But I now know why you don't contribute intelligent conversation, because you immature and not capable. But when I want to be in a bad mood like you are I don't,
By Heresiarch:
like a total coward without a spine, go to the internet to harass people who think more than me.
By Heresiarch:
I come on the internet and spread interesting information. What this website is meant for. And you don't have anything interesting to say because you're like a prank caller in the internet age, so you get mad and one day you're pretending to be sticking up for the religious and today your insulting me for my religious beliefs.

and girls don't like you.
You really need to read your bible, because nobody who reads acts through Sauls epistles can say that Paul was a friend of the Apostles. Paul lies about the Apostles accepting him, but they definitely didn't.
When you read Paul you get contradictions and lies like: For the whole Law is summed up in one commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Galatians 5:14 But Yeshua taught that the greatest commandment was to " love God, and the second is like it, you should love your neighbor as yourself." Does it sound like Yeshua thought that the Law could be summed up in a single

you wasted your time typing in all those Nag Hammadi texts names because I not only own the book but I have been reading them online for years.
By Heresiarch:
In addition to reading almost daily the Nag Hammadi scriptures I read a little of both Testaments and 8 pages (at least) of the Quran everyday. Last year I read the whole Bible. I have also read 1&2 Enoch, The lost books of the Bible and the Forgotten books of Eden (I own this one) Jugilees, Jasher, the Torah section of the Zohar and much, much more since you're so concerned with my reading habits. I've also read much of and own the Zend Avesta and the extra biblical Dead Sea Scrolls.
By Heresiarch:
But thanks for googling the contents of a book that I own.

By Heresiarch:
that you know what Gnostics believe (there is no set of beliefs, a Gnostic is free to believe as he/she sees fit) and that Gnostics don't believe in the Bible, which is applying an umbrella to a philosophy that doesn't have an umbrella, and false, just shows you should never try and define a religion that isn't your's because you will be wrong every time.
By Heresiarch:
Yahweh is a false god, Ialdabaoth is one of his Gnostic names. But he is not the Most High, not Yeshua's heavenly Father and not God. That doesn't render the Old Testament useless though as it will always be worth reading for insights on the Demiurge.
By Heresiarch:
And what Gnosticism is to me it is to me specifically. Nobody will ever tell me what to believe. They might tell me what they believe, and I may or may not agree, but nobody has a priest, there are no priests or clergy of any kind.
By Heresiarch:
My beliefs are a mixture of Mazdayaznian, Essene and Gnostic.
By Heresiarch:
One last thing, the Gnostics of Nag Hammadi would have had different ideas than Gnostics from Syria so trying to say what Gnostics did or do believe would require many books, I know, I have read a few.
By Heresiarch:
You keep saying a Gnostic would never do this, or a Gnostic would never follow the Bible. Let me tell you reality.

By Heresiarch:
A Gnostic (from the greek gnostikoi, 'those who know') reads and studies all faiths, it was like that in ancient times and is like that today.
By Heresiarch:
Th Nag Hammadi Gnostics lived in an era when even possessing a Bible could get you killed. Only the priests and nobility were aloud. If they had a Bible, they would have to read it to learn about the Demiurge and Jesus.
By Heresiarch:
And the Gnostic scriptures have Jesus as saviour just like the Catholic, and some of their writings are apostolic and Christian.
By Heresiarch:
But your fallacy is believing that the Bible is forbidden to Gnostics. You DON'T what Gnostics believe because every Gnostic has their own beliefs. There are no rules and no doctrine to Gnosticism.
By Heresiarch:
The two concepts that you WILL find in common with all Gnostics is a love for knowledge and faith.
By Heresiarch:
Pistis Sophia, the oldest surviving Gnostic text before Nag Hammadi means Faith Wisdom. I have read it.
By Heresiarch:
And you want to accuse me of not reading the Nag Hammadi scriptures, which I do everyday now and have been reading here and there online for years. I do own the book, just because I like books, but they have been online for YEARS.
By Heresiarch:
Last, don't say you know what a Gnostic believes, I have already explained to you that every Gnostic believes different from the next.
By Heresiarch:
We don't meet up and formulate dogma's and doctrine, we don't police others beliefs, and there is no Gnostic statement of faith that you can site.
By Heresiarch:
As much as you want to be, you are not educated. Not in Gnosticism and not acting like a man.
By Heresiarch:
You are my own personal cyber stalker.
By Heresiarch:
You like my style.
By Heresiarch:
and like a schoolgirl with a crush you try picking on me to hide your admiration and/or jealousy( of my style and knowledge). I have you figured out and it's creepy, not cute. Live and let live. Stop riding my **** because you can't compete intellectually.
