Are we really “Born in SIN”?

[DoubleClutch]

Interesting debate.



I wonder what the Coli thinks about the concept.

only in religion

 

[the cac mamba]

it's refreshing to be off other people's fairytales

in 4th grade, you were taught that greeks were making it all up, right? and you had zero fear of being punished by greek gods? but christianity is real?

It's so hilarious to see Christianity adopt so many philosophies from Gnosticism which predates Christianity. The modern day Christian tries to distance themselves from it, but it's so obvious

Gnosticism has their own version of "being born in SIN"

People regardless of color shouldn’t pray to ANY religious figure or idol.

Only GOD

this

and its beyond gnosticism its manichaeism which at its core has always tried to paint the physical world as fundamentally evil as basically anything attached to it as that

Manichaeism - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

whereas the God of Israel said that the first two qualities of reality as we know it were "formlessness" and his breath moving over the waters.

Genesis 1:2 Hebrew Text Analysis

then there was light, firmaments etc...

might need to do some additional research there, breh...

gnosticism was nominally influenced by early christianity...it was predominantly influenced by platonic ideals which some could argue have similarities to christian ideals, but they'd be basing that on extremely superficial similarities...platonism, and by extension gnosticism, are markedly dissimilar to christianity, especially its core tenets and principles...

Saw that on the front page of Google right? I did too lol

Like I said Christians for centuries have been trying to distance themselves from Gnosticism since it's origin. Just like they first embraced the teachings of St Augustine the Hippo then when it was found out that he mirrored Gnostic philosophies, abandoned him

And all Christianity/Gnosticism teachings were influenced by Hermeticism and Neo-Platonism, which modern day Christian would consider "Pagan"
