<strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong> had been corrupted.<br />

The Secret <strong>Gospel</strong> of Mark from monastery<br />

Mar Saba near Betlehem.<br />

This fragment was discovered in the summer of 1958 in the<br />

monastery of Mar Saba <strong>and</strong> was estimated to date from<br />

around 150 AD. The document consists of two parts:<br />

1. The Letter from Clement of Alex<strong>and</strong>ria to Theodorus <strong>and</strong><br />

2. The fragment of the Secret <strong>Gospel</strong> of Mark.<br />

The author acknowledges the existence of a secret gospel.<br />

One can also perceive that he understood the content of the<br />

Essene <strong>Gospel</strong>. He formulated this doctrine to his advantage<br />

<strong>and</strong> used terminology from the <strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong> in terms of<br />

purity <strong>and</strong> perfection <strong>and</strong> applied this to the doctrine of<br />

Christianity. He is so shameless, revealing his plagiarism he<br />

attributing this to another falsifiers – a tactic of “skipping<br />

over the details” that we encounter again <strong>and</strong> again during<br />

the entire counterfeiting strategy.<br />

The letter describes the doctrine of the entire <strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> shows that the falsifiers understood the complete<br />

gospel of purity <strong>and</strong> perfection.<br />

The Secret <strong>Gospel</strong> of Mark, specifically the second part of<br />

the letter, refers exclusively to a small part of the first book<br />

of the <strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong>, published for the first time in<br />

1928.<br />

This document proves both the authenticity of the first book<br />

of the <strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong> as well as the Peace <strong>Gospel</strong> of the<br />

<strong>Essenes</strong>. The statements in the letter of Clemens also provide<br />

hints from the other books of the <strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong> <strong>and</strong> also<br />

prove their existence <strong>and</strong> their authenticity.<br />
