The Original Teachings of Jesus Christ

[r2d2]

The Original Teachings of Jesus Christ

The Teachings brought by Jesus Christ from God-the-Father came to us in the form of Jesus’ conversations with His disciples and with other people, His appeals to the Heavenly Father, descriptions of His deeds and miracles He performed, which are recorded in the Gospels. There are also writings of His disciples, which contain information learned from Jesus, prophecies received from the Holy Spirit and God-the-Father, as well as personal opinions of the authors. Such writings are many, but not all of them were included in the New Testament.

However, there has been no complete and structured description of Jesus’ Teachings that would discuss in an orderly manner all the most important ideological issues. This was one of the reasons for numerous disagreements between the followers of Jesus Christ and for an abundance of striking perversions of His Teachings.

It is obvious that the work of making an integral compilation of Jesus’ Teachings could have been successfully done only by a person who had fulfilled everything taught by Jesus, who had encompassed His Love and cognized God-the-Father. Only this can be a testimony to the compiler’s competence.

God-the-Father

“… He alone exists… He has existed since all eternity, and His existence will have no end.

“He has no equal either in Heaven or on the Earth.

“The Great Creator has not shared His power with any living being…, He alone possesses omnipotence.” (The Life of Saint Issa, 5:16-17)

“The Eternal Lawgiver is one. There is no other god, but He. He has not shared the world with anyone, neither has He informed anyone of His intentions.” (The Life of Saint Issa, 6:10)

“… The Lord our God… is all-mighty, omniscient, and omnipresent. It is He Who possesses all wisdom and all light. It is to Him you must address yourselves to be consoled in your sorrows, helped in your works, and cured in your sickness. Whosoever shall have recourse to Him shall not be denied.

“The secrets of nature are in the hands of God. For the world, before it appeared, existed in the depth of the Divine thought; it became material and visible by the will of the Supreme.

“When you address yourselves to Him, become again as children*. For you know neither the past, nor the present, nor the future; and God is the Master of all time.” (The Life of Saint Issa, 11:12-15)

“(He) is a Monocracy with nothing above It. … He is God and Father of everything, the invisible One Who is above everything, Who is indestructible, Who is Pure Light, Whom no eye* can see.

“He is the invisible Spirit. It is not right to think of Him as you think of gods, or something similar. … Everything exists in Him. … He is illimitable, since there was nothing prior to Him to limit Him. … He is immeasurable, since there was no one prior to Him to measure Him. … He is eternal. … He exists eternally. … There is no way to tell His quantity… He is not contained in time…

“He is life-giving Life. He is blessedness-giving blessed One. He is wisdom-giving Wisdom. He is salvation-giving and love-giving Love.

“He is motionless, He resides in calm and silence. … He directs His desires into His Flow of Light. He is the Source of this Flow of Light…” (The Apocryphon of John, 2:25-4:25)

“He is the Original Spirit” (The Apocryphon of John, 4:35; 5:10,15).

“This is the message that we have heard from… (Jesus), and declare unto you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).


Jesus — about Himself
“… I came from God!…” (John 8:42)

“… He sent Me!” (John 8:42)

“… I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own will, but the Will of Him Who sent Me!” (John 6:38)

“… As the Father knows Me, I know the Father!” (John 10:15)

“I and the Father are one!” (John 10:30)

“The Father is in Me, and I am in the Father!” (John 10:38)

“… I declare to the world what I have heard from Him!” (John 8:26)

“I declare what I have seen in the Father’s presence!…” (John 8:38)

“The One who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone; for I always do what is pleasing to Him!” (John 8:29)

“I can do nothing on My own!” (John 5:30)

“… I love the Father!…” (John 14:31)

You might note that most of those sayings apply quite easily to the more Eastern way of thinking of our God within than a God without.

When you try to shoehorn them into the Western Jesus that Rome created, they are a bad fit.

They do fit nicely into Gnostic Christian thinking though.

I am a Gnostic Christian, Our beliefs are not what Christianity says they are. We lost the God wars and they distorted our belief system. The lies have been known since the findings of our scriptures and myths at Nag Hammadi.

Gnostic Christianity is a teaching system from Jesus but not the one the church ever dares to teach. It frees us from religion and that is of course not what religions want. They never want the student to graduate as they might lose revenue and people.

Here is a bit of history as well as a nutshell version of how that freedom is gained.

Gnostic Christians are perpetual seekers after God. God here I define as the best laws and rules to live life with.

We believe that those laws and rules, as Jesus said, are found in our minds/hearts. I use the following to try to illustrate this notion. A bit of history and then a mindset and method to do what I promote.

The thinking shown below is the Gnostic Christian’s goal as taught by Jesus but know that any belief can be internalized to activate your higher mind.

This method and mind set is how you become I am and brethren to Jesus, in the esoteric sense.

When you can name your God, I am, and mean yourself, you will begin to know the only God you will ever find. Becoming a God is to become more fully human and a brethren to Jesus.
