Agreed! He is the truth, the way and the life! TR I was giving kudo's to the sharing of your knowledge with us all! TR Yes. Amen. I was and am agreeing with you. :good: Good thread! Much appreciate the information. Here is an article talking about the Mark of the Beast. Within it is a good description of Gnosticism and why it is an excellent candidate as the One World Religion. The Gnostic Lie—Inversion of the Truth Gnosticism lies at the heart of the false Babylonian religious system—the system that is being revived (reborn) in its ultimate form for the tribulation period. It will be embodied by the one-world religion. Again, there is nothing new under the sun. You can trace Gnosticism all the way back to the Garden, where the serpent subtly whispered his lie to Eve. Gnosticism is predicated on seven false tenets: God Is Not the Supreme & Absolute Deity God Is Actually Evil & Capricious God has Enslaved Man within His Arbitrary System of Punitive Laws God Enjoys Punishing & Toying with Man—He Is Unloving and Devoid of Compassion & Mercy Satan Is Equal to God and the “Good” Deity—Who Loves Man and Understands His Plight Satan Bestows Hidden Knowledge to Man in order to Free Him from the Cage God has Imprisoned Man In Satan—with Enlightened Man—Will Overthrow (Defeat) God in the End In other words, it is the inversion of the truth and a cunningly wicked lie (deception) from the father of lies—Satan. As we asserted in our article Mystery Babylon—One-World Great Harlot Religion Arising, this belief permeates Hollywood and the entertainment industry, which is largely controlled by the prince of this world, Lucifer. Furthermore, as we established in the introduction, we must recognize that we are in a spiritual war… and that war presents each of us with a binary option: Serve God or serve Satan. Satan doesn’t care what you believe—as long as it’s not God. All the religions and “isms” of this world are his. He doesn’t care if you are a Buddhist, Hindu, or Mormon. He doesn’t care if you believe in naturalism, relativism, or humanism. They are all false religions birthed by Satan’s false (Gnostic) religious system. That’s why God calls the emerging one-world religious system Mystery Babylon and describes her as “Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth” (Revelation 17:5). And that’s why God declares that she is “full of names of blasphemy” (Revelation 17:3)—they are the names of all those false religions and “isms” that she gave birth to. If you are not worshipping and serving the true God, then you belong to Lucifer and are serving in his spiritual army. https://wickedprepping.com/pharmaceuticals-the-great-sorcery-deception-of-the-beast/ Here is a fascinating article that explains how darwinianism is actually gnostic in origin and is not scientific at all. Even Nazism, Communism and Transhumanism are all gnostic in origin. All poisonous fruits from the same corrupt tree. With the publication of The Da Vinci Code and the release of the Matrix films, Gnosticism has experienced a cultural revival in the West. Is the rise of Gnostic thinking simply a fleeting trend, like the outrageous clothing that Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera wear one day and never don again? Perhaps. Yet, it is interesting to note that the popularization of Darwinian evolution preceded Gnosticism’s ascendancy in the West. The significance of this fact becomes evident when one reads the words of Dr. Wolfgang Smith: “As a scientific theory, Darwinism would have been jettisoned long ago. The point, however, is that the doctrine of evolution has swept the world, not on the strength of its scientific merits, but precisely in its capacity as a Gnostic myth. It affirms, in effect, that living beings created themselves, which is in essence a metaphysical claim… Thus, in the final analysis, evolutionism is in truth a metaphysical doctrine decked out in scientific garb. In other words, it is a scientistic myth. And the myth is Gnostic, because it implicitly denies the transcendent origin of being; for indeed, only after the living creature has been speculatively reduced to an aggregate of particles does Darwinist transformism become conceivable. Darwinism, therefore, continues the ancient Gnostic practice of depreciating ‘God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth.’ It perpetuates, if you will, the venerable Gnostic tradition of ‘Jehovah bashing.’ And while this in itself may gladden Gnostic hearts, one should not fail to observe that the doctrine plays a vital role in the economy of Neo-Gnostic thought, for only under the auspices of Darwinist ‘self-creation’ does the Good News of ‘self-salvation’ acquire a semblance of sense.” (242-43) https://www.conspiracyarchive.com/2014/01/16/the-gnostic-myth-of-darwinism/comment-page-1/ Here is an eight part series that thoroughly explains gnosticism. I found it to be quite informative. His reasons for writing this are given: The recent propensity to compromise with pseudo-Christian cults is deadly. It should be obvious by now that the modern explosion of new and various cults is in reality a revival of ancient Gnosticism. Some are more overtly Gnostic than others. By now the reader should easily be able to recognize the Gnostic nature of Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Science, Scientology, Unity, etc. I believe in that he has succeeded. However, as a word of caution, in part eight, some of his conclusions are not correct. In conclusion 4 he seems to believe in baptismal regeneration which is false. In conclusion 5 he rejects the biblical teaching of eternal security. With that word of caution in mind, enjoy: https://rayoflight2020.data.blog/2021/08/12/introduction-to-gnosticism/ Lighthouse Trails is a trustworthy source that I have benefited from for many years. This is an excellent article on how the neo-gnostics have infiltrated the church and polluted it with their false teachings. The New Gnostics in Today’s Church
