On January 23rd the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present an essay "The Jesus Myth" - Christianity's only hope -- which will be a counter argument to the evangelical Christian position that the so-called Jesus Myth based on the Naassene Document, a 1st or 2nd century Gnostic Christian scripture, presenting Jesus as the last of a recurring cycle of dieing Pagan Gods resurrected by Pagan Goddesses such as: Tammuz and Ishtar, Osiris and Isis, Baal and Astarte, Venus and Adonis, ctc., culminating in Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The fundamentalists contend that this idea undermines the historical Jesus (they reinforce this by mixing in other Gnostic Christian views that Jesus did not die on the cross, which was not a part of the original Naassene proposition.)     As Valentinian Gnostic Rosicrucians, we contend that the Jesus Myth as set forth in the Naassene Document is not only valid as scripture, but that it represents Christianity's only hope of survival against its awful record, both Orthodox and Protestant,of exploitation, prejudicial persecution, hypocrisy and patriarchalism. So tune and help us defend our tradition. Music Credits: Opening: Seian by Ali Kesanto Closing: Sneaking Around the Mansion by John Abbot

This is a selection of "Sayings of Jesus" from the gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas (translated by Stephen J. Patterson and James M. Robinson) plus a few other selections of Jesus' key teachings from other gospels. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-topics/bible-versions-and-translations/the-gospel-of-thomas-114-sayings-of-jesus/ Here's the link to various other translations: http://gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is a non-canonical sayings gospel. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. Scholars speculate that the works were buried in response to a letter from Bishop Athanasius declaring a strict canon of Christian scripture. Scholars have proposed dates of composition as early as AD 60 and as late as AD 140. The Coptic-language text, the second of seven contained in what modern-day scholars have designated as Codex II, is composed of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus. In the Gnostic Christian tradition, Christ is seen as a divine being which has taken human form in order to lead humanity back to the Light. The usual meaning of gnostikos in Classical Greek texts is "learned" or "intellectual". Art image - "Ground" by Dan Hillier used with kind permission of the artist.

Subjected to more criticism than any other book now incorporated in the New Testament, the Apocalypse -- popularly accredited to St. John the Divine -- is by far the most important but least understood of the Gnostic Christian writings. Though Justin Martyr declared the Book of Revelation to have been written by "John, one of Christ's apostles," its authorship was disputed as early as the second century after Christ. In the third century these contentions became acute and even Dionysius of Alexandria and Eusebius attacked the Johannine theory, declaring that both the Book of Revelation and the Gospel according to St. John were written by one Cerinthus, who borrowed the name of the great apostle the better to foist his own doctrines upon the Christians. Later Jerome questioned the authorship of the Apocalypse and during the Reformation his objections were revived by Luther and Erasmus. The once generally accepted notion that the Book of Revelation was the actual record of a "mystical experience" occurring to St. John while that seer was an exile in the Isle of Parmos is now regarded with disfavor by more critical scholars. Other explanations have therefore been advanced to account for the symbolism permeating the volume and the original motive for its writing. The more reasonable of these theories may be summed up as follows: First, upon the weight of evidence furnished by its own contents the Book of Revelation may well be pronounced a pagan writing -- one of the sacred books of the Eleusinian or Phrygian Mysteries. As a corollary, the real author of a work setting forth the profundities of Egyptian and Greek mysticism must have been an initiate himself and consequently obligated to write only in the symbolic language of the Mysteries. Second, it is possible that the Book of Revelation was written to reconcile the seeming discrepancies between the early Christian and pagan religious philosophies. When the zealots of the primitive Christian Church sought to Christianize pagandom, the pagan initiates retorted with a powerful effort to paganize Christianity. The Christians failed but the pagans succeeded. With the decline of paganism the initiated pagan hierophants transferred their base of operations to the new vehicle of primitive Christianity, adopting the symbols of the new cult to conceal those eternal verities which are ever the priceless possession of the wise.

It's time for another episode in the fairytales in focus series and this week the dragons are delving into one of the best known and (inexplicably?) best beloved. The tale of the Sleeping Beauty has gone through many permutations over the centuries and most likely has an oral tradition that was even older. It has been co-opted by Medieval Romantic poetry, pops up in Norse sagas, and was even used as code for aspects of Gnostic Christian movements. So what is it about this story which is so enduring? Is it the cursed child theme? The political coding in some versions? Or does it resonate with something even deeper? Find out in this weeks extended episode.

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP382 The Apocryphon of John, is a Gnostic text found among the Nag Hammadi library, a collection of ancient Gnostic texts discovered in Egypt in 1945. The Apocryphon of John is attributed to John the Apostle but is considered to be a product of early Gnostic Christian communities. This text presents a unique cosmological and theological perspective, and the following focuses on "The Four Luminaries." The Self-Conceived God and the Anointed: The passage begins by describing the source of the luminaries as the "self-conceived god" and the "anointed." The "anointed" likely refers to Christ, who is associated with light and divinity in various Christian traditions. The Three Beings: The three beings mentioned are identified as will, thought, and life. These are fundamental aspects of divine existence in the Gnostic cosmology. Will: Represents the divine will or intention. Thought: Represents divine intellect or wisdom. Life: Represents the essence of divine life. The Four Powers: The four powers are understanding, grace, perception, and thoughtfulness. These powers emanate from the divine and contribute to the order and structure of the created world. The Four Luminaries and Twelve Eternal Realms: The luminaries are spiritual entities associated with different realms, and each luminary has three accompanying realms. Here's a breakdown: Harmozel (First Luminary): Eternal Realms: Grace, Truth, Form. Oroiael (Second Luminary): Eternal Realms: Afterthought, Perception, Memory. Daveithai (Third Luminary): Eternal Realms: Understanding, Love, Idea. Eleleth (Fourth Luminary): Eternal Realms: Perfection, Peace, Sophia. These luminaries and realms collectively stand before the "self-conceived god," indicating their divine order and connection to the ultimate source. The Holy Spirit and Divine Will: The passage concludes by mentioning that everything, including the establishment of the realms and luminaries, was done by the will of the Holy Spirit (Mother) through the self-conceived one (Father). This emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit (Mother) in the divine creative process. In summary, this passage from the Apocryphon of John outlines a Gnostic cosmology, detailing the emanation of luminaries and eternal realms from the self-conceived god, with a focus on the qualities and powers associated with each luminary.

It's as-if those who composed the Gospel of John decided to create a hymnbook. This is about the little-known discovery of a collection of early Christian psalms called, The Book of the Odes, written in Syriac-Aramaic, described by scholars as "some of the most beautiful songs of peace and joy that the world possesses." The Odes got mislabeled, misfiled, misunderstood, misplaced somewhere along the way becoming one of those Lost Books of the Bible. Time to explore this would-be book of New Testament psalms and that is finally gaining long overdue recognition and popularity in the 21st Century. This is one of two podcasts I've devoted to this inspiring collection of mystic-poems  and music -- The Odes of Solomon -- once viewed as a sacred text by Jewish Christians, Syriac Eastern Christianity, various Gnostic movements -- it's quoted in Pistis Sophia -- and other early Christian writings.  (Lost Books of the Bible)   References, Subjects, and Sources Include    Hymns, Psalms, Odes of Solomon, New Testament, Book of the Odes, New Testament Psalms, A New New Testament, Extra Canonical, Scriptures, Lost Books of the Bible, Bible, Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, Gnostic Scriptures, Early Christianity, Jesus Movement, Early Church, Christianity, Restoration, Gospel of John, Logos, The Word, Syriac, Aramaic, Greek, Coptic, Antioch, Syria, John Community, Johannite, Lectio Divina, Contemplation, Meditation, Sant Mat Radhasoami, Santmat, Sant Mat, Radhasoami, Radhaswami, Satsang,  Essenes, Ebionites, Gnosticism, Mystics, Religion, Mystic Poetry, Spirituality, Spiritual Podcasts, Spiritual Radio, Spiritual Seekers, Search For God, Cloud of Unknowing, Metaphysical Meditations, Paramahansa Yogananda, Confessions of Jacob Boehme, Saint John of the Cross, Nag Hammadi Library, Pistis Sophia, Egypt;   In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, James Bean Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcasts Sant Mat Satsang Podcasts Sant Mat Radhasoami A Satsang Without Walls Spiritual Awakening Radio Website: https://www.SpiritualAwakeningRadio.com    

In this intriguing episode, Taymour Elalfy joins Aba Al-Sadiq (From Him Is Peace) to delve into the concept of purity in religion, both in its physical and spiritual dimensions. The discussion encompasses states of religious purity, ritual impurity, and their implications in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Exploring notions such as the ritual impurity associated with contact with certain animals and the restrictions placed on menstruating women, the conversation provides valuable insights into religious practices. The episode further touches upon how non-believers are viewed in terms of ritual purity and its resonance in the story of Jesus and the Canaanite woman. By establishing the existence of impurities, the conversation naturally leads to the consideration of purifying elements, drawing from the scriptures of Christianity and Islam. Examples include the use of saliva by prophets for healing and the sanctity attributed to their bodily emissions. Additionally, this episode uncovers buried accounts from Gnostic Christian sources, deliberately omitted by church authorities. These texts reveal that some early Christians practiced a form of communion based on their secret gospels, portraying a Jesus vastly different from mainstream narratives. Buckle your seat belts for a wild ride through the uncharted territories of ancient Christian traditions! And find you the teaching that made the disciples themselves shake to their very core. Join us for an enlightening exploration that sheds light on the intricate dynamics of purity and impurity in religious contexts.

Faction Cannot Prevail (8)   (audio)   David Eells – 8/2/23  Impostor Seducer Anonymous – 7/25/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamed this man came over leading another man and around 4 women that came and sat in the lake with us. (The lake represented peoples as in scripture in Revelations.) The leader man sat next to David and was acting to David as if he was best friends and acting so very friendly. (Kevin C. Rea did act this way. He was always an impostor seducing people to think he was a good person. For years he fell into every faction that came by to prove he was not.)  As soon as I looked in the leader man's eyes, I saw demons of sexual lust and perversion. (The dreams of our men and women especially, proved this and they were fulfilled in his actions, but we treated him with love and did our best to help him change.)   His “personality” was like a salesperson that has much self-confidence and uses flattery and nice words to trick people to like him and to listen to him. He was that kind of person. (Yes, this is Kevin, he is selling himself as someone he isn't, but the dreamer did not know him and when witchcraft and perversion was added to him because of this he used it to seduce women and a man.) I didn't feel I could trust him at all, and he didn't seem genuine, but it was like he had many faces that he would hide behind. (But this man was the type of man that many people were attracted to because of his false “qualities” which were just acting.)   David and Michael were genuine and kind to this man like they are with everyone, but they seemed to be weary also. (True) The leader man just talked so much as if he was with the UBM and as if he was really important and he had much pride. It was made known that the man with him was a close friend of his and he constantly stayed next to him shoulder to shoulder agreeing with everything he said. (This is Eddie Brast.) It seemed like he was in love with him. (This is true. He believed every lie Kevin told him and dreams and actions proved this was a bisexual relationship. The leader always hung out and spoke to the factious bisexuals and homosexuals from earlier factions.) But the 4 women had just met these guys at the lake.   The leader man then went and got these printed papers and they were stapled together. He handed out one each to all of us except Michael and David. I quickly skimmed through it, and it was basically all these pictures and words trying to convince the reader that this leader man is an awesome man and if you follow him and be friends with him, he will give you whatever you want or desire. But everything in there was highly sugar coated and naturally it looked innocent and good but what was really behind it was evil.  (He is controlled by seducing acting demons and witchcraft. He is putting on a show.) I overheard the 4-women saying they love it and a few of them desperately desired a husband and they thought they would get a husband from this. They thought everything would be perfect and they literally fell in love with this man just from reading these things. (This is a spirit of seduction and lust that he put on the women.)   I knew this whole thing was wrong and it was like a scam, so I went and asked this leader man a bunch of innocent questions relating to this book thing. All I did was ask questions, but his own answers basically exposed himself and his evil corrupt intentions. His evil was brought into the light from his own words in front of everyone there. He was then embarrassed about his sins being exposed in front of Michael and David and he told the others to follow him, and he quickly left without saying goodbye. (This is exactly what happened when he was revealed to our body.) The other man and the 4-women left with him. So, it was just us with Michael and David again. They were amazed that the man exposed himself and it confirmed the actions that the rumors had said about him. I then understood that that was the man the other Brethren were warning us about.       Word   Anonymous 7/29/23  A word from the Lord, "Eve is to experience this path and trial. This is a teaching to help her learn and overcome. Much of the path taken is to show in a real demonstration of how vile this faction spirit is. Not only for her and her children, but for others who know and see where and what she has, and is currently going through.   The release and final conclusion where she will be able to come back, will occur. This will be the removal of Kevin and Eddie. (note: I then saw them both falling to the ground, while clutching their chests, as having a fatal heart attack. It was like a red lightning bolt went through them both at the same time. I know it was an Arch Angel, sent with power and authority, unstoppable might!) (The bolt of lightning could be the sign of judgement from God, but the physical death could be caused by the clot shot or the same poison in chemtrails, which often takes out the heart. I say this because we have other dreams about Eddie dying from snake poison coming upon him. This has been administered by clot shot and from chemtrails.)  It is here, Eve will be able to walk free from shackles and torment. Only from the final conclusive event that will occur. Pray for all of their souls. Do not rejoice. Have sorrow for all. I'm in suffering for each of them.   My dearest David, for you, I am with you in the physical and spirit. I know you anguish and desire for her and all the captives to be set free. Yet, this is a purification process for each. For you, especially, to trust Me implicitly and absolutely without any holding onto or second guessing. Have you any other options but My decision? It will come to pass and the time and understanding on what ensued it, not thought about. We will all celebrate together. Be assured completely. I have made a way."      Freeing The Children Of God   Anonymous 2021 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt that I was standing in the lounge room of a man's house that I didn't know. The house was on a big property, and it had a large driveway and there was much space between the entrance of the property and the house. (This is representing the house of the satanists who have God's people captive.) Behind the house was a yard but behind that was all bush like a national park. The whole property was fenced.  (Representing captivity) I went inside the house to get something, although I don't know what, and there were two men and a woman that lived there. (This is Kevin, Eddie and Eve in the spiritual house.) One man was the only one here right now and he went into a separate room to grab the item I was here for. (They were there for the children of God that were seduced with their slander and witchcraft holding them in captivity.)   I sensed something not right in the spirit about this place. I looked around the room and I saw what looked like a red cupboard door behind me. I walked over to it and opened it and I saw a yellow slide that went around in a circle leading down to the basement. (Yellow represents danger, hidden beneath the surface of their seductive smiles was captivity.) I slid down on the slide and landed in the basement where there were around a hundred children all crowded together. (Representing the children of God held captive by their demons.) There was barely any room between them, and they were all different ages (Spiritually speaking) from babies to young teenagers, boys and girls.   They didn't know who I was, and they never said anything to me but I knew this was wrong. I just felt in my spirit that these children didn't belong to these people, and they had been kidnaped and used for evil. I picked up two of the young children and I told the other children to pick up younger children and I told them to all follow me and I will take them away from this place.   There was a window that led out of the basement, and I opened it and helped all the children get out of it. (The window could represent the “open window to heaven” that we have to the Father's throne of grace.) I was surprised that the children hadn't gone out the window themselves or tried to escape. To my shock when all the children were led out, they were all just standing there. I had expected them to have run off away from this place and to be rejoicing in their freedom. (The faction uses satanic brainwashing, slandering the righteous, telling them lies, mind control, manipulation, fear and threats to keep them in bondage.)   I told them all to follow me as quickly as they can and to run to the gate. Many toddler boys ran ahead of me towards the gate, some children walked or ran around me but many were still behind me. I kept encouraging all the children to keep walking as fast as they can and kept telling them that they will be going to a better place.  (I am sure much of this will be done through warfare and prayers of faith.) It was a long walk to get to the front gate. As I walked, I turned around and I could still see the house, I saw the two men and the woman standing on the deck and they were watching all of us. I thought they would run after us, but I heard them calling out to the children to come back. (Through witchcraft curses.)   Some of the children seemed to be confused whether to listen to me or the people back at the house. Some of the children were hesitant and stopped walking and I looked behind and asked them to keep walking and they didn't have to go back to that evil. A few of them looked at me but then turned back and walked to the house. (There is much confusion operating through the faction. These are spirits put on them through brainwashing, and confusion to keep them in captivity.)   I was still carrying babies and trying to encourage all the children to keep running towards the gate and not to look back. I was always calm and speaking in a gentle loving tone and I felt so much love for all of these children and I really wanted to protect them and get them to a safe place. However, so many more of them turned back and I was so confused about why they would want to go back. Maybe because they were not delivered from those spirits, and they were afraid to go somewhere they didn't know.   All the children, including the teens always had a neutral facial expression. They never said anything, and they didn't do anything without being told. (They are like a calf at a new gate.) They wouldn't climb out the window and walk to the gate unless I told them, it was like they couldn't do anything by their own will, but only by being instructed by someone else. (This is due to captivity to Kevin's ruling demons over their individual demons. They are lifeless, with a lack of love. We must continue to pray against the faction and their witchcraft, casting down all their plans of evil devices and curses over God's children. We must cast out witchcraft, voodoo, faction, criticism, lust, slander, and suspicion, demons from them. Distance does not matter.)   And they didn't go back to the house until they heard the voice from the people telling them to come back. It was very strange. (They have been conditioned and controlled with satanic ritual abuse and deception of slander.)   I just kept moving and encouraging the children to all keep walking and it was an easy walk to the gate. It was a little distance but there was nothing in the way. When we almost got to the gate I looked up to the sky and it was night, but I could see so many stars. But a giant strong wind started all around us and up above there were items flying around. I saw chairs and household items, leaves and many other random things flying high up in the sky from the strong winds and it felt as if a cyclone was close. (This could represent the war in the heavenlies as we do spiritual warfare against the enemy commanding the release of those in captivity. But satan and the faction have already been defeated for the elect's sake! We need to continue to sing praises to God and rejoice in the release of all those being held captive in deception!)   I told the children to all go through the gate, but I looked around and saw all the teenagers walking or running back to the house. I called out to them to please not go back because they don't deserve that evil. They didn't even look at me but kept going back to the house. (The older we are in the Lord the more responsible we are to go against our flesh, which is totally against their mindset. Also teenagers are more affected by the lure of sexual sins going on in this cult.) Most of the children that stayed with me and went through the gate were young babies around 5 years of age and some a little older. (Jesus said except you become as a child you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.)  We all then went through the gate and were all safe, but the majority of the children all went back to the house. (We were told that only a third of those who went into faction would return. These are the elect. Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of the heavens.   Isa 49:25 But thus saith Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.)   (This reminded me of the song: Enemy's Camp where we are to take back what the enemy stole from The Kingdom of Heaven.)   (An evil alliance of spiritual Edomites have come together to persecute Christians here and overseas. They will all go down as the Lord comes to judge them.)     Satanists Join Together to Murder Christians  The Catholic satanists with the help of JW spies have just bombed a funeral party in the Middle East killing Christians because they were converting people from their cult and eternal death.  Our first nasty email from a Catholic enforcer, probably a Jesuit, blamed their stabbing of our brethren to death, who did not resist them, on me because my books speak only the Bible truth and deliver their people from hell. So, he said they would do a black mass to kill me, which is witchcraft.  We just received the second nasty email from an enforcer of the Catholic religion bragging on the deaths in the Middle East and speaking of our own deaths in the local body very particularly.   The information could only have come from our satanist faction, who is guilty of those deaths by witchcraft, headed by Kevin C. Rea who hacks our phones and email and stalks our women. He uses witchcraft, voodoo, and faction to overcome the minds of our women so he can violate them. A practice common to satanists.   These two satanist groups have many things in common historically. They hate the scriptures and those who publish them. They both take advantage of women sexually and sacrifice children. In our case their children were sacrificed to bisexuality, satanism, and generally antichristian behavior, full of witchcraft and faction.  Operation Disclosure reported that the Alliance arrested many of the Cardinals and others, who were then tried and executed for molesting and sacrificing children. We were told the current pope is a look alike because he was prosecuted for the same thing and executed.  One search of the internet brings up the historic murder of multitudes of Christians by the Catholic Church. On the first page of the search there comes up these articles from which I briefly quote. Anyone can go to the same articles and many more to understand the full scope of these slaughters throughout their history.      How Many People Has the Catholic Church Killed?  https://churchreaders.com/how-many-people-has-the-catholic-church-killed/   “The Catholic Church is one of the most notorious and deadliest organizations in history. It has killed an estimated 1.2 billion people over its history, making it responsible for more deaths than any other institution. In addition to its murderous legacy, the Church has been accused of sexually abusing children and women for centuries.” (Note: This does not include all of the children of these murdered Christians who would have grown up to be Christians.)      Did the Roman Catholic Church Actually Persecute and Kill Other Christians?  https://www.christianforums.com/  Many today don't believe that the Roman Catholic church actually persecuted and killed other Christians and yet the record is clear it did.  Read on at this link to see the fuller story of the slaughter of multitudes of Christians by the Catholic Hierarchy:  “the Albigensians   the Bezirs   the Cathars   The Waldensians  The Spanish Inquisition   Hussites  Spanish Netherlands   Huguenots  30 years' war against the Protestants  This does not include the persecution and killing of the Jews … Jews were enslaved, their property confiscated, and their children forcibly baptized. … When the Crusades began, thousands of Jews were slaughtered all through Europe as they marched to the Holy Land … Jews were exterminated by them in England, Spain, France, Poland, Germany, Bavaria, Austria, etc.   ISIS/ISIL Muslim fanatics have nothing on the persecution of Christians by the Roman Catholic Church.”       Did Catholics Kill Christians?  https://www.answers.com/  “Unfortunately, yes. The Catholic Church was prepared to kill members of any Christian group that threated their monopoly on power. The bloodiest example was the slaughter of the Cathars, a Gnostic Christian sect in southern France during the Middle Ages.  In 1099, the First Crusade, established under papal authority, took Jerusalem and massacred the population, regardless of whether Muslim, Jewish or Christian, saying that God could decide their fate in the next life. The People's Crusade of 1096 attacked the Hungarian city of Semlin and burnt Belgrade, before being escorted across the Bosporus by Byzantine guides…  It is well known that the Catholic Church instituted a pogrom against those accused of witchcraft, eventually resulting in the torture and execution of thousands of innocent women. (These demons like the enforcers always accuse the Christians of doing what they themselves are doing.)  At first this could at least be justified by the superstition of the time. Gradually the inquisitions degenerated to the point that women were accused and executed so that their wealth could be seized, while in other cases they were allowed to go free in return for handing over property or for sexual favors. This is one of the saddest chapters in Catholic history.” (It seems they have graduated to molesting and sacrificing babies more today.)  The Catholic Church is A large part of the Harlot of Babylon. She is A mother of the harlot religions born from her, which are the traditional apostate protestant religions. The apple didn't fall far from the tree.  Rev 17:1-6 And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters; (I.e. Many peoples tribes and tongues. She is a harlot because she receives the seed of the world instead of Jesus.) 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication. (The political types always cater to the masses of duped religions.) 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast (The one world political beast), full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.   4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, (Her favorite colors) and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls (Rich beyond her needs, while her people starve.), having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication, (She will be and do anything you want if it pleases her flesh) 5 and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (She brought forth the harlot churches) 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints (She has murdered multitudes to hold her evil position), and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. (We have buried some of her martyred saints and of course it's our fault to them. Duh) And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder.  Rev 18:1-3 After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness.  23 and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth.   Rev 19:1-3 After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God: 2 for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever.  And now our satanist faction has joined with them and will receive of her plagues. They too are guilty of the blood of the saints.  I was raised a Catholic but left in my teen years. When I and my wife were later saved and started reading the Bible, we realized that we had been completely lied to about God. And that none of the people I knew in Catholicism knew, “You must be born again” and I witnessed that they were not by nature. It was a huge deception to keep people from the truth. My wife was almost a nun in her last year of training when she asked God if she was to come back the next year. He told her clearly “Get out of here and never come back”.   After she was saved and learned about the deception, she decided to go to a Catholic study to ask questions. When She brought up some of the history, the priest told her to “leave the skeletons in the closet.” If the root is rotten so is the tree.  She was dating two people at the time; one had studied to be a priest and then there was me who was to her a pagan :o) so she asked the Lord which one she would marry. To her shock He said, “David”. So, then she said, “Well you will have to save him” so He did, but not how she had expected. :o)  There is an exception to the rule in Catholicism. Some of the Catholic Charismatics are saved and filled with the Holy Spirit who is leading the elect out of the false traditions of men. My Mom was a catholic because she had that religious spirit connected to it. So being weak to the weak I took her to a Catholic Charismatic meeting and a nun in full habit locked eyes on her and came to ask her if she could speak with her in another room and she agreed so I went along. That nun was in disguise and preached the gospel to her straight as an arrow. LOL. It wasn't long after that, that she was reading the testimony books on my bookshelf. PTL!  Anyway, the Catholics murder of some of our missionaries will have some good effects.     Vision of Middle East Brethren Maturity   Anonymous 7/28/23  I saw the Brethren in the middle east with extraordinary faith, and with no doubt hindering them, and knowing their power and authority in Christ, and knowing the Word spiritually and applying it.   They had Faith that the enemy can't even touch them, because they know the price paid and Who lives in them.   I saw demons trembling, because of the Faith they had, and because Jesus was manifested through them. It was not just their enemies trembling, but also the spirits in all those around them. They were in fear of Jesus in them, because He was so strong in them.   No weapon formed against them would prosper, and because they knew it is true, and they knew satan is under their feet, with no doubt.   The enemies' power will be taken away and given to the Brethren in full while on Earth.   While writing this down, the following came to me:  "I have a perfect purpose for the circumstances that have been happening with the Brethren in the Middle East. I Am teaching them many things and there is a great witness of My Truth through all of this. (I felt this witness was not just the Brethren but also their enemies and others seeing and knowing about it.)  Soon, great Faith will be poured out and manifested through them, and they will be strong in Spirit and My Word will be manifested and applied, and there will be greater miracles and power than you all expect."      Vision of Brethren Going To Be With Jesus  Anonymous 7/27/23  I saw a part of Heaven, and there were fields, and the grass was greener than any green in the physical. Everything else however, was like gold but in different colors, and it was all light.   Jesus was standing there looking behind me, and His giant arms were stretched out wide so welcoming and as if waiting for a hug.   I turned behind me, and saw numerous people; women, children and many men walking towards Jesus. They were looking around in extreme awe and joy and their skin and form were perfect, no blemishes or anything, they were perfect and whole.   There was no more evil, no more curse or suffering, only joy. They knew they were home. They were only fully Jesus now and they were greeted and welcomed, and Jesus was the most joyful that they were now there with Him, one with and in Him. It was as if Jesus had waited forever for that moment of them coming to Him. It felt as if Jesus' heart towards them all, "good and faithful servants". But they were each so unique and special and Jesus needed each of them and that each individual was so greatly treasured and precious and loved and needed to be with Him.   I then felt they are all one in Christ now and all our Brethren but Jesus, and the Father the most, are awaiting for us to be 100% reunited with them.      Enemies Turning to Jesus   Anonymous 7/30/23   As I was in a state of being half awake and half asleep when I saw a man who was one of the leaders of the false Christian killers in the Middle East. This man was very influential, and everyone looked to him, and he had zeal for the “Christianity” he believed in, but he was ruthless.   I saw God open his eyes to see the Truth of the Word and he truly repented for all the evil he had done, and God completely changed him. He was sharing the Truth with the others that looked up to him in the false Christianity religion and some were so awed and shocked at this man's big change, and I knew they would see The Real Truth too.   I saw there were others who were so angry and filled with such hatred, but by God changing this leader, he became an incredible witness to all those who were under him and looked up to him.   I knew that this was going to happen. It was so awesome and amazing to see. I was then reminded of Saul/Paul and how Jesus woke him up to the Truth. He had killed many followers of Jesus, just like this man had and that he will come to the Truth too.

Corina Pataki is the author of four books that examine the foundations of spirituality, biblical traditions, discovering one's divine blueprint, and is also a Christian minister. She cites biblical texts to support her claim that the entity called Yahweh in the Old Testament is not the same “Father” that Yeshua (aka Jesus Christ) prayed to but is, in fact, an extraterrestrial imposter with Reptilian genetics. She further adds that Yahweh is the very same Sky God, Enlil, worshipped by the ancient Sumerians, who caused the Great Flood and much human suffering throughout the ages. In her second Exopolitics Today interview, Pataki describes her journey to understanding and writing about the core message of Christianity and understanding the connection to extraterrestrial life.  She agrees with recently discovered Gnostic Christian texts that Yeshua taught how to find one's inner light as the key to salvation rather than teaching followers to worship an external light—including Yeshua himself. Pataki also discusses the mysterious Order of Melchizedek, its foundation by Enoch's descendants, and how the heavenly realms relate to exterrestrial organizations such as the Galactic Federation of Worlds. Finally, she agrees that Yeshua was very likely an extraterrestrial hybrid or baby dropped off to help humanity evolve.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesusis not from God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming; and now it is already in the world. 4 Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and whoever is not from God does not listen to us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.The term “spirits” (v.1) is equivalent to “prophetic messages.”The same word “spirit” is rendered prophecy in 2 Thess 2:2.The idea is similar to that in 1 Thess 5:20-21.The point: don't be duped by false prophets. God's true Spirit always works in harmony with God's Word and will never teach, tolerate or lead us into error.Are there prophets today? Click here.The world—and this includes pagans and the worldly religious—accepts worldly thinking and excuses, approving of the messages of the false prophets (vv.4-6).Anyone on the side of truth will eventually join us—or we will join him.Our focus should not be “Who's right?”, but “What's right?” Begin with the truth in God's word, then apply it relentlessly and accept the conclusions.Can a Gnostic Christian be saved? Click here.7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Verses 7-10 are poetic, and based on an ancient Christian hymn.Love is revealed by action, particularly by going.11 Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. 15 God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God. 16 So we have known and believe the love that God has for us.Love is the very nature of God (vv.7-11). It is impossible to understand real love without appreciating the cross of Christ.In regard to vv.12-15, no one has ever fully, completely seen God (John 1:18; Isa 55:8-9), though at times God has made one aspect or another of himself visible (Exod 34, for example).We see God in the person of Jesus as recorded in the Bible (Col 2:9). But today Jesus is at the right hand of the Father, and through his spirit he lives in his body, the church (Eph 1:22-23; 2:22).Although God is invisible, he is seen in Christian relationships. It's so difficult to lead someone to Christ without his or her seeing the community of faith. The abstract becomes concrete in the fellowship of the saints.God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. 17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness on the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love. In regard to vv.16-18, believers in Christ possess spiritual confidence.Fear has to do with punishment. Christians know they're forgiven, and perfect (mature, complete) love drives out fear. We revere God (a good sort of fear), but we don't stand in terror of God (the bad sort), for three reasons:We're already acquainted with him (he's no stranger), and we're confident about his unchanging nature. A true Christian need not fear death. We don't fear him because we know him.God has assured us in Christ that he'll do anything to get us to heaven. The cross is a powerful disclosure of his heart. "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him” (John 3:17).He sets our hearts at peace, providing us with forgiveness and the gift of a good conscience (Heb 9:14). When we're living right, our hearts are at rest. This should be the “default setting” of a disciple of Christ. At his return Christ will bring salvation to those waiting for him (Hebrews 9:28).What will the judgment day be like for Christians? Will our lives be reviewed in order to determine whether we go to heaven or hell, or merely to determine some level of reward in heaven?All believers will appear before the judgment seat (2 Cor 5:10).We are not saved by our works (Eph 2:8-9), but we are rewarded according to our works (Matt 25:21). Before death we know that we are saved (1 John 5:13) and thus be confident and unashamed before God at his coming (2:28).Jesus frequently mentions treasures in heaven (Matt 6:20).Punishment, like reward, is in direct proportion to knowledge and responsibility (Luke 12:47-48). It is just not true that all get the same reward or punishment.At the return of Christ we will:receive the gift of eternal life (1 Cor 15:50, 53),meet Jesus Christ, andbecome like him (3:2).19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Those who say, “I love God,” and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen. 21 The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.As John puts it in 4:20, if we claim to love the (invisible) Lord while we don't love our (visible) brother, we lie.It isn't logically possible to love God (who is invisible) if you don't love your brothers and sisters (who are visible).Contradictions to the claim that we love God -- all of which bring reproach on the Christian church -- include:Bitterness and resentment (Heb 12:15).Racism and prejudice, which are forms of hatred (Gal 5:20). It has been accurately observed, “11:00 on Sunday morning is the most segregated hour of the week.”Refusal to connect relationally with other Christians. Isolation contributes to denominationalism (1 Cor 1:10-12; 3:16-17; John 17:20-23).Fragmenting or fractured marriages (Eph 5:22-33).Disrespectful treatment of others, violating the spirit of love (1 Cor 13:1-8).Lack of forgiveness -- which is damnable (Matt 6:14-15).Love is the bottom line.A true Christian must actively love God, his brothers and sisters in the faith, and the lost.These truths -- a personal walk with God, involvement in the church, and commitment to evangelism -- we hold to be (biblically) self-evident.Thought questions:Am I spiritually gullible, or am I cautiously skeptical, testing everything by the Word?Are we walking confidently before God and man? How do we feel about the judgment?Does the church you attend reflect local demographics, or is there a lack of love for those who are different from the norm?

The Treatise On Resurrection - Gnostic Text of the Nag Hammadi audio book with text. The Treatise on the Resurrection is an ancient Gnostic Christian text which was found at Nag Hammadi, Egypt. It is also sometimes referred to as "The Letter to Rheginos" because it is a letter responding to questions about the resurrection posed by Rheginos, of whom little is known. The main message of the treatise is that Christians should consider themselves already resurrected in a spiritual sense and that the resurrection is real, not just a metaphor. It asserts that Jesus "lived as flesh" and was "both human and divine." In my opinion, this is very similar to any number of works in Eastern/Hindu mysticism. Here, the resurrection is directly comparable to Self-realization, Enlightenment, Self-knowledge, etc. We also see the idea that the world is illusion or Maya, among other motifs.

Sophia, A Divine Feminine Archetype   Join April, Harmony, and Maggie as they introduce Sophia as part of the Holy Trinity according to the ancient Gnostic Christian sect. Learn more about this hidden and ancient Goddess as Mother of all Creation and how important she is for the cultivation of the Divine Feminine in our modern culture that has been ruled by patriarchy for thousands of years.   Who is Sophia? April explains that the Greek word for wisdom is Sophia. In the Gnostic interpretation of the holy Trinity, it was the father, God, the mother, Sophia, the holy spirit and the child, Jesus. The gnostics were eradicated by the Roman Emperor and their teachings were hid in the Qumran Caves for two thousand years. Sophia shows up years later in the Renaissance period, depicted as the Queen of Heaven. Sophia's modern interpretation according to Harmony is the Divine Mother of all Life even as we are shifting to accept a genderless creator with a balance between the divine masculine and the divine feminine. Sophia, the Great Mother Out of the darkness, a great goddess according to the ancient Babylonians was born from the primordial chaos. She was a multi headed dragon that dates even farther back from the earliest record of Sophia. Now as we enter into the Age of Aquarius, humanity is moving into a global family consciousness. Sophia shows up in modern consciousness as the divine feminine to rekindle and ignite the birthing process of the new age. Maggie shares a definition of feminine and masculine energy to give context to ways we experience feminine energy in our society.   https://www.goddesswitchwomb.com   Divine Feminine Membership: https://mysticharmonymysteryschool.teachable.com/p/membership   Priestess Path: COUPON CODE FOR 13% OFF: GWW13 https://mysticharmonymysteryschool.teachable.com/p/priestess-path-1

#Logos #LogosRising #Christianity In this stream I discuss the spirituality of hermaphrodites and androgyny. Having ancient origins, the concept that spiritual fulfillment is actually the unification of genders was always important to Gnostic Christian sects and has continued within the practices of alchemy and occultism. Today's genderless transhumanism is this ancient heresy's newest form. Make sure to check it out and let me know what you think.

Enjoy the full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYsvjh-rTV4&t=1s BRENDAN D. MURPHY: In late 2019 before co(n)vid kicked off, author Sol Luckman received a powerful intuitive premonitory “download” regarding the p(l)andemic (and pseudo-vakseens) to come, which inspired his latest novel CALI THE DESTROYER. His book singles out, in his words, the primary source of “evil” as we experience it, that being the Archontic demiurgic force operating as a mind parasite in the psyche of human beings. These entities are “psychic” or energetic entities that inhabit vulnerable minds, stimulating self-destructive and sadistic thought, as well as pushing us in the direction of technological transhumanism which will ultimately leave only a simulacrum of humanity in its wake if it succeeds. We discuss the Archontic domination and depopulation agenda, the possible evolutionary leap humankind may soon make, as well as how Luckman's fast-paced novel came to be, and how it weaves the Gnostic myths and prophecies into it—and how they relate to our situation today. You'll learn: * Why the Ancient Gnostic teachings were wiped out by the early Church * What the “Language of the Birds” really is * Who/what the Archons are and how they operate * Why the Illuminati may just be pawns in someone else's game * Why the Fourth Industrial Revolution or “Great Reset” must be stopped * Why the term “Gnostic Christian” is an oxymoron * Why it's harder than ever to discern what is real and what is fake or simulated * The story of the “Fallen Goddess” Sophia and how Archons came into being * How the Technocrats are harvesting our children's biometric and behavioral data through virtual reality tech * How the Gnostic text ON THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD applies to today * And much, MUCH more. This has to be one of THE most tantalizing and thought-provoking discussions I've had on the show, opening up so many rabbit holes as it does. *** Purchase your copy of CALI THE DESTROYER ... http://www.crowrising.com/cali-the-destroyer

If the "Neapolitan Ice Cream" analogy for the Trinity actually Modalism? How about attempts to analogize the Trinity with Quantum Physics? Mustn’t the Genesis Flood be inspired by an actual world flood in ages past? Was Mary made pregnant by a Roman soldier, by her husband Joseph, or an angelic sex act? Do the Paulicians represent a continuation of original Gnostic Christian faith, or a revival? And might there be a real connection with a/the Gnostic Paul? Do you have any idea what Mary might have meant in Luke 1:34 when she asks the angel Gabriel, “How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” I would appreciate your advice for what translations or versions of the Bible might clarify the meaning of certain rare or ambiguous words in the text.

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes The Tarot and the Cathar Code is a path to enlightenment. Russell Sturgess joins me to talk about his new book, The Spiritual Roots Of The Tarot: The Cathar Code Hidden In The Cards. The Holy Grail has been discovered. Not a cup or chalice as myth leads us to believe; the Holy Grail is sacred knowledge of the path to enlightenment and Inner peace. While author Russell Sturgess was researching the Marseille Tarot, he found evidence that this tarot deck, while masquerading as a simple card game, help the teachings of an ancient heretical religious group from Southern France, the athar, Believed to be the keepers of the Holy Grail. To avoid persecution by the papacy, this sect used portable art like illuminations to convey their Gnostic Christian teachings. Similarly, the stained glass windows of churches spoke to their congregations. This portable Cathar art then inspired the creation of the Tarot. The Spiritual Roots Of The Tarot demystifies how the Cathers worked with the Tarot The Cathar Code discovery of a hidden key in certain Tarot Cards After his breakthrough discovery of a hidden key on the Magician and strength tarot cards, Sturgess examined the Major Arcana cards further and use the key to unlock their symbolism, discovering clear instructions for recalibrating human consciousness and achieving enlightenment, with specific tarot cards representing pivotal points in making the journey from ignorance to war ness. Decoding the cards in detail, Sturgess shows how they reveal a journey of transformed consciousness that can result in finding what the Cathar called " The kingdom of heaven."

This is a selection of "Sayings of Jesus" from the gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas (translated by Stephen J. Patterson and James M. Robinson) plus a few other selections of Jesus' key teachings from other gospels. The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is a non-canonical sayings gospel. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. Scholars speculate that the works were buried in response to a letter from Bishop Athanasius declaring a strict canon of Christian scripture. Scholars have proposed dates of composition as early as AD 60 and as late as AD 140. The Coptic-language text, the second of seven contained in what modern-day scholars have designated as Codex II, is composed of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus. In the Gnostic Christian tradition, Christ is seen as a divine being which has taken human form in order to lead humanity back to the Light. The usual meaning of gnostikos in Classical Greek texts is "learned" or "intellectual". Art image - "Ground" by Dan Hillier used with kind permission of the artist.

The Nag Hammadi Library today on the Metaphysical Theater The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient books (called "codices") containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary Gnostic scriptures – texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "orthodoxy" – scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth. The discovery and translation of the Nag Hammadi library has provided impetus to a major re-evaluation of early Christian history and the nature of Gnosticism. (Readers unfamiliar with this history may wish to read an excerpt from Elaine Pagels' excellent popular introduction to the Nag Hammadi texts, The Gnostic Gospels.) We have add extensive resources on two centrally important texts from Nag Hammadi: The Gospel of Thomas and The Secret Book of John. Multiple authoritative translations of several Nag Hammadi scriptures are included in the collection.  Valentinus and Valentinian Gnosis. Valentinus was one of the most influential Gnostic Christian teachers of the second century A.D., and was the only Gnostic considered for election as Bishop of Rome (Pope). He founded a movement which spread throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Despite persecution by developing orthodoxies, the Valentinian school endured for over 600 years. A large number of texts in the Nag Hammadi collection are influence by Valentinian tradition. Due to its importance, we have a large section of the library dedicated specifically to Valentinus and the Valentinian Tradition. Check out, by typing into google " is this the largest metaphysical library on the web?" And thank you for listening to this Anchor FM podcast of the metaphysical theater

On Thursday September 18th, 2014 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present a discussion on the career and contributions of Marcus the Valentinian (died 175 a.d.). Marcus was as much a Hermetic as he was a Gnostic Christian. The Church Fathers accused him of being more Pythagorean than Christian. He was the developer of the Soma Sophia system of celestial Greek qabalah which we have decoded and perfected (see The Seventh Ray, Book III ) and, according to Kieren Barry, Marcus had an influence of the creation of the later Sepher Yetzirah. Marcus developed some of the basic concepts of what became the qabalah. Marcus was a Phoenician, influenced by the earlier Samaritan Simon Magus. Like Simon Marcus had a Priestess whom he venerated as an equal. He gave communion with his priestess by his side and turned water into wine at the altar. The early Church Fathers considered this blasphemous. Marcus's cult spread from the Middle East to Southern France in the days Gnostic Christian Marcus - the First Rosicrucian? before Constantine force-reformed Christianity. So, if you want to explore the most ancient origins of what we call "The Western Tradition," then tune in and we will spend an hour with a man who may have been the first Rosicrucian.  

On Thursday September 4th, 2014 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present a discussion on Shamgar, son of the Canaanite War Goddess Anath "who killed 600 Philistines with an ox goad and saved Israel "(over a hundred years before Samson) and became a Judge (ruler of all the tribes) of Israel. Shamgar's story is briefly told in the Biblical Book of Judges. Beyond that lies the realm of myth and legend in which it is suggested that Shamgar was a Phoenician pirate called "Tekheleth Tholi." The Purple Dragon based in Tyre and sent by King Abi Milki to aid the Israeites against the Philistines. He joins the host of the Hebrew Judge Ehud, and marries his daughter Jael, who eventually tries to kill him. His ox goad is said to have been a magical weapon forged by the blacksmith Tubal Cain. The legend is perpetuated in the Gnostic Christian tradition of Marcus from whom we get the Greek Qabalah. Shamgar's exploits should be considered symbolic rather than historic, like the story of Hiram Abiff in Masonry or the Labors of Hercules in Phoenician and Greek astrological lore. If you want to return to the days when Gods and Giants walked the earth, tune in and we'll evoke the shade of Shamgar.

One of the recent characteristics of Catholic critics of Pope Francis is their disregard for literary context. By literary context, I am referring to the immediate sentences preceding and following a given text of consideration. Time and again, I have seen the critics of Pope Francis excerpt a particular statement without any attention to the literary context. In this episode, I show how this lack of attention to literary context characterized much of the exegesis offered by Gnostic Christian commentators and theologians. Instead, Gnostic Christian thinkers like Ptolemy, Heracleon and other selected key motifs from the New Testament and built out their various theological systems. Their interpretation of New Testament texts was characterized by a focus on motifs and ideas rather than on the literary context which supplied the backdrop for those particular statements on which they directed the focus of their comments. I show how there is a strong similarity in this approach with the criticisms leveled by English-speaking Catholics against Pope Francis. Rather than concentrating on the literary context of his statements and interpreting Francis contextually, these critics have instead isolated specific phrases or sentences and have used them to characterize his theology in the worst possible light. Join us this week as we talk about the importance of literary context for interpreting any text.     To comment on this show or provide feedback, please navigate to https://catholicheritageshow.com/episode98 The Catholic Heritage is devoted to helping Catholic Christians better understand the history, teachings and culture of their Catholic faith so that they can better love and serve Christ, the Church and their neighbors.

Ryan McGranahan chooses his own religion! Ryan is a storyteller from Los Angeles and a member of Ecclesia Gnostica, a Gnostic Christian church here in Los Angeles, and he came on the show to explain Gnostic Christianity to me. We talk about Jesus in the Gnostic tradition, the inversion of Christian tropes, little-g gnosticism, the divine feminine, magic, rituals, cosmological differences, the importance of belief, prayer, symbolism, and how it all comes back to the Matrix.

Our holiday fundraiser for The Bodhana Group has officially begun! Grant and a recuperating Peter kick off this episode with a plug for that, before diving into the complex structure and philosophy of Gnosticism in order to lay a foundation for further episodes on specific Gnostic Christian sects. Grant provides an overview of core Gnostic beliefs, and how they connect to Christianity and Judaism (as well as other beliefs from around the Hellenistic world.) We touch on Kabbalah and modern Gnostic influences, and then spend some time discussing a major and newly-discovered Gnostic text: The Gospel of Judas. Grab a notepad, and enjoy! Scripture: Deuteronomy 4:39, 1 Timothy 6:20-21, 1 John 4:2-3
