The Unvarnished Truth of Yehoshua's Ministry
Here at Forgiven Temple Ministries follow the teachings of Yehoshua in the traditions of Melchizedek, Seth, David and Solomon. We honor and celebrate the Divine Spark of Life within each of us in a cooperative and spiritually lifting harmonious traditions of Yehoshua.
The Nag Hammadi Library (discovered in 1945 near Nag Hammadi, Egypt) consists of 13 codices with about 52 mostly Gnostic texts from the 2nd–4th centuries CE, written in Coptic. These include gospels, revelations, and dialogues attributed to Yehoshua (today, often called Jesus Christ, the Savior) and his followers, most especially those 12 of inner circle. They do not describe a biographical "ministry" as defined through the narratives of empire and the Church of Rome or Eastern Orthodox Churches, which deliver a narrative of a created very public timeline of miracles, preaching tours, crucifixion, and resurrection like the canonical Gospels.
Rather, the Gnostic Gospels of the Nag Hammadi Library and the books of the Ethiopian Bible considered by the west inspired, though not canonical. In the long referred to “Hidden” or “Secret” Gospels, these noted scriptures emphasize Yehoshua as a divine revealer of Gnosis (knowledge) for spiritual awakening and and true salvation from the material world of Yaldabaoth, the demiurge or the Elohim ha’eloim (god of gods of Psalm 82, the false, arrogant spirit which rules the material realms who earnestly believes himself the Universal Farther of all things which is demonstrably false though his delusion).
Yehoshua delivers the message of brings Gnostic wisdom; esoteric insight into the divine realm, the soul's origin, and escape from ignorance/archonic control. His role is primarily as teacher of mysteries, not primarily as a suffering savior whose death atones for sins. Many texts present post-resurrection dialogues where the risen Yehoshua instructs disciples on cosmology, the true Father, and salvation.
Teaching Spiritual Over Material: The material world is often seen as flawed or a prison (influenced by Platonic and Sethian ideas). Salvation comes through self-knowledge, realizing one's divine spark, and transcending duality, living in Ruach Hga’ Chodesh (Holy Spirit) inside and out. Texts like the Gospel of Thomas gather 1st hand narratives in a minimalized context. The Apocryphon of John and Sophia of Jesus Christ (aka The Wisdom of Yehoshua) frame revelations as secret teachings to specific disciples (John, Philip and others).
The text blends cosmology with soteriology (teachings on salvation). Key elements: The Ineffable Father: Described as infinite, incomprehensible, imperishable, unchanging good, without likeness or form. The ultimate source beyond all. Emanations and Aeons: Hierarchical divine beings emanate from the Father. Highlights androgynous figures: Immortal Man (or Self-Father). His consort: Great Sophia. Their son: First-begotten androgynous Son (the Anointed One) in male aspect; Sophia, Mother of the Universe, in female aspect).
: Sophia (Wisdom) is a central divine feminine figure—consort, mother, and begettress. She desires to create independently, contributing to the fall into materiality (a common Gnostic motif). Jesus/Savior comes to awaken the divine spark trapped in matter.
Regarding creation and the material world: The Gospels explain the origins of gods, angels, the universe, and the lower realms ruled by archons (rulers). The material world is a flawed imitation; true reality is in the divine pleroma (fullness). With regard to Salvation: Through knowing the truths by the dogmas of religion, Yehoshua reveals the light of truth. Theme’s emphases unity, awakening the "drop" sent from Sophia, and returning to the light. Yehoshua explained he came to perfect what was defective.
Post-Resurrection Ministry: In this text, Yehoshua’s' public ministry is secondary. The focus is on Gnostic Wisdom, post-resurrection teachings for the elect. He is the Great Savior from Infinite Light who imparts wisdom to overcome ignorance and the archonic powers. This aligns with broader Nag Hammadi themes: revelation over historical narrative, inner gnosis over external atonement.
We take caution not to conflate the Pistis Sophia (Faith-Wisdom), a longer, later (3rd–4th century) Gnostic text (not in Nag Hammadi, but from the Askew Codex). That work features extensive post-resurrection dialogues and 1st hand interaction with Yehoshua himself (11+ years) about Sophia's fall, repentance, and complex heavenly hierarchies, with heavy involvement of Miriam of Magdala and other women within Yehoshua’s orbit. This sacred text is more ritualistic and cosmological than those of the Nag Hammadi Library..
