The Gospel of the Nazaraeans
Also
possibly known as: As far as we know, none of these gospels exist today. All these titles may refer to one, two or several works. Our knowledge of the text comes from early quotations. We do know that these gospels were used primarily in assemblies of Messianic Jews.
quoted from Clement of Alexandria: Whoever marvels will reign, and whoever has reigns will rest. Whoever looks will not rest until he finds; whoever finds will marvel; whoever marvels will reign. Whoever reigns will rest. quoted from 2 Clement: If you do not fulfill my commands then even if you should gather together in my bosom, I will throw you out and say: Leave me, I do not know where you come from, you workers of evil. quoted from Jerome: The Lord's mother and brothers said to him, "John baptizes for the forgiveness of sins. Let's go and be baptized by John!" The Lord said to them, "In what way have I sinned that I should go and be baptized by him? Unless, of course, I have just committed the sin of ignorance!" Give us today tomorrow's bread.
"If your brother has sinned against you with words, but has asked
forgiveness and made reparations, forgive him seven times a day."
Simon, his disciple, asked him, "Seven times a day?" The Lord
told him, "Yes, I'm telling you, as many as seventy times seven times; for it is written that the words of sinful discourse were
found even after the Holy Spirit anointed the prophets." The Lord said to his disciples, Be joyful only when you look upon your brother's face with love. The most grievous offenders are those who have offended their brothers' spirits. quoted from Origen: The other of two rich men said to him, "Master, what good works should I do so that I will live?" The Lord said to him, "Man, fulfill the law and the prophets." The rich man said, "I have done that already." Then the Lord commanded, "Go and sell everything you have and distribute it among the poor, then come and follow me." The rich man could only scratch his head, for what the Lord had said hadn't pleased him at all. So the Lord said to him "How can you say that you have fulfilled the law and the prophets? For it stands written in the law, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Yet, look around and see that many of the sons of Abraham are begrimed with dirt and die with hunger. Your house is full of all kinds of desirable things, but none of your wealth comes out of it for them!" He turned and said to his disciple Simon, who was sitting near by, "Simon, son of Jona, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven." Jesus said, Even so my mother, the Holy Spirit, took me by one of my hairs and carried me to the great Mount Tabor. quoted from Eusebius: I choose for myself the most worthy - they are given me by my Father in Heaven. quoted from Haimo of Auxerre: As the Lord spoke the words of Isaiah from the cross, thousands of the Jews standing around became believers. amplified from a marginal note on a copy of Aurora: Jesus entered the temple of Yahweh and drove out all those who bought or sold. He overturned the moneychanger's tables and the seats of the pigeon-sellers. Rays of light came out from his eyes, by which many were terrified and ran away. quoted from Epiphanius: There appeared a man of about thirty years of age named Jesus who chose us. When he came to Capernaum, he went into the house of Simon Peter and said, "As I walked along the Lake of Tiberias, I chose John and James the sons of Zebedee, then Simon, Andrew, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the Iscariot. You, Matthew, I called as you sat at the tax collection table and you followed me. I will you to be 'sent ones' for a testimony to Israel." I have come to do away with the system of sacrifices. If you do not quit sacrificing, the wrath of Yahweh will not quit you. The disciples said, "Where do you want us to prepare the Passover?" Jesus answered, "Do you think I desire with desire to eat flesh with you at this Passover?" from other sources: Whoever seeks will not rest until he finds; whoever finds will be amazed; whoever is amazed will reign; whoever reigns will rest. The Lord appeared to James, who had sworn that he would not eat until he should see the Lord risen from them that are asleep. The Lord said, "Bring a table and bread!" James did as he was told. The Lord took the bread, blessed it and broke it. Handing it to James the Just, he said, "My brother, you may now eat your bread, for the Son of Man is risen from sleepers." When he came to Peter and the others with him, he said to them, "Behold! Touch me and see that I am not a bodiless demon!" Right away, they touched him and believed, being in close contact with his flesh and his spirit.
The Odes of Shalomé (The Odes of Solomon) " The odes are so truth-filled and beautiful, they thrilled my heart and took my breath away! I hope that they will have a wide audience, and be enjoyed by many many more people. I am going to share these with others. I hope that the Lord uses these for the encouragement of His people all over the world." - ATS, August 9, 2009Shalomé of the Cross was the daughter of Mary and sister of Yahshua of Nazareth. She is mentioned several times in the New Testament Scriptures as a witness to the crucifixion. The Egyptian Scriptures portray her as a person much more important than a mere onlooker. In them, she is a fervent disciple who harbors and nurtures her brother as she learns the Way of the True Worshipper. To this same Shalomé tradition has attributed forty-one songs composed in the Aramaic language of the holy family. Her spiritual insight has much in common with that of the Beloved Disciple and the Teacher of Righteousness. Yet Shalomé has more to offer than a religious comparison of darkness and light. Her songs comprise a young woman’s unique and often mystical vision of the ‘divine feminine,’ love both mundane and ethereal, and hope that reaches far beyond the boundaries of earth and sky.
The Authentic Peter: The Preaching of Simeon Kefa from the Journal of T. Flavius Clemens (Clement) THE AUTHENTIC PETER: Ever wonder why Simon Peter only got a couple short letters in our Scriptures? Wouldn’t someone have recorded Peter’s AUTHENTIC acts and preaching? Of course his preaching was recorded! By Clement, an affluent Gentile convert, at the command of James the Just. So why would the Church Fathers bury the preaching of their first pope since Clement was their second pope? Because Peter's teachings are HEBRAIC. This volume is one-of-a-kind, containing teachings on many subjects, including deliverance, healing, true worship, and lost doctrines. We dispensed with churchy language in restored the original Hebraic names and titles of people, places and concepts - and a full GLOSSARY.
