............But I have changed my Religious "affilliation" to Gnosticism.

As a Christ follower, i respect the Gnostic points to recognize God in all things, yet the Christ-i-am point bit unsure on....;)

Hi Michel

That is very good news. But I don't quite understand exactly what you mean by 'religious affiliation'. You see genuine Gnosticism is not a 'religion' (in the common sense of the word), and the word affiliation is also rather strange. I understand a genuine Gnostic (as opposed to a 'pseudo-gnostic') to be one who has actually discovers the Mystic Knowledge of God, and experiences, 'first-hand', the very Vision and Voice of God within. The true Gnostic way is a solitary road (no church congregations, and much persecution) - although God will always be with you.

Is this what you are saying, or do you mean that you are joining some so-called Gnostic hierarchical church, i.e. another religion?

Peace & Love :)

From Michaels previous posts his has always been a solitary path to God.
Gnosticism would seem to cover that very well.

I think the change is appropos, michel. It seems to be a better fit for you than just Christianity.

Good luck Michel, it takes alot of courage to make a change like this

your

is very much "where I am at," and have been for a long time.

You hit the nail on the head Terry.:)

Sorry Rob, I am being wisked off; maybe Halcyon, and plenty of others lately. I will answer this in full when I have time
