The document provides information about the Gospel of Judas manuscript that was rediscovered in 1970 in Egypt. It discusses what the manuscript contains, including portraying Judas in a positive light as acting on Jesus' orders, and promoting Gnostic teachings. The summary criticizes the manuscript for promoting heretical ideas rejected by the early church, such as claiming salvation comes from secret knowledge and depicting the God of the Bible negatively. Modern church leaders also reject the credibility of the Gospel of Judas.
Many of us have an endless list of questions when it comes to Bible prophecy. It is quite possible that the more we study, the more confusing it all becomes. Taken from Dr. Jeremiah's "Answers to the Unsolved Mysteries of Prophecy" booklet, these charts will help you navigate through end-times prophecy and will answer your questions about the final days of this world.
This document provides an overview of a seminar on learning to prophesy through visions. The seminar leader believes God gives visions and dreams, but we can shut them out if we don't understand how visions work. The seminar will help attendees realize past experiences may have been revelations from God, not just imagination. Churches are sometimes reluctant to accept visions, discouraging "visionary" people. The seminar aims to provide guidance on developing the gift of visions so people can share their visions instead of leaving churches. Preparing one's senses through sanctification can lead to the spiritual realm. A vision involves supernatural appearances or revelations from God. The seminar will include quick activations to demonstrate signs and re-educating one's
The document provides background information on the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, including:
- It summarizes the historical events covered in Ezra and Nehemiah from the Israelites' return from Babylon under Cyrus to the consolidation of Israel under Persian rule.
- It outlines the key figures like Cyrus, Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Ezra, Nehemiah and the Persian kings who ruled over Israel and their relationship to the events.
- It examines Ezra's role as a scribe and scholar who taught the people God's laws and helped establish order and autonomy in Judah with the support of Artaxerxes.
President John Kennedy once observed, “The history of man is the history of war?” Why is this statement true? Jesus prophesied, “You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars” (Mt. 24:6). Why is world peace so elusive and seemingly unattainable?
Why is Messiah called the “Prince of Peace”? (Isa. 9:6) How does Jesus bring “peace on earth”? (Psa. 46:9; Lk. 2:14) What is peace? What are the different kinds of peace? Are you at peace with yourself and others? How did you find peace? Is there anyone with whom you have had difficulty being at peace with? What do you suppose is the cause of your conflict? What can you do to be at peace with this person? (Rom. 12:18)
Gideon the Judge discusses a Bible study on the story of Gideon from the book of Judges. It provides context on the time period of the judges in Israel, introduces Gideon and his family, and outlines the study which will cover God raising Gideon as a mighty man of valor to deliver Israel from the Midianites. The document gives details from the biblical account of Gideon pulling down Baal's altar, gathering an army, God reducing the army to 300 men, and Gideon's eventual victory over the Midianites.
Health Reform and Preparing For The Final CrisisAntonio Bernard
The document discusses health reform and preparation for the final crisis or latter rain. It summarizes that God's plan is to restore humanity back into His image through the work of redemption. This involves restoring the perfection humanity had at creation and promoting the harmonious development of the body, mind and soul. The plan of redemption also aims to vindicate God's character before the universe by demonstrating His love through Christ. As the sanctuary doctrine teaches, God desires to dwell among His people and the heavenly sanctuary was opened in 1844 as Christ began the final atonement work to cleanse humanity. This cleansing process involves God's people purifying themselves on earth as Christ cleanses the temple in heaven.
The document is a summary of chapters 6-7 of the book of Revelation. It discusses:
1. Christ will judge the world through the seals of Revelation chapter 6, which include the four horsemen representing conquest, war, famine, and death that will be released upon the earth.
2. Christ will save believers, as represented by the sealing of the 144,000 Jewish evangelists and the great multitude from every tribe and nation in heaven in Revelation chapter 7.
3. The document emphasizes that Christ balances both judgment and grace - he will judge the world but prefers to save believers.

The document discusses references to trees, especially green trees, in the Bible that are associated with pagan worship practices. Several passages from Kings, Chronicles, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Isaiah are cited that describe how kings of Israel and Judah made offerings and sacrificed to idols on hilltops and under green trees, which God condemned. The document then suggests that bringing cut trees, specifically Christmas trees, into homes as a tradition may have originated from the pagan worship of trees that the Bible prohibited.
The church at Ephesus "the loveless church" the church at Smyrna "the resilient church" the church at Pergamum "the compromising church" The church at Thyatira "the corrupt church!"
Genesis 15 portrays an incredible picture of God's unilateral, unconditional faithfulness and promise to Abram, reiterating what He declared earlier in Genesis 12:1-3. What was the sign of His covenant? How did the sign of the covenant show His holiness and certainty in the promise God made? How does this chapter apply to you?
The document discusses serving God and choosing who or what to serve. It uses the biblical example of Joshua who faithfully served God his entire life. Some key points made include:
- Joshua served God with faithfulness from a young age until his death at 110 years old.
- He urged others to serve God and not other gods. For himself and his household, they would serve God.
- Joshua served God with fear of the Lord, avoiding anything that might displease or anger God.
The letter begins by addressing the angel of the church in Ephesus. While commending them for their works, endurance, and hatred of false teachings, Jesus rebukes them for leaving their first love. He commands them to repent and return to their former zealous works, or else He will remove their lampstand. To the overcomers, He promises access to the tree of life in paradise. Sadly, history shows the Ephesian church did not heed the warning and ultimately died out.
Unfortunately, at times even a church can condone sexual immorality. It happens every day now as churches redefine and explain away God's definition of marriage. In his letter to the church of Thyatira, Jesus tells us how seriously he views us calling sin simply "alternative" or "acceptable" or "tolerant" views. In particular, pornography is destroying nations.
The letter to the church in Laodicea criticizes them for being lukewarm in their faith. Jesus says they are neither cold nor hot in their devotion to him. While the church saw itself as rich and in need of nothing, Jesus says they are actually wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. He calls them to buy gold refined by fire, white garments and eye salve to truly understand their spiritual condition and be renewed in faith.
The church at Sardis is described as being "dead" despite having a reputation of being alive. Jesus criticizes them for relying on their own works and strength rather than the power of God. He calls them to "wake up" and strengthen their faith by remembering what they have received, keeping it, and repenting. Though most are asleep, a few members remain faithful. Jesus promises that the faithful who overcome will be dressed in white garments and have their names preserved in the Book of Life.
The document summarizes key events during and after the 1000 years described in Revelation 20. It discusses how Satan will be bound during this time to prevent deception, and the righteous will reign with Christ in heaven and judge the wicked. At the end of the 1000 years, Satan will be released and gather forces for one final attack, but will be destroyed along with the wicked in the lake of fire. Christ will then recreate the earth to be the eternal home of the righteous, where they will live freely with God forevermore.

King Nebuchadnezzar held great power as king of Babylon, but this power came from God. Over time, Nebuchadnezzar became prideful and indifferent to God's power and prophecies. As punishment for his pride, God caused Nebuchadnezzar to live like an animal for seven years. After being humbled, Nebuchadnezzar proclaimed to his people that God is sovereign and rules over all earthly kingdoms.
The document summarizes key events during the reigns of the last three kings of Judah - Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah - leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon in 586 BC. It describes how the kings rebelled against Babylon multiple times despite warnings from prophets like Jeremiah. Babylon besieged and invaded Jerusalem, exiling thousands of Jews to Babylon. Jeremiah warned Zedekiah not to ally with Egypt, but he did not listen. Jerusalem was ultimately destroyed, the temple burned, and the kingdom of Judah fell as God's punishment for their disobedience.
This document discusses how Christians should live in light of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. It examines different views on the rapture and tribulation period. The key points are:
1. Every generation of Christians believed Jesus was coming during their lifetime, based on signs in the Bible.
2. The document reviews passages suggesting the rapture occurs mid-tribulation or post-tribulation, not pre-tribulation as many believe.
3. Based on Jesus' teachings, Christians should live in constant readiness for His return, providing for others and making prudent preparations, rather than ignoring the signs of the times. How Christians live should reflect their eagerness to see Him.
The document discusses the seven churches mentioned in Revelation: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. It provides geographical and historical context for each church, and summarizes the key messages and warnings from Jesus Christ to each church as recorded in Revelation chapters 2-3. The messages address issues like leaving one's first love, suffering persecution, tolerating false teachings, and being lukewarm in faith. Each church is said to represent a different time period in church history from the 1st century AD to the present.
This document discusses biblical prophecies about the sanctuary in heaven and the antichrist power that opposes God. It describes how the antichrist power thinks to change God's law and times, and commits spiritual fornication by leading people away from God's truth. It warns that this power will try to enforce false worship and a mark of authority against God's law, but calls God's people to remain faithful to his commandments.
Judas Iscariot was one of Jesus's twelve apostles. He was from the town of Kerioth and acted as the treasurer for Jesus and the apostles. However, Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, going down in history as the apostle who turned Jesus over to the chief priests and elders. His legacy is that of the apostle who betrayed Jesus Christ.
Judas Iscariot was one of Jesus's twelve apostles who is infamous for betraying Jesus. Some key points:
1) Judas' name means "Yahweh leads" but he did not live up to his name, instead becoming history's greatest betrayer.
2) Jesus intentionally chose Judas to fulfill prophecies of betrayal, though Judas made his own choice to betray Jesus out of greed and a rejection of Jesus's teachings.
3) Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, identifying him with a kiss. Afterward, Judas felt remorse but hanged himself instead of repenting to God.
4) Judas provides a lesson about wasted opportunities

The document summarizes information about the Gospel of Judas, a papyrus manuscript discovered in Egypt in the 1970s. It questions whether the Gospel of Judas is genuine based on its dating and content. While it was likely written around AD 150-170, the Gospel of Judas is considered a Gnostic rather than Christian text that depicts a bizarre cosmology and portrays Judas in a positive light for betraying Jesus. The document concludes the Gospel of Judas has no apostolic authority and does not provide new historical information about Jesus or early Christianity.
Marxist feminism is a subtype of feminist ideology that focuses on dismantling capitalism as a way to liberate women. It believes that economic inequality, dependence, and unhealthy social relations between men and women stem from women's oppression under capitalism. Marxist feminism was developed by Engels and points out that capitalism plays a role in oppressing women, as Marxism sees individuals oppressed by dominant power structures.
Notes to accompany HOW WE GOT THE BIBLE
Many have claimed that the Old Testament contains a number of myths and legends which were created by Jewish writers in the two or three centuries before the time of Christ or soon thereafter. Others would claim that most of the New Testament was written well into the late second century AD by Christian apologists who were creating a Jesus very different from the historical person. They would claim that the gospels are not an eye-witness account at all. Another common claim is that the original writings of the apostles were radically edited by the Catholic Church in the period after the conversion of the Roman Empire, to reflect Catholic doctrine. These people would claim that the doctrines found in the New Testament are very different from the original teachings of Jesus Christ. Still others will claim
that there were additional gospels written by the apostles which were excluded by leaders in the early church because of their bias against certain teachings...
The document summarizes the rise of Christianity from the life of Jesus to the legalization of Christianity under Emperor Constantine. It discusses how Jesus was executed, how Paul helped spread the faith, and factors that aided Christianity's growth. It describes early persecution by Romans who saw Christians as undermining authority by not worshipping Roman gods. Constantine ended persecution and legalized Christianity, establishing it as the official religion, though he also persecuted Jews and heretical sects.
The document summarizes the rise and spread of Christianity from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Late Middle Ages. During this period, Christianity grew from a small persecuted sect to the dominant religion of Europe. It established a church hierarchy with the Pope at its head and adopted core beliefs and sacraments. The Crusades were a series of military expeditions called by the Pope in the 11th-13th centuries to recover the Holy Land from Muslim rule, though they ultimately failed in their goal.
The document summarizes a community health project conducted by nursing students in University City, Missouri. The students chose U-City for its diversity, history, culture, and vibrant yet small community. Their project focused on asthma and heart disease, assessing community knowledge and providing education. They set up an outdoor event with music, activities, and informational materials for all ages. Despite some challenges, the event went well due to community support and cooperation of local businesses. The students were able to gain experience working directly in the welcoming community of U-City.

This document discusses the concept of the "gospel" from both historical and theological perspectives. Historically, it traces how the term "gospel" was used and understood in 1st century Judaism and Roman society. Theologically, it examines different interpretations of the gospel, from the traditional view of salvation to broader concepts proposed by scholars like N.T. Wright. Key figures and texts from the period are referenced to provide historical and biblical context.
The document discusses the rediscovery of ancient codices containing Gnostic texts in Egypt in 1945. It then provides information about Gnostic teachings, including their dualistic beliefs about the material and spiritual worlds, notions of secret knowledge and salvation through gnosis rather than faith, and the idea that the God of the Old Testament was evil. The document also examines the content of the Gospel of Thomas, noting that about a quarter of its sayings resemble those in canonical gospels but have been adapted for Gnostic purposes, while others are uniquely Gnostic in origin.
My definition of aliens is this: Aliens are non human intelligent beings who can interact with human beings. The Bible reveals at least 7 different such beings.
The document discusses different views about the identity of Jesus, including that he was a poet, sorcerer, politician, or the Son of God. It examines evidence that Jesus existed historically and was fully human, while also making extraordinary claims about himself that suggest he was more than just a moral teacher. The document questions whether Jesus' teachings and actions, including his resurrection from the dead, support his claim to be the Son of God.
This is a study of Jesus being the greatest wise man. He had the very wisdom of His father, and as you study His teaching you come to realize that no one ever spoke as He did, and no one was ever more clever in dealing with problems and issues. He had the greatest plan for the best life for time and eternity.
1. The document discusses evidence for Jesus' existence as a historical figure and the claims he made about himself according to the New Testament.
2. It examines the logical possibilities that Jesus was either a madman, liar, or who he claimed to be - the Son of God.
3. The evidence presented includes Jesus' teaching, works, character, fulfillment of prophecies, and the event of his resurrection which transformed Christianity from a small sect into a major world religion.
This is a study of how Jesus used the words that David spoke through the Holy Spirit to frustrate the Jewish leaders and bring much pleasure to the people.
This document provides an overview of channeling and discusses several examples of channeling throughout history. It begins by defining channeling as allowing a spiritual entity to speak through one's body. It then summarizes examples of channeling from 2000 years ago up until modern times, including figures like Jesus, St. Paul, Emanuel Swedenborg, and Maria Valtorta. The document suggests criteria for discerning true messages received through channeling by comparing them to established religious texts like the Bible or Divine Principle.
Class 4 lift up jesus - THE SUPERNATURAL BIBLE STUDY - june 2016London Church
The document discusses evidence for Jesus performing miracles and being divine rather than just a prophet or teacher. It presents four Bible studies as examples:
1) The Supernatural Bible study examines prophecies about Jesus hundreds of years before his birth to argue the Bible has supernatural origins.
2) Jesus: Lord, Lunatic, Liar or Legend? discusses Jesus' controversial claims to being God and evaluates whether he could have been lying or mistaken.
3) The Miracles of Jesus defines miracles and examines the historical evidence for Jesus' miracles like raising Lazarus, using criteria like eyewitnesses and effects, to argue they show his divinity.
4) The Resurrection of Jesus is
Jesus performed many miracles as documented in the Bible to (1) confirm his divine claims and authority, (2) show compassion for those suffering, and (3) create faith in himself as the Messiah. The document discusses several of Jesus' miracles in detail and notes they fulfilled prophecies about the coming Messiah having supernatural powers of healing and exorcism.
This presentation discusses how ancient Babylonian mystery religions have influenced modern institutions like Christianity and new religious movements. It examines the founders and teachings of groups like the Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, and Mormonism, noting similarities between their doctrines and symbols and those of esoteric traditions like Freemasonry and Gnosticism. The presentation suggests the founders of these groups, like Charles Taze Russell, Mary Baker Eddy, and Joseph Smith, had connections to Freemasonry and incorporated elements of the mystery religions into their teachings, such as the worship of a divine trinity, attainment of godhood through gnosis or secret knowledge, and an allegorical interpretation of scripture.
God exists because he created humans with an innate desire and need for him. While many try to fill this "God-shaped vacuum" with other things, only God can satisfy it. Evidence of intelligent design in nature points to a Creator. Scientific discoveries about the immense size and intricate laws of the universe also suggest it was created by an omnipotent God.

This document contains a question and answer section about how China became great without Christianity, followed by a short summary of how God judges people based on the revelation they have received. It then provides a summary of the political and religious context in Judea during the time of Daniel, including the various empires that dominated the region and how Daniel and his friends were taken to Babylon. The final section discusses whether Hitler could truly be considered a Christian given his actions and the influence of Nietzsche's philosophy on Nazi ideology. It argues that Hitler suppressed Christianity and banned the Bible and cross, so he did not genuinely follow Christianity.
The document discusses several key aspects of Christianity including:
1) It references texts from the Old Testament and New Testament such as the Ten Commandments and the story of Jesus' arrest.
2) It outlines some core beliefs of Christianity like the Trinity, Jesus' resurrection, salvation, and the inspiration of the Bible.
3) It briefly describes the origins and history of Christianity originating from Judaism, the life of Jesus, and the spread of churches worldwide.
4) It also summarizes some major branches of modern Christianity including Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Mormonism, and Jehovah's Witnesses.
The document discusses evidence for the identity of Jesus Christ. It examines his claims to be the Messiah and Son of God, as well as prophecies about the Messiah from the Old Testament that Jesus fulfilled. The document also considers Jesus' miracles and the strongest evidence for his resurrection, which is the empty tomb and eyewitness accounts from over 500 people. The resurrection is the most important fact because it validates Jesus' identity and provides hope of eternal life. Non-Christian sources like Josephus and Tacitus also corroborate the basic facts about Jesus. The document analyzes alternative theories for the resurrection but finds them inadequate. Overall, it argues the historical evidence points to Jesus being the promised Messiah.
This is a study of Jesus being sarcastic. Some record 4 times he used sarcasm, but others have a longer list. He used this type of language in a humorous way, and also in a very serious way. Read and see for yourself.
The Wisdom Books were composed after the Babylonian exile and include Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Sirach, and the Song of Songs. They aim to inspire moral integrity and show how sin can lead to personal collapse. They discuss issues like justice, suffering, and finding meaning in life. A key theme is that wisdom is trusting God even when facing difficulties that cannot be understood.
From the episode: https://www.gospelconversations.com/talks/problem-of-religion
The Epistle to the Hebrews breaks new ground in the debate over religion and grace. In this talk we look at who wrote it, and what problem it is trying to solve - really important questions since it is such an alien book to us modern people in many ways. We delve into the book of Acts in detail and uncover the deep struggle between Jerusalem and Rome that defined the faith in its early days. And we find in the writer to the Hebrews, the man who arguably took over the baton of thought leadership in the early church from Paul and pushed the gospel to its natural boundaries far from the confining views of Jerusalem.

This document discusses the roles of men and women in the church. It outlines the seven clerical orders and notes that the priesthood is comprised of deacons, priests, and bishops, which are only open to men. It provides details on the roles of deacons and priests. While women cannot be priests, the document highlights examples of saintly women in the Bible and notes the important prophetic roles women have played in revealing aspects of the church. Overall, it examines the theological reasoning for distinguishing roles while emphasizing that roles do not determine relative value between men and women.

When you say there is evil, aren’t you admitting there is good?
When you accept the existence of goodness, you must affirm a moral law on the basis of which to differentiate between good and evil.
But when you admit to a moral law, you must posit a moral lawgiver.[
The document discusses the reliability of the Bible by examining prophecy, integrity, and textual criticism. It outlines how prophecies in the Bible have been fulfilled, distinguishing it from other religious texts. Specific prophecies about Jesus' first coming are analyzed, showing how he fulfilled over 100 prophecies about characteristics like his birthplace, lineage, and manner of death. The accurate fulfillment of prophecies affirms the Bible's divine origin and reliability.

Other writings make great claims but contain no prophecy unique to them that establishes “truth"
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” (Romans 8:14)
Exactly how are we be led by the Holy Spirit?
Exactly how does the Holy Spirit communicate to all of us in this life?
If the Bible calls the Holy Spirit our Guide and Teacher in this life, then this means He will attempt to communicate to all of us from time to time.
Otherwise we will never be able to pick up from Him exactly what He is trying to teach us or tell us to do.
The very first thing we need to know if we want to learn how to be led by the Holy Spirit is that
We can develop a direct personal relationship with Him
Just like you already have with God and Jesus.
Here are two key verses from the apostle Paul telling us that we are allowed to have direct communication and direct fellowship with the Holy Spirit Himself:
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” (2 Corinthians 13:14)
“Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit …” (Phillippians 2:1)

“Being the right person to serve my future spouse’s needs and be a God-glorifying husband or wife”
"Acceptable" is such a loose term, so it's hard to say what is "acceptable" for any given person. After all, everyone is a different individual and their situations and maturity will vary greatly. Something that is acceptable for one person may not be acceptable for another.
Also keep in mind 1 Corinthians 10:23 (NIV), which says, "'I have the right to do anything,' you say—but not everything is beneficial. 'I have the right to do anything'—but not everything is constructive." We have many freedoms through Christ, but that doesn't mean that everything will be healthy or good for you.
The document discusses the problem of suffering and evil in the world. It presents three main categories of suffering: 1) Suffering caused by man, 2) Natural disasters, and 3) Disease. It also notes that atheists use the pervasiveness of suffering to discredit the idea of a loving God. However, theists believe God may have reasons for allowing suffering that humans do not understand. The document argues that atheists must prove: 1) The impossibility of God using evil for a greater good, 2) That God could have no reasons for allowing suffering, and 3) An instance of definitively pointless suffering. But overall, humans may lack the information to make definitive judgments about God's reasons for permitting evil

This document discusses using an agile delivery model for strategic programs. It proposes that agile methodologies can be suitable for large organizations and problems by scaling up the approach. For example, a single scrum team may consist of 7-9 people planning in 2-week sprints with user stories, while a program may consist of 7-9 teams planning in quarterly iterations with customer features. The document outlines levels of planning from portfolio teams down to delivery teams. It also discusses estimating and planning milestone deliverables, iterating rather than incrementing work, and using an agile approach like "Ready...Fire...Aim" for large strategic programs and portfolios.
The document discusses views on sex, premarital relationships, and masturbation from a religious perspective. It presents arguments that:
1) Sex was created by God for the loving union of husband and wife within marriage to bond the couple and allow procreation. Premarital sex risks damaging future relationships and marriage.
2) Masturbation that involves lustful thoughts is sinful according to scripture. It can also lead to sexual addiction and experimentation with unclean acts.
3) Not masturbating is not unhealthy as the body naturally reabsorbs unused sperm cells, and any residual secretions are released through nocturnal emissions. Remaining pure allows one to live a holy life as called by God
St. Paul's life transformed dramatically from persecutor of Christians to their greatest advocate. After his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, where he was blinded by a bright light and heard Jesus' voice, Paul underwent a conversion and became a sincere disciple. He spent years preaching in Arabia, Damascus, Syria, and Cilicia before Barnabas took Paul under his wing and introduced him to other Christians. Together, they were then sent by the church in Antioch to preach in Cyprus, Pamphylia and Phrygia.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
2. The Rediscovery?
• In the 1970’s a
manuscript called
Codex Tchacos,
surfaces near El
Minya, in the
desert of Egypt
and is the only
known
manuscript that
includes this so-
called gospel of
Judas.
3. What is it?
• Not the Epistle of Jude the brother of James (Jude 1) in
the Bible
• In 2000 the manuscript was finally sold to an Egyptian-
born Greek dealer named Frieda Nussberger-Tchacos,
who turned the documents over to experts at Yale
University's Beinecke Library, whom she viewed as
possible buyers.
• In 2001 Nussburger-Tchacos determined to sell the
codex to the Swiss-based Maecenas Foundation for
Ancient Art. The foundation had clearly stated its goal to
restore, preserve, and publish the long-hidden text and
then return the original to its country of origin.
4. What is it?
• The foundation entered into
partnership with the National
Geographic Society, which
announced the ‘Gospel’ of Judas to
the world after nearly 1,700 years
of seclusion.
• The restored original will be
delivered to Cairo's Coptic
Museum….
5. Why has it created such a stir?
• Although perhaps 15 to 20 percent of the
original document was lost, the remainder is a
revelation—more than sufficient to tell the tale of
Judas and Jesus as we've never heard it before.
• The Gospel features dialogues between the
"savior," (not named as Jesus in the surviving
pages) and his disciples. Scholars believe that
these conversations are meant to have occurred
after Jesus' resurrection, though the text is
incomplete and it is difficult to determine an
accurate chronology of its events.
6. Judas a Hero?
• After nearly 2,000 years, the most hated man in history
is back.
• Everyone remembers the story of Jesus Christ’s close
friend, one of the 12 Apostles, who sold him out for 30
pieces of silver, identifying him with a kiss. Later, crazed
with guilt, Judas hanged himself. He is the ultimate
symbol of treachery. Stockyards call the goat that leads
other animals to slaughter the Judas goat. In Germany,
officials can forbid new parents from choosing the name
Judas. Guides at the historic Coptic Hanging Church in
Old Cairo point out one black column in the church’s
white colonnades—Judas, of course. Christianity would
not be the same without its traitor.
7. Judas a Hero?
• The “secret account” gives us a very different
Judas. In this version, he is a hero. Unlike the
other disciples, he truly understands Christ’s
message. In handing Jesus over to the
authorities, he is doing his leader’s bidding,
knowing full well the fate he will bring on himself.
Jesus warns him: “You will be cursed.”
• In a world that turns sin to virtue it makes sense
to even turn the most famous traitor to a hero.
8. What the Early Church Said
• Irenaeus of Lyons (130-202 CE) was a heresy hunter in
the same caliber of Tertullian (155–230 CE) and
Hippolytus (170-236 CE). He excoriated heresies in a
work called Adversus Haereses (the full title of which is
the "Refutation and Overthrow of Knowledge falsely
so-called").
• He wrote "They declare that Judas the traitor was
thoroughly acquainted with these things (divine
enlightenment), and that he alone, knowing the truth as
no others did, accomplished the mystery of the betrayal;
by him all things, both earthly and heavenly, were thus
thrown into confusion. They (the Gnostic writers)
produce a fictitious history of this kind, which they style
the Gospel of Judas." (1.31.1)
9. What the Early Church Said
• The "Gospel of Judas" was also referred
to by Origen in the year 230 in his book
Stromateis, which vehemently asserted
distain upon Gnosticism. (Means “mystical
teachings to escape from this world
through the acquisition of hidden
knowledge.”)
10. What the Early Church Said
• In AD 367, St. Athanasius the Apostolic, urged Christians to
“cleanse the church from every defilement” and to reject “the hidden
books.”
• St.Paul sharply rebuked the early Christians for giving heed to
seducing doctrines that could shake a person's faith. “Evidently
some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to
pervert the gospel of Christ ... If anybody is preaching to you a
gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally
condemned!” (Galatians 1:7-9, NIV).
• St.Peter said, “But there were also false prophets among the
people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will
secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign
Lord who bought them — bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth
into disrepute.” (2 Peter 2:1-2, NIV).

Knowing that Judas was reflecting upon something
that was exalted, Jesus said to him,
“Step away from the others and I shall tell you the
mysteries of the kingdom. It is possible for you
to reach it, but you will grieve a great deal. [36]
For someone else will replace you, in order that

Judas said to him, “When will you tell me these

But when he said this, Jesus left him.
14. Its teachings
• After reading the "Gospel of Judas", one will be introduced to new
titles and deities not commonly referenced today. However, they
were known in that first century among the Syrian-Egyptic Gnostics
such as the Sethians, Thomasines, Valentinians and
Basilideans.
• An example passage reads "His name was Nebro, which means
‘rebel’; others call him Yaldabaoth. Another angel, Saklas (means
"foolish one"), also came from the cloud." The Yaldabaoth, a
'serpent with a lion's head'. This figure is commonly known as the
Demiurge, after the figure in Plato's "Timaeus". This imperfect
divine is taught as the one who created the universe.
• The author claims that God, the Father of Jesus is Barbelo.
“Barbelo”, in Gnostic writings is the first emanation from the divine
essence and mother of all Aeons. These figures have largely to do
with the origin of the universe, and they are commonly found in
Gnostic treatises from Nag Hammadi.
15. Its teachings
• The Gospel of Judas states that Jesus told Judas "You shall be
cursed for generations." It then adds to this conversation that Jesus
had told Judas "you will come to rule over them," and that "You will
exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me."
• The Gospel of Judas not only asserts that the actions of Judas were
necessary, but that Judas was acting on the orders of Jesus
himself. It is no longer a pride-driven rebellion against God's divine
purpose, but Judas' actions are venerated as most profound in
keeping with God's will.
• Gnostic writings will often exonerate orthodox villains as the hero or
heroines to be revered. Jesus purportly said in another passage
"Look, you have been told everything. Lift up your eyes and look at
the cloud and the light within it and the stars surrounding it. The star
that leads the way is your star."
16. Who are the Gnostics
• The Gospel of Judas is typical of many Gnostic writings,
with its notions that:
– Salvation comes through the knowledge of one's divine origin,
– Salvation is exclusive and offered only to the elite,
– Majority of Christians are caught in error and serving the wrong
God,
– Physical existence is a deities fouled mistake and needs to be
transcended,
– Jesus was a teacher of esoteric truths that bear almost no
resemblance to anything a first-century Jewish prophet would
have taught.
17. Who are the Gnostics
• The Gnostics prized their secret
knowledge, and taught a profound dualism
between the material and spiritual worlds.
• They understood the material world,
including the entire cosmos, to be a trap
for the spiritual world.
• In essence, the Gnostics sought to escape
the material world and to enter the spirit
world.
18. Gnostic Teachings
• The Apophatic (means “negative”) Theology mode of
thinking about God is found throughout Gnosticism,
Vendantic Hinduism, Platonic and Aristotelian theology.
Irenaeus alleged that a large number of Gnostic groups,
were semi-maltheists believing that the god of the Old
Testament was evil, and a quite different and much
lesser being to the deity that had created the universe,
and who was responsible for sending Jesus.
• Many Gnostic groups worshipped as heroes all the
Biblical figures which had sought to discover knowledge
or challenge Yahweh's authority, while demonizing those
who would have been seen as heroes in a more
orthodox interpretation.
19. Gnostic Teachings
• Such is the reversal role that we see Mary
Magdalene as harlot turned choice companion
of Christ in the "Gospel of Mary." Gnostics
notoriously flip the canvas of good and evil in
keeping with the understanding of their theology.
For example, in Gnostic stories of creation the
world and humankind are created by a vile god.
But the good serpent comes to reveal
knowledge to people so they can escape the evil
creation.
• Dan Brown borrows this Gnostic Idea to make
his Millions
20. The Attack on Christianity
• The Gospel of Judas claimed, [Judas [said] to him, “I
know who you are and where you have come from. You
are from the immortal realm of Barbelo. And I am not
worthy to utter the name of the one who has sent you.”]
• In fact, the name “Barbelo” is no where in the Bible.
Moreover, it is well know that the name of God revealed
to Moses in the Book of Exodus is “Yahweh”. God further
said to Moses, ‘You are to tell the Israelites, “Yahweh,
the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God
of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This
is my name for all time, and thus I am to be invoked for
all generations to come.” (Exodus 3:15, NJB).
21. The Attack on Christianity
• The Lord Jesus Christ is begotten from
the eternal heavenly Father, not from
“Barbelo” as claimed. Christ is the ruler
over Israel, “whose origins are from of old,
from ancient times.” (Micah 5:2, NIV).
22. What the Modern Church Says
• Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury,
condemned the credibility of the gospel during his 2006
Easter address, saying, "This is a demonstrably late text
which simply parallels a large number of quite well-
known works from the more eccentric fringes of the early
century Church." He went on to suggest that the book's
publicity derives from an insatiable desire for conspiracy
theories. "We are instantly fascinated by the suggestion
of conspiracies and cover-ups; this has become so much
the stuff of our imagination these days that it is only
natural, it seems, to expect it when we turn to ancient
texts, especially biblical texts."
23. What the Modern Church Says
• Pope Benedict XVI of Rome responded on
April 13, 2006 "The Vatican, grants the
recently surfaced Judas' Gospel no credit
with regards to its apocryphal claims that
Judas betrayed Jesus in compliance with
the latter's own requests.”

Editor's Notes
http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/gospel/feature.html
After nearly 2,000 years, the most hated man in history is back.
Everyone remembers the story of Jesus Christ’s close friend, one of the 12 Apostles, who sold him out for 30 pieces of silver, identifying him with a kiss. Later, crazed with guilt, Judas hanged himself. He is the ultimate symbol of treachery. Stockyards call the goat that leads other animals to slaughter the Judas goat. In Germany, officials can forbid new parents from choosing the name Judas. Guides at the historic Coptic Hanging Church in Old Cairo point out one black column in the church’s white colonnades—Judas, of course. Christianity would not be the same without its traitor.
There is a sinister backdrop to traditional depictions of Judas. As Christianity distanced itself from its origins as a Jewish sect, Christian thinkers found it increasingly convenient to blame the Jews as a people for the arrest and execution of Christ, and to cast Judas as the archetypal Jew. The four Gospels, for example, treat Roman governor Pontius Pilate gently while condemning Judas and the Jewish high priests.
The “secret account” gives us a very different Judas. In this version, he is a hero. Unlike the other disciples, he truly understands Christ’s message. In handing Jesus over to the authorities, he is doing his leader’s bidding, knowing full well the fate he will bring on himself. Jesus warns him: “You will be cursed.”
This message is startling enough to raise suspicions of fraud, common with alleged biblical artifacts. For example, an empty limestone box said to have held the bones of James, brother of Jesus, attracted massive crowds when it was displayed in 2002—but soon turned out to be an ingenious fake.
A Gospel of Judas is clearly more enticing than an empty box, but so far every test confirms its antiquity. The National Geographic Society, which is helping support the restoration and translation of the manuscript, commissioned a top carbon-dating laboratory at the University of Arizona to analyze the papyrus book, or codex, containing the gospel. Tests on five separate samples from the papyrus and the leather binding date the codex to sometime between A.D. 220 and 340. The ink appears to be an ancient recipe—a mix of iron gall and soot inks. And Coptic scholars say telltale turns of phrase in the gospel indicate that it was translated from Greek, the language in which most Christian texts were originally written in the first and second centuries. “We all feel comfortable putting this copy in the fourth century,” one expert says, “and Kasser is sure enough to devote the end of his life to it.”
A further confirmation comes from the distant past. Around A.D. 180, Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyon in what was then Roman Gaul, wrote a massive treatise called Against Heresies. The book was a fierce denunciation of all those whose views about Jesus and his message differed from those of the mainstream church. Among those he attacked was a group who revered Judas, “the traitor,” and had produced a “fictitious history,” which “they style the Gospel of Judas.”
Decades before the fragile manuscript in Kasser’s hands was written, the angry bishop apparently knew of the original Greek text.
Irenaeus had plenty of heresies to contend with. In the early centuries of Christianity, what we call the church, operating through a top-down hierarchy of priests and bishops, was only one of many groups inspired by Jesus. Biblical scholar Marvin Meyer of Chapman University, who worked with Kasser to translate the gospel, sums up the situation as “Christianity trying to find its style.”
For example, a group called the Ebionites maintained that Christians should obey all Jewish religious laws, while another, the Marcionites, rejected any connection between the God of the New Testament and the Jewish God. Some said that Jesus had been wholly divine, contradicting those who insisted he was completely human. Yet another sect, the Carpocratians, allegedly indulged in ritualized spouse swapping. Many of these groups were Gnostics, followers of the same strain of early Christianity reflected in the Judas gospel.
“Gnosis means ‘knowledge’ in Greek,” Meyer explains. The Gnostics “believed that there is an ultimate source of goodness, which they thought of as the divine mind, outside the physical universe. Humans carry a spark of that divine power, but they are cut off by the material world all around them”—a flawed world, as the Gnostics saw it, the work of an inferior creator rather than the ultimate God.
While Christians like Irenaeus stressed that only Jesus, the son of God, was simultaneously human and divine, the Gnostics proposed that ordinary people could be connected to God. Salvation lay in awakening that divine spark within the human spirit and reconnecting with the divine mind. Doing so required the guidance of a teacher, and that, according to the Gnostics, was Christ’s role. Those who grasped his message could become as divine as Christ himself.
