If you can't comprehend that, I guess we are done. Ok, we're done.Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

quote: I very much doubt that “no Gnostic Christian sect” ever followed that scripture. In fact it looks like the usual excuse to give the leaders sexual access to the wives of their followers. However, that is a secondary concern. The text says what it says, independent of whether any Gnostic Christian sect actually followed it. Even if it were only to be implemented in “heaven” you could defend it on that basis. But you do not defend what it says. Indeed, since the text is about “wives” it cannot possibly refer to a situation where there is no marriage. If there is no marriage in “heaven” then the text obviously is not talking about “heaven”.

Except for your composure, coherence and spelling you're doing great. Maybe you should change your name to just "I am", though some might consider it presumptuous. --Percy

I was curious what you meant so I looked it up on Websters.
Websters writes: Definition of Naassene : a member of one of the Ophite group of Gnostic sects noted for its worship of the serpent as the principle of generation I wonder if that's nearly as bad as "worshiping" the serpent in Genesis for "telling the truth"? ![]() The true Greatest I AM is and was Jesus Christ Himself."A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You

It has been a while. On the real hero of the bible, the serpent/Satan, you likely know that it was the emblem of the priest class of Judaism and it was also used by Moses himself on his staff. The medical of the day also used the serpent emblem. In the myth, without Satan, there would be no story, as we would never have gotten out of Eden to reproduce. Christians sing of Adam's sin being a happy fault and necessary to god's plan, and that make Satan key to the whole story. That is why Jews se Eden as where man showed Original Virtue. Christianity when with Original Sin. What do you get from Eden? A success for man or a failure? RegardsDL

I do not think any Gnostic Christian worships anything or anyone, as that would be idol worship. We are perpetual seekers and never idol worship. RegardsDL

Why do you give Jesus the title of Christ? He was never anointed to Christ status. Prove me wrong. RegardsDL

GIA writes: The one figure in all of human history who would by nature define Christ status is challenged by a fleshly and fallible gnostic. Why do you give Jesus the title of Christ? He was never anointed to Christ status. Prove me wrong.![]() I can prove you wrong right now if you name a short list of those who HAVE attained Christ status. If you include yourself on the Christ status list, we will all have confirmation that you are wrong. I know im not on the list, and I daresay that Muhammed, Krishna, and Buddha were no closer than Jesus was. So who is on this list???"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
