HOW CHRIST TRULY COMES IN THE FLESH

HOW CHRIST TRULY COMES IN THE FLESH

First off, we should look at the New Testament Bible for a very important verse:

 

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” 

~2 John 1:7 

Based on this specific scripture, the typical argument states that John was aiming this scripture at the people who denied Jesus was resurrected in a physical body. 

Keep in mind that the writer of John, was a Gnostic. Most Gnostics did not view any of the scriptures literally ... they were allegorical and metaphorical. As such, John’s statement is in perfect agreement with what a Gnostic would have believed. 

To the Gnostics, the resurrection story of Christ wasn’t about the literal man; it was about the spiritual awakening of the Divine nature that can happen within each individual. This awakening happens while still yet in the flesh. While still here, and alive. 

So John’s statement rings true after all. Christ does come in the flesh. But this coming of Christ is the gnosis (mystical insight) attained by the individual going through a profound experience in higher states of consciousness. An awakening to the Divine Spark that is part of the spiritual architecture within all mankind. 

This entire process happens while being in a physical body. It is the "born again" experience of the spiritual nature, which rules over the physical nature. This spiritual nature is the Christ. This Christ Consciousness IS the Divine spark of God within every man. 

Remember the Apostle Paul attests to this when he states in Galatians 4:19: "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you." And he also states: "you are the body of Christ." In the scriptures, Jesus himself affirmed several times his position. At the Sermon On The Mount, he said "you are the Light of the world" to his audience. He is also quoted in John 14:12 saying: "you shall do greater things than I."

How would any of this be possible if Jesus (the man) was the one and only God in the flesh? Remember also, the church teaches the doctrine of "Original Sin" (which the Roman Church itself created). If all people are born in sin, then so then would Jesus since the church teaches that he was fully man, and fully God. 

They also try and wiggle around the HUGE problem with the "immaculate conception," meaning that Jesus' Mother Mary was without sin ... somehow bypassing the bloodline given of Adam by being impregnated by the Holy Spirit. Mary was an "almah" in Hebrew, and in Greek a "parthenos." Both of these words do not mean "virgin." They mean young maiden of marrying material. 

The virgin concept is Pagan, and makes much more sense when it is properly understood. And that is, that the Christ (or Christ Consciousness), the Divine Spark of God, enters mankind for the first time having never before been incarnate as the seed of God in humanity. It has nothing to do with sex and the breaking of a hymen as we have been led to believe by following only a literal and historical presentation. 

Celestially speaking, Virgo (the Virgin) carries a chaff of wheat. Wheat is used for bread. Bethlehem (Bethel-hem) means "the house of bread." I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that there is much more spiritual Truth and symbolism beyond any literal or historical interpretation of the great ancient scriptures. One must dig, and dig deep. The Truth is hidden ... the "pearl of great price hidden in a field." When something is uncovered, no longer hidden, revealed (revelation), we have an "apocalypse." The Apocalypse is not the end of the world ... it is a Greek word meaning to unveil ... to reveal that which is hidden. 

As is said in Matthew 7:7 ... "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."

MYSTICAL AND METAPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION

MYSTICAL AND METAPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION

The Mystical and Metaphysical ways of interpreting ancient sacred Scripture expresses that there was purposefully concealed and hidden within the scriptural allegories, a secret doctrine, a secret doctrine which came from the Ancient Masters under exacting conditions. By using allegory and metaphor, these ancient celestial myths kept the traditions alive through symbolism and buried literary treasure for those seeking higher enlightenment and deeper Truths. As St. Paul said, “the difference between milk and strong meat.” There were the masses who accepted scripture at face value, in a literal and historical sense only, and then there were those select initiates who wanted to understand the esoteric Truths beneath the surface stories. 

These deeper esoteric Truths were highly protected and reserved for approved candidates and initiates into the secret mysteries religions of the day. The secret path to enlightenment, to the Kingdom of Heaven. At the very center, the heart of these mysteries, was the descent of the Logos (the Word) and Divine Mind into all physical matter. Into humanity, as a spark of the Divine Source of all that is. Using the celestial methods of teaching, through myth and allegory, what was revealed was the metaphysical teachings of the descent and incarnation of the Soul into all of mankind … and the Spiritual Evolution and Involution ... the awakening of the dead within the flesh of man during this lifetime ... within every child of God/Source. 

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that CHRIST has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess CHRIST is not from God; this is the spirit of the ANTICHRIST … and now it is already in the world. You are from God … for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world … The one who knows God listens to us; the one who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.”

1 John 4:1-6

This descent or the “fall” of the Soul to Earth, describes metaphorically the descent of God, the Spirit, Divine Mind, Cosmic or Christ Consciousness into the realm of physical matter, or form. This is the temporary home of the Soul during this sojourn on Earth. We come to realize, and recognize this presence of God/Source within all of humanity as the indwelling CHRIST (KRST among the Egyptians, Christos among the Greeks, Krishna among the Hindus). This spark of God, is within each of us, awaiting the awakening and resurrection from the dead within every human being NOW, in this lifetime. This was Paul's original Gnostic Gospel before the Roman Church got their empirical pen and ink on it and changed everything around to suit them and their plans for world domination. Many of Paul's Epistles were later forged, and rewritten as anti-gnostic, and the Roman Church did it's best to rewrite the Ancient Wisdom and secret Mystery Schools that taught the God WITHIN, rather than their Saviour Jesus, who was the only one to become God in the flesh.

“ … because as He is, so are we in this world.”

1 John 4:17

“For IN HIM we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘WE are his offspring.’”

Acts 17:28

Judaism maintained it's Divine Truths about “the Christ” and the “Messiah” through Kabbalah. Paul taught it through Gnosticism, and his Christ and the Divine Spark that was found within each and every man. Paul never knew of a human Jesus. Never taught a word of Jesus' teachings ... never even quoted the Sermon on The Mount. Paul's Jesus, and Rome's Jesus, were clearly different concepts of the ancient celestial and Divine Christ. So many Epistles that have been ascribed to have been written by Paul, came from the quill of Church Scribes with alternative motives. The motives were not to empower people, but to overpower them and control then through this life, the afterlife, and the next life. Research that which you believe. You’ll find empowering lessons contained deep within the surface text.

RESURRECTION SAVIOUR AND ANTI-CHRIST NOBODY TOLD YOU ABOUT

RESURRECTION SAVIOUR AND ANTI-CHRIST NOBODY TOLD YOU ABOUT

In this writing, I AM going to offer you a different view from what you have been told from the pulpits and church teachings about the New Testament Christian Gospel.

Before the Roman authorities intervened, usurped, hijacked, and literalized these biblical allegories and created a “literal and historical” based religion, there were many groups such as the Gnostics who denied an actual physical bodily resurrection of Jesus the Christ. 

Instead they believed Christ’s body was of a spiritual nature. In other words, the Gnostics, and many other Pre-Roman Church Christians (Krestiani) argued that Jesus Christ was not raised from the dead in a literal physical body.

Mainstream Christianity today considers this statement to be blasphemy. And here’s the scripture that they often use to put the final nail in the coffin:

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist” 

~2 John 1:7

Based on this scripture, the typical Christian argument states that John was aiming this scripture at those who denied Jesus was resurrected in a physical body.

Most Gnostics and early Christian sects, did not view any of the scriptures literally. They were never intended to be taken literally and historically. 

As such, John’s statement is in perfect agreement with what these people would have believed. The resurrection story of Christ wasn’t only about the literal man who walked the hills of the Galilee; it was about the spiritual awakening of the Divine nature that can happen within each individual. 

This awakening happens while “still yet in the flesh” … while still HERE ... and ALIVE in matter, in the flesh. So John’s statement rings true after all. Christ DOES come in the flesh. But this coming of Christ (the anointing - the Christ-ening) is the gnosis (mystical insight - knowingness) attained by the individual going through a profound experience in higher states of consciousness. 

This entire process happens while being in a physical body. It is the born again experience of the spiritual nature which rules over the physical nature. This spiritual nature is the Christ. Our Christ Consciousness ... the Divine Spark of the All. Scriptures remind us “the Kingdom of God/Heaven is WITHIN.” This is the temple ... this is Golgotha ... the place of the skull. 

This entire concept was taught among the Egyptian Mystery Schools and throughout the ancient world of spiritual mythology long before Christianity was formed. The Christ (crestus/krishna/chrestos) is the begotten Son of God … the Divine Spirit/Life force within every person. The breath (pneuma/spirit) that is the giver of Life. Based only on goodness and righteousness, not self serving as the base human ego is. 

Based on this view, the words credited to the Jesus of the New Testament ring true. “The Kingdom of Heaven/God lies within you … and is at hand”

The allegorical beauty of these empowering Truths have been lost on a “literal” belief system. We have lost 2,000 years of advancement, involution, and evolution. While church may offer you community and a social environment, you're missing out on the power, the Truth, and the reality that we are all ONE organism working in unison as the Universe/God/Source Energy. 

The “tomb” is your body … where the Christ awaits resurrection and release. The ancient Greeks would said “soma/sema” meaning “body/tomb.” Ancient Sanskrit defines “Manu” as Mankind/Mind, so The “Son of Man” means "son of Mind." 

When the ego remains attached to the natural man, it cannot be purified and transmuted into the spiritual ego/Higher Self. When it does, it once again becomes a “Son of God” as it was before the descent into a world of physical matter in form.

Always question everything … the Truth will speak to your Soul, and to your Spirit within.
