    Do you love God?

    I love God; all the time God is on my mind to understand his connection to me and my connection to others with God being their. I contemplate on God everyday. Sometimes my actions, feelings and thoughts might not reflect it but at the end of the day God is on my mind. If I didnt love God I...

    Is the Concept of God Necessary To Explain Anything?

    Atheism by definition is the belief that there is no God(s). Modern day atheism is basing that on some scientific evidence of what we observe through electrical signals interpreted by our brains. Inevitably we see what we want to our subjectivity gets in the way of the objectivity. So therefore...

    In what religion is god flawed?

    "That is the way it is in the world - men make gods and worship their creation. It would be fitting for the gods to worship men!"- Gospel of Phillip Excerpt "He is the invisible Spirit, of whom it is not right to think of him as a god, or something similar. For he is more than a god, since...

    Plato a Gnostic?

    Well, I don't think so... To be honest Im not sure where that came from... Maybe it was from any earlier post in this thread.

    Fellow Gnostics

    Well it will be inevitable that we will all become aware of our Gnostic Heritage and become free.

    What does Esotericism mean to you?

    Imagine the following: A circle, this circle represents exoteric religion. Now imagine a circle inside that circle, this is esoteric religion. Simple as that, it goes beyond simple dogma and doctrine and focuses on the experience. Now imagine a point on the outside circle with a line to the...

    Plato a Gnostic?

    Literalism and fundamentalism is what the faith of Gnosticism is definitely against. The world can only accept the truth in forms and images any other way is impossible, what a fundamentalist and literalist will do is is look at the form and image and say thats truth when its only a...

    In the realm of Logic and Critical Thinking isnt Inductive Argument an Invalid argument? Invalid arguments mean that the premises are true, but the conclusion is false. Most Invalid arguments are also called fallacies. So quite essentially you just made science sound like a false notion thus...

    In what religion is god flawed?

    I beg to differ, in Gnosticism The Demiurge is the being who demands Lordship, Worship and Appeasement. However, the God above God says your home is in the fullness and to worship is stupid, in Gnosticism you worship God with your life not bowing down and all that stuff. What do I mean by...

    Is the Concept of God Necessary To Explain Anything?

    You know there is a difference between KNOWING and BELIEVING. Agnosticism says we don't KNOW and Gnosticism says we CAN KNOW. Faith is still part of knowing, knowing that your part of a plan and having faith in that plan. Atheism does not exist its called Strong Agnosticism or a strong view that...

    Plato a Gnostic?

    Right well the Gnostic takes it a step further. Gnostic's don't necessarily have to believe the myth was real, if it makes it easier for you than go ahead but its optional to me I'm sure some maybe true others not so much... Obviously I believe in God and I believe in a Demiurge there both...

    Is the Concept of God Necessary To Explain Anything?

    Well according to the Gnostic myth... God goes mad when it loses Sophia (wisdom) and falls to a lesser God (The Demiurge) and under the Demiurge control we are made to forget who we are and where we came from until (In Christian Gnosticism at least) Christ Came Down to remind us of our true home...

    In what religion is god flawed?

    Thats the problem with Dogma and Doctrine, it makes it official, final and exclusive. What we need is an inclusive, loose to hypothesis which is based on experience and a fluid definition of what God is. Like I say (and I feel like a broken record) "Many People, Many Ways Back to God and Many...

    In what religion is god flawed?

    Yes of course, all religions do that the minute you institutionalize religious experiences. The minute you make dogma and doctrine that is when you make God look like something God is not.

    Is the Concept of God Necessary To Explain Anything?

    Atheism is as old as theism there were those who believed in no deity but still thought spiritually. So to be an atheist isn't as bad as some think. Theres a difference between Materialist Atheist V. Spiritualist Atheist. We seem to associate the need for a God in order for anything spiritual at...
