Subject: Does the Father have a God? |
Bible Note: I have studied the affect of Gnosticism on Christianity in the early 2nd and 3rd centuries, along with other influences. Because those that translated the known manuscripts into Greek, Latin, and then English came after this influence, there is a good probability of Gnostic influence in the translations. The key is letting the Scriptures interpret themselves, speak for themselve and hopefully losing that Gnostic influence. |
