"True"
Gnostic Christianity is an objective body of knowledge that Jesus
taught. It is not a mystery religion or heretical cult. Gnostic Christianity
teaches a non-judgemental "process" of reasoning. This new
process, is justified by a natural principle that Jesus revealed and
contemporary physics demonstrates is a scientific fact. Combining
non- judgemental reasoning with the current judgemental process, expands
our consciousness of reality. In this enlightened consciousness we
are personally empowered to resolve all problems and as Paul said
"live the good life as from the beginning He [God] had meant
us to live it." (Eph 2:10)
Evidence
that Jesus taught a process of reasoning that could expand consciousness
surfaces in Jn 8:31-32 jbv, where he says, "If you make my
word your home
you will learn the truth and the truth will
set you free [word or will of God is the English translation of
the Greek term logos, which refers to the logic or reasoning of
God]." And in Rm 12:2 (rsv) Paul said "do not be conformed
to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind..."
The Gnosis, or reasoning process, that Gnostic Christianity introduces, does not contradict Jesus' spiritually-centered public teachings. It documents what scholars refer to as Jesus' oral or logos/logic tradition, which he taught in private (Mk 4:33-34). These teachings elevate our reasoning mind to that of the will/reasoning of God. In this renewed mind, our reasoning supports spiritual values. This is the truth that can set us free. For when mind and spirit seek the same ends (syzygy) doing "on earth as it is in heaven" will no longer be an idealistic goal, it will be a practical reality. (Matt 6:10)
