RE: My Formal Introduction To Steemit Community
Oh, yes, Philip, I've long considered Christian Gnosticism ( not to be confused with Judaic Gnosticism) as being a more coherent view of the Kristo's, but there are problems with that, too; namely, even a Gnostic Jesus who wasn't born of a Virgin, or die on the cross for sin had to have existed as a human! And, there is mounting evidence no such person existed, period........It wouldn't necessarily mean Gnosticism isn't true, but would really muddy the waters as far as trying to figure out the who of all these shenanigans.....
A longtime Christian friend of mine showed up last year claiming Alpha-Draconian lizards and Grey aliens are responsible for all this religious madness (control mechanisms....
Let's not say mounting evidence. I would be more inclined to say overwhelming evidence is that the Gospel records are complete and total fabrication out of Rome. There is an interesting book which I have not read – called “Cesars Christ” which aligns the ministry of Jesus with the intinerary of Titus when he came and conquered Jerusalem.
You can really begin to see into Roman history from their point of view . The way it really it was back then. Christians view the Roman times through the Gospels… they make the categorical error of assumimg it is an accurate historical record.
The reality is Roman had a problem with the Judeans who would not bow their knees to them so they had the Romanized Jew --- Josephus—totally connected on the inside aristocracy of Rome to put together a story. We are constantly being fed stories by the FakeNews network , right. The doctrine of eternal torment—let’s keep them in fear Ecclesiastis says: “There is nothing new under the sun.” It’s same old, same old, same old.” The question is how do we get off the fucking merry-go-round.
Gnosticism is about direct experience with the cosmoslogical Chrsit... who is seated at the right-hand of the Most High. Churches can screw up your thinking but you just can't through the baby out with the bath water. You'll just have to follow my next post. Our authority is truth... wherewe find it, Light exposes darkness,
Okay, I'll bite as long as everyone understands that my positions on these topics are always framed as metaphysical speculation and not as assertions of spiritual fact.
Do we imagine that God is an amputee? I think not! What, then, sits at the left hand of God?
I would argue Sophia! The 'nothingness/ground of all being' first brought into existence duality: the male and female principle! The Logos (male) and wisdom (female/Sophia). aka: Jesus and *Sophia--The two original Gnostic Aeons.
Of course, "somewhere along the line something went wrong and I swore I heard an angel singing a mournful song" (copywrite@andrewmarkmusic:)
But that's a whole other post to do with the problem of evil (theodicy).
It's clear that some Jews were equally involved in establishing Roman canon. My bet is they were involved with the creation of Islam, too....(again, another post).
The situation is obviously complex. My bet is that this is where the idea of Lucy/fer comes from......
