Bible Note: Hi ekletos, I'm still unclear as to your definition of "hermeticism." I see the definition of "hermetical" as: 1 often capitalized a : of or relating to the Gnostic writings or teachings arising in the first three centuries a.d. and attributed to Hermes Trismegistus b : relating to or characterized by occultism or abstruseness : recondite 2 [from the belief that Hermes Trismegistus invented a magic seal to keep vessels airtight] a : airtight (hermetic seal) b : impervious to external influence (trapped inside the hermetic military machine —Jack Newfield) c : recluse, solitary (leads a hermetic life) Biblically, I'm not making the connection. Could you elaborate? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
