In July I had a another series of spiritual "news" from this new personal relationship with Father, Father Jesus, as God identified Itself to me at the end of last year, ending 28 years of a Christian without Jesus relationship. It was a Gnostic one in which I found and followed God's wisdom through indirect gnosis, lot's of visions and revelations but not Jesus talking with me as my other Christian friends experienced with their "personal relationships" with Him. For me it was God, no Jesus, and therefore I was pretty well convinced "Jesus Christ" was not an authentic Spirit of God but a man-made construct and people who had a relationship with this made-made construct were just fooling themselves. Then God corrected me..well, sort of..still got the gnostic heretical viewpoint but now Father Jesus talks with me whenever I ask for guidance which makes me very careful now what I ask.
Has there been a Gnostic Christian discussion section here before? I would like to share the new stuff I've just recently learned these past two months that now unites the New Testament Gospels with Thomas for me-they are both talking about the same thing which is the Kingdom of God that One with Creation and humanity.
3) Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
When you know, really know, why it was said humanity is made in the image of God, and why Jesus said, "I and My Father are one", Creation takes on a whole different dimension. It's not easily seen or even less comprehended, I can see the Gospel of John in answer to Thomas, a division in the Christian gnostic ranks between those who believed Creation good and the Father good, and those who believed Creation was the botched job of an inferior god and best avoided as much as possible. I am of course firmly straddling the fence between both camps.
