    Default The "Divine Science"

    The Gnostic " alone possess the true and spiritual meaning of the scriptures." To him " the sayings of our Lord,
    though obscure to others, are clear and manifest." * The words the " Elect," the " Seed of Abraham," the " Called,"
    the " Spiritual Levite," the " True Israelite," the " Friend and Son," the " King," do not refer to literal Hebrews, but to the winnowed group of earth's high mystics. Gnosticism is the " divine science." It is " the light that comes into the soul." It is a " rational death, separating the soul from the passions." It is not born with men ; it is a growth, a " mystical habit," acquired by degrees. By it " man becomes assimilated to God." He gains the privilege of being called " brother " by Christ. He is the friend and son of God ; he is the " God-bearer ; " he is God, walking in the flesh."

    So I wonder how these boards are going to instill a Troll Patrol?

    I can't believe it has already started.

    Essene, that's a helluva way to start a science thread. You should know that the reaction of us non-believers will be to ask you for some kind of evidence that your statements are true. Quoting scripture provides evidence of nothing unless you can provide some corroborating evidence from at least one other source.

    I'm jus' sayin'... if you are planning on just flinging your little scriptural nuggets here then you might as well go stand on a beach and tell the tide not to come in.

    Closing the thread, I'll install some sort of abuse report mod soon.
