Bible Question: My friend 1 time told me about something to do with christians called gnostic. It's where you pray to God every day to send someone called your divine mother, and the week or however long you have to pray, youy can't have 1 bad thought, or any 1 sin. Has anyone heard of it? |
Bible Answer: Gnostics believe in God as a spirit and Jesus Christ was a man who died who had the Christ spirit on him. Gnostics believe that when Jesus died the Christ spirit left him and went to other persons including Mohammed, Buddha, even gurus and many other spiritual leaders. True Christians know that Jesus Christ is the one and only true "light of the world." Jesus rose from the dead and will indwell you through the Holy Spirit if you ask Him to come into your life, confessing your need for a Savior from your sins and acknowledging His death on the cross for you. Accept His love! For strength against temptation we pray to God the Father through His son Jesus Christ and rely on His Holy Spirit (not a divine mother). By accepting Jesus' death on the cross for us, we have benefited from His crucifixion and therefore also His resurrected life. Romnas 6:6-7 "..knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we woud no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin." Our old self has no power over us to sin as we continually remind ourselves by faith, that the sinful self was nailed to the cross and we are now slaves to righteousness. Some have said that we must remember Romans 6:11 "Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus." By faith we see ourselves as dead to sin even but alive to do the things of God. |
