Is your God your color?

@Entwistle You know that as a fact, how?

You should try to be more accurate than lying theists.

@GnosticChristian Its my opinion. There is no evidence of a god. Nore us there any need for one.

@Entwistle You speak of a supernatural God only, I think.

If so, I agree.

If you are like 94% who think in a dualistic, body/spirit way, you will have what can be defined as God.

Relax. It is you.

Modern Gnostic Christians name our god "I am", and yes, we do mean ourselves.

You are your controller. I am mine. You represent and present whatever mind picture you have of your God or ideal human, and so do I.

The name "I Am" you might see as meaning something like, --- I think I have grown up thanks to having forced my apotheosis through Gnosis and meditation and “I am”, represents the best rules and laws that we have found to live by.

In Gnostic Christianity, we follow the Christian tradition that Christians have forgotten that they are to do. That is, become brethren to Jesus.

That is why some say that the only good Christian is a Gnostic Christian.

Here is the real way to salvation that Jesus taught.

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Allan Watts explain those quotes in detail.

Joseph Campbell shows the same esoteric ecumenist idea in this link.

The bible just plainly says to put away the things of children. The supernatural and literal reading of myths.

Gnosis enlightens adults.

@GnosticChristian Everything you said here is wrong. I dont believe any if that.

@Entwistle Likely only because you have foolishly bought into the supernatural. There was better thinking in the past.

But if you want to get specific in your blanket criticisms, I am here.

I hope you can see how intelligent the ancients were as compared to the mental efforts that modern preachers and theists are using with the literal reading of myths.

Further.

Rabbi Hillel, the older contemporary of Jesus, said that when asked to sum up the whole of Jewish teaching, while he stood on one leg, said, "The Golden Rule. That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the Torah. And everything else is only commentary. Now, go and study it."

Please listen as to what is said about the literal reading of myths.

"Origen, the great second or third century Greek commentator on the Bible said that it is absolutely impossible to take these texts literally. You simply cannot do so. And he said, "God has put these sort of conundrums and paradoxes in so that we are forced to seek a deeper meaning."

Matt 7;12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

This is how early Gnostic Christians view the transition from reading myths properly to destructive literal reading and idol worship.

@GnosticChristian It's all your own understanding. I haven't bought into anything supernatural.

@Entwistle Good.

Then your judgement was garbage.

Who is your God?

@GnosticChristian I have no god. I neither need nore desire one.

@Entwistle You do, but your thinking is likely too shallow.

This guy's poem I like, even though he is an idol worshiper himself.

Try this thinking. I helped my definitions and thinking grow.
