Gnosticism (from Ancient Greek: γνωστικός gnostikos, "having knowledge", from γνῶσις gnōsis, knowledge) is a modern name for a variety of ancient religious ideas and systems, originating in Jewish-Christian milieus in the first and second century AD. These systems believed that the material world is created by an emanation of the highest God, trapping the divine spark within the human body. This divine spark could be liberated by gnosis. Some of the core teachings include the following:

All matter is evil, and the non-material, spirit-realm is good.

There is an unknowable God, who gave rise to many lesser spirit beings called Aeons.

One evil, lower spirit being is the creator who made the universe.

Gnosticism does not deal with 'sin', only ignorance.

To achieve salvation, one needs to get in touch with secret knowledge.

The Gnostic ideas and systems flourished in the Mediterranean world in the second century AD, in conjunction with and influenced by the early Christian movements and Middle Platonism. After the second century, a decline set in, but Gnosticism persisted throughout the centuries as an undercurrent of western culture, remanifesting with the Renaissance as Western esotericism, taking prominence with modern spirituality. In the Persian Empire, Gnosticism spread as far as China with Manicheism, while Mandaeism is still alive in Iraq.

Yeah, you need to get up-to-date and follow New Age and/or Gnostic mythology. Very trendy. Most of the people on this board follow modern myths, not old ones. /sarc

Do you have any concept of logical and metaphysical?

Is an idea logical

Is a feeling logical

Metaphysics covers the "intangible"

Intangible

unable to be touched or grasped; not having physical presence.

intangibles like self-confidence and responsibility"

Logic has no mechanism to deal with intangible

You cannot "prove" something in your mind or another's mind

You cannot prove you are free and alive. and not living in the Matrix

Get it? Logic doesn't cover everything

Do you know what the difference was in the roles and social philosophies of the two.

(Hint: one were elitist, the others were not)

Consider his comments in that context, and who shared more of his world view).

Religious, but intended to be a "philosophy of life", too.

So…

Exactly where do you see this fitting in the Plan?

Maybe they didn't realize such powerful convincing material was available?

Why don't you just repost it on youtube and see how many views it gets.

Consider it a test run.

See it it "pounds them to dust"

Although I suspect the low hits you already got encouraged you to get Q to "push" it since it was a dud.

Maybe you noticed he hasn't asked us to provide him any "great ideas"?

We are just to warm-up act and distraction to draw fire while the real warriors are busy doing the real fighting.

Accept it and deal with it.

So you are peddling this as a religion now?

"A Man is Known By the Company He Keeps"

The list in the graphic shows us about your fellow travelers on the road to Truth.

You really want to push that here?

>>1438328

Simple.

Your limited understanding of most things shines through.

Coupled with you inability to thinks logically completes our picture of you.

Don't bring a butter knife to a gun fight

>>2451032

Just didn't want you to be disappointed since what you seek was not on his list of action items.

There have already been several Great Awakenings in US history,

You can google them, They run in cycles

No great secrets revealed just folks re-uniting with their religioustiy

You will have to help yourself.

That would include Jesus and most off his disciples.

How does your "research" explain that.

It must have explained it?

>>2459785

Read a bible or your choice.

Better than some guy's idea of what it says

>>2464868

Nice dodge dipshit.

I specifically mentioned Jesus & disciples and you give me irrelevant blather about other topics.

Pure deflection

Want a job with CNN ?- you qualify

Want a redo on my pointing out a contradiction or more dodging?

>>2464944

Guess we can all just leave here?

BTW You said: "Energy never dies"

More than a little misleading since "energy" is never alive and any meaningful context.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed, it can merely be changed from one form of energy to another. Energy often ends up as heat, which is thermal energy (kinetic energy, really) of atoms and molecules. Kinetic friction, for example, generally turns energy into heat, and although we associate kinetic friction with energy loss, it really is just a way of transforming kinetic energy into thermal energy.

Where does the energy of a battery go if connected to an electric heater?

(HInt: it changes forms, but doesn't go to another dimension.

It works the same at 60 cycle per second (i.e.hz) and we could easily create lower frequencies ( the range of chakras) but it still changes to heat and doesn't go to another dimension.

It does "dissipate" according to the 2nd law of Thermodynamics (i.e. entropy).

This is high school or possible Physics 101.

If you have figured out how to take internal energy and turn it into Truth, physicists everywhere would like to hear from you

See how hard it is to use science to prove religion?

One is Physics and the other is Metaphysics (like ideas, concepts, beliefs, magic, ESP etc) hence there are no scientific "proof" mbut may have some empirical evidence (that falls in to the area of

"theory", not proof. Einstein could not "prove" his Theory of Relativity.

No space to discuss the particulars here

You are just a historical illiterate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Awakening

The Great Awakening refers to a number of periods of religious revival in American Christian history. Historians and theologians identify three or four waves of increased religious enthusiasm occurring between the early 18th century and the late 20th century. Each of these "Great Awakenings" was characterized by widespread revivals led by evangelical Protestant ministers, a sharp increase of interest in religion, a profound sense of conviction and redemption on the part of those affected, an increase in evangelical church membership, and the formation of new religious movements and denominations.

30 seconds of research would have found that, and you would have been spared yourself complete humiliation and failure as a "researcher"

Perhaps you should take your own advice

The Book of Revelation, often called the Revelation to John, the Apocalypse of John, The Revelation, or simply Revelation or Apocalypse (and often misquoted as Revelations),

is a book of the New Testament that occupies a central place in Christian eschatology.

Its title is derived from the first word of the text, written in Koine Greek: apokalypsis, meaning "unveiling" or "revelation" (before title pages and titles, books were commonly known by their first words, as is also the case of the Hebrew Five Books of Moses (Torah)).

The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic document in the New Testament canon (although there are short apocalyptic passages in various places in the Gospels and the Epistles

The Hegelian Dialectic wasn't around then, and isn't universally true.

I wonder how a serious Christian can find Hegel's work (Right or Left Hegelian) useful.

Sometimes the Thesis totally destroys the Anti-thesis so the Synthesis is moot

Wars are striking examples of that. so it is less than universal

I hope you didn't learn biblical things from here:

Hegelian Dialectic (The Book of Revelation)[2] is the fifth and final studio album by American rapper Prodigy. The album was released on January 20, 2017 through Infamous Records.[3] The first single from the album was "Tyranny", which was released in February 2016.

Nice of you to share your denominationa beliefs with us as if they were the Absolute Truth.

So fortunate of you, We cower in the Truth of your teachings

The Philistines or Canaanites would be more likely

Judea was eventually separated from Canaan

>>2699318

Cuz I don't post my opinion as fact.

I also didn't imply there was on correct "Revelation"

I also didn't say it shouldn't be in the Bible, yet there it is, so people closer to the time don't agree with your 2018 "opinion" (which suggested some "certainty")

And "your" grammar Nazi is the proper form

Not "you are" grammar Nazi

Your cut & paste was sloppy
