Live in the Present: From The Essene Humane Gospel of Christ, Part 2 of 2

Let us continue with excerpts from the Essene Humane Gospel of Christ, where Lord Jesus (vegetarian) explains why we should not judge others, and the importance of seeking first the Kingdom of God.

Judge Ye Not Lest Ye Be Judged

“I tell ye also, to Judge not, that ye be not judged, for only the Son of Man judges the soul of each man according to his works and his knowledge. For how are ye to judge a wiser man than thyself, if this man understands the Holy Law, and ye do not? For surely the ignorant, without wisdom from God, judges the righteous evil, and the evil righteous, for if a man knows not his own root, how shall he judge another?”

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and ye shall be blessed of God and be children of Light. Therefore, I tell ye also, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them, and what ye would not that any creature should do unto you, do ye not unto them – for this is the Law of Love that the Prophets before me spoke unto your forefathers. Keep ye this law and ye will find eternal life, for no other law is greater than love, for the law is love unto them obeying its sayings. […]”

Jesus Warns Of False Prophets Who Will Twist His Words And Make A Lie Of Truth

“And He went on saying to them: Do ye beware of false prophets, who indeed come unto you in sheep’s clothing, pretending to be innocent and harmless as sheep, but inwardly are ravening wolves, with appetites lusting after the blood and flesh of innocent creatures. Yea, their hands are dripping with blood and they boast in their evil and say it is good and deceive many at the entrance of the gate. Ye shall know them by their works, for though they speak love, they give only hate and by their fruits ye shall readily know their true root – for it is they who call truth a lie, and the lie, truth. For do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? So shall it be, that every good tree brings forth holy fruit, but a corrupt tree brings forth only evil fruit. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know the good from the evil. Beware lest ye be misled and find not the tree of life....”
