Through Christian orientation within my family circle I<br />

came to know the Bible. Christian Doctrine, however, was<br />

not convincing to me.<br />

My family <strong>and</strong> friends knew that I had always considered<br />

the natural uncooked foods as the optimal form of nourishment,<br />

so I received the entire <strong>Gospel</strong> of the <strong>Essenes</strong> in 1989<br />

as a present. When I finished reading it, I had no doubt that<br />

this gospel was the original message that a holy man in the<br />

1st century AD had told the Jewish people. I was enchanted<br />

by the words of the Essene Prophet, whose message captivated<br />

me.<br />

At first I could not explain the important resemblance between<br />

the <strong>Gospel</strong> of the <strong>Essenes</strong> <strong>and</strong> the New Testament. It<br />

occurred to me that the Essene spoke of the reward of Paradise<br />

in words of love, while Jesus in the NT threatened the<br />

punishment of hell, which was basically the same message<br />

from a different perspective. At first glance I recognized a<br />

deviation in the <strong>Gospel</strong> of the <strong>Essenes</strong>, which I knew from<br />

the Epistle of Paul to Corinthian, under the "Lord of Love:"<br />

"And if I give up all my possessions to feed the poor, <strong>and</strong> all<br />

my fire which I have received from my father, but have no<br />

love, it is of no avail to me ...." 1<br />

I compared the verse with the Corinthian letter that Paul is<br />

said to have written, <strong>and</strong> I was amazed by the sentence:<br />

“all my fire that I have received from my Father”,<br />
