From “The Essene Humane Gospel of Christ”: The Law of Humane Love, Part 1 of 2

The Essenes were an ancient spiritual group with origins in Judaism. The Essenes practiced meditation, were vegetarians, and lived a strictly pure lifestyle. Lord Jesus Christ, also known as Lord Yeshua, was born into the Essene Brotherhood, and the Essenes wrote detailed accounts about the Beloved Master’s life and teachings. One of these texts whose fragments have fortunately been preserved is called, The Essene Humane Gospel of Christ. Today, we are pleased to present selections from The Essene Humane Gospel of Christ, where Lord Jesus provides insight on how we should have reverence for all life including those of the animal-people and according to God’s Law we should not harm nor eat them.

“And Jesus began to preach and to say unto many, ‘Repent: for the Kingdom of Heaven is near and even in your midst.’ And as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon, called Peter and Andrew, his brother. And He said unto them, ‘Come, now, follow me, and I will make ye fishers of men; leave ye off from disturbance of God’s creatures and learn ye to give life, not taking life from any living thing under the Sun.’”

“The Holy Ones were named Essene by outsiders, meaning, the Holy Saints of God, they who take not a life of any creature, but known by their keeping the law of Humane Love amongst themselves.”

“For the fame of Jesus’ works and sayings were widely known, and many did tell their neighbors and their neighbors’ neighbors, so that the whole of the territory knew of Jesus and His God-sent mission. And the disciples of Jesus listened attentively to every word, and were astonished by His great wisdom and ability to know all things.”

“And the days passed quickly into weeks and months, but many were the righteous works and sayings of Jesus. And His disciples followed Him everywhere, in and out of small villages and towns. Wherever a large crowd was gathered around, Jesus was in their midst, teaching the Holy Way of life, better known among the people as the followers of the Essene way.”
