You could say to a mountain get up and move from there to hear and there is nothing you can't do. No way could you do it without the spark its just not possible. Constantine is the man (devil) that made sure this knowledge was hidden . Its all about the control of humanity. The Roman's were many things but not stupid . Amen.

    Have you heard of that famous theologian Michael Servetus ? He was a spanish Christian Tgeologian also known as Miguel Serveto . He was also a physician, cartographer, and Renaissance humanist. He was the first European to correctly describe the function of pulmonary circulation, as discussed in Christianismi Restitutio (1553). He was a polymath versed in many sciences: mathematics, astronomy and meteorology, geography, human anatomy, medicine and pharmacology, as well as jurisprudence, translation, poetry and the scholarly study of the Bible in its original languages.After carefully studying & researching He concluded that the Concept of Trinity is wrong & Jesus was not divine / God . He wrote books on this subject ; (1) Christianismi Restitutio (The Restoration of Christianity), ,(2) De Trinitatis Erroribus (On the Errors of the Trinity) ,(3) Dialogorum de Trinitate (Dialogues on the Trinity) and (4) De Iustitia Regni Christi (On the Justice of Christ's Reign). So He started preaching the Oneness of tge God & Jesus being not that one Gid but a Prophet of the God ( Islam) . The Christian Churches did not like it & accused Him of being Heretic & put Him on a drama unfair trial & BURNT HIM ALIVE WHILE PUT HIS BOOKS ARPUND HIM !! The Christian Churches gave a clear message to us ; if anyone expose their FALSE religion than they will do that to us . Tell me , is this love or TERRORISM ??!!

      Even if the theological concept of Trinity is wrong there is no way Jesus were a prophet of Islam. Islam it wasn't a thing until Muhammad. Also if Jesus is prophet of Islam then he is far more superior than Muhammad, because he is the Son of Allah, he was risen from the dead, he performed miracles etc.

      And you know that same beauty exists in the nihilism and self-humbling views of Buddhism/Taoism, where we no longer need a stronger party to aid us in our selfish endeavours because all desire is simply that: selfish.
      And once we learn of our inherent selfishness and constant fight for senseless desires, we become aware of our present situation with a sense of gratitude, less fixated on the impossibility of fixing what cannot be made to mend, and less inclined to be envious, less honour-killing prone, less belligerent to protect religious values, etc.
      For some reason, call it logic perhaps, I find that brings much more peace than spending an eternity with outspread arms, begging a cryptic God to answer our unanswerable prayers, justifying His silence with confirmation biases (He works in mysterious ways ...), and having to grapple with why God would value some lives and toss away others in order for His "Kingdom come" (for example, how he hardened the hearts of King Saul and the Egyptian Pharaoh when it was perfectly clear they never meant to cause harm to the ones they've loved but as explicitly detailed in the Bible were made to be the bad guys by God himself) --- does that bring peace to you?
      It never sat right with me that God could call himself compassionate and yet cause humans to undergo so much trauma and tragedy for His own glory (literally, killing His own Son so that people will see how graceful He is??? How about no intentional killing of anyone?) And what of Sarai, who was so desperate for a child that she allowed the copulation of her handmaiden Haigar and her 100 year old husband Abram, only to have her child-barren desperation lead to God cursing humanity with the still-ongoing blood war between Jews and Muslims begatten by the separation of half brothers Ishmael and Jacob. Does this truly bring you peace, may I ask?

    I'm very familiar with Gnosticism. The funny part about Irenaeus, the Greek Bishop is (besides his name sounding like the root origin of "erroneous" or even "ironic" ) if he wasn't so "gung ho" over trolling Gnosticism, no one would even be aware of Gnosticism. Kind of how the speaker gives Dan Brown a level of importance by mentioning The Di Vinci Code.

For people who want to understand the context and the time, and consider plausible truths, I think this doc is superior to many. Enjoy. ps "This world was created by a bloodthirsty rebel and a fool" (according to the Gnostic writings)...:)...well...that would certainly explain a lot, wouldn't it? #ProfessorErhman #CharmingSocialScientists #EvidencevsDogma #PlausibleTruth

    Gnostics resonate with the eastern philosophies/religions... where a Guru (realised soul) can initiate the student to “realise” the divine within, and so connect with the universal divine , and ultimately merge with the source. We regard Gnostics as holding the original SPIRITUAL message of Jesus .. which was lost with the romamized/politicicized/Paul-ean Christianity we see today.

    As an atheist, it annoys me when people use the word "agnostic" out of context. The colloquial definition is somebody who claims that we can not know and/or don't know about whether or not God exists, and what not. Obviously, the Gnostics were a very different group, and "agnostics" would thus be precisely the opposite, aka, everybody else.
    So the proper definition, without reference to the religious groups, as Brat suggests, would be Gnostic = possessor of hidden/secret knowledge, and Agnostic = not gnostic. The colloquial definition of agnostic is very misleading. So I avoid beating around the bush and just use "atheist," meaning "not theist."

    • @Baerchenization

      BlackEpyon Words mean what they mean, not what you construe them to be by way of analogy. How can you be mislead, since you have demonstrated that you know the actual meanings of the words? Also, before there can be an A-theist, A-gnostic, A-anything, there has to be a theist, gnostic, etc in the first place - so why do you start out with what "agnostic" means, and then claim gnostic, the word agonstic is derived from, is misleading? Confused much you are... Language is not static.

      +BlackEpyon The definition you hear from Bart in part two is so beautiful I adopted it for myself is: Agnostic is about knowing and if you admit you don't know if God exists. Atheism is about belief and if you don't believe that God exists. Bart says that because he is a scholar he prefers knowledge over belief so he identifies as agnostic. :)

    • @BlackEpyon
      @BlackEpyon 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      niv tom
      "Gnostic" was originally used to define a sect that ran parallel to ancient Judaism (and even crept it's way into Christianity in some denominations), who basically said that knowledge of the kingdom of heaven had to be revealed, it could not be learned. If you had to ask, you weren't in the know.
      I've almost certainly mis-characterized these guys, but the group is hard to pin down. Point is that the term "Gnostic," which you will notice that auto-correct always capitalizes, while intrinsically meant "having (hidden) knowledge" in reference to the hidden secrets of heaven, the context is different that what is used today.
      HOWEVER, this is beside the point. Who goes around asking if you KNOW if God exists? They always ask you if you BELIEVE, because in the faith, belief is more important than knowledge. Epistemologicaly, we are dealing with two different questions. Atheists who call themselves agnostics instead of atheist are dancing around the issue in an attempt to not seem as dogmatic as the religious claim we are. It pisses me off sometimes, because the religious go out of their way to claim that an atheist actively believes against God, and other such mischaracterizations.

    In India, there is a time for Christ's crucifixion (indeed) to be reconciled by a volunteer believer, who is crucified and crucified just as the Romans used to crucify those who were punished, according to a study that said the victim lived in a state of crucifixion usually around 12 hours.
    Hours so he would not die and recover. He's wounded, of course, but he will not die.
    ןn one place it is said that it was on the eve of Passover and elsewhere it is written that it was on the holiday, and in any case a senior close associate of Jesus turned to the Roman in charge and told him that the Jews should not be hanged and must be buried " "If it is on the eve of the holiday, it must be before the holiday begins, and if it is in the evening, a little late, but that evening.
    In all the options I mentioned above, it is not possible at any time that 11 hours have passed. From here it may be that he fainted but did not die. When the victim and his men took Jesus out of the cross and carried him to the burial cave, they knew from long experience of other crucifixions that the Romans had committed in their own citizens because Jesus might survive the short crucifixion.
    Jesus had many opponents and enemies among Roman rule and the rule of the rabbis. On the hierarchy order of both of them is threatened. And therefore the close associate blocked the cave in the rock, which showed all the "supposed abandonment of the corpse" and after the foreigners had left. The intimates returned to the cave and began to take care of Jesus until he awoke, and then they took him out of the cave and hid him elsewhere and then smuggled him away from the borders of the country from Judea and the Roman Empire. to fur west of Europe or Fur east of Assia or fur south of Africa. after his close family & friends secretly joined him. there are stories about jesus moved to India' or Ethiopia' Frence...
    They saw him after they thought he was dead. It was a time of loss of the way, there were a lot of prophets on their own behalf, and many messiahs who promised salvation and were killed by the Romans, the Romans were rude, replacing the High Priest with a man who had just executed his brother. The situation was all the deep religious pangs of Hasidim and Tamim, and they believed that he had come back for a brief visit from the other world.
    The amount of hope The motivation and energy that this story has infused into the souls and bodies of its followers and of all who have heard it has been and still is so enormous that it holds them and their successors throughout the generations to this day.

    So Gnosticiam is seemingly in relation to, the akashic record. Interesting, how so many things line up, with slightly different explanations, of the same thing. It also lines up with the translation of the annunaki. Which is a bit different, saying that the creators of man aka enki, is the good one while the current leader of earth is the bad one. And it says they have a ruler over them, which is the one who sent them here... So there are similarities, and differences. Makes it even more confusing. Cause there are similarities and differences with Hindu and Egyptian religions too. Hmmm even if you go into religions from the Americas and basically with all these religions, it leads to our spirit transcending after our bodies die.
