Just want to clarify these 2 greek terms. Gnosis is Strongs greek #1108 Means knowledge, but not as we understand knowledge in english.
GnosticISM refers specifically to the wide ranging 2nd C sects surrounding Alexandria Egypt
When christians see the word that Paul uses in his letters gnosis for knowledge, they tend to associate the term with
Gnosticism
2 completely different concepts.
Paul had nothing in common with sects. Paul's revelations came from God.
Just wanted to update these 2 not known ideas.
As in the future , as more and more christians begin cracking their studies in greek/Strongs etc, you will see this word come up in discussions.
Do NOTTT push the **Heresy/Heretic* panin button.
Do not listen to old style protesatnst who know nothing of the greek and see this word being discussed as **ahh so its here, the old gnostics are back**
Thats a lie.
AS we begin to explore the original greek, this critical word will become more often express/discussed.
Now I agree Paul's gnosis does in fact confront and condemn the sect we call **protestantism**.
bc gnosis is against religion,
Religion is man made.
vs Yeshua's Kingdom which is given by God.
,, short story,, I atempted to join another christianforum,,, and used the tag GnosticPaul.
My request was answered
**Unfortunately we do not allow gnosticISM on this site, Your membership is blocked Thanks and God Bless you**

Not even a chance to explain,, so here with this forum I got smartER,
Since my life now in older age is less and less about me, and much more concerns Yeshua. = YeshuaGlory came toi mind.
I'm glad God did it this way,, as we know, Paul says **knowledge((can tend to )) PUFFS UP* = Inflates the ego = Fall before pride will surely result.
