Ann here is the experience I had as it was explained by Paul. The comments in brackets do not belong in the scripture. The reason it uses the Christ Jesus is the translators understanding was limited to his own understanding inserted Jesus as being the Christ.
It doesn't take a genious or theologian or an anti-Christ to understand what it originally stated before the Romans altered Pauls words to fit in with the false religion they had promoted. Consider this: The first 4 "gospels" were the works of the Romans who promoted the Petrine teaching of a supernatural God, with the ability to perform supernatural acts. Paul, on the other hand taught the mystical awakening he had experienced.
You have seen demonstrated here, the lack of perfection in Sam, and you have also seen this same lack in the promotors of the Messiah believers. Paul describes the same duality that I am aware of thru a revelation. Their spin is to promote their theology over the Pauline doctrine and go back to the Pagan Mithra - Hebrew belief in what would deliver them from the evils they experienced. This was very clearly presented in "Ur Marcus" the first book they forced on the peoples belief. The Jews would not buy it as it contained bits of truth of their belief, with the concocted way they came up with. The Ur Marcus was so inane the Jews wouldn't buy it so Paul's teaching was becoming the revelation believed over the false religion. It was so powerful a message that they could not overcome it. Then after the death of Paul and believers of Paul; the Romans edited Ur Marcus and named it Matthew. Then they added the other three Gospels.
In order to win over the Pauline faithful they made His teaching to agree with what they created. By burning all original writings and making subtle changes here and there made it the rest of the bible.
If you want to know how the canon was decided historians will tell you the Romans decided the holy literature and what writings were inspired at the government 'Nicene Council."
I left the inserted Jesus where it was attached to Christ, in order for you to see how easy it is to create semantical difference.
As I said it doesn't take a genious to see the God Paul proclaims was not in evidence in the rest of the bible.
I Corinthians, Chapter 13
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ [the Spirit of Love-Wisdom], if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit; . . . fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other
better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this Mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus [the perfected and Self-realized man or woman]: who, being in the Image of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon
himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross [of birth into matter]. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every other name: that at the name of Christ Jesus [the achievement of AT-ONE-MENT] every knee should bend, . . . and that every tongue should confess that Christ Jesus is lord [that the Perfected man is the direct expression of the Inner Lord or Higher Ego], to the glory of God, the Father [the Inner Lord is the direct expression of the Divine Spark].
Anyone without prejudice, using an open mind, should be able to use his ability to reason and see why the original manuscripts are not available. They should understand why the only papers are in Greek.
The dead sea scrolls are from the Essene sect's belief in the Mithra beliefs that existed in this period. Since the bible used that belief in adding its spin so it would be accepted by some sects, Included various beliefs of the times.
