Touche on the idol worshipping bit! I guess I really shouldn't have told an "ecumentic esotericist" (meaning: "new-ager") to study the very source code to gnosis on its own terms , huh? Anything but that! Brr yuck ancient books :lol: Strange that you can denigrate and trash the t...

And read the actual NHL, not it's translations. It's simpler once you figure out how to cheat.

Grace, understanding, perception and contemplation shall be your guiding lights towards Father, bishop. Renounce all earthly possessions (= let go of all the gnosticist garbage and Church opinions on Heresy) and follow Mind - that is commons sense ; now go and read the whole of NHL, plus Brucianus, ...

I should elaborate...

You should know Father the way you would a person (exists, loves, likes it if I love, loves life - I know him but there is probably more to him than i am aware of), BUT NOT as if they were an actual person.

But without confirmation, it is all speculative and likely nonsense. Dude, the very fact that you breathe and type is the confirmation that there is a father somewhere with your tag on him. There was a father that fathered him as well, think: father of john the father of jim the father of jack = fa...

Education about God is not knowing God. You're supposed to know him like you would a person. I think?! It's the most sane way to go about it.

*sigh* Look. A few examples. Killing is not evil. Excessive killing that disrespects life, that is evil. One being harming another is not evil. One being harming another for reasons that have nothing to do with sustaining its own existence - that is evil. Extinction of species so they can become foo...

You see duality as forces in opposition. They are not and like Yin and Yang, they compliment each other. Think front and back or top and bottom.

Then there is no duality since both Light and Darkness have a just reason for existence. Evil does not.

I've since edited my post into oblivion, as you see. Yeah, I suck. You might want to think before you write. What fun would that be? Let me ask again. Are those moral tenets good or evil. Just or unjust? They aren't even moral. They are just direct instructions. Which you are supposed to obey, or el...

I may not be able to boost you over your own inflated personality. Well you've been doing a good job so far Are you saying that you do not think that those tenets are moral and should be our standard? :thumbdown: :thumbdown: if so. When they are based on something as vague and subjective as 'sin' a...
