Re: Jesus the man / JESUS the Archon – inspired by Houman’s Horus-Ra thread
The Crucifixion Hymn -
A Manichaean hymn in Parthian (http://www.gnosis.org/library/crucihymn.htm)
... Because of Satan the select were chosen by Jesus.
He (Satan) wanted to break through the fiery waves, to burn
the whole world with fire. The noble ruler (Jesus) changed his
garment and appeared before Satan in his power.
Then heaven and earth trembled, and Sammaèl plunged into
the deep. The true interpreter (Jesus) as filled with pity because
of the Light which the foe had devoured. He had raised it (the Light)
up from the deep pit of death to that place of zeal from which it
had descended.
Honor to you, Son of Greatness, who has liberated your righteous
ones. Protect, now, too, the Teacher Màr Zaku, the great keeper of your
radiant herd.
...
Awake, brethren, you chosen ones, on this day of the salvation of souls,
the foutreenth day of the month of Mihr, on which Jesus, the Son of God,
entered Parinirvana.
Harken, all you faithful:
When the time for the perfection of the Son of Man had come, all the
demons knew it. And the lord of the sinful doctrine ... covered himself
in deceit. And the demons took cunsel with each other. The twelve thrones
above were disturbed. Poison flowed down on the lower creation,
upon the sons, and the chalce of death was prepared for him (Jesus).
The Jews, the servants of the most high God, conceived of a deception ...
They conspired against the Son of Man. They devised evil; in deception
they brought forth false witnesses. Accursed Satan, who had always
troubled the apostles, molested the herd of Christ. He turned the treacherous
Iscariot into a steed, when the Most Beloved Jesus trusted the disciples.
He (Judas) indicated him to the night-watchman by a kiss on his hand.
He delivered the Son of God to the foes. He betrayed Truth. For the
sake of a rewrd that the Jews gave, he offered up his own lord and teacher.
Note:
Most parthians were Zoroastrians, it is interesting that this text is attributed to them and Mani (who was Persian).
Here is a video on the difference between Persians and Romans
and here is one on the clash between the 2 empires

The Roman Emperor Constantine was the first to embrace Christianity but he did not do so because he was a convert. This is evidenced by the fact that he did not receive baptism until he was on his deathbed. At the time he embraced Christianity as part of the Roman landscape he did so as a matter of political expediency. It was a means of controlling the masses. For this reason he sided with the hierarchy of priests, deacons and bishops as they were also declaring the right to control the flock. The Gnostics did not fit in to Constantine's plans. Gnosticism was self-empowering. This is not conducive to control by others.
Gnostic Gospels
As we might imagine, Constantine banned the Gnostics and ordered a book burning. Fortunately, a Gnostic or group of Gnostics buried a large stash of Gnostic scrolls in a cave near Nag Hammadi, Egypt. These were discovered in 1945 and were thereafter called the Nag Hammadi library. These are a compendium of 13 ancient works called codices containing more than 50 texts. This discovery was truly astonishing. We knew about many of these heretofore missing texts because they are referred to in other works. For example, the Bible refers to the Book of Jasher in two places. The Nag Hammadi library contains a significant number of primary Gnostic texts. These had been thought destroyed in the purge of Constantine. Three of the most important texts are the Gospel of Philip, the Gospel of Truth and, perhaps the most famous, the Gospel of Thomas...
