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)

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:

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.
