A few verses from the Gospel of Philip (by James Brantingham) © (2021) Holy Wisdom and the Logos of God.
5 He showed us the Kingdom. The City of God, decorated with light, filled with compassion and love. It is the Heaven above Heaven and the paradise in the All in All. In that place death is no more; life is eternal and in repose, and we look upon the face of God.
47God is a dyer. His royal dyes fuse with us when we are immersed below living water — and baptized. They permeate us with good and behold, sin and death is washed away.
138 This ark will be our rescue, when the raging waters of chaos overtake us. A maelstrom is coming; and Hell itself will break out, destroying everyone and everything in its path. But the Wisdom and the Word will save us.”
110 This one believes, that one does not; even so they live together and are unified. Though no longer two but one, yet Flesh and blood cannot enter the Kingdom.”
129 He who creates is a creature; he who begets is a Son; He who creates cannot beget; but he who begets can create. Yet people say, He who creates, begets but a creator cannot beget a God. Only God can beget a God.

13 The Adversary, fallen angels and demonic leaders deceive humanity. They take the good from these Archons and label good, evil. This Malevolent Spirit, was a hypostasis (or creation) from Sofia. But since Sofia received from the Father, Breath or Spirit she ultimately caused the breath to pass into the Earthly Adam. This gave Adam life, soul and a spark of (God’s) Spirit; a spark of light. Thus spirit was finally transferred to the last Adam — the living Yeshua, filling him with the Holy Spirit, making him the Anointed One. Then the Son of Man lived among us.
Yet, the Chief Archon, and his angels, mis-appropriated names for themselves: Savior, Redeemer as did the (fallen) angels and demons. The Adversary and his angels applied these names to what was not good. Putting words into the Anointed’s mouth that were deceitful. These words were joined to that which is without Truth or Goodness. And the Fallen mislead people. Even unknowing Clerics mislead with his lies and simulations, making free people slaves.
14 Angels, demons and their ideas, enslave Humanity. Because they do not want them saved. To gain freedom, humanity sacrificed living animals or precious possessions. Yeshua was offered up dead. His Disciples scattered with his failure, or so it seemed.But this dead man, God resurrected in glory. This confirming act of power filled his followers with unspeakable Hope and Joy. And instantaneous ‘Gnosis’ thus, they understood that Death is not the end — Yeshua is the Messiah, the Anointed, The One.
21 “The Messiah has everything. He is: Man, Messenger, Mystery, and Fire.”
24 “Some fear death, being revived without a body. As incorporeal spirits without flesh. Then they will be seen for what they really are. And to be fully revealed is to be terrified. They know they are neither pure, simple, holy, nor good. Neither are allsure they are truly spirit or light. They do not remember they have become spirit and when brought to Heaven, will be welcomed in; welcomed as spirit and as light. They are no longer ignorant and are therefore forgiven. Thus in their garment of light they will enter the Kingdom of God.”
25 I pity and rebuke those who deny resurrection of the flesh. Who claim no flesh can inherit eternal life. Neither human flesh nor blood can inherit the Kingdom; the Life to Come. Then what is unable? Yeshua said it: he who eats not my flesh and drinks not my blood, has no eternal life within him.”
What is his flesh? It is the Bread of Being (the Logos, Torah, and Gnosis). And what is his blood? (the wine) the Holy Spirit and Life. Those who have this, have spirit and life now and, in the Life to Come.
Whoever welcomes these has received real food, real drink, and a garment. But remember…
What you are — you are in a body;
What you do — you do in a body.
Arise thou now — in this body, in this life!
For everything exists in it.
Death awaits us, but God will remember.
Remember your body, soul and spirit.
And the Breath of the Blessed One
will knit you back together.
His divine gnosis and power will bring us back.
143 If one becomes with the son of Man a child of God, they may enter the Bridal chamber and receive their garment of Light. But if they do not receive Gnosis here, they will not receive it there, in the Life-to-Come.
Yet one who receives this light, is not visible nor can they be seized. Moreover, when they die they leave this world knowing that Truth is but an image. Neither evil daemons, fallen angels nor any being will disturb their journey Home. Today, even as you dwell in the flesh, you mix joyfully in the world. Yeshua said it… I have come that you may have life, and have it abundantly… but, be in the world but not of the world.
For these Messianics, here is a Holy Place; now, is a Holy Time. As children of God you too will enter the Bridal Chamber and there become whole, healed and at peace. In this world His Kingdom has begun; and you have already entered the Heaven above Heaven, into the Fullness, and are part of His All in All.
Freed, you no longer live in shadow but in the light. No longer trapped and hiding in darkness nor by the night; instead you are concealed in a Perfect Day and by His Holy light.
