attrubuted many sermons to Paul: sermons that were spoken<br />

by the original Essene Prophet, who, according to his own<br />

statements, was the presaged Prophet. An example is "The<br />

Great Song of love".<br />

The document "The doctrines of Silvanus" makes it clear<br />

that that the author himself possessed no wisdom, rather<br />

copied a document revealing the Doctrine of the Essene<br />

Prophet. The author evidently understood this doctrine <strong>and</strong><br />

presented it as his own. He tried to reproduce it in his own<br />

words, while paying attention to the rules of <strong>falsification</strong> as<br />

information from the <strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong>, in order to shape it<br />

in accordance with the writings of the NT.<br />

knowledge <strong>and</strong> wisdom was profound <strong>and</strong> whose teaching<br />

was poetic, the author of the Teachings of Silvanus presented<br />

his knowledge in an amateur fashion, i.e. lacking foundation<br />

<strong>and</strong> concept. He merely borrowed concepts from the<br />

<strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong> <strong>and</strong> used them with the same intention of<br />

the falsifiers of the NT. In the end, he managed to clumsily<br />

<strong>and</strong> stupidly disguise the wonderful text.<br />

In accordance with the attempt to replace the headings of the<br />

<strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong> with similar headings, e.g. The "Secret<br />

Doctrine of the <strong>Essenes</strong>" with the "Secret <strong>Gospel</strong> of St.<br />
