The Nag Hammadi Library
Among the books that had been deemed unorthodox by a council of men…from various backgrounds were the Gospel of Thomas , The Gospel of Philip, and the Book of Mary Magadalena. These were thrown into a bucket of teachings called Gnostic Christianity— When I purchased a copy of the Nag Hammadi Library years ago, I read things and never really understood a lot of it… so I deemed it interesting… but didn’t give it the place on the mantle with the Book of Enoch.
Because of my lack of understanding in the way of which this taught … and only having four gospels to learn from the words of Jesus, of which were all summaries of our Lord’s ministry of three and a half years, it occurred to me after writing the previous blog and speaking of the modern church idea of the “silent 400 years” from Malachi to the birth of our Lord… I wondered again of all the miracles and teachings the Lord did…surely there was more. There were many burnings of scrolls of his works. And many scroll burnings before and after the council of Nicea merged the followers of the way into a one world religion with a committee of men who decided what was and was not orthodox.
I recently heard a scholar lecturing on the marvels of the pineal gland describe how 9 people determined for the entire medical field of pyschiatry a host of new mental disorders, that no one man or any committee of men, especially 9, should ever have that much power. I totally agree. And my mind processed a lot of comparisons… WHO, CDC, UN, EU, and among the many other things like Pelosi and her congress, etc., I thought of the Council of Nicea….making the decisions of what was orthodox and what was not orthodox and throwing out all the books of the Bible that didn’t suit their opinions. Good grief when compared to that… it took my red flag meter from 0 to 100 fast.
Having just reread the book of Thomas and writing on it in brief, I was triggered to go back and read again. So I did and it OPENED MY EYES WIDER!
This passage from the book of Thomas popped out at me.
(21) Mary said to Jesus, “Whom are your disciples like?” He said, “They are like children who have settled in a field which is not theirs. When the owners of the field come, they will say, ‘Let us have back our field.’ They will undress in their presence in order to let them have back their field and to give it back to them.“
I recalled how they did just that at the council of Nicea in 325 AD. They made concessions and blended the Roman religion with the teachings of Jesus and allowed the theft of the word of God. They undressed and let the unorthodox steal and tear up their scrolls, and scriptures and heck… they handed the entire planting field of the Gentiles right back to them by allowing it. The Book of Enoch that was taught from by Noah, Shem, to all his sons and daughers and generations of their sons and daughters all the way to Abraham and his son Isaac and Jacob. Remember Shem outlived Abraham by 35 years. The books that contained the teachings that the prophets learned from and carried on to the days of our Lord and were still used at the time of the Council of Nicea! They litterally undressed in their presence and gave them their sacred books and the field to preach sun worship blended with a new collection of Bible books was birthed. There was no one standing up together and saying…shove your one world religion Constantine. They literally undressed and showed their nakedness. Their lack of something….??? It appears to be faith for they were bullied. One did depart and had no part of it when it went south…
And then this vital passage…..that I did not write about popped at me blaring …..
(37) His disciples said, “When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?” Jesus said, “When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the Son of the Living One, and you will not be afraid.”
Was he saying when we take the false doctrine that has become our garment since we willingly handed over the truth and let them have the field to plant their own seeds to harvest for the ruler of this world? Was he saying when we take off the old teachings that have not light and stomp on them,and put them under our feet…that that is when we shall see the truth of the Son of God? The truth that has been hidden from us and trampled on? Is it time to now take back all truth and stop following the blind leading the blind who see not with their eye(s)? Or do we continue to select from the menu of the 41,000+ versions of orthodox food that was cooked up for us to eat by those who decided in committee what shall be put on our platter? What scrolls shall we eat up that are like honey in our mouths and bitter in our bellys?
The verse, Thomas 37, is clear that the Lord was seeing into the future and knew the battles that would take place from the beginning unto the end over the truth of the Word of God to all of the Followers of The Way of Jesus. We, just like they, have allowed the thieves of the Word of God to carry away many truths. We have a stigma to not look at many books. Those who have insisted to look early on, have been called many bad names. And those today who dare to look even deeper are yet still considered blasphemers and told things like, “How dare you decide such things? That’s blasphemy! Shame on you.”
Thomas continued….
(38) Jesus said, “Many times have you desired to hear these words which I am saying to you, and you have no one else to hear them from. There will be days when you will look for me and will not find me.”
(39) Jesus said, “The Pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of Knowledge and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves.”
(40) Jesus said, “A grapevine has been planted outside of the Father, but being unsound, it will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed.”(this is an evil force)
The grapevine that has been planted outside of the Father is becoming very clear by its’ fruit. The Lord said, by being unsound it will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed. Are we beginning to see it? Are we beginning to pull at it? We cannot pull out what we cannot see. Is this what is meant by the blind leading the blind and they both shall fall into the ditch? One thing is sure…this shall be pulled up by its roots and destroyed whether we see it or not.
That being said, I truly believe the Lord that the Father sent The Holy Spirit to teach us and show us what is true and what is twisted.
Of which I first want to share the history of the title of Mary which is that of Magdalena. Which means a tower to the tribe of Benjamin. The Male Tower was called the Magdal of the Tribe and the Female Tower was given the title of the Magdalena. That is why in our New Testament every time they refer to Mary of Magdalena, they use the title. It was not a last name, nor was it because she was from a fishing village. Those are false interpretations.
In the past in writing my book, the Spear of Destiny, I did extensive research on Mary Magalena and found many hidden truths. I wanted to present the Gospel of Mary Magdalena, but was nudged that I must first present a bit of the real history before ever attempting to show the Nag Hammandi Gospel of Mary Magdalena. It is my opinion that Mary was an Elect Lady and her image and reputation has not only been hidden from us since the time of our Lord…it has all but been erased. She was such a threat to the church that the Pope in 571 AD declared her a whore. It was not until July 22, 1969 that the Pope declared Mary a Saint. Up until then, the Church had deemed Mary Magdalene a prostitute to dishonor her and deny her as well as all women their rightful place in the church.
It appears that even though the new Church had declared many books unorthodox and set out with a Latin written word to only be spoken from the church heads AKA Theologeans, that many continued to teach the teachings they knew and believed in and this was not wanted. Spiritual warfare and the gates of hell were always raising war against God and His children. We are no different today. We are at war with principalities and powers in dark places. But Mary Magdalene is slowly coming out into the light. On June 10, 2016 Pope Francis came out and announced a decree declaring that Mary Magdalena was the Apostle to the Apostles. Wonder of wonders and from now on, July 22nd is the day determined to be a memorial of Saint Mary Magdalene to a feast on the church’s liturgical calendar. Pope Francis upholds Mary Magdalene as Apostle – Magdalene Publishing
Well, I believe that’s because many have discovered the hidden truths and it just cannot be hidden much longer. Especially since for the last 2,000 years or so, the people of the South of France have celebrated the arrival of the three Maries and those are Mary Magdalena, Mary the Mother of Jesus, and her sister Mary Salome. Few people ever knew of this before the days of the internet. Many who did hear of it, brushed it off as a stupid south of France cult thing, or a silly festival. The truth is …it happened and it is true.
The following collection of data is attributed to many sources and one rich source among the many is Laurence Gardner, Kt FSA, is an internationally known sovereign genealogist, historical lecturer, and the appointed Jacobite Historiographer Royal. I apologize for not having listed all of the sources, but this work is a collection of work that has been done over the span of more than 20 years. And collected for my own personal understanding and seeking knowledge of truth. I wanted to present the Gospel of Mary Magdalena, but was nudged that I must first present a bit of the real history before ever attempting to show the Nag Hammandi Gospel of Mary Magdalena.
We begin this journey with a strange stone. And a strange inscription that appears to represent a tower. Let us dive on in…..
“And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.” (Deuteronomy 33:12)
The Pillar of The Tribe of Benjamin
Magdalene -In Hebrew, “pillar” is a “M’GD’L” or “Magdal.” The chief male pillar of the tribe of Benjamin was called the “Magdal”. The female chief pillar of the tribe was called the Magdalene. So it would be accurate to say of Mary of Magdalene, that she was indeed “Mary the Pillar (of her tribe). and the was chief heir of the tribe of Benjamin. The 12th Tribe of Israel had been singled out for a very special and exalted blessing Moses pronounced blessings on the patriarchs of each. Of Benjamin, he said, “The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him & shall cover him all the day long, he shall dwell between his shoulders.”
It was later signified by the Knights Templar as a red cross to represent – between the shoulders.
A person who was put in my path had marveled at the fact that I was so aware of the truth of Mary. He said to me,“I am please to know you knew of Mary’s status – very pleased. I once asked my Jesuit mentor, of all the records that the church hides from us by their omitting of them in their bible and refuse to openly discuss what do they see as the most dangerous for us to know. He responded with, “because we are not to know who we are”.
Now this man was a Jesuit, and it was through him that I learned that they were taught of all of the books that were hidden from us. Might I also add, this encounter was brief, but informative, for I did not know they were taught from these forbidden books. I had other ideas, and still do, I’m sure there are many more books. No wonder the Jesuit Trained Fauci thinks of all of humanity as mindless followers of mandates and feeds us mandate propaganda with such ease, along with his thus taketh the jab nonsense. These have gotten away with evil for a very, very long time. It appears they are allowed to see… just no one else. Whatever they are seeing, there actions tell me it is not the God of Jesus.
In the Gospel of Thomas, he said, “Jesus said, Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be awestruck. When they are awestruck, they will become amazed, and will reign over the All.”
Which brings us to an interesting Biblical Prophetic fulfillment!
Mary of Magdalene is a title, not a first and last name as we’ve been told. She is of the tribe of Benjamin and the Magdalene of the tribe which is in line to be Queen of the tribe. The male of the tribe is the Magdal. Moses, blessed the 12 tribes of Israel. His blessing for the tribe of Benjamin is found in Deuteronomy 33:12. “Of Benjamin he said, ‘May the beloved of the Lord dwell in security by Him, Who shields him all the day. Magdalene in Hebrew meant Tower. So Mary of Magdalene was the Tower of the Tribe of Benjamin.
What does this mean? Remember the Male Tower of the Tribe of Benjamin was called the Magdal and was the Chief in line to be King over the Tribe. The female Tower was the Chieftess of the tribe and in line to be the Queen of the Tribe of Judah. Everyone at the time of Jesus knew this. Mary was an Elect Lady, a Princess of the Tribe of Benjamin. Magdalena was her title, not her name. It has been hidden from all of us on purpose. Everyone at the time of Jesus knew this. It was also the duty of the tribe of Benjamin to keep track of the geneologies of all the tribes.
Herod was fearful of Jesus reclaiming his right to be King of Israel because he was in line to be king and Herod was a political appointment by Caesar. Mary of Magdalena was in line to be Queen and that would have made a Royal Wedding. The King of Judah and the Queen of Benjamin. This is why the Chief Priests and Pharisees kept asking Jesus if he was the King. Jesus told them my Kingdom is not of this world. This is why they accused him of calling himself a king. And why Pontious Pilot asked him are you a King. This is why they put the words “King of the Jews” on a sign over his head on the cross. They all knew his geneology and knew he was in line to be king… and they didn’t trust if he would change His mind and decide to claim it.

SO LET’S TAKE A JOURNEY ….
FAST FORWARD To Provence in AD 63
Mary Magdalene died in Provence in AD 63. (Two thousand years ago Provence was part of Roman Gaul,) In that very year, Joseph of Arimathea built the famous chapel at Glastonbury in England as a memorial to the Messianic Queen.
This was the first ‘above-ground’ Christian church in the world, and in the following year Mary’s son Jesus Justus dedicated it to his mother. Jesus the Younger had in fact been to England with Joseph before, at the age of twelve, in AD 49.
In the middle ages Glastonbury Abbey was one of England’s most ancient and respected religious houses and Joseph was widely accepted to be its founder. First among Christian nations: Glastonbury, Joseph of Arimathea and the council of Konstanz | richardhaymanblog (wordpress.com)
It was this event which inspired William Blake’s famous song, Jerusalem: “And did those feet in ancient time, walk upon England’s mountains green.” But who was Joseph of Arimathea, the man who assumed full control of affairs at the Crucifixion? And why was it that Jesus’ mother, his wife and the rest of the family accepted Joseph’s intervention without question?
IN 900 AD, THE CHURCH OF ROME DECLARED JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA WAS THE UNCLE OF JESUS…. ANOTHER LIE.
As late as the year 900, the Church of Rome decided to announce that Joseph of Arimathea was the uncle of Jesus’ mother Mary. And from that time, portrayals of Joseph have shown him as being rather elderly at the Crucifixion, when Mother Mary was herself in her fifties. Prior to the Roman announcement, however, the historical records of Joseph depicted a much younger man. He was recorded to have died at the age of 80 on 27 July AD 82, and thus would have been aged 32 at the time of the Crucifixion. In fact, Joseph of Arimathea was none other than Jesus Christ’s own brother, James, and his title had nothing whatever to with a place name. Arimathea never existed.
It therefore comes as no surprise that Joseph negotiated with Pilate to place Jesus in his own family tomb. The hereditary “Arimathea” title was an English corruption of the Graeco-Hebrew style ha-Rama-Theo, meaning “of the Divine Highness”, or “of the Royal Highness” as we’d define it today. And quite fitting also for being one of Righteousness.
Which make the verse in Thomas much more meaningful. Where the disciples ask the Lord who they should follow:
(12) The disciples said to Jesus, “We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?” Jesus said to them, “Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth come into being.”
Since Jesus was the senior Messianic heir-the Christ, Khristos or King-then his younger brother was the Crown Prince-the Royal Highness, Rama-Theo. In the Nazarene hierarchy, the Crown Prince always held the patriarchal title of “Joseph”-just as Jesus was a titular “David” and his wife was a “Mary”. In the early fifth century, Jesus and Mary’s descendent Fisher Kings became united by marriage to the Sicambrian Franks, and from them emerged a whole new ‘reigning’ dynasty. They were the noted-
Merovingian Kings who founded the French monarchy and introduced the well-known fleur-de-lys (the ancient Jewish symbol of circumcision) as the royal emblem of France. From the Merovingian succession, another strain of the family established a wholly independent Jewish kingdom in southern France: the Kingdom of Septi-mania, which we now know as the Languedoc. And the early princes of Toulouse, Aquitaine and Provence were all descended in the Messianic bloodline of the Holy Grail. Septimania was granted to the Royal House of David in 768, and Prince Bernard of Septimania later married a daughter of Emperor Charlemagne.
Also from the Fisher Kings came another important parallel line of succession in Gaul. Whereas the Merovingian Kings continued the patrimonial ‘male’ heritage of Jesus, this other line perpetuated the matriarchal heritage of Mary Magdalene in a ‘female’ line. They were the dynastic Queens of Avallon in Burgundy, the House del Acqsmeaning “of the waters”, a style granted to Mary Magdalene in the early days when she voyaged on the sea to Provence. Those familiar with Arthurian and Grail lore will by now have recognized the ultimate significance of this Messianic family of the Fisher Kings, the Queens of Avallon and the House del Acqs (corrupted in Arthurian romance to “du Lac”).
The descendant heirs of Jesus posed an enormous threat to the Roman High Church because they were the dynastic leaders of the true Nazarene Church. In real terms, the Roman Church should never have existed at all, for it was no more than a ‘hybrid’ movement comprised of various pagan doctrines attached to a fundamentally Jewish base.
Jesus was born in 7 BC and his birthday was on the equivalent of 1 March, with an ‘official’ royal birthday on 15 September to comply with dynastic regulation. But, when establishing the Roman High Church in the fourth century, Emperor Constantine ignored both of these dates and supplemented 25 December as the new Christ’s Mass Day-to coincide with the pagan Sun Festival.
Later, at the Synod of Whitby in 664, the bishops expropriated the Celtic festival of Easter (Eostre), the Goddess of Spring and Fertility, and attached a wholly new Christian significance. In so doing, they changed the date of the Celtic festival to sever its traditional association with the Jewish Passover.
Which brings us to the arrest of Peter when Herod began to vex the followers of the way and cast him into prison. No one following the way of Jesus celebrated Easter it was a pagan celebration. Which this verse when read in its full context shows both Easter and the passover were celebrated at the same time.
Acts 12:4 KJV: “And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.”
Christianity, as we know it, has evolved as a ‘composite religion’ quite unlike any other. If Jesus was its living catalyst, then Christianity should rightly be based on the teachings of Jesus himself-the moral and social codes of a fair-minded, tolerant ministry, with the people as its benefactors. However, it has been under constant attack by the world and the ruler of it.
It unfolds more and more how orthodox Christianity was not based on the teachings of Jesus: but instead based on the teachings of the Roman Church, which are entirely different. There are a number of reasons for this, the foremost of which is that Jesus was deliberately sidestepped in favour of the alternative teachings of Peter and Paul-teachings which were thoroughly denounced by the Nazarene Church of Jesus and his brother James.
Constantine declared that “he alone” was the true “Saviour Messiah”, not Jesus!
Only by removing Jesus from the frontline could the Popes and cardinals reign supreme. When formally instituting Christianity as the state religion of Rome, Constantine declared that “he alone” was the true “Saviour Messiah”, not Jesus! As for the Bishops of Rome (the Popes), they were granted an apostolic descent from St Peter-not a legitimate Desposynic descent from Jesus and his brothers, as was retained within the Nazarene Church.
WHY THEY HAD TO GET RID OF MARY AND THE BLOODLINE OF JESUS
The only way for the Roman High Church to restrain the heirs of Mary Magdalene was to discredit Mary herself and to deny her bridal relationship with Jesus. But what of Jesus’ brother James? He, too, had heirs, as did their other brothers, Simon, Joses and Jude. The Church could not escape the Gospels which state that Jesus was Mary’s “first-born son”, and so Mary’s own motherhood also had to be repressed. As a result, the Church portrayed her as Mother Mary a virgin,(i.e. not having any other children and blessed stories of her returning to heaven a virgin) and Mary Magdalene as a whore-neither of which any remote description was mentioned in any original Gospel or in any book of the Bible. Then later they went further to make sure this stuck so they said Mother Mary’s own mother, Anna, also gave birth to her daughter Mary by way of “Immaculate Conception”! So much for Mary’s siblings.
The original women of the Nazarene mission – Mary Magdalene, Martha, Mary Jacob-Cleophas and Helena-Salome
Over the course of time, these contrived doctrines have had widespread effect. But, in the early days, it took rather more to cement the ideas because the original women of the Nazarene mission had a significant following in the Celtic Church-women such as Mary Magdalene, Martha, Mary Jacob-Cleophas and Helena-Salome who had run schools and social missions throughout the Mediterranean world.
So, Fear Not –
THE CHURCH DECLARES ALL WOMEN HERETICS AND SORCERESSES!
These women had all been disciples of Jesus, and close friends of his mother, Mary, accompanying her to the Crucifixion, as confirmed in the Gospels. The Church’s only salvation was to deny women altogether; to deny them not only rights to ecclesiastical office, but to deny them rights to any status in society. Hence, the Church declared that women were all heretics and sorceresses!
In this, the bishops used the words of Peter and Paul, and on the basis of their teachings the Roman High Church was enabled to become wholly sexist. In his Epistle to Timothy, Paul wrote: “I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp any authority over the man, but to be in silence.” In the Gospel of Philip, Peter is even quoted as saying that “Women are not worthy of life”. The bishops even quoted the words of Genesis, wherein God spoke to Eve about Adam, saying “He shall rule over thee”. (These were indeed taken out of context. And the translators added to the problem when they took the New Testament from Aramaic into Greek, into Latin… at this point it was not yet in Shakespheare.) This is the same tricks being played today with the Darby Jesuit Dispensations. How’s your garments? Remember Jude said, 13 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
This all makes one wonder who said what… stick with what Jesus said!!! Not man. This is all designed to create confusion and God is not the author of confusion. We are the generation that is coming to the knowledge of the truth. And at times we will be troubled…but we will be victorious for the truth shall indeed set us free!
The Church Father Tertullian, c. 155 AD – c. 220 AD, definitely showed his dark side when he summed up the whole Roman attitude by writing about the female disciples of Mary Magdalene: “These heretical woman! How dare they! They are brazen enough to teach, to engage in argument, to baptize… It is not permitted for a woman to speak in church…nor to claim…a share in any masculine function-least of all in priestly office.” Then, to cap it all, came the Roman Church’s most amazing document, The Apostolic Order. This was compiled as an ‘imaginary’ conversation between the apostles after the Last Supper. Contrary to the Gospels, it supposed that Mary Magdalene had been present at the Supper, and it was agreed that the reason why Jesus had not passed any wine to Mary at the table was because he had seen her laughing! On the basis of this extraordinary, fictitious document, the bishops ruled that, even though Mary might have been a companion of Jesus, women were not to be afforded any place within the Church because they were not serious!
Which now make the words of Thomas more understandable when Jesus said:
“(22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, “These infants being suckled are like those who enter the Kingdom.” They said to him, “Shall we then, as children, enter the Kingdom?” Jesus said to them, “When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the Kingdom.”
I now see the Lord’s real intention in saying that those who see the truth are chosen and blessed to have eyes to do so. And indeed these words are those of equality among all, both male and female to preach the word of God and equal in all things of God. Blessed are those who have eyes that see and ears that hear and a mouth that dares stand up against the lies that have been told by darkness? I see a people now that are finding truth and shedding the garments of lies?
Mary Magdalene had to be discredited and removed from the reckoning so that her heirs could be ignored.
This sexist attitude has persisted within the Church to the present day. Why? Because Mary Magdalene had to be discredited and removed from the reckoning so that her heirs could be ignored. But things are now changing, and, in the Anglican Church at least, women are being restored to the priestly station. Notwithstanding the avid sexist movement, the Messianic heirs retained their social positions outside the Roman Church establishment. They progressed their own Nazarene and Celtic Church movements and founded Desposynic kingdoms in Britain and Europe. They were a constant threat to the Roman High Church and to the figurehead monarchs and governments empowered by that Church. They were the very reason for the implementation of the brutal Inquisition because they upheld a moral and social code which was contrary to High Church requirement.
Again…this is a lot to digest…a lot to ponder. We will take a deep breath here… and discern…and cease not in seeking. For as Thomas wrote, Jesus said to cease not in seeking – and we shall find and be troubled….and wonder?
Thomas: (2) Jesus said, “Let him who seeks cease not to seek until he finds: when he finds he will be troubled; and when he is troubled he will wonder, and will rule over the all! Thomas O. Lambdin Translation.
There is much more to share, from the Holy Grail to Mary Magdalene’s arrival in France with the other Mary’s, Mary the mother of Jesus, and her sister, Mary Salome. And all of the great things Mary Magdalena did in France. But, this is all so much to comprehend all at once so we shall end here. Remember, those who see, shall see and those who have not eyes to see shall not see for it is written.
Keep on Pressing Into The Kingdom of God. Press, press, press!

God’s word is truth. Study to shew thyself approved unto God. Discernment will be a lifelong study, through His word. Holy Spirit guides us unto all truth. He is omnipresent. Thank you Diane for your pit bull attitude for truth. Trump 2024
Dianne, Thank you for your research and writing…even though I appreciate this info, I am “concerned” what have I followed, what doctrine have I read and believed in and handed down to my children and grandchildren to realize I’ve been “lied” to. I’m taking a deep breath and ready for the rest of your teachings. The TRUTH must prevail! GOD bless you and may the Holy Spirit continue to guide you.
Please don’t hear the message wrong, I am not saying the Word of God is not in the King James…not at all. That good version showed me the truth, the way and the light….by reading with the Holy Spirit. When I read on my own, without the Holy Spirit guiding me, regardless of what translation it is…it was always hard to understand…many things were missed as I read the book without seeing the many things within a verse. So do not think I am saying there is only one book…the Word is living…and the Holy Spirit is the key to the truth…in all you see, do…think, feel and choose. There is only one way through Jesus (Yeshua), the Lord is standing at the door knocking and you can let the Lord in. He guides you from there…the Father sends you the Holy Spirit and guides, teaches and comforts you the way for you to go. As we grow…we learn more. So much has been hidden from us. We are finding the truths that we never knew and there are so many our mind could not process it all if we were even told it. We learn in part and having the Lord is the most important thing…it all begins there. The meat of the word is what Paul called it. We have been on milk….Paul said at what point do you wean them off the milk and give them the meat? We grow in the truth…Amen.
“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:”
The Council of Nicea
Constantine was faced with a very difficult problem when he became emperor of the Roman Empire in 313 A.D., for he mane himself the head of the church, and thus the problems of the church became his responsibilities. As a whole the Western Empire with its Roman influence, with some exceptions, had accepted Tertullian and his new theory of the Trinity in the early part of the previous century, but in the East the church adhered more closely to the older formula of baptism in the name of Jesus, or Jesus the Christ. Especially was this true with the Armenians, who specified that baptism “into the death of Christ” was that which alone was essential (ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, 11th Edition, Volume 3, page 366). Not until the latter part of the fourth century were the Eastern Churches brought into better harmony with the Roman idea of the Godhead and Trinitarian formula. As late as 867, however, Pope Nicholas still recognized baptism in the name of Christ as valid.
The contentions were great, and the church leaders became more intolerant, as persecutions from idol worshippers ceased after Constantine made his edict that the church should no longer be persecuted. Constantine’s political leaders became church leaders who had no sympathy with those who differed with them in doctrine; therefore, the very foundations of the Roman Empire seemed to be weakened by the division in the church.
IIurlbut’s STORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, page 86, states that “The first controversy arose over the Doctrine of the Trinity, especially the relation of the Father and the Son.” Constantine, accordingly called for a special council at Nicea, 325 A.D., for the purpose of formulating rules for his new church order and to decide on the formula the church would use.
We quote from Munsen ANTICHRIST IN HISTORY, page 7: “After Constantine had issued his decree from Milan (313 A.D.), making the Christian religion the standard religion of the Roman Empire, he called the first Aecumenical, or General Council of the Church, at Nicea, a town in Asia Minor, (325 A.D.). The Council was called for the purpose of harmonizing the different sects that existed among the Christians and to make rules and regulations for the government of the churches throughout the Empire, and to decide the formula and practice of the Christian faith adopted by Constantine, which is named the Nicene Creed.
“The two most prominent representatives at this Council were Arius, a presbyter from Alexandria, and Athanasius, a deacon, also from Alexandria, each representing a different view of Christianity. The arguments at this Council must have been very heated at times, because as H. G. Wells tells us, Arius and Athanasius engaged in a fist fight before the Emperor. However, the doctrine of the Holy Trinity as taught by Athanasius was adopted, Arianism was denounced.”
After the newly organized Roman Catholic Church was thus set in order with a decision by its new head Constantine, the Roman Emperor, that the Trinity and the Trinitarian formula only should be used, all who disagreed with this policy were branded as heretics, and many of their leaders were banished, suffering cruel punishments.
” We thus see how the church fell from its first love and purity, deeper into darkness and away from the true light of God’s Word and the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
We invite the reader to compare this first council of the Roman Catholic Church with that of the first apostolic church, which, with Paul and apostles (Acts 15), was making a tremendous decision at Jerusalem. In the latter the discussion grew intense; but brotherly love was preserved, God had His way, and they were in one accord; the Holy Ghost made the decision. In this First Roman Catholic Council at Nicea, (325 A.D.), less that three hundred years later, another mighty and important decision was to be made; but it was made without God, without love, and without unity of spirit. How unfortunate it was that this church meeting was disgraced by a fist fight, and that the decision was made by an ungodly emperor who had made only a profession of Christianity and that for political gain, without having been baptized. We are made to wonder why people would hold to a doctrine which came from such a source.
The Nicene Creed, afterwards called the Apostolic Creed, was formulated at this council for the purpose of instilling the doctrine of the three separate personalities in the Godhead as set forth by the eloquent Athanasius at the time of this council.
The writer wishes to suggest here that argument and debate always kill the spirit of love and fellowship, and yet such have existed in some measure over the doctrine of the Trinity since the latter part of the second century. As the church went deeper into darkness the dissension resulted in hatred and bloodshed.
And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:13&14)
Esther is a good wake up call to all the followers of the way today. “Do not think in your heart you will escape in the World’s government by being silent or following mandates any more than anyone else when they come to attack all the deplorables. If you remain silent God will find another, but you will have missed your chance to stand.” sort of thing. We each must choose who we shall follow. Great history lesson… the Holy Ghost is the great Wisdom to heed.
Also…I meant to add to the comments on the Nicea and Constatine ….where it says: As the church went deeper into darkness the dissension resulted in hatred and bloodshed. The entire formation was a matter of deception and the mandates Constantine enacted are proof that it was always based as a totalitarian weapon to keep the masses in line with the dictates of Romes Emperor and he made himself a god on earth, the same as in the manner of Nimrod who made himself the same and placed the title of Pharaoh over the one who would rule Egypt in his absence as god over it. It is obvious Constantine was using the Sun worship of Egypt and its philosophies.
Hey Dianne,
This is one of your most brilliant pieces!
The Council of Nicea was a “ramrod” session presided over by Emperor Constantine, not to enhance the position of the Christian Church. It was a pagan symposium that forced the “dogma” of the trinity on the bishops of the Western and Eastern churches. Constantine used his power and the threat of physical harm and even death to the bishops who did not toe the “party line.”
“Constantine ruled Christian bishops as he did his civil servants and commanded unconditional obedience to official pronouncements, even when they interfered with purely church matters. There were also the masses who streamed into the officially favored church. Before Constantine’s conversion, the church consisted of convinced believers who were willing to bear the risk of being identified as Christians. Now, many came who were politically ambitious, religiously disinterested, and still half-rooted in paganism. This threatened to produce not only shallowness and permeation by pagan superstitions but also the secularization and misuse of religion for political purposes” (Bruce L. Shelly. Church History in Plain Language Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Academic, 2013) 102.
It is beyond reason to find a way to reconcile the fact that a pagan emperor–a sun worshiper–was able to push his agenda on the church to present a “portrait” of a unified empire. And Constantine was not a Christian emperor. He worshiped the sun until he “converted” to Christianity on his deathbed to “cover the bases” with the one true God. Constantine spouted heresy and blasphemy as quickly as he mandated the dogma of the trinity. He claimed to be the 13th apostle AND the savior of the world–not Jesus Christ!
Thank you for a brilliant post!
In Jesus’ Name…
I heard someone on a video speak of fruits …that you shall know them by their fruits does not mean how many people attend your mega church…it means what are their lives dedicated to and what is the fruit of their spirits. I had not heard it presented the way he did before and in light of what we had been discussing, it hit home that it is the fruit of the spirit. Not how many people are numbered in your church army. Especially if the pastors words are not teaching the way of the Lord and allowing the way of the world to dictate what will and will not be taught in the church and how the affairs are done in the church to keep their non profit status. I’m just sound byting on how he presented it, his was good.
Dianne, such a tremendous work, and I am still going back through it, along with previous articles, and with my new copies of the writings of Thomas, Enoch and others, as you have suggested.
Thank you for this focus on Mary Magdalene — the first person to speak with Jesus immediately after His resurrection, and the first to spread the Good News to His disciples —
John832
Hi Dianne, I was wondering what your thoughts were on the Essenes.. Nazarene Way. I have read several articles about Paul basically not being who he said he was. They also speak of diet and say we should not eat meat, poultry, eggs, or dairy products. We should be vegetarians.
I enjoy reading all your writings. There is so much to learn, and I feel like I have little time left to fully understand. The deception runs so deep. Reading different views and opinions makes my head spin..lol.
Have you ever studied Josephus? I bought that book and it’s almost 900 pages! I can see why you don’t get much sleep. I would have to be awake for weeks just to finish that book.
Anything I read is not always fully understood the first time around. So I know we have to read some things more than once or twice.
In order to understand the Essenes and he Nazarene Way…you have to know he true history of the times. The Essenes kept the faith of God and they held to a strictness of diet and actions. They withdrew from the outside world to stay in oneness with God…like monks of the day. They dedicated their lives to God and preserving his truths…the world was in turmoil. I don’t know all the exact history of the Essenes, but I do know they grew out of rejecting the dictates of those who took over the Temple and Jerusalem. We are not told of the 490 years of the destruction of Jerusalem during the Maccabean wars and the toppling of the temple…and the blasmphemy that occurred. The essences Kept the word of God in its true books for Jerusalem was without any direction. It had been conquered. They fled to the mountains and withdrew from the chaos.
All foods are blessed for us to eat when we thank God for them and it is not sacrificed to idols. Many scholars turn Daniel into a vegetarian because he ate pulsed and grains. Yet the omit the fact that all the animal sacrifices of the best calves were also given to the people as meat….there were portions of the sacrifice that went to the Lord God that were given instructions how to season it and burned on the alter as a sweet fragrance and odor to the Lord God. When Saul was annointed as King…the sacrifice was made and the choice parts of the calf were given to him to eat. We are not to drink the blood or eat the flesh of any human nor the blood of any animal. We can eat the meat of an animal…we must cook out the blood. 2 Timothy warns us of those in the last days who refuse the eating of meats. He said these are the doctrines of devils and seducing spirits. If one wants to eat grains and pulses that is a personal decision and not to be held as a sacrilidge against those who eat meat, eggs etc. Those are doctrines of men. Not of God. We are not to eat anything that crawls meaning bugs…yet John was to have a diet of locust and honey. Was that literal or what that indictive of a special diet?
We are now learning that many interpretations of scripture have been lost in translations and this happened with the church age. When we handed over our minds to the church to tell us what to think, feel and choose. We handed over our free will to men led by darkness. Jesus came when darkness filled the earth and men had lost their way and knew not how to come to the light of God. The Temple was filled with corruption, and man made doctrine of men…Jesus came to show people the way. His disciples were called the followers of the way because he was showing them all the ways of God and of coming to the Light of God. In our eyes and eye as one with God. That knowledge had been hidden from them…and at that time there was no gift poured out of the Holy Spirit. It was given to those God chose. It descended on Jesus as a dove. When he returned to the Father the Father sent it to the disciples in the upper room and they received it and we became the Temple of God and the Holy of Holies now resided within us. The temple was a shadow of things to come…and it had come to us through Jesus. He is the light of the world.
When we take away the Shakespheare translations and read the Aramaic…we see the language is more like the language of Thomas and words take on an entirely different meaning in many cases. The books of the Prophets written in Hebrew have remained solid…but the New Testament of the way…has been translated watered down…and add to that misinterpretations and we see then why we are told to read the scriptures for ourselves and let no man interprete for us. To let the Holy Spirit discern for us and not man.
The Lord speaks to us through the Word. Seek and we shall find. Read the book of Hebrews and see where the Lord took all the manmade burdens off of us. Amen.
Thanks for your reply. I really don’t believe that God would have made His Word so confusing for us. It’s man that created all the confusion.
Some believe all of the Covenants are still relevant today and only amended. They believe God would not change his laws. This confuses me too. They believe sacrifices were done away with, but that we all should be celebrating Passover as it was in the Bible. Others say no, that was for Jews only. I do know we shouldn’t be celebrating Easter or Christmas because it’s tied to pagans.
On the Essenes website they did have the Gospel of Thomas, it was only a portion of Jesus’s sayings though.
I read something on another website that said we shouldn’t be involved in politics. It wasn’t Jehovahs Witnesses. It sort of made sense because when we vote we are actually voting in a Satanic system like we support it. We shouldn’t donate to any campaigns or politicians.
The last church I attended I was told tithing can be done outside the church like helping others. I moved and never searched for another church. I preferred studying the Bible. Reading takes a lot of time since there is so much to research. Many churches do teach the Rapture which I believe is not truth.
Another website I read said the Great Tribulation already occurred at the time of the Temples destruction. Quite a few believe all prophecies have been fulfilled up to the last couple of chapters of Revelation. Some say Matthew 24 applies for now, but others say it doesn’t. I forgot the exact verse but Jesus said “this generation” in it. Now if a generation lasts this many years or why would Jesus tell the disciples of things that wouldn’t occur in their lifetime. Just like the word imminent. That usually means soon not centuries away. But then I have had people say God’s time is not the same as ours. A thousand years can be 1 day.
I wish I would have dug deeper when I was younger and possibly had mores years to study.
I would like to get it straight before I die..lol.
I am a traditional Catholic and we don’t celebrate Christmas. We celebrate Advent and look forward to the birth of Jesus Christ on the (wrong) date that Jesus was born Dec.25th. We don’t celebrate Easter the way the world does. We go through the 40 days of Lent up until the day of Resurrection when Jesus Christ rises from the dead to be with us forever. We celebrate the Resurrection (Easter) for 40 days and look forward to Pentecost Sunday which is when the Holy Spirit comes among us.
Unfortunately or maybe fortunately we work with the dates we Christians were given by the false teachers down the ages.
The beauty of all this is that somehow God makes it work out for all of us who truly love Him and want to know the truth.
Thank God for the great awakening and for a person like Dianne who is able to explain many things to us.
The last generation in the last age…we are in the last age. This age is the age of Pisces…we are entering the age of Aquarius. At the time of the prophets before Jesus was the age of the Ram and sacrifices. Prior to that age it was the age of the Bull and the watchers and fallen angels corrupted man and had them worship them instead of God and they had mated with earthly women and had great giants….wheather they did a mingling of seeds or literal…I believe it was the genetics they mingled with…as they did the same with animals. The same things man has not understood and confused by demonic influences from the ruler of this world. Archon is another name for ruler. Because we do not know these words and their applications we fall for lies. This world is a flesh world and not who we truly are…we are as the transfiguration on the mt. That was the body of Adam and Eve before they were turned into flesh and ousted from the garden. We have not been taught these things. That all have been written and taught at the time of Jesus and before him of the Garden and Adam. Enoch etc.
And that is how it was told by Enoch and the stars and their constellations. Of which those who also kept track of the moons and days and seasons and years kept the proper Jubilee years and track of time. It is not new age unless you use it for that. Anymore than any of God’s things are perverted or used properly.
From what I have read concerning bugs and why John ate locusts is due to the fact that locusts (and crickets) have jointed legs and jump. God instructed not to eat the bugs which crawls on the ground.
You had me from….. “gnostic christianity” ………. great teaching, Diane. We know in our hearts (and in our minds / pineal??) that what we have been fed as the truth was just not right. My quest started with wondering about the Essenes. It has been a 40 year slog. Now, the 40,000 foot high view confirms my sense that there was so much more and we were being deceived. It is all so exciting. Your confirmations are so valuable to me. TY, TY, TY!
The Essences removed themselves from the politics and corruption of the Temple. The Jews history was Babylon exile and then rebuild the temple which ended up in confusion of people separating familes…and ended in being taken over by Secluids and Antiochias and over 400 years of war and chaos and no city, and Zeus in the Temple then no Temple and then Alexander conquers them, then Rome…then political King appointment of Herod…it was a raving mess and disaster…like living in Biden’s show only for 483 years until Messiah the Prince was born. And then wiped out after Jerusalem was destroyed again…It was followed by more great tribulation and has not ceased…only the methods have been changed. With seasons of breathing…
Our hidden history is so vast. Imagine what a production it must have been to erase so much! Knowledge is power and will guide us to the Truth. Thank you for teaching us, Dianne. These lessons are vital to our spiritual health and essential for us to be able to pass through the coming trials. These are studies to prepare for the ‘big test, so to speak. I am looking forward to watching the videos today to learn more about Mary and our hidden history. When I think of Mary and Jesus… it makes my heart swell to imagine their love story. Now THAT’S a story I’d like to know! There is so much about the life of Jesus that isn’t told. It’s all been hidden for a reason. I wonder about all the little things. Like, did His feet hurt? What was His favorite food? And, I bet he was funny! Imagine the witty jokes He must have told because He knows ALL the things!
I have started your book, Spear of Destiny. I am going to go read it now to learn more about my favorite Mary.
Here it is 5 am. I have been writing all night…there is so much to tell…and so many directions to tell it in. I am going where the Holy Spirit leads me with this…but I have one that will be coming…I want to send it in two parts…but I know it all has to be one…then the next one. I find this process interesting for the way the information is being selected to go out in an order is one I would not have ever figured out on my own. I am seeing there are things that have to be known fast in order to hear and see the simple thing. Because we have been lied to and things have been hidden. I’m going to get a few hours sleep then finish. I am actually seeing things connect as I review old notes and archives and other things I wrote long ago. Lots of oil for the lamps of everyone…fill up here!!! It’s free. Smile.
I made an edit to the article above. It registered…of Jude and the garments…….
“In the Gospel of Philip, Peter is even quoted as saying that “Women are not worthy of life”. The bishops even quoted the words of Genesis, wherein God spoke to Eve about Adam, saying “He shall rule over thee”. (These were indeed taken out of context. And the translators added to the problem when they took the New Testament from Aramaic into Greek, into Latin… at this point it was not yet in Shakespheare.) This is the same tricks being played today with the Darby Jesuit Dispensations. How’s your garments? Remember Jude said, 13 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
unfortunately the victors “write” the history…
Heck, we are watching fake news and Pelosi rewrite it in front of our faces. They have rewritten a future and following the road plans.
Awesome as always
