The Way: Gnosis In The Bible
December 8, 2014 1 Comment
‘The Way’ will reveal the major alterations made to the Bible, theological and historical cover ups – all part of the Great Deception. ‘The Way’ series will also reveal the true meaning of Jesus’ message and how to reach spiritual perfection.
This is not intended to shake your faith, or prove God isn’t real. God is very real. This is simply to help point out the errors the Catholic Church inserted into the text. The institutionalized Church and the canonized Bible are the Great Deception. No matter how hard the early Catholics tried to alter the text, Truth remains. Clues to the true story are hidden in the lies. The Light hidden within the Darkness. As a minister of Christ and follower of ‘The Way’, it is my job to defend Truth and present it to the world. I give you the facts, it is up to you to look into it yourself. Don’t believe it because I say it, believe it because you see it to be true.
Before you read any further, it must be understood I am not attacking God, but defending Him. I am not attacking His Word, but revealing it. I am not seeking to destroy His way, but to preserve it. I am a follower of Yeshua, defender of The Way.
This is a continuation of The Way: Gnosis Is Of Jesus, Not Satan
Many modern Christians would like to believe Gnostics to be heretics, and Gnosticism et al to be heresy. As was shown in earlier articles of ‘The Way’, that it is not the case. Gnosticism, and what became known as Gnostic Christianity, pre-date Catholicism and all other faiths. Gnostic Christians were actually the first Christians.
Many pastors, priests, and followers of the mainstream Christian establishment try to suggest that there are no Biblical references to Gnostics or Gnosis. Well, let us remember Gnosis is translated to wisdom, as is Da’ath. Gnosis is Greek whereas Daath is the Hebrew.
So, do we have references to Gnosis in the Bible? Below I give a few of the more than 272 verses that directly mention Gnosis.
1 Corinthians 2:6-8
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom (Gnosis) of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom (Gnosis), which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
2 Peter 3:15-16
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom (Gnosis) given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
James 1:5-6
If any of you lack wisdom (Gnosis) , let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James 3:13
Who is a wise man (Gnostic) and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom (Gnosis).
James 3:17
But the wisdom (Gnosis) that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Colossians 1:9
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom (Gnosis) and spiritual understanding;
Colossians 1:28
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom (Gnosis); that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Colossians 2:2-4
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom (Gnosis) and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom (Gnosis); teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Colossians 4:5
Walk in wisdom (Gnosis) toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Ephesians 1:17
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom (Gnosis) and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Ephesians 3:10
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom (Gnosis) of God,
Romans 11:33
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom (Gnosis) and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Acts 6:3
Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom (Gnosis), whom we may appoint over this business.
Acts 6:10
And they were not able to resist the wisdom (Gnosis) and the spirit by which he spake.
Luke 2:40
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom (Gnosis); and the grace of God was upon him.
Luke 2:52
And Jesus increased in wisdom (Gnosis) and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Luke 11:49
Therefore also said the wisdom (Gnosis) of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
Luke 21:15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom (Gnosis), which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Mark 6:2
And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom (Gnosis) is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
Matthew 13:54
And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom (Gnosis), and these mighty works?
Daniel 1:17
As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom (Gnosis): and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
Isaiah 11:2
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom (Gnosis) and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
As you can see, Gnosis was spoken about quite often. We are reminded throughout, that to achieve the spiritual kingdom we must grow in spiritual wisdom, not worldly wisdom. We need knowledge and wisdom of this world and our respective societies to survive while we exist in this world; but we must attain spiritual wisdom in order to make entry into the spiritual kingdom. This wisdom can only be obtained through faith in Jesus Christ, and walking down the path he has laid before us.
Mainstream dogma and rituals are nothing more than broken promises and a guarantee to your spiritual enslavement and eventual eternal destruction. Many Christians also put on a good act, thinking Jesus cannot see their heart. Memorizing the Bible and pretending while in front of the public does you no good, lest you are also that way in private and in your heart. Those of you who ignorantly call yourselves Christians are in worse condition than those who admittedly don’t follow Christ. You may be able to fool others, but you cannot fool Jesus.
Many also state they refuse to read Gnostic texts because it may “shake” their “faith”. As was made clear throughout this series thus far, Gnosis was taught by Jesus, not todays dogma and rituals. In fact, Jesus taught against dogmatic nonsense and rituals. Todays dogma, regardless of denomination, originate in the Catholic church. The Catholics have admitted that certain texts were altered or not accepted in their chosen canon because the text goes against what they (the Catholics) chose to believe. In other words, the Catholics deliberately altered the Gospel of Christ to fit what they believe – and all of you Christians today are believing in this gospel of the Catholics, not the Gospel as preached by Christ.
Now, that is not to say you can’t read the Bible. The devil cannot preach the lies without truth. Truth must be mentioned. Todays Bibles contain truth wrapped in lies. It is in this way the devil tricks the people and convinces us to follow him instead of Jesus. You must read the Bible closely, and pray. The Truth will stand out while the lies fade into the background.
There is a reason why Jesus stated “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear”. He was speaking things with a double meaning. Those of the Light would hear the spiritual meaning, while those not of the light would only hear the worldly meaning.
Many will try countering this by showing me other verses in 1 Corinthians. In those verses, Paul is speaking of worldly wisdom, not spiritual wisdom. If, however, you would like to believe all verses are of the same type of wisdom, therefore taking those verses out of context, then you must also believe then, that Paul is contradicting himself. So which is it? Is the Bible accurate or contradictory, for it cannot be both. Truth hidden beneath lies does not equate contradiction. (More on Paul Here)
Everyone claims to be believers of the Gospel and followers of Christ. But are you? Which Gospel is it that you believe, the Gospel of Christ or the gospel of man?
As Peter states in the verse quoted above, somethings will be hard to understand at first and those that cannot immediately understand, will twist the meaning of the scriptures to fit themselves, causing their spiritual destruction. This began with the Catholics and continues unto this very day in each and every denomination.
I will leave you with Scripture for my closing statement:
Gospel of Peace: Book One
For I tell you truly, all living things are nearer to God than the scripture which is without life. God so made life and all living things that they might by the everlasting word teach the laws of the true God to man. God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit.
Gospel Of The Perfect Life
Lection XC:9-10
9. Be faithful to the light ye have, till a higher light is given to you. Seek more light, and ye shall have abundantly; rest not, till ye find.
10. God giveth you all Truth, as a ladder with many steps, for the salvation and perfection of the soul, and the truth which seemeth to day, ye will abandon for the higher truth of the morrow. Press ye unto Perfection.
Gospel Of Thomas
2) Jesus said, “Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All.”
John 8:32 KJV
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Galatians 4:16 KJV
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
