"Who other than a man ever put voice to the will of God?"


As a gnostic Christian Naturalist (not come across that one before btw) are you of the stance that the above statement supports the non-existence of God?

I would agree with the quoted statement almost entirely yet I believe in God.

Do you use the label gnostic in the loose sense from the perspective of someone who "mystically knows" or from a stricter sense ie. someone who is a fully-fledged gnostic with the belief systems etc. in place. They're an interesting bunch and oft misunderstood (vastly so) by both regular Christians and more mystical folk who enjoy using the word gnostic to seperate their views from the regular bunch.

Cheers

What most define as God, yes.
The miracle working God who makes demands from us, yes.

Gnostic Christian is my tempermant. It basically states that all things must be questioned and judged for veracity. Naturalist is to show that the God I found, a cosmic consciousness, is quite natural. It is our next evolutionary step.

So do I in the sense stated above. It is real.

To have a hope for a God is good. To have faith without facts is for fools.

If your belief is based on something then well and good. Let's have a look. Part of your duty would be to share your knowledge would it not?

Unfortunately, there are near as many Gnostic sects as Christian ones. Each must be judged by what he believes. People should also remember that Gnostics, like the Jews, did not read their scriptures literally. They were tools for discussion and seeking.

Gnostic scriptures, like all before and after, are take offs from older Egyptian and Sumerian myths.

Evil is the tool used to correct the thinking that such evil actually exists.

Correct the thinking, correct the evil.

This is true whether or not there is a God. If Christians could understand this, they might grow spiritually.

Let us thank God that most Christian believers do not really believe.
I think that applies to all religions.
There cannot possibly be that many stupid people in the world.

This and my personal experience tells me that most are just in it for culture and tradition.
