Jesus didn't mean to limit knowledge. And I think you know this.
Are you gnostic?
I think you may have nailed it, GG. I knew there was something familiar in what JBF was posting. I remember arguing with a modern gnostic (a number of years ago, now). I found that man's posts to be a bit chilling actually, as he said that soon he and his ilk would be taking over Christianity and righting what was done to "his" people. He went on and on about the Cathars and how the RCC wiped them out. He said they would be getting revenge through their people within the Vatican who would be working, at the highest levels, to "correct" the doctrine of the RCC.
It seems that there has been something of a revival of gnosticism since WWII. There are, I suspect, a lot of gnostics among the elites (many of whom are outright Satanists). Occultist, Madame Helena Blavatsky cited gnosticism as a way to fight orthodox Christianity. There are reportedly gnostic groups who support "gnostic bishops". These "bishops" go about trying to convince religious leaders of their "superior" doctrine. They pretend to be conventional, orthodox Christians--all the while seeking to subvert orthodoxy. Gnostics teach the "perfectibility" of a gnostic here on earth, and that one can be elevated to that position through some kind of mystical ceremony. Their beliefs are heretical and are fought against by using the example of the Apostle Paul having to rebuke the Apostle Peter for being a hypocrite, in the account recorded in Galatians 2. JBF argued with me on that point. The hypocrisy comes through very clearly in the NLT--in fact, precisely that word is used. The Epistles are difficult to understand in the KJV--probably why JBF promotes it.
