Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1747431 United States 11/18/2012 08:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So, what do these Gnostic Gospels actually teach that caused them to be labeled as heresy by early Christians? For example, Gnosticism teaches that the universe and the world was not created by an all-knowing God, but by a lesser god, who lacked the intellect to create a perfect universe. The Gospel of Philip says that “the world came about through a mistake. For he who created it wanted to create it imperishable and immortal. He fell short of attaining his desire.” It is believed that this lesser god came from fall out among cosmic beings, making him a substandard deity. The result of his creation was a universe polluted with ignorance, pain, decay and death. And yet this deity demands worship and even proclaims himself to be the one true God. what happens when you are forced to create chaos? karma does come full circle all lives matter... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1747431 "Gnosis" knowledge and wisdom collide... Gnosis is not the path to The Christ. It is the path to self. It has it roots in self sufficiency. Not utter lack of sufficiency in God and His Power. Trusting fully in God which is what leads a man To Christ. That some secret spiritual knowledge can bring a man to the fullness of The Christ. Only one thing can bring a man to The Christ. The Father... And when a man comes to The Father and The Son, he brings nothing of his own. Not spiritual knowledge or wisdom, not pride. Not self. The early Christians knew complete reliance on The Spirit of God to provide all things. They placed no confidence in themselves or their own selves. The complete opposite of Gnosis. And it is evident when one reads the gospels and epistles and compares them to the gnostic writings. Very, very different Spiritual driving force. |
