LeonardoCornejo: I did not censor you. In fact I actually upvoted your first posts because of curiosity. But since you show disdain to me and you are rather negative with all that end of the world thing. I will ignore you now and even downvote or complain about your presence since, well, you are starting to scare me.
capricorn1971ad: no, but you must understand, man is not here to honor man, but we do have an obligation to truth, do we not?
Samael is headed this way, hope you are ready.. but you aren't spiritual, how will you defend yourself against him?
you know, IF gnostic was actually a gnostic he would know that, he uses the term not even knowing what it is, not even caring.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samael In the Apocryphon of John, found in the Nag Hammadi library, Samael is the third name of the demiurge, whose other names are Yaldabaoth and Saklas. In this context, Samael means "the blind god", the theme of blindness running throughout
gnostic works. His appearance is that of a lion-faced serpent. In On the Origin of the World in the Nag Hammadi library texts, he is also referred to as Ariael, the Archangel of Principalities.
If you people don't understand what I am telling you then research it.
Isn't "out of left field" at all.. It's actually straight up the center.
like Diogenes explaining that the easiest way to set mankinds path aright was as simple as changing the finger we point with, which then he wen't about with his middle finger pointing at everything and everyone.
but you see, we all know it is impolite to point, and when you point with the middle finger, there is no mistaking the target, so therefor this is considered "taboo".
So then later, when asked what the difference was between a wiseman and a fool, he simply said "A Finger".
think of me what you will, it is of no real matter, i am but an Iota, a dog, you don't believe i exist anyways, lost in the delusion that you do.
I am but the smoke of a pot.
Unfortunately, no one have a monopoly over the definition of Gnostic.
The term "Gnosticism" does not appear in ancient sources,[100] and was first coined in the 17th Century by Henry More in a commentary on the seven letters of the Book of Revelation, where More used the term "Gnosticisme" to describe the heresy in Thyatira.[101] The term derives from the use of the Greek adjective gnostikos ("learned", "intellectual", Greek γνωστικός) by St. Irenaeus (c. 185 AD) to describe the school of Valentinus as he legomene gnostike haeresis "the heresy called Learned (gnostic)"
This occurs in the context of Irenaeus' work On the Detection and Overthrow of the So-Called Gnosis, (Greek: elenchos kai anatrope tes pseudonymou gnoseos, ἔλεγχος καὶ ἀνατροπὴ τῆς ψευδωνύμου γνώσεως) where the term "knowledge falsely so-called" (pseudonymos gnosis) covers various groups, not just Valentinus, and is a quotation of the apostle Paul's warning against "knowledge falsely so-called" in 1 Timothy 6:20.[103]
The usual meaning of gnostikos in Classical Greek texts is "learned" or "intellectual", such as used in the comparison of "practical" (praktikos) and "intellectual" (gnostikos) in Plato's dialogue between Young Socrates and the Foreigner in his The Statesman (258e).[104] Plato's use of "learned" is fairly typical of Classical texts
Considering religious groups prosecute the people who have a different opinion regarding earth is not flat and the sun does not revolves around the earth, the Learned are heretic indeed.
