How can the 'Son' be the 'Spirit', and also have the Spirit in Himself? Jesus is God's 'Only Begotten' son, God's only Son, period. Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity with the Father and the Spirit. Jesus is our Master and the "Light". What else can I say to convince you?
Because, THE SON IS NOT JESUS, but the Spirit! Get OUT of your mind that any human being is 'the Son' -- the "only begotten" Spirit. It is not to be read as exclusive, but rather as unique. There are many begotten Masters. The Spirit is not dependent on any human form, but the human form is dependent on the Spirit. The orthodoxy INVENTED the Trinity. There is NO TRINITY in Hebrew Matthew, an early version of that text.

This was done so that they could SAY Jesus was the one and only, went he WASN'T. John the Baptist was a savior. One who BAPTIZES is a SAVIOR. That is what baptism IS. It got watered down BY THE CHURCH into a mere ritual by the time the canon was declared, in 367 CE by Athanasius, in his Vestal Letter on Easter. I think it was in response to his letter that the Nag Hammadi Pachomian monks buried their sacred texts, the Nag Hammadi Library and the Gospel of Judas (nearby in Al Minya) so they wouldn't have them confiscated. Some of these Gnostic monks, and others WERE KILLED, including James, who led a group that taught the same thing as the Gnostics, but in Qumran, Jordan. Paul had letters from the Jerusalem authorities to persecute the Jamesians, and he ultimately KILLED James.

You are just hearing the Pauline Church version of the history, which is all made up to protect Paul. It ISN'T a record. It is Church PROPAGANDA to get rid of James, a direct challenge to Paul's phony authority. READ EISENMAN. He knows the Scrolls better than any other living scholar. I read all his books and he is RIGHT. Paul is the Spouter of Lying. James was the Righteous Teacher, NOT JESUS. He was invented. Just like Judas.
Real saviors are always in the world. They MUST be living to save: John 6:40 and 9:4-5 with C. Sinaiticus "sent US" not "sent ME" indicating that Masters are just as limited as we are to "working" while living. There is a Master in the world NOW. There is never a time when there isn't a living Master in the world -- a living, breathing, beautiful, kind, living 'SAVIOR.' Doesn't that make more sense? What about those born and who died BEFORE Jesus was born? They don't get a chance to hear about Jesus?????????
Be sure your Master is a real one, not just someone you read about. HE may not have been real at all.
