Before I start... I wanted to say I have been always looked beyond our King James Version of the Bible seeking for knowledge in other written text, which is taboo in a lot of Christian beliefs. Right now I am reading the Nag Hammadi. Gnosis which mean knowledge. It is the lost knowledge of the early christian followers. Maybe giving more insight to the hidden mysteries to help cleanse my soul so that I may be a reflection of Christ and not a reflection of the world. I am careful and discern what is witnessing with my Spirit to be fact. Although we cannot understand the Spiritual side of things, since we are carnal, it helps me understand how accurate the words of Christ truly is.
Has anyone else read these lost books? Are there any believers out there that feel like they don't belong to the cookie cutter ways of modern day Chritianity? What I see and have read/researched is that Jesus came and died so that our sins may be forgiven, and that we are to walk according to his likeness and follow Him. To be a reflection. I also see that ALL has been fulfilled, even the book of Revelations that many think is yet to come. I see that many use the book of Revelation to strike fear in those who do not understand and lack the truth. To bring them in to a religious creed that can and is way off base of what the true gospel is. It leads the sheep away to be devoured by the false teachers/wolves.
There is only one path, one way that is straight and narrow.
