PS

And you want me to accept those liars who speak for your god. Rh, no thanks.

I don't have a god. Learn to read. And, styling yourself gnostic, accept the Father.

As you can see from that quote, if we see God's kingdom all around us and inside of us, we cannot think that the world is anything but evolving perfection. Most just don't see it and live in poverty. Let me try to make you see the world the way I do. The world is a process. Perfection and evolution...

By saying 'we', you're speaking of the Father (the All), of whom you feel part of. But you should know the All thanks no one. All it does is love. You really should become like a little child - remember how you used to think Dad was awesome? Or maybe you thought he should be awesome? Either way, it ...

PS Catholics seldom get this, but this kind of worldview cannot be considered religion: ... seems like you guys need to believe in your God, while as a gnostic , I should know my kind of highest exists, and I myself am the evidence. There is no device between me and the evidence of cosmic love I rec...

I feel kind of triggered by Gnostic Bishop's morality ramblings representing 'gnosis' on this forum ... so let me give a short gnostic sermon as a small outlet of my irritation. Let's have a gnostic religious moment here, however absurd does the very thought sound (gnosis is a reaction to religion ,...

And here's a more direct answer to your question. A god may not be good, and due to the quote that "what is inside you, you see outside you", even the God might not be good. Aions are the ones creating the archons, that includes God. (By "aions" I mean "actual living beings&...

I didn't expect to have my cup of morning joe writing this, but let's go. :goodmorning: Enough with the Church-blaming, an actual Gnostic should accept due historic responsibility. For one, by believing the world to be Hell, Cathars have set themselves to be burned. It makes perfect sense. Read! You...

By the way, there's also this: My son, do not swim in any water, and do not allow yourself to be defiled by strange kinds of knowledge. Certainly you know that the schemes of the Adversary are not few, and (that) the tricks which he has are varied? Especially has the noetic man been robbed of the in...

Birger A. Pearson writes, "The Teachings of Silvanus is the only non-Gnostic tractate in Nag Hammadi Codex VII and one of the few non-Gnostic tractates in the corpus as a whole. This is a bold statement. What do you have to back it up? Because "Abolish every childish time of life, acquire...

But it's much too elaborate to be coincidental. What's up with that, anyway? Was it an ancient method to facilitate the death of crucified people in orderly fashion or something? Because really, I don't believe I've seen gall & vinegar in a sponge on a stick mentioned anyplace else but floor wip...
