Hi, I'm a returning Gnostic Christian to this forum hoping this time I can express my Gnostic Christian views without having to dodge the perennial charge of "proselytizing" whenever I post a different Christianity than what Pauline Christians think Christianity is. We'll see how far I get this time around as I try to impart some rather astonishing new spiritual information about the roots of the Messiah-Christ-Anointed One concept showing it originating far earlier than the Abrahamic religions, at least 2000 years before the time of Christ and the Gospels. But before getting to the new Good News for Gnostic Christians I should give a little personal history of my own Gnostic Christian walk so you'll know a little better where the radical Gnostic ideas I will be sharing come from.
I'm probably older than most of you here and have been on a sort of modern form of Gnostic Christianity since I went through my own personal "Road to Damascus" religious conversion experience 33 years ago at Easter, in 1979 that lasted, like Paul's, for three days and converted me from atheism to lasting belief in God and the Spirit of Christ. For the past 33 years I have been getting spiritual visions and revelations periodically and the major ones I have acted on them, seeing results that were quite astounding. Anyway, that's for later, here I just wanted you to know I'm one of those awful people chased off religious talkboards with great frequency who dare claim spiritual visions and worse dare to post their personal Gnosis on these internet religious forums where very few really want to hear anything new, especially if it counters the religious beliefs held like a security blanket for emotional protection. Just saying I can't guarantee any discussion I start I will be able to join in or even if the discussion will be allowed to stay posted on this forum.
Like many a Gnostic I too follow what's called the Gnostic Solitary Path which disallows me ever proselytizing my personal religious beliefs. I have no church for anyone to join, no book to sell although I do have a free one holding all my 33 years Gnostic visionary experiences and new Christian information that anyone can read online. What I've got now is actually plain old pure historical information freely available to anyone that I just arranged in historical order showing a pattern that moves down through the millennia bearing the Spirit of Christ information, moving from Sumeria and ancient Egypt into the later Abrahamic religions which butchered it under Judaism and crippled it under Pauline Christianity.
God put me on the Gnostic Christian path 33 years ago like I said, and in 1980, when the Nag Hammadi Library was first published in English I learned that the very untraditional religious belief system God had me enter was indeed a form of Gnosis, a modern form, like Carl Jung's was a modern form of Gnosis. I shared the basic themes of Gnosticism except for some significant differences such as tossing out all the old Gnostic syzygies as too incomprehensible for describing what is basically a diagram of spiritual evolutionary ideas presented similar to dna syzygy couplings in form but too complicated to impart much real spiritually needed info. Of the old Gnostic Gospels, only the Gospel of Thomas, and the Gospel of Philip held my allegiance. Also, I never went for the old Gnostic view of the material world being a mistaken botch job by a foolish Maker god and then in 1998, I found Jesus' "Abba" and it changed everything as it anchored my belief that God, the true God Most High, created a good world, well, as good as it gets that is, since Creation runs on dualities, positive and negative charges of electrons all the way up to life and death of organisms. I will get to the EL Elyon news too. But this is a start for me for now.
