Thanks for the article, Pil!

And you are right about Gnosticism having so many more names today. I actually just spoke to one this morning (Christian Scientist). It was the second time I'd talked to her, and probably the last. The first, I talked about the death of Christ and why it would be cruel of God is sin didn't actually exist and if God wasn't holy. This time, I asked a more philosophical question- why do you have to eat if matter isn't real? The answer I got was, "Well, I can't answer such a deep theological question, but if you have to eat, that's fine. Maybe some day you'll have a revelation that you don't have to eat." I told her she should try not eating, and she just laughed. Of course, thinking back on it, 'm afraid she might try because of how seriously they take the no-medication thing.


True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
