It also proves to us that books 2, 3, <strong>and</strong> 4 are from the same<br />

stock <strong>and</strong> represent an inseparable unity from which the plagiarists<br />

wrote the document. Edmond Szekely already stated<br />

this.<br />

For this reason, we know that Szekely's claims regarding the<br />

texts from the <strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong>, which we find in the Qumran<br />

roles, are not based on deception by Szekely, rather are<br />

true.<br />

The doctrines of Silvanus contain themes from the <strong>Gospel</strong> of<br />

<strong>Essenes</strong>, some of which are in now way different from the<br />

<strong>Gospel</strong> of <strong>Essenes</strong>. In part, they are very controversial<br />

themes that the NT falsifiers absolutely wanted to avoid:<br />

The purity of the body, for example; the earth, the origin of<br />

of Paradise <strong>and</strong> of the development that mankind can<br />

achieve. The falsifiers seized upon the positive themes <strong>and</strong><br />

transformed them into negative. They directed accusations,<br />

exhortations, <strong>and</strong> questions, as well as employing symbolic<br />

synonyms as needed to pursue their intentions. This explains<br />

why the source from which the texts were drawn was<br />

made unrecognizable.<br />

For example: the Essene Prophet declares (by means of a<br />

simile) how the disease he calls "Satan" robs man's peace,<br />

<strong>and</strong> how the disease is driven from the body through fasting.<br />

In our case, we are speaking of a tapeworm. He compares<br />
