And all those round about him listened to his words with amazement, for his word was with power, and he taught quite otherwise than the priests and scribes.
And though the sun was now set, they departed not to their homes. They sat round about Jesus and asked him: "Master, which are these laws of life? Rest with us awhile longer and teach us. We would listen to your teaching that we may be healed and become righteous."
And Jesus himself sat down in their midst and said: "I tell you truly, none can be happy, except he do the Law."
And the others answered: "We all do the laws of Moses, our lawgiver, even as they are written in the holy scriptures."
And Jesus answered: "Seek not the law in your scriptures, for the law is life, whereas the scripture is dead. I tell you truly, Moses received not his laws from God in writing, but through the living word. The law is living word of living God to living prophets for living men. In everything that is life is the law written. You find it in the grass, in the tree, in the river, in the mountain, in the birds of heaven, in the fishes of the sea; but seek it chiefly in yourselves. For I tell you truly, all living things are nearer to God than the scripture which is without life. God so made life and all living things that they might by the everlasting word teach the laws of the true God to man. God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit. They are in your breath, your blood, your bone; in your flesh, your bowels, your eyes, your ears, and in every little part of your body. They are present in the air, in the water, in the earth, in the plants, in the sunbeams, in the depths and in the heights. They all speak to you that you may understand the tongue and the will of the living God. But you shut your eyes that you may not see, and you shut your ears that you may not hear. I tell you truly, that the scripture is the work of man, but life and all its hosts are the work of our God. Wherefore do you not listen to the words of God which are written in His works? And wherefore do you study the dead scriptures which are the work of the hands of men?"
Is this different from what your used too? I'm sure it is. Let's look further at this. Who gave who permission to canonise 66 books? What has been added and what has been removed? This was Constantine in or around 350 AD. Before him Marcion had written his own 'New Testament' of the Gospel of Luke with Paul's letters. He was excommunicated by his 'church' but his writings did persist for some time. Likewise, after the exile to Babylon, some of those who returned (Ezra, Nehemiah, Zerubbabel, Hannaniah, Michael & Azariah, Daniel, Mordecai and others) formed the Great Synagogue writing up the final books for the Old Testament canon (Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Haggai, Zechariah & Malachi). Hmmm. Who gave them permission either? Nevertheless, in all this, there are some Holy Scriptures which assist but they're only a help to the relationship with Yah. We also find that Ezra dictated 204 books for the scribes to write. (4 Ezra chapter 14:17-48 says: [17] “For look how much the world shall be weaker through age, so much the more shall evils increase upon them that dwell therein.
[18] For the time is fled far away, and leasing is hard at hand: for now hasteth the vision to come, which thou hast seen.
[19] Then answered I before thee, and said,
[20] Behold, Lord, I will go, as thou hast commanded me, and reprove the people which are present: but they that shall be born afterward, who shall admonish them? thus the world is set in darkness, and they that dwell therein are without light.
[21] For thy law is burnt, therefore no man knoweth the things that are done of thee, or the work that shall begin.
[22] But if I have found grace before thee, send the Holy Ghost into me, and I shall write all that hath been done in the world since the beginning, which were written in thy law, that men may find thy path, and that they which will live in the latter days may live.
[23] And he answered me, saying, Go thy way, gather the people together, and say unto them, that they seek thee not for forty days.
[24] But look thou prepare thee many box trees, and take with thee Sarea, Dabria, Selemia, Ecanus, and Asiel, these five which are ready to write swiftly;
[25] And come hither, and I shall light a candle of understanding in thine heart, which shall not be put out, till the things be performed which thou shalt begin to write.
[26] And when thou hast done, some things shalt thou publish, and some things shalt thou shew secretly to the wise: to morrow this hour shalt thou begin to write.
[27] Then went I forth, as he commanded, and gathered all the people together, and said,
[28] Hear these words, O Israel.
[29] Our fathers at the beginning were strangers in Egypt, from whence they were delivered:
[30] And received the law of life, which they kept not, which ye also have transgressed after them.
[31] Then was the land, even the land of Sion, parted among you by lot: but your fathers, and ye yourselves, have done unrighteousness, and have not kept the ways which the Highest commanded you.
[32] And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took from you in time the thing that he had given you.
[33] And now are ye here, and your brethren among you.
[34] Therefore if so be that ye will subdue your own understanding, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive and after death ye shall obtain mercy.
[35] For after death shall the judgment come, when we shall live again: and then shall the names of the righteous be manifest, and the works of the ungodly shall be declared.
[36] Let no man therefore come unto me now, nor seek after me these forty days.
[37] So I took the five men, as he commanded me, and we went into the field, and remained there.
[38] And the next day, behold, a voice called me, saying, Esdras, open thy mouth, and drink that I give thee to drink.
[39] Then opened I my mouth, and, behold, he reached me a full cup, which was full as it were with water, but the colour of it was like fire.
[40] And I took it, and drank: and when I had drunk of it, my heart uttered understanding, and wisdom grew in my breast, for my spirit strengthened my memory:
[41] And my mouth was opened, and shut no more.
[42] The Highest gave understanding unto the five men, and they wrote the wonderful visions of the night that were told, which they knew not: and they sat forty days, and they wrote in the day, and at night they ate bread.
[43] As for me. I spake in the day, and I held not my tongue by night.
[44] In forty days they wrote two hundred and four books.
[45] And it came to pass, when the forty days were filled, that the Highest spake, saying, The first that thou hast written publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy may read it:
[46] But keep the seventy last, that thou mayest deliver them only to such as be wise among the people:
[47] For in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge.
[48] And I did so.”) Even further back was it Samuel who wrote the OT history books or Moses who wrote the Law but here in this passage we read "Seek not the law in your scriptures, for the law is life, whereas the scripture is dead. I tell you truly, Moses received not his laws from God in writing, but through the living word. The law is living word of living God to living prophets for living men."
A pattern is establishing here. Where did Yahusha (Jesus) first appear to Moses? Looks like it was this passage. (Exodus 3:1-4.) "Now Moses was tending the sheep of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. Leading the flock to the far side of the desert, he came to the mountain of Yah, to Horev. The angel of Yah appeared to him in a fire blazing from the middle of a bush. He looked and saw that although the bush was flaming with fire, yet the bush was not being burned up. Moses said, "I'm going to go over and see this amazing sight and find out why the bush isn't being burned up." When Yah saw that he had gone over to see, Yah called to him from the middle of the bush, "Moses! Moses!" He answered, "Here I am." We also see that He talked to Elijah. (1 Kings 19:9-11.) "There he went into a cave and spent the night. Then the word of Yah came to him; He said to him, "What are you doing here, Eliyahu?" He answered, "I have been very zealous for Yah the Head of armies, because the people of Isra'el have abandoned Your covenant, broken down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. Now I'm the only one left, and they're coming after me to kill me too." He said, "Go outside, and stand on the mountain before Yah;" Also, we hear He spoke with Yahusha because of these words: (Mark 10:17-22.) "As He was starting on His way, a man ran up, kneeled down in front of Him and asked, "Good Rabbi, what should I do to obtain eternal life?" Yahusha said to him, "Why are you calling Me good? No one is good except Yahuah! You know the mitzvot—'Don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal, don't give false testimony, don't defraud, honour your father and mother, ...'" "Rabbi," he said, "I have kept all these since I was a boy." Yahusha, looking at him, felt love for him and said to him, "You're missing one thing. Go, sell whatever you own, give to the poor, and you will have riches in Heaven. Then come, follow Me!" Shocked by this word, he went away sad; because he was a wealthy man."
Take a look too at this passage from Essene Gospel of Peace. See if you understand it. "Seek the fresh air of the forest and of the fields, and there in the midst of them shall you find the angel of air. Put off your shoes and your clothing and suffer the angel of air to embrace all your body. Then breathe long and deeply, that the angel of air may be brought within you. I tell you truly, the angel of air shall cast out of your body all uncleannesses which defiled it without and within. And thus shall all evil-smelling and unclean things rise out of you, as the smoke of fire curls upwards and is lost in the sea of the air. For I tell you truly, holy is the angel of air, who cleanses all that is unclean and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odour. No man may come before the face of God, whom the angel of air lets not pass. Truly, all must be born again by air and by truth, for your body breathes the air of the Earthly Mother, and your spirit breathes the truth of the Heavenly Father.
"After the angel of air, seek the angel of water. Put off your shoes and your clothing and suffer the angel of water to embrace all your body. Cast yourselves wholly into his enfolding arms, and as often as you move the air with your breath, move with your body the water also. I tell you truly, the angel of water shall cast out of your body all uncleannesses which defiled it without and within. And all unclean and evil-smelling things shall flow out of you, even as the uncleannesses of garments washed in water flow away and are lost in the stream of the river. I tell you truly, holy is the angel of water who cleanses all that is unclean and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odour. No man may come before the face of Yah whom the angel of water lets not pass. In very truth, all must be born again of water and of truth, for your body bathes in the river of earthly life, and your spirit bathes in the river of life everlasting. For you receive your blood from our Earthly Mother and the truth from our Heavenly Father.
"Think not that it is sufficient that the angel of water embrace you outwards only. I tell you truly, the uncleanness within is greater by much than the uncleanness without. And he who cleanses himself without, but within remains unclean, is like to tombs that outwards are painted fair, but are within full of all manner of horrible uncleannesses and abominations. So I tell you truly, suffer the angel of water to baptise you also within, that you may become free from all your past sins, and that within likewise you may become as pure as the river's foam sporting in the sunlight.
"Seek, therefore, a large trailing gourd, having a stalk the length of a man; take out its inwards and fill it with water from the river which the sun has warmed. Hang it upon the branch of a tree, and kneel upon the ground before the angel of water, and suffer the end of the stalk of the trailing gourd to enter your hinder parts, that the water may flow through all your bowels. Afterwards rest kneeling on the ground before the angel of water and pray to the living God that he will forgive you all your past sins, and pray the angel of water that he will free your body from every uncleanness and disease. Then let the water run out from your body, that it may carry away from within it all the unclean and evil-smelling things of Satan. And you shall see with your eyes and smell with your nose all the abominations, and uncleannesses which defiled the temple of your body; even all the sins which abode in your body, tormenting you with all manner of pains. I tell you truly, baptism with water frees you from all of these. Renew your baptising with water on every day of your fast, till the day when you see that the water which flows out of you is as pure as the river's foam. Then betake your body to the coursing river, and there in the arms of the angel of water render thanks to the living God that he has freed you from your sins. And this holy baptising by the angel of water is: Rebirth unto the new life. For your eyes shall henceforth see, and your ears shall hear. Sin no more, therefore, after your baptism, that the angels of air and of water may eternally abide in you and serve you evermore.
"And if afterward there remain within you aught of your past sins and uncleannesses, seek the angel of sunlight. Put off your shoes and your clothing and suffer the angel of sunlight to embrace all your body. Then breathe long and deeply, that the angel of sunlight may be brought within you. And the angel of sunlight shall cast out of your body all evil-smelling and unclean things which defiled it without and within. And all unclean and evil-smelling things shall rise from you, even as the darkness of night fades before the brightness of the rising sun. For I tell you truly, holy is the angel of sunlight who cleans out all uncleannesses and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odour. None may come before the face of God, whom the angel of sunlight lets not pass. Truly, all must be born again of sun and of truth, for your body basks in the sunlight of the Earthly Mother, and your spirit basks in the sunlight of the truth of the Heavenly Father.
"The angels of air and of water and of sunlight are brethren. They were given to the Son of Man that they might serve him, and that he might go always from one to the other."
So there you have it. Air water and sunshine heal you after baptism in water. Who also is this Earthly Mother? It's Ruach HaKodesh or Holy Spirit as we call Him. Don't find that in the dead scriptures do we?
