What are the Essene gospels of peace trying to teach us? Few know! While most modern Christian theologians and scholars dismiss the texts as fake or worse - as conjured satanic teachings - it appears those who uncovered their hidden resting place and later translated them, were missing some vital knowledge. Far more detail lyes hidden within the culture of a people than within the language on their parchment. This is a precept that virtually everyone outside of our Hebrew culture, along with those rebellious cousins within the halls of Babylonian Judaism have either never knew, or purposely redirected. If you never knew that a Law existed, then how would it benefit you to read the instructional texts from a people whose culture only lives on in so few? With the majority of those few totally unwilling to share its vital details because they have long sought another god and another law! How would you identify that another, more ancient and original law from the Eternal Creator existed within any specific text when those who choose evil over good actively obscured the cultural knowledge proving that law extant, only later to abscond with the entirety of those texts for thousands of years? There must be a reason they hid them! Now we can better understand how modern translators who were reared in other religions far and away culturally from the original ancient Hebrew culture and language, while also heavily influenced by their personal religion & culture, missed the mark in so many areas as to render that work confusing at best. And at worst, impotent. First and foremost, I will tell you with great authority on the subject that the Essene sects spiritual path, which was NOT a religion, was based solely on what should be known as the 1st law, which is the law that they knew and kept. That law was NOT the law of the Judeans. It was, however, the Law that Jesus taught, but also the law that has never been taught inside the body of Christianity. Nor has anyone inside of Christianity or Judaism identified the 1st Law from these "Essene Gospel of Peace" texts as being the most important and holy precept for all the souls of man in over 2000 years! Even the title name has been misleading because it does not steer the reader past the texts being more than an apocryphal curiosity that is generally dismissed as near heresy by their religious leaders. Beyond doubt the Law of the Essene's and their texts, once rendered correctly and clearly understandable, are nothing less than the Torah - (Instruction) manual for all those who have already found their return vector back to the Eternal Creator via His 1st Law of the Everlasting Agreement; as well as for those truly searching past the decay of corporatized religions and on their way back to this path.
