In short, Gnosticism is a "Christian" form of Satanism. It wears a veneer of "Christianity" on the surface, but in theology and practice it more resembles faiths inspired by the god of this world, not the God of the Bible. There are several members now embedded in this community who not only espouse but practice this religion, and they have effectively changed the tenor of this website, turning the atmosphere here from one governed by the Spirit of a Holy and Pure God into an unclean, unholy and ungodly one.
Proponents of this faith also practice witchcraft, and I have lost a dear friend in dream ministry to these people already. They know who they are, and while I am not bitter or resentful over it, I have to say that they should be ashamed of themselves for what they have done. She was a sweet and kind soul who was simply trying to operate in a gift the True God of Heaven and earth gave her to help others. Instead she has been driven completely from the ministry because they have used witchcraft to deliberately tamper with her dreams, and cause her so much stress that she has now left the forums altogether, and wants nothing to do with her calling any more.
Over the next several days, weeks, and months, I will be exposing this Satanic religion and revealing it for what it truly is: Evil. In the process, however, I will not be condemning those I know who are practicing it. Such souls are likewise deceived, and may honestly think they are serving the "true" Christian faith. They are not, but are being held captive in their minds by evil spirits, who have seduced them into believing lies. They need deliverance and mercy, just as those they have so badly wronged likewise do.
For Part 1, I will cover some of the main surface characteristics you will see from people who espouse this faith, and keep in mind again, these are not all "bad" people. They need Jesus, and they need to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the True living God and the true faith that alone can save them from judgment.
But here is one of the primary doctrines you will see them espouse: They transform the Biblical concept of "grace" into a license to sin. They are against God's laws as they pertain to morality, especially sexual morality, and they will argue against any "arbitrary" rules prohibiting such. If you espouse to traditional Christian morality, they will criticize you for being "judgmental" of them by trying to point it out.
This religion actually has its origins in New Testament times, and as I will cover, the early church had to deal with it as well. In simplest terms, Gnosticism is a rebellion against the Old Testament God. They profess to follow "Jesus," but they are in fact following "a different Jesus" than the Jesus preached by the apostles. They teach that He is not the son of the Old Testament God but a different god, and that the Old Testament God is in reality an evil and tyrannical being, bent only on controlling others unfairly and unnecessarily.
Again, this is why they transform "grace" into a license to sin. The New testament writers spoke of this in several places. Paul said one place:
¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. ¹³ Neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin... Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid! ¹⁶Know not that to whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Romans 6:12-16).
Another passage is found in Jude, where he specifically testified to this evil and sinful religion infiltrating the church during his time, and why he felt the need to expose it:
Beloved, applying all diligence to write to you concerning our common salvation, I had need to write to you exhorting you to lay stress upon that faith originally delivered to the saints. For certain men crept in, those of old having been proscribed unto this condemnation: They are "ungodly men," now translating the grace of God into sexual licentiousness, and disowning the Only Master and our Lord Jesus Christ. (Jude 1:1-4)
Again, the word "licentiousness" simply means giving license to sin, in a way in which the True Christian faith and True Christian teaching did not.
I will be posting in much more detail on this subject in the future, as it is a teaching that sends naive souls to Hell today just as it was doing in New Testament times, and must therefore be exposed.
Blessings in Christ to those who read these words.
