Gnosis: The mystery which hath been hidden away from the ages and from the generations

Gnosis: The mystery which hath been hidden away from the ages and from the generations

In the New Testament which was originally written in Greek, we find the Greek words gnôsis (knowledge) and sophia (wisdom) often written together and reoccurring many times in association with the words “treasure (Greek: thēsaurízō) and secret mysteries.”

St. Paul, who was then writing to the Greeks or Hellenistic Jews ie: Gnostics at the time would use phraseology that was familiar to the initiated such as when he calls the gospel “a mystery,” which is “hidden from the natural understanding and from the previous searchings of men” (1 Corinthians 2:6-16). He emphasizes the notion of secrecy in its proclamation (comp. 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:6); and “mystery is the correlate of revelation.”

Some of the early Christian Fathers who were collectively known as The Ante-Nicene Fathers had said that when Paul speaks of “treasures”, he is talking about knowledge (gnosis) and of hidden wisdom. In Volume 9, they proclaim;

“Apostles would have said this, too, as well as Paul. As for the text, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us,” we interpret it in this way.

By “treasures” we understand here, as in other passages, the treasure of knowledge (gnosis) and of hidden wisdom.”

The Ancient Gnostic mysteries were what can be called the Greek Athenian and Hellenistic Jewish mysteries that were secret religious doctrines and rites made known only to initiated persons, who formed various associations and schools. Some of the most sacred were the Gnostic mysteries near the city of Knossos on Crete and what is known as the Eleusis mysteries near Athens in Greece.

It was said that the mystical doctrines ascribed to Pythagoras were propagated by various secret societies, which were readily adopted by the Church of Alexandria whose goal was to expand Judaism using a secret symbolical and allegorizing method into a one world universal religious system.

The inner Gnostic mysteries would be veiled from the unenlightened (or uninitiated) fellow believers.

The English word mystery is derived from the Greek word μυστήριον, which means a “secret”, or knowledge (gnosis) kept hidden or covered ie: the unrevealed. Paul would have used the term to describe the secret doctrines of Gnosis that were to remain hidden until the apocalypse in order to uncover them.

In Colossians 1:26, Paul had said, “the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.” In his Epistles, he uses the term “mystery” 21 times such as “The mystery which hath been hidden away from the ages and from the generations (Ephesians 2:2, 3; Ephesians 3:5, 9; Romans 16:25, 26; Romans 11:25, 26, 33).

The word “mystery” plays a large part in Colossians and Ephesians and it occurs in 1 Corinthians, and twice in the Roman Epistle, written from Corinth. Its use in Romans 16:25 is identical with that of the passage before us. ”

“In whom (not as Alford, ‘in which’) mystery; Christ is Himself the ‘mystery’ (Col 2:2; 1Ti 3:16), and to Christ the relative refers) are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Gnosis) hidden.

This is the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden.

This wisdom refers to how man’s redemption is truly accomplished which is through the secret doctrine of Gnosis.

In his Epistles to the Corinthians, Paul calls himself an idiot — a person unskilful in the Word, but not in the gnosis. Paul says, “We speak wisdom among the perfect or initiated. Not the wisdom of this world, nor of the archons of this world, but divine wisdom in a mystery, secret—which none of the Archons of this world knew.”

By revelation, Paul received the secret (μυστήριον) Gnosis.

Gladys Knight says Whitney Houston was so gifted Satan was working her big time

Gladys Knight says Whitney Houston was so gifted Satan was working her big time

Music legend, Gladys Knight recently announced that her friend Whitney Houston was corrupted by Satan.

Speaking with the BBC Radio, the iconic soul singer said, “To be very honest with you, I had not heard a talent like that. I mean, oh my God, what an awesome gift she had.

And because she was so gifted Satan was working her big time.

“She was my girl. She was beautiful, she was talented. I had people in my family who had gone that way, so it hurt me more to see.

“It was just little Whitney you know? Little Whitney – what are you doing? I didn’t know she was in that deep and that one really got me. That one really, really got me.”

Whitney Houston was found dead in her bathtub in 2012 after falling asleep in her bathtub and drowning. The autopsy later showed cocaine, marijuana and prescription medication in her system.

Whitney’s public battle with her drug use, demons and even the fallen angel, Satan have well documented.

Her ex-husband, singer Bobby Brown was married to Whitney for almost 15 years. After her death, he came out publicly about their extensive drug use and life of debauchery.

Bobby’s sister, Tina Brown, had said that Whitney Houston had regularly said she saw demons and was convinced Satan regularly beat her black and blue.

In 2012, Tina Brown told the media, “She was always convinced that demons were out to get her when she was high.

“On one occasion she told me she was staring at the face of the devil himself…but it was her reflection.

“She stared at cracks in cups, saucers, mugs and plates and said she saw demonic lips.

“She saw demons everywhere.”

In 2012, Donal Trump told HLN Showbiz News that Whitney Houston had demons.

Kayne West purchased a picture of  Whitney Houston’s bathroom littered with drug paraphernalia earlier this year for a reported $500,000 to use as the artwork for Pusha-T’s album.

Wife kills demonologist husband by spraying him with mold killer and …

Wife kills demonologist husband by spraying him with mold killer and …

An apparent wanna-be bikini model mom had allegedly killed her demon hunter husband and then threw his body away like trash along a roadside in New South Wales, Australia.

The accused murderer, Raquel Hutchinson said that she “killed her husband to save children because he was a demonologist, exorcist and ghost hunter.” Her accomplices were an ex-lover and another man.

The Crown prosecutor, Margaret Cunneen said in court that a nine-year-old boy had witnessed Hutchison push her husband Bret down the stairs and spray his face with mold stain remover “Exit Mould.”

 

Yeah, you read that right – fricken mold killer!!

The boy later saw the man lying down in the bush bleeding before the victim’s body with his wife crouched near him screaming: “Confess or I’ll kill you.”

Text messages between the killers were presented as evidence showing a discussion between Hutchison and Wilkinson asking is the mold killer would act like mace.

And one of them texted: “S*** c***s always win except when someone stops them.”

The next day of Bret’s murder, Hutchison texted he ex-lover Wilkinson: “Game on, we man up”.

The Crown Prosecutor told the court that after the alleged killing, Ms. Hutchinson told a friend: “I’m fucked. I need help. We bashed him and we tied him up.”

Attorneys for Hutchison’s claimed that she was trying to save the children and that she was “mentally deficient” and suffered from a borderline personality order, post-traumatic stress disorder from her childhood and depression.

After the alleged murder, she told a psychiatrist: “He wasn’t supposed to die. I wanted him to go to jail.”

I think we need to ask ourselves who was protecting who from who here? Meaning, her husband was a demonologist and ghost hunter and she ended up committing what some may consider one of the most demonic or monstrous acts any person can commit which is cold-blooded murder ie: the killing of an innocent human.

Perhaps, Ms. Huchinson’s husband’s knowledge of demons threatened the evil demon or maybe it was just the Ego inhabiting her body. A jealous and murderous creature who eventually showed its vile nature when her husband got too close to the truth.

During the modern plague, we will see more and more of this crazy demonic behavior.

Alex Jones is back on Youtube, Facebook and Apple iTunes

Alex Jones is back on Youtube, Facebook and Apple iTunes

Alex Jones just announced, “Fantastic News! CNN Announces Infowars To Be Reinstated To Facebook, Google, YouTube, And Apple.”

You can watch the archived version of the broadcast at this link on Periscope

This news comes out even after a nationwide poll showed 61 percent of registered voters surveyed believed Jones, who spreads unfounded conspiracy theories through his radio show Infowars, should be banned from the sites of tech companies, while 39 percent disagree, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released exclusively to The Hill.

Early in August, the conspiracy was on Jones when Google’s YouTube collaborated with Facebook and Apple in banning Alex Jones from their networks.

After the ban, Apple formally said in a statement, “Apple does not tolerate hate speech,” the company said in a statement. “We believe in representing a wide range of views, so long as people are respectful to those with differing opinions.”

Facebook said, “We believe in giving people a voice, but we also want everyone using Facebook to feel safe. It’s why we have community standards and remove anything that violates them, including hate speech that attacks or dehumanizes others.”

Satan Was Baptized a Christian

Satan Was Baptized a Christian

Most Christians would be surprised to find out that who they have been told is one of the evilest angels to ever live, Satan was also a “Baptized Christian.”

Meaning, that he was a person and a Christian sinner just like you, me and the Christians you both love and hate.

As I have written before, we know that the Church Fathers had bestowed the title of Satan on a certain Samaritan man named Simon Magus by Church Fathers. In the Scripture, he is also known as a type of angel called a cherub and legal prosecutor for God who became the defacto God and Prince of this World.

Before the advent of Christianity and the first Apostilistic mission or the Church, Simon was well known in Samaria and all throughout the Roman Kingdom as a High Priest and he was even honored as a God. His religion was primarily that of Gnosticism, as the Church Fathers also labeled him the First Gnostic.

We find that Simon, who we also know as Satan was converted to Christianity in Acts he is portrayed as a famous sorcerer in Samaria who was “baptized by Philip the Evangelist” (Acts viii. 5-24) and “followed Philip everywhere.” (Acts 8:13)

We are told that Simon baptized with water and also added fire by lighting above the head of the baptized a light flame of naphtha from Lake Asphaltis, to fulfill the Baptist’s prediction of Christ’s baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire.

It was said that Simon’s speaking of “the power of the Holy Ghost” as ” purchasable commodities ” is subsequent to his baptism. Then it is written that “He then was an apostate from the faith on the profession of which he was baptized.”

Simon Magus was a magician who was later baptized as a Christian. In this passage, Luke does not explicitly say whether Simon Magus was a true convert or not. At the beginning of the narrative, Luke says that “Even Simon himself believed” (Acts 8:13).

But towards the end, Peter condemns Simon:

“May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money! You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God” (8:20 -21). After Simon Magus requests Peter to pray for him, the story of Simon Magus end and he is never mentioned in Scripture again.

The biblical account concludes with Simon’s/Satans repentance and apparent reconciliation with Christianity after his condemnation by St. Peter.

For the Apostle Paul had said, “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-14)

“They went out from us, but were not of us;” and whom Peter (2 Pet. ii. 4, 14) charges with false doctrine and licentiousness. Next, we find Clement (i. 14), say to his readers to “follow God rather than those who, through pride and sedition, have become the leaders of a detestable emulation.”

Polycarp also (Ep. to Phil. ch. vii.) says, “Whosoever does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh (the Docetae holding the sentiments of Simon), is antichrist; and whosoever perverts the oracles of the Lord to his own lusts, is the first-born of Satan.” Hermas (Pash. ch. vi.) says, “The motheaten branches are the apostates and traitors of the church, who have blasphemed the Lord in their sins.”
