Yeah, there is a lot of stuff hidden in the Bible that only comes to light with
pure consciousness, and if the expression, 'knowledge is structured in
consciousness', holds, that carries a lot of potential for disagreement with
it.

The problem that Christianity faces is its designation of Jesus as the

question I posed to Bishop Spong (a deceased Christian Gnostic).
S3,
I'm glad you understand what I was saying. I believe there are some priests
in the Catholic Church who think the same way. But they're afraid to rock the
boat and be labelled a heretic. It will take hundreds of years for the

That's my take also. Though I'd expect very few church-goers would understand
what we're on about. Alan Watts wrote clearly defending this same
