GNOSIS vs. ORTHODOXY
by Admin on Tue Nov 27, 2007 10:57 am
Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed from lack of Knowledge (Gnosis). Because you have rejected Knowledge (Gnosis), I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children."
Prov 1:22 "How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate Knowledge (Gnosis)?"
Matt 13:10-11 "The disciples came to him and asked, 'Why do you speak to the people in parables?' He replied, 'The Knowledge ('Gnosis') of the Secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven has been given to you, but not to them'."
Luke 11:52 "Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the Key to Knowledge (Gnosis). You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”
Matt 23:27-36 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers! You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth... I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation."
Romans 10:2 "For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on Knowledge (Gnosis)."
Romans 1:28-32 "Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the Knowledge (Gnosis) of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."
What can I add to these perfect explanations of the TRUTH of Gnosis, and the evils of orthodoxy?
