Are there perhaps shades, variations, or traces of ancient Gnosticism alive today, masked by other names? --Hank | ||||||
2 | Gnosticism still alive? | NT general Archive 1 | Gail60 | 7869 | ||
Two specific verses came to mind when I read this question: Daniel 12:4 - But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 2 Timothy 3:7 - Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Obviously knowledge has increased greatly in this age. It is the age of information. But it hasn't helped the World come any closer to God. The whole New Age movement reminds me of Gnosticism: the idea that man is somehow evolving, learning, and becoming enlightened until they reach some spiritual plateau. Angels or "astral beings" (aka spiritual guides) are also lifted up. I believe that "Christian Science" also elevates "knowledge" more than truth. |
