question about evil
Re: question about evil
"Can you help but do evil? I do not see how. Do you?
And if you cannot, why would God punish you?"
*Who told you that you were naked?*
(certainly not Me!)
*and not only our sins, but the sins of the whole world*
etcetc, for days

Re: question about evil
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. Like, I don't really know my neighbor for example - I might acknowledge him, greet him on the street, maybe share a BBQ or a gaming session once in a while - I have no idea how he would act in any given situation since I don't know what goes on in his aion (he alone does) ... despite this, I can say I *know* him. I know he's there, and we know each other.
I dunno how one's supposed to know the Lord, but this, with infinitely more love, is how one knows Father: as a loving person. This is the only way to know the unknowable as far as I can tell.

You say we have to know god as a person and I fully agree with that and that is what Gnostic Christianity teaches and preaches.
It all begins by knowing yourself as deeply as you can, which is Gnosis.

Your thinking, as you can see from this link, is older and wiser than what the mainstream garbage religions are preaching from the idiotic supernatural thinking.

Re: question about evil
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 = father (john jim jack). THIS is also the Father, if you will.But without confirmation, it is all speculative and likely nonsense.
for crying out loud THERE IS NO PROPER GNOSTIC CHRISTIANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!! with gnosis you're trying to know the Father! You already know God to be an abortion of wisdom. It's the Father you're after! Stay on the ground.You say we have to know god as a person and I fully agree with that and that is what Gnostic Christianity teaches and preaches.
This is what I am trying to say all along, but then you back up to heights with abstract evil and such abortions of rumination.Your thinking, as you can see from this link, is older and wiser than what the mainstream garbage religions are preaching from the idiotic supernatural thinking.
Re: question about evil
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.

Re: question about evil
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, plus Askewianus, plus Tchachos. All of the books. In the sets they came in. They all belong to the same school btw, regardless of whatever they seem to be saying.
done that? Good, now do it again.
And again and again. Do it so much your mental constructs fold.
Then you will perhaps be closer to Father yourself.

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

I guess that reciprocity and the ways of an esoteric ecumenist does not apply to idol worshipers like you.

Re: question about evil
Try Jung and Freud's Father Complex to see why the ancients called god father.
