all do the laws of Moses, our lawgiver, even as they are written in the holy scriptures.”

My research, regarding Jesus, indicates that he was not crucified that his message was one of resurrection and not the crucifixion nor vicarious atonement (as the church emphasizes). As a number of scholars have noted, the Council of Nicea, expurgated a number of biblical texts relating to Jesus, such as the Gospel of Thomas that emphasized human’s demonstrable spiritual power being equal or greater than Jesus.’ It seems that the literature, regarding Jesus, that is empowering to humans tends to be banned by the Council of Nicea. Hence, I assume this is one area of manipulation by the misguided ones in order to control us.
There are records of Jesus living in India longer than he lived in the holy land and even streets named after him there and a shrine where he is allegedly buried. One of my favorite quotes is from the Gospel of Peace:
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 th e 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.
