Re: [TruthTalk] Grammar & Worldview vs. The Spirit

[Judy Taylor]

Lance writes: Answer:In Jesus Who is both God & Man and, the only way to God.   Yes! And how is this different from Mormons, Children of God, Jehovah Witness, etc. etc.   'Why call it gnosticism?' a. You haven't yet (nor will you likely ever) apprehended the meaning or significance of gnosticism.   I know what you call gnosticism Lance, but you don't apprehend it's roots then or now. Nor do you understand the spiritual walk.   Answer:Because that's what it is.   No, that's what you have labelled 'it' - I knew I was being baited but Oh well, it's better than a whole day of unintelligible to the uninitiated - one liners from Canada :)   'On whose part Lance?'   Answer:On your part Judy. This may well include Linda and Terry though I'm not yet certain of this observation.   You don't have to know 'it' to be obedient to what you do know. You needn't be embarrassed at not understanding gnosticism. Just live out what you do understand. This, I believe, you are already doing with more consistency than many. Praise God!    What would cause you to think I am embarrassed Lance? You just refuse to believe that I know what you are talking about.  I've read Elaine Pagels book and have studied church history some.  Very arrogant of you to put yourself in an ivory tower of scholarship.
