Are God and His works perfect? I do not believe in the conventional God of scripture but regardless of this fact, I believe that we live in a perfect environment and evolving system. There is biblical support for this view as well in this. Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: Many believe that this perfection was destroyed by man in Genesis. How perfection can make imperfect choices is beyond me but most think that Genesis was the fall of man. ...

In discussions with those who read scripture literally, they tell me that God has an actual body the same way we do. When scripture says, God spoke, He actually spoke in sounds that we would hear. When He walked with Adam, He would have shown tracks and all. He could splash around in the water. This inevitably leads to the use of God’s body parts and the parts that few speak about, you know, the more dirty parts, and functions of these parts. Teeth, lips, penis, anus and ...

Has any one purchased and listened to the Gnostic Lectures from Stephan Hoeller? If so, are they worth the price?

I listened to the free lectures and found them interesting and somewhat enlightening. Just seems a little pricey for the whole series.

Thanks,

According to the Sophia Myth: All the Aeons together were concerned about the appearance of Chaos and so they, with the divine Sophia, prayed in depth and a new dyad was manifested: Christos and the Holy Spirit, his female counterpart. In other texts I find Christos and Sophia are counterparts and emanated much earlier in the creation myth, directly from the Fore-Creator? Can anyone shed light on this?

I use scripture, personal experience and other sources to find questions or hypotheses and then look to the world and others to confirm what I suspect. As part of this search, I have uncovered some interesting concepts that merit further investigation. In the Pistis Sophia, Yehosua asks his Disciples to decode messages in the form of the Repentance of Pistis Sophia. It occurred to me that there may be more to this than one first expects. ...
