>It always sucks to see you guys fail to realize what's been done to the Bible.
Oh, so now you're going to tell us all about it since you have some special knowledge (gnostic) the rest of us poor saps don't have, including the saps in centuries of past history, as if God hasn't been able to get souls to see the Light. Gotcha!
>A lot of what Jesus did and said was "misplaced" and found its way in to the hands of the secret orders.
Is that so? God the Father and His Son were so weak, they couldn't handle the secret orders. Furthermore, God the Son came to fulfill, as a JEW, the Laws of Moses and what the Prophets foretold of Him. Apparently, your "jesus" is some sort of space man, or something.
>Unfortunately, they (which we would not call Gnostics) got infiltrated after furthering the teachings of the man that inspired them and ultimately subverted. What they understood and could manage to perform was inverted or otherwise tainted and hidden from all of us so that we couldn't regain the power we once lost.
Now there's Babel if I ever heard it. The purpose for Christ being sent by His Father from Heaven is to redeem the sheep sold under sin by their first father, Adam. Christ only regained what had been lost. It can't be found anywhere else, and what was lost was the rightstanding with God, the Creator.
>The Old Testament is a collection of Hebrew Scripture which Catholics/Jesuits (which are basically just "Jews" who don't realize it) convinced "Christians" to adopt.
Catholics didn't come up with the Old Testament. Christ Himself said the Scriptures, at that time comprising only the Old Testament, could not be broken. Not only could they and can they be disanulled, but they cannot be separated into disparate units. They have a unifying theme, and that theme is Christ Jesus. He Himself said that not one jot or tittle could be undone.
>"Christians" worshiped The Christ (meanings have been diluted), not so much "Jesus". This is the reason they were fucked with so hard and have reverted to paganism openly.
"Christ" means the anointed one. Jesus was anointed, not only by His Father, but by John the Baptist. Those of whom you speak having reverted to paganism are exactly what is described in the Revelation-the Harlot, apostates. Science fiction, btw, is simply modernized paganism, et's instead of gods.
>Are we reading the same damn book?
It is not damned. Since you have discounted the Old Testament, then you aren't reading the same book.
>It's claimed the guy rose from the dead, which there are significantly simpler explanations for.
You are not the font of the entirety of knowledge. The Creator created the whole thing, He can raise the dead. He is the Source of Life after all.
>The texts also recall him "walking on water" (which, isn't all that spectacular considering people like Pythagreous, but that's a different story).
>
>Okay, okay, I'm probably only confusing you further so let me just spit it out:
The only one confused is yourself. For one mocking how resurrection or walking on water can occur, it is laughable you are citing Harry Potter and Star Wars (a modernized science fictioned version of Budhism).
And yes, I zealously defend the Word of God because that Word brings life to His children. Mockers spit on His Word, such as yourself, because they are filled with Darkness and ignorance, as well as vainglory and haughtiness.
