"Well, many things have been said about the Essenes. Who are the Essenes, what are the Dead Sea scrolls, etc The catholic church was really bothered because the Dead Sea scrolls show in an obvious way that all that Jesus had done, were things that existed already. Jesus came into a tradition! This calls into question the whole catholic
church, who says that Jesus is a self begotten son of God, descended from the sky just like that in the middle of nowhere. Well they were very bothered, because we see quite openly in the scrolls that Jesus came into a tradition which existed already and that he was a son of man who became a son of God – as he says himself –, that means
an Essene!"


"Look at Jesus: “Do you want to follow me? Follow me! Let the
dead bury the dead. I came for life, to give you life. But a life that you don’t know, a divine life, a life above, a life with high ideas, a life which comes from on high, a life which is going to fill you with something spiritual, a life that we don’t see.”
