It seems that Gnostic Christianity, Coptic Christianity, and Greek or Eastern Orthodox Christianity are the deepest forms of Christianity.
Quoting: Buddha Nature  but what do you know Not much. But I do know that Christianist Evangelism (Zionism), Christianist Neoconservatism (Zionism), and Roman Catholicism aren't the way to go. Well I do think that there have been genuine saints within the Roman Catholic church at times (such as Thomas á Kempis). In general though, the Vatican reeks of corruption. And it just seems that Gnostic Christianity, Coptic Christianity, and Greek or Eastern Orthodox Christianity are the closest to the original Christianity. Or the Nestorians (don't know if they're even still around though). It would be worthwhile to look up the writings of the Desert Fathers. The Philokalia for example. And I have to laugh because gnostic Christianity has been highly infiltrated, it's practically a minefield now. Anyways, best to go straight to the source. Ask the father and have a bible handy. You really don't need a church, but it can be beneficial of course. Don't get caught up in cult masquerading as Christianity Yea most groups calling themselves Gnostics nowadays are likely interpreting scriptures at their own whim (or the whim of their corrupt leaders) like most of the other denominations. And I'm not confident in really any of the English translations of the Bible. To me Thomas á Kempis was enlightened, and not because he was in the Roman Catholic church; meaning that his realizations likely had little to nothing to do with him being in the Roman Catholic church. In any case, mark my words, if you take the time to study The Imitation of Christ by Thomas á Kempis and the Philokalia of the Desert Fathers, you won't be disappointed. Based on what I've read of both, I prefer the Philokalia. But both works are indispensable Christian study IMO.
