anyone want to share about gnostics.

I'm in search for the truth too, but this belief wiped many of all my confusions as a Christian.
It's not that I'm not a christian anymore, I'm still a Christian and thankful i became one,
without me being a christian, it would be difficult for me to grasp this knowledge.

Gnostics does not change you, it moves you to another level in search for the truth.

anyway. here is a breif discussion about gnostics.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism --> and a wiki site, lol.

the Secret Book of John is a sacred text intended to be shared only with individuals properly prepared to receive its revelation.

http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/apocjn.html --> Apocryphon of John. Secret teachings of Jesus to John, his disciple.

it moves you another level, lower level.
Because it will lead you to all doubts, I think that's what happened to DA VINCI CODE.
It will lead you to malicious mind that will think and interpret which is not the actual event or intention.
We can't deny the fact that there are GNOSTIC gospel and it was written during or even before Christ.
But it was said by Paul:

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:8-9

Peace!

Like any living things, thoughts, knowledge,... the gospels were also subjected to the 'survival of the fittest syndrome'. Only time will tell if the gospels we have now are really 'the' truth, and nothing is truer.

Yes its only time can tell and it will be during judgment.
What if we're wrong can we blame God or have an excuse that "I thought/abi gud nako"?

Peace!

So man burns in hell for eternity just because of his "I thought/abi gud nako" mentality.
That's the reason why religion is bull crap. The god of religion should grow up, man has long caught up with his 5-year-old-child temperament.

Yes its only time can tell and it will be during judgment.

If The God is omnipotent, the creator of everything, all-encompassing, without beginning and end, etc..., then what is judgement of the puny humans for? It is just an insult to His Almightiness.
This judgement business makes one think that He is just playing in the minor league, that there's a bigger game being played out there.

That's what the bible said:
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Matthew 15:14

and Christ word:
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33

Dili man siya full of crap bro, diba naa kay panahon nga nialagad ka sa inyo church or felllowship pero ngano dili nimo ialagad ang imo pagtuo og kalag ngadto sa tinuod nga naa sa biblia.

No He's not playing but He's giving justice to those who follow and for those who not.
Judgment is a reward for all our works, either evil or good.
Its not an insult to Him, Many obeyed God and Many doesn't.
He's delight is in the people who fear and Love Him.

Peace!

Even if man's sins are bigger than him, burning him for eternity is simply unjust and beyond comprehension, according to worldly standards of justice, logic and compassion. Well, let's just say that it must be heavenly, eh?
It doesn't even serve God's purpose, did it? But it perfectly serves the purpose of people or organizations who want to be God! It did, and still does now!

Peace...

But you need to consider the two types of sins.
And also the timing of our sins.
SIns after the baptism or acceptance of Gospel and Sins before the baptism or acceptance of the Gospel.

Well, let's just say that it must be heavenly, eh?
It doesn't even serve God's purpose, did it? But it perfectly serves the purpose of people or organizations who want to be God! It did, and still does now!
Peace...

It serve bro if you committed it because you didn't know that there's a bible or God and doing sins which you already know that there's God and Bible.
If you have fear in God you will never think to be as God, its only Satan who want to be equal with God. If you fear God you will consider yourselves a sevants and servants is not Greater than Master.

Peace!

What does Gnosticism mean? Plain and simple…it means rebelling against and breaking free of the conformity set forth to us by religious dogma. That same Dogma that, for centuries, has instilled unbelievable fear and guilt upon the masses. It means dispelling all the fear based untruths about God and our eternal Souls by bringing reasoning and intelligence into the equation

Gnosticism has been linked to the New Age movement. This so-called New Age movement isn’t so new. In fact, it is older than time. Gnosticism was around long before the time of Buddha or the time of Jesus, and it came about way before the Old Testament. The whole world believed in it, totally and completely--we have had many lives.
