Are you a God in waiting, or have you stepped up to your destiny?

If one is created in God’s image, as you and I are, and can know good and evil, as most of us do, then if you believe the scriptures, you have reached Godhood.

Gen3;22 Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil;

Note the “Us”.

Those foolish Christians who believe in the one supernatural God can never live their true naturalistic religion.

Those Christians can never be “Us”, as they see some major immoral sins as good. Homophobia and misogyny.

Unfortunately, they will never gain a Jesus consciousness or be elected to Christ.

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

I find more Jesus consciousness in non-believers, than in the right-wing believers.

This is not to say that the right are not mostly good.

Most are not quite the best good, as they have let supernatural belief have them forget their predestined legacy.

Their single eye is closed.

Religiously speaking, if Christians are fearful of becoming Jesus like, it is no wonder that the only Christian denomination that does live his and her Christian religion, are Gnostic Christian.

Christian who are unaware of how he is supposed to interpret and live Christianity, should ask a Gnostic Christian.

What the inquisitors wrote into history to justify themselves, are mostly lies.

We died because we were the good Christians, who recognized our religious due and destiny.

We also died for naming the supernatural god, evil.

Jesus died for Gnostic Christians, not Constantine’s Christians.

As Jesus asked in the bible, have you forgotten that you are a God?

Step up to your destiny and single your eye.

The supernatural is killing our eco system.

Natural might be a lesser evil than un-natural supernatural.

As I thought Gnostic Christianity is no differnt than any other version if Christianity. Exploitative and evengelical, bring in those converts.


And again why would Jesus who was a Jew preaching Jewish scripture and prophets have a yet to come Gnostic Christianity in mind?

Really, Steve? There's a book on it, therefore it exists only for profit? On what topic is there not a book?

The idea that Jesus came for Gnostcs is just as bizarre as any Evangelical version of Jesus.

There appears to be a market for Gnostic Christian materials as there is for mainstream Christians. There is always money to be made with religion. The temple in the time of Jesus was what we today would call a corporation, it made money on rituals and the slaughter of animals. It employed people and created jobs supporting and supplying temple business.

Gnostic Christianity is just one of many versions of Jesus. All religions are illusory thought fabrications.

As with all of Christianity I assume there are Gnostic Christians who are fine regular people.

A Gnostic Christian apologist?

I am sure my meaning is clear to you.

If I were toread Gnostic Chrtian books I expect it woud be similar to what I read back in the 70s and 80s. It is all tgh same stuff packed as something different.

Back in the 80s somebody I worked with paid for a weknd retreat pipular on the west coast in the day, I forget th name. Before he left I told him I coud save him some money and I;d tell him what he woud hear, which I did.

When he got back I was pretty close. Form versus content. Form changes with religion but the underlying principles are always are similar. There is an undelying psychology to relgion, as Jemas pointed out in Varieties Of Relgious Experince.

That's not quite an answer to my question, is it? Criticizing an entire religion or philosophical school for having books for sale is absurd. Ours is a capitalist society; if something is important to anyone, to any degree, it has a damn price tag on it.
 
As I always say there are positives and negatives to regions. At some level all human social structures are about power and self preservation. Exploitation for profit.

It is all the same to me.

On the contrary I am not besmirching an entire religion, what I argue with Gnostic Bishop is his claim of a Gnostic Christianity moral superiority. His main argument is Gnostic Christians speak out against genocide, therefore Gnostic Christianity is superior to the 'genpoicdal Christians', yet provides no actual examples over the last 200 years. On the contrary comflicts are about nationalism, tribalism, and ethnocity far more than religion. Witness Ukraine.

I suspect Gnostic Bishop is basing his rhetoric, or evangelizing, on one or two authors.

It is Gnostic Bishop who is defaming an entire class of religions.

Routinely, but there's no need to imitate the man.

I don't think our Bishop has read very much, though? He seems to base his worldview on some personal apotheosis he had.
