Amrit Sandhu talks with Aaron Abke, a pastor’s son who was a full-time pastor and later left church religion. Abke says the teachings of Jesus were changed over the centuries and that the four gospels, read alone, show a Jesus who taught love, mercy and keeping the commandments. He describes the Nazarenes and Essenes as the movement Jesus came from, and says Mary Magdalene was probably his partner and was written out of the story. He argues that some letters under Paul’s name are forgeries. He points to the Talpiot tomb, to the Tibetan scroll quoted by Notovich, and to the Gnostic texts. He then turns to the ego, the Crusades, near-death experiences and what a second coming might mean. Everything here is Abke’s reading, and he often says he is giving his best guess.
Key points
- Abke says Jesus never taught that God needs blood to forgive sins, and points to his words on love, mercy and the commandments.
- He says the Nazarenes were an Essene type of Jewish group that Jesus belonged to, and that the Gnostics and the Nazarenes were later pushed out.
- He says Mary Magdalene was probably Jesus’s partner and that Jesus probably had a child, and gives it as his guess.
- He cites the Talpiot tomb and a Tibetan scroll quoted by Nicholas Notovich as clues about Jesus’s family and the missing years.
- He says only some of Paul’s letters are by Paul, and that church writers pushed Mary and the feminine to the side.
- He describes his book on three beliefs of the ego: lack, attachment and control.
- He says the Crusades turned Jesus into a symbol of war, and that the second coming means a return to his message.
