Here "Silvanus" restored the meaning of the "temple"<br />

as referring to the body. And he even mentioned that<br />

the temple can become a grave. Yet because the consumption<br />

of meat is condoned in the NT, the reader<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>s a symbolic meaning behind this statement.<br />

Through these words the Essene Baptist told us<br />

that decay is not part of the Divine Plan. The Silvanus<br />

quotation confirms that purity of the body leads<br />

to righteousness.<br />

Quote from the Teachings of Silvanus:<br />

“The soul, which is a member of God’s household, is one,<br />

which is kept pure, <strong>and</strong> the soul, which has put on Christ, is<br />

one, which is pure. It is impossible for it to sin. Now where<br />

Christ is, there sin is idle. Let Christ alone enter your<br />

world, <strong>and</strong> let him bring to naught all powers, which have<br />

come upon you. Let him enter the temple, which is within<br />

you, so that he may cast out all the merchants. Let him<br />

dwell in the temple, which is within you, <strong>and</strong> may you<br />

become for him a priest <strong>and</strong> a Levite, entering in purity.”<br />

Quote from the Essene <strong>Gospel</strong>:<br />

I tell you truly, God <strong>and</strong> his laws are not in that which you<br />

do. They are not in gluttony <strong>and</strong> in wine-bibbing, neither in<br />

riotous living, nor in lustfulness, nor in seeking after riches,<br />

nor yet in hatred of your enemies. For all these things are far<br />

from the true God <strong>and</strong> from his angels. But all these things<br />

come from the kingdom of darkness <strong>and</strong> the lord of all evils.<br />
