue of its movement between the Divine Opposite Polarities of the Triune force and manifestation of God). The dynamics of Creation - each level of what is created moves out to its own level of fullness, it interacts with the opposite polarity, and gives birth to new levels and dimensions of Creation. The Divine Pattern manifest in the form of man and woman.
• The 3, the 7 (rainbow, 7-note-octave, spiritual centers, Enoch), and the 12 (Israel, disciples of Jesus, Tree of Life and the Star of David). Old and New Testament symbolism (Judah, Judas - Jew, a condition of mind), levels of Creation, and the disciples quest to overcome division (Luke 11:17)
• Spiritual re-birth, symbolism of the crucifixion and the significance of the betrayal of Jesus by Judas. Picking up our Cross (Luke 14:27), a genuine disciple is not one who believes, but one who follows in the pattern of Jesus. Entry-level believers and the Milk of the Gospel.
• Symbolism of the Jew (interpreting outwardly, 1/12th of the potential of mind), representing the disciple's walk in the beginning of TheWay. Becoming the good-ground and directing within. The process of development and Biblical symbology. Converting what is represented in Scripture as the Nations (divided mind that is controlled by the appetites of this world) - the people the Bible calls Jews, is representative of a turning point in the mind of the believer (from the carnal Nations, to one who attempts to bring everything in his life in conformity with the higher aspects of Divine Law, yet is limited by not applying the keys that have been given to him). Condemnation of the Pharisees and Sadducees (Luke 11:52).
• Process of transformation {cease to be controlled (worship) idols (material things of this world) -- keep from fornication (addiction to unrestrained sensuality) -- what is strangled (deprived of spiritual life) -- and from blood (the craving of flesh)}. Striving to become complete (the Nations, the Jew, Israel, the Messiah/Anointed). Spiritual poverty and the counterfeit reality of this world - seeking that which is Genuine.
• The Nations/Pagans and the corruption of the New Covenant - all truth that was given into their hands became defiled and contaminated by their heathen ways.
