Essenes Gospel and its falsification Dez 18

The superior role of the earth, which is to nurture and cultivate,
and even to honor and protect, so that no one is hungry

that he would pay his old debts, but the next day he
began again. And for more than seven years the son continued
in his riotous living. But, at last, his father lost patience

deceived in their wrath took the son into slavery that he
might, by his daily toil, pay back to them the money which
he had borrowed. And then ceased the eating and drinking
