Essenes Gospel and its falsification Dez 18

metaphorical meaning of the temple destruction from the
NT, which their predecessors presented as an actual scenario.
The idea of peace in connection with maintaining the
purity of the temple, that influences thoughts and directs
deeds, had also become a theme of the falsifiers and was replaced
with the terms "word" and "mind". “He who keeps
his temple pure enjoys the presence of the guard (angel) and
he triumphs over the enemy.
In the authentic texts of the Gospel of Essenes negative assertions
are quite rare. From time to time, the Essene Prophet
spoke of the consequences of life deprived of harmony
with nature, similar to the explanation by a physician of an
illness to his patients. But there were no threats that would
cause anxiety and fear. The authors of the Teachings of Silvanus,
however, proceeded in similar manner as the falsifiers
of the New Testament, conjuring anxiety and manipulating
the authentic texts to evoke threats or reproaches against
their followers.
In part, they literally repeated the words of the Essene
Prophet. They often rewrote the texts, adding many synonyms
and original language. On the whole, however, the
Gospel of Essenes was clearly and unequivocally recognizable
as a source of the Teachings of Silvanus.
It is a fact that this plagiarism of the Gospel of Essenes was
connected with the falsification of the New Testament, confirming
that the falsifiers borrowed the texts from the authentic
Gospel only once. This also confirms that the sermons
used by the falsifiers to compose the Teachings of Silvanus
were texts the falsifiers of the NT has not previously extracted
to represent the remainder of the "unused" Gospel of Essenes.
