I believe these teaching come from an advanced being or beings that sought to aid us after being left in disarray. They pulled up their hoods, stepped forth into the world and began to teach. Jesus the Sun God i believe to be no more than the sun, and the 12 deciples the 12 signs of the Zodiac (that we are aware of). Astrotheology. Faith is not a word i would ever use. You believe this "he" is wise, and therefor you submit to him entirely. Not understanding at all. Then you missed the point.

If they say: Look, It is in the sea, Then the fish already know it. The Kingdom is inside you, And it is outside you. When you know yourself, then you will be known, And you will know that you are the child of the Living Father; But it you do not know yourself, You will live in VAIN And you will be VANITY. NOT POVERTY. This speaks of the Ego and true states of being, do not reduce it to nonsense. If those who guide you say: Look,

And possibly having a deeper meaning and teaching that wasn't public. But to me the history isn't too important, its what they are trying to teach, and its much deeper than most would think. =) the real Jesus’ date isnt known, its posible he was real, its said in other gospels that Jesus made his life a teaching, so its possible he choose 12 diciples to serve as a parable, in his life teaching, in a way you could see him living his life and making his life the teaching through his actions.

Grace.".... Given that almost everything in this so-called gospel contradicts what is in the Bible, and given that a belief system that contradicts itself is by definition false, then what you have said is that the Christian God doesn't exist. So who exactly is blessing you or giving grace?? “We are blessed. Grace.”….

Don't fast just because your religion requires you to, but because you mean it.. Don't give to charity if you really don't mean it for it is worse than not doing anything. Same with repentance.. It is not enough to pray 800 prayers if don't really feel sorry for what you did. That is worse than not repenting at all.. at least you were truthful to yourself.

He said Jesus told him these 3 things of greatness. 1 If you fast -- You will bring sin on yourself ! 2 if you pray -- you will be condemnd ! 3 If you give to charity -- you will harm ! yourself ! If I told you these words of Greatness what would you tell me ? Before you speak No I'm not going there ! I can believe my ears, but Jesus told him these great sayings !

As does speaking before thinking. Secondly, prayer is simply a way to legitimize apathy. If you are always allowed to beg for forgiveness, even as a rapist in prison, then why bother living a decent life? If you can pray for protection, why learn to defend yourself? Also.. Giving to Charity does not make one charitable. You are simply giving money to an organization who will squander the majority of it rather than physically acting.
