56. Jesus said,
“Whoever has come to understand the World
has found only a corpse,
and whoever has found a corpse,
is superior to the World.”
49. Jesus said,
“Blessed are the Solitary and Elect,
for you will find The Kingdom.
For you are from it, and to it you will return.”
50. Jesus said, “If they say to you,
“Where did you come from?”
say to them, “We came from The Light,
the place where The Light came into being on Its own accord
and established Itself and became manifest through their Image.”
If they say to you, “Is it you?”
say, “We are its children,
and we are the elect of The Living Father.”
If they ask you,
“What is the sign of your Father in you?”
say to them, “It is Movement and Repose.”
39. Jesus said,
“The Pharisees and the Scribes
have taken The Keys of Knowledge
and Hidden Them.
They themselves have NOT entered,
nor have they allowed to enter
those who wish to.
You, however, be as wise as serpents
and as innocent as doves.”
85. Jesus said,
“Adam came into being from a great power and a great wealth,
but he did not become worthy of you.
For had he been worthy, he would not have experienced death.”

1. In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth.
2. And the Earth was without form, and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And the Earth was without form, and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

The Ethiopic version of the Old and New Testament was made from the Septuagint. It includes the book of Enoch, Baruch, and the third and fourth Esdras. In the international Bible studies there are certain books belonging to the class usually designated pseudepigraphic. The whole Christendom and whole-learned world owes a debt of gratitude to the church of Ethiopia for the preservation of those documents.
Among these books is the book of Enoch which throws so much light on Jewish thought on various points during the centuries immediately preceding the Christian era. The book of Jubilee (Kufale, i.e. Division) otherwise known as the Little Genesis has also been preserved entire only in the Ethiopic version. The preservation of yet one more book in its entity, namely, the Ascension of Isaiah, is to be remembered to the credit of the Ethiopic Church.
But books, which should be considered for higher education and could be prepared carefully in order to suit modern thinking, are the following.
1st. The Heaven. (Not the sky or heavens)
and then
2nd. The Earth.
2. And the Earth was without form, and void;

Thank you for the link, I will certainly take a look....
I have read The Books of E'Noch.... (many had been destroyed by the Roman church I have been told)
I had access to a Synagogue Library and spent much time there.

This is a VERY interesting site I stumbled upon a few years ago. I won't say I agree with some of it but it is very enlightening. One to bookmark if interested in major religious philosophy. Warning: Once you start reading, you may find yourself captivated.

2. Jesus said,
“Let him who seeks, continue seeking, until he finds.
When he finds, he will become troubled.
When he becomes troubled,
he will be astonished,
and he will rule over The All.”
77. Jesus said,
“It is I who Am The LIGHT which is above them all.
It is I who Am The All.
From Me did The All come forth, and unto Me did The All extend.
Split a piece of wood, and I am there.
Lift up the stone, and you Will Find Me there.”
