Rome did take the O. T. genocidal tyrant and turned him into a softer gentler God for sure but I do not agree that Jesus was all that good to women. If you look at his no divorce policy you will see that it is not only immoral it is also anti-love as it forced people to stay married regardless of h...

Is God the epitome of both good and evil? God claims to be the epitome of all attributes and command that we place no one above him for any of them. We are not to see or name anyone as more moral, more loving, more just, more compassionate or more of any other attributes we can name. Fewer scriptur...

Any good God who wanted relevance to man would pop up. Do you mean in the way the Goddess and demiurge pop up? Of course Christianity holds that God became incarnate, or does that not qualify as popping up? Gnostic Christian know that the only God fit for man is a man and that we have invented all ...

I took him to mean that the goddess evolved from cultural evolution. I don't know maybe he can explain. I have as much difficulty with intelligent minds being created by dumb matter as I do with Gods evolving from it. So much for reason. Do you prefer to think that a good God would create as he doe...

What did the Goddess evolve from and where did she rule from? I took him to mean that the goddess evolved from cultural evolution. It is a belief, in the minds of men, aggrandized and accentuated over countless generations of storytelling. This is how all gods have come to be. It is why we see no s...

God did not evolve initially. The Goddess did. She ruled for 20,000 years or so before the Bronze Age. What did the Goddess evolve from and where did she rule from? As to where that the Gnostic Christian God can be found. Why, in your own bible. Or have you forgotten that it is a Jewish tradition t...

We hurt more children than we help with indoctrination into the supernatural and unproven world. Hi Bishop, I've been trying to understand what it is that you believe so had a look at the Gnostic church link you gave. It seems to be a kind of neo Gnosticism which parts company with older versions i...
