From “The Essene Humane Gospel of Christ”: Lord Jesus Wards Off Temptations, Part 2 of 2

“And Jesus looked at Satan, the father of every lie and false god of every evil and lust, and said: ‘Again I say unto you, ignorant one, ye know scripture well, even as ye have written much and corrupted the sacred truths. But hide not behind thy twisted interpretation of holy things, for thou are in darkness and see not the inner Heavenly Light, as holy men see and know. Because of thy deviation, the Holy Law flees from thee, for what is holy and pure has no fellowship with evil and sin. For there is no light in darkness and no truth in a lie, and ye have taught the lie as truth and said unto thy angels, thou alone are God, and there is no one else, but Holy Wisdom spoke unto you and said, You lie, Satanail, for the Eternal All is above the Rest. For thou know it is written, “Thou shall worship the Eternal All and Him alone shall thou serve in all purity of heart.” For ye know well, ye have the authority over this world for a time, but the age comes when all things shall enter into the Rest, and thy power and authority shall cease, yea, even as every evil work shall cease and be no more.’”

“And one day, certain ones of the Pharisees questioned Jesus, and said unto Him, ‘How says thou that God will condemn the world?’ And Jesus answered them, saying, ‘The Eternal One so loves the righteous seed in the world, and the only begotten Son came into the world, that whosoever believes in Him may not perish, but inherit everlasting life. God, therefore, sent not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him may be saved from bondage to death and sin. For I tell ye, truly, they who believe in Him sent, are not condemned; but they that believe not, condemn themselves, because they have not believed in the name of the only begotten of God.’” “‘For all they who do evil hate the Light, for the Light is good, neither come they to the Light, lest their evil deeds be exposed and condemned by the Holy Law. But they who work righteousness, come to the Light, for they are drawn to it out of love for all that is pure and holy, that their deeds may be made manifest and be approved by God. Thus, will they shine forth with the Light and conquer the evil with the good.’”
