The Book of Baruch

The Book of Baruch, by Justin and
The Round Dance of the Cross

These are not books commonly mentioned, (that I know of) so i think they deserve a little recognition. *smiles* Okay, so the Book of Baruch is where I get my belief for the creation story. It has an oath in it. It says not to repeat the oath and that there are sectrets that come from reciting the oath. Does anyone have a clue who is supposed to be listening to the oath taken? Is it just between you and your deity?

The Round Dance of the Cross also puzzles me. It reminds me of the book Thunder because of its contradictory statements. Yeshua explains his reasons for the dance, the circle, and even talks about his death... (allegorically or not... your own opinion) I just thought this was a good quote to have... even if i'm not supposed to tell anyone about this stuff...

"Understand everything, and when you have understood, declare, Glory to you, father. Amen." ~ Think that's important to think on every once in a while...

The Lost One
Isn't this book from the Apocrypha collection?

In any case, I have not read this book. I will try to find time to read it. But I can tell right now that I don't understand the stuffs you've mentioned.

Hey Buttons, where have you gotten these books, or information about them? I think it would be interesting to read them.

WELL, The Gnostic Bible has all of the (gnostic) scripture in it, but it can be a really hard transition to make if you dont understand mystic concepts. The "Gnostic Gospels of Jesus" by Mervin Meyer is a really great book for introducing it on a Christian Gnostic perspective.
