Cool ! Good answer. I feel that if i was without the hope of Jesus' resurrection i would be lost. I know this is obvious but i mean in every way. Im talking about suicide people! I use to be very suicidal in my early teens all the way up until i learn't how to be specific in what I'm asking for in help from God. I find that God always looks at your motive for what your asking for.

Much Love, Nay.

One of my favourite bible stories is the one about Zaccheus, the short man who climbed a tree to see Jesus. Luke chapter 19.

It makes sense that he does, even with us imperfect humans we'd be unlikely to give someone what they were asking us for if it was a thing which harm our relationship with them.

Hope, based on the supernatural, is not intelligent. But ok.

Have you looked at the moral aspects of what you would need to accept though to take advantage of that resurrection and salvific policy based on the punishment of the innocent instead of the guilty?

Please listen to what Bishop Spong has to say on this issue.

I like quite a few.

Especially the story of king David's baby.

It is spoken of in this link. Tell me your thoughts on Yahweh after you view it.

Your theology is quite immoral and it is my duty to it's victims to let you know that as it is causing a lot of people a lot of damage.

Both Christianity and Islam have basically developed into intolerant, homophobic and misogynous religions. Both religions have grown themselves by the sword instead of good deeds and continue with their immoral ways in spite of secular law showing them the moral ways.

Jesus said we would know his people by their works and deeds. That means Jesus would not recognize Christians and Muslims as his people, and neither do I. Jesus would call Christianity and Islam abominations.

Gnostic Christians did in the past, and I am proudly continuing that tradition and honest irrefutable evaluation based on morality.

Your own bible's good advice is what I follow so I do not want to follow yours.

Proverbs 3:12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.

You are holding fast to what is evil. If you wish to stop doing so, I can help if you let me.

Gnostic Jesus has a better way.

Regards
DL

Well, you can keep your Gnostic Jesus, and I'll keep my Protestant/Catholic/Orthodox Jesus. Quit calling me immoral.

As I don't persecute women and gays, I refuse to accept responsibility for the actions of other Christians. And as Gnosticism had had its origins in Pre-Christian Greek culture, it can be argued that the Greek attitude of seeing women as creatures of less worth probably had been passed on to the Gnostics.

Is this how you want to present Gnosticism as? Pushy and judgmental? This sounds no different than the Christians and Muslims you are accusing of doing.
