Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Testament of Jesus
And Romans was not suspended for an instant during his life. 'they elected to murder Jesus, and the Jews said, most impiously, His blood be on us, and on our children. As a people, they do not regret it to this day. Jesus warned them publicly that their destruction, as a nation, would be permitted. They deserved no better fate for why should the all-father so arrange circumstances as to prevent the destruction of such wretches? They got the treatment they demanded. In the charity of his soul, Jesus prayed the Father to forgive them, for, said he, they know not what they. Do. But it is a well-known axiom that ignorance of the law never excuses the crim inal. The true sacred character of Jesus, as would be expected, shone out grandly, despite most unfavourable circumstances. Forgiveness must only be allowed to the repentant, who have themselves atoned for their evil past by the performance of perhaps a very long series of good deeds as compensation, thereby proving conclusive ly to all, that they no longer love darkness, but the light. It must occur to the most superficial thinker that it is absurd, yea, outrageous to be told to believe that the Father could forgive people who did just the very thing he had purposed and desired them to do.

Excerpt from The Testament of Jesus
In the name of the One, the Infinite.
Man is a fallen archangel. His primal and real home is the heavens. He has neither descended directly from his archangelic state to be a man, nor ascended directly to his present stage of existence from the condition of a devil of the lowest hell. At the first, God the eternal Father existed alone, silent, immense, and immovable. He is the One, the Infinite. None can comprehend him. Only the Infinite can comprehend infinity. From himself he produced the Second, who therefore is neither eternal nor infinite, but is universal, and everlastingly the Holy Spirit of God, and the greatest after him, in truth, his counterpart. From the Second, the Mater Magna of the universe, by the will of the First, the One, the Eternal, immortal spirits were created, as the sparks proceed from a fire. There were innumerable choirs of them, and by the First, and Second, and these immortal spirits, the heavens were made glorious. The will of these immortal spirits was free, and they were capable of desires. Suns and earths were created afterwards, to be habitations for some of them who dreaded not to lapse from their native heavens. Other hells of many kinds began to have existence, and will exist for ever for the fallen. Lapsed spirits alone are responsible for the existence of other than heaven-spheres. The conditions are made by their conduct, and neither willed nor planned by the All-Father. He makes no monsters, nor unhappy conditions. Possibilities last for ever.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique and challenging reinterpretation of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The author, deeply rooted in the tradition of ancient religious texts and mystical thought, argues that Jesus was not merely a historical figure, but rather a divine messenger sent to guide humanity. The book delves into the spiritual lineage of Jesus, tracing his ancestry back to Adam and God, and exploring his place within a broader line of "Messengers" throughout history, including figures like Moses, Mohammed, and Genghis Khan. The author also offers a nuanced interpretation of Jesus's teachings, emphasizing the importance of personal spiritual growth and challenging the conventional interpretations of Christian doctrine that have prevailed for centuries. Through a blend of historical analysis, theological discourse, and spiritual reflection, this book offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on the enduring mystery of Jesus Christ and his impact on the course of human history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
