From ‘The Essene Humane Gospel of Christ’: Be Merciful to Animal-people, Part 1 of 2

We are pleased to present selections from The Essene Humane Gospel of Christ today, where Lord Jesus (vegetarian) guides us by example on the importance of taking care, treating well, and loving our animal friends. He also expounds on the benefits we receive by doing this.

Jesus Rescues A Horse From A Wicked Master

“And Jesus seeing this sad sight, said unto the man, ‘Son of cruelty, why beat thou thy creature? See thou not that it is too weak for its heavy load, and know thou not that it suffers much for thou delivering such painful blows?’

Then Jesus turned to His disciples and said for the second time, ‘See ye not how it bleeds, and hear ye not also how it cries and laments?’

And Jesus was saddened at them and said, ‘Woe unto you, because of the dullness of your hearts. Ye hear not how it laments or wails unto the Heavenly Creator for mercy, but there be woe unto its owner, against whom it cries and wails in its pain. For no mercy shall he find until he knows the Son of Man.’”

Unlawful To Torture Or Torment Animals

“‘Verily I say unto you, they who participate in and contemplate profits which are gotten by wronging one of God’s innocent creatures, cannot be righteous, nay, nor can they be allowed to touch holy things, or even come near to the table of the Lord, nor can they teach the mysteries of the Kingdom. For I tell ye, those whose hands are stained with blood, and whose mouths are defiled with the flesh of innocent creatures, are not worthy of life in this world, nor in the world to come. Let such be born again to the sacred truths of the kingdom or forever be forgotten of God, for by no means will such enter the Kingdom of Light, but will remain in darkness due to their bloodguilt.’

‘Wherefore, I say unto all who desire to be my true disciples, keep your hands from bloodshed and let no flesh meat enter your mouths, for God is just and bountiful, who ordains that man shall live by the fruits and seeds of the Earth alone.’

‘Yea, torment them not nor torture them in life or death or for profit of any kind, lest the Eternal Father withdraw His mercy from you. Yea, show mercy unto them, as ye expect mercy to be shown unto you; for every creature, small and great has been given into your hands and under your care, so remember ye, well, whatsoever ye do unto the least of these my children, ye do it unto me. For I am in them, and they are in me. Truly all of them are my creatures of good and holy standing.’

‘On this account, I say unto you, ‘So be ye humane and kind, one to another, and to all the creatures of God.’”
