Clement of Alexandria wrote an entire book explaining Christian Gnosis, and what a Christian Gnostic is in the context of the apostolic Johannine writings. The enemy of the New Testament Gnosis is anti-docetic, neo-Platonic Gnosticism. The New Testament contains its own consciousness of Christian Gnosis. Apostle John wrote directly in address to the lie of Anti-docetic Gnosticism, while at the same time emphasizing Christian docetic Gnosticism sating "we know", "we know", "we know". Modern new age, anti-docetic gnosticism is what John refers to as the Antichrist. Modern anti-docetic gnostics have set up a false dichotomy between Gnosticism and Christianity. That is not where the rub is. The issue is between docetic and anti-docetic Gnosticism. So let's get the argument straight first of all. As a baptized believer in Jesus as the manifested Son of God, I am a docetic Gnostic. And I am not an anti-docetic Gnostic. I am a Christian, not an Antichristian. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 74876348 Puerto Rico 05/14/2017 04:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They claim truth is embodied within their myths, for all to interpret as they wish.. Quoting: kalamity kool "GNOSTICISM IS THE TEACHING based on Gnosis, the knowledge of transcendence arrived at by way of interior, intuitive means. Although Gnosticism thus rests on personal religious experience, it is a mistake to assume all such experience results in Gnostic recognitions. It is nearer the truth to say that Gnosticism expresses a specific religious experience, an experience that does not lend itself to the language of theology or philosophy, but which is instead closely affinitized to, and expresses itself through, the medium of myth. Indeed, one finds that most Gnostic scriptures take the forms of myths. The term “myth” should not here be taken to mean “stories that are not true”, but rather, that the truths embodied in these myths are of a different order from the dogmas of theology or the statements of philosophy."

Lofty Elim User ID: 75047635 United States 09/27/2017 08:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Gnosticism is about revealing the TRUTH within the Mystery of God. Basically proving God exists. When a Mystery is solved Gods work is Revealed. It's about KNOWING the Truth and UNDERSTANDING God. Look for the 'One' that is to REVEAL ALL TRUTHS. Wouldn't YOU like to KNOW the TRUTH. You've heard the Lies. The Messenger of TRUTH is Coming Soon. Thomas18:1 The Disciples said to Jesus... "Tell us... How will our 'End' come?" Jesus said..."Have you found 'The Beginning' then... that you are looking for 'The End'? You see... 'The End' will be... where 'The Beginning' is. Congratulations.... to the 'One'... Who stands at 'The Beginning'... that 'One' ... will Know 'The End' and will not taste death. John14:15 "If you Love me, you will keep my Commandments. And I will pray the 'Father'... and 'He' will give another Counselor to be with You forever, even the 'Spirit of Truth'... Whom the World cannot receive. Because... it neither sees 'Him' nor knows 'Him'. You know 'Him'... for 'He' dwells with you and will be in you." Luke7:27 "This is 'He' of whom it is written; Behold I send My Messenger before your face. 'Who' will prepare your way before you?" John16:7 "Nevertheless... I tell you the 'Truth'. It is to 'your' advantage that 'I' go away: for if 'I' do not go away.... the 'Helper' will not come to 'you'... but if 'I' depart, 'I' will send 'Him' to 'you'. And when 'He' comes... 'He' will convict the World of SIN... and of Righteousness... and of Judgment. Of SIN... because they do not believe in 'ME'. Of Righteous... because 'I' go to 'my Father' and you see me no more. Of Judgement... because the 'Ruler' of this World... is Judged. I still have many things to say to 'you'... but 'you' cannot bear them now. However... when 'He'.... the 'Spirit of Truth' has come. 'He' will guide 'you' into all 'Truth'. Last Edited by Lofty Elim on 09/27/2017 08:54 AM Psalm33:3 Sing unto 'Him' a 'New Song'. Play 'SKILLFULLY' with a 'LOUD NOISE'. |

The truth to be found separated from the ego and the mind isn't the same truth as what has been intellectually grasped, but if the experience isn't interpreted by the mind, did it even really exist? What knowledge of God have you gained? I have both experiences which can be called 'supernatural' and are deeply moving. I also have the knowledge given me by Jesus through his church, for me trying to stick to just the experiential would make my spiritual life very impoverished. Truth would remain a flotsam and jetsam thing, able to shape shift, which I don't believe is the case. Last Edited by Kalam on 09/28/2017 07:42 AM |
