________________ The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ an eternal fire and their lacerated bodies will be given to satisfy the appetite of wild beasts." 11 "God will expel the contaminated animals from His flocks but He will take back to Himself those who were misled by having misunderstood the celestial spark which dwelt in them." 12 Seeing the powerlessness of their priests these people believed in the teachings of Issa and adopted his faith and in fear of the anger of the Divinity broke their idols in pieces; seeing these priests fled to escape the popular vengeance. 13 And Issa taught the heathen not to try to see the Eternal Spirit with their own eyes, but rather to feel it with their heart and by a soul truly pure render themselves worthy of His favours. 14 He said to them : “Not only must you desist from making human sacrifices, but in general from sacrificing any animal to which life has been given, for all that has been created is for the benefit of man.' 15 “Steal not the property of another, for this would be taking away from your neighbour the things which he has acquired by the sweat of his brow." 16 “Deceive not any one, thus you shall not be deceived yourselves; try to justify yourselves before the last judgment, for then it will be too late." 106
