Welcome my fried! This is not ahr - There are so many discussions I would love to explore there but - I have been censored for preaching a theology - not necessarily focused upon learning Ancient Hebrew Grammar. AND they are correct, esoteric Gnostic cosmology is not their focus This is a much more open discussion - you are correct 'keep it polite' But disagree all you want - fight with us if you choose - debate can and do get heated, but that's OK - why? Although the aim is always to keep it casual - we are ultimately discussing those things that define our own conscious and perspective. Fighting to understand a concept is different than just disagreeing. Gnosticism - personally I embrace so much more information from a much larger data set than either - the OT only, NT only, OT+NT only, Coptic or Roman or Islam. God's plan is not for the Hebrews only It doesn't morph into a Roman Gentile only thing either God's plan is a global plan, it is a galactic plan - this includes a lot more than just the Middle East or the Western Roman Christendom - ALL Creation witnesses to the Lord - period. Hi Dave, thanks for the welcome. I am a mystic and have written quite a lot around that sort of topic over the years. Do you accept this type of topic on your forum? Thanks Alan

There is only ONE WAY in which everything happenedAll points to the Creator and that "ONE WAY" in which everything happened Scripture points to that 'ONE WAY' Religion (different than scripture) points to that 'ONE WAY' Science points to that 'ONE WAY' Sacred Geometry points to that 'ONE WAY' Metaphysics points to that 'ONE WAY' Even Satanism points to that 'ONE WAY' We discuss it all - teach us

God cannot be for the Hebrews only.
Remember Melchizedek? Wasn't he a priest of the Lord? Before there was Israel?

YES - and more than two Zoroasterian Magi help announce the birth of Christ.

I see evolution as the work of an Experimenting God?

... an Experimenting God? I have also said this in the past, but refrain from using this type of vocabulary today. I preach to a science crowd - there vocabulary means everything. Experimentation implies that the experimentor does not know how the answer of the experiment before the experiment is complete. Many experiments do not work and some experiments actually yield counter evidence. This vocabulary limits God's abilities - robs Him of His omnipotence Today, I embrace this Gnostic vocabulary“… Now all these things came to pass by the will of the father of the entirety … it was by the will of the father of the entirety that they all came into being - after the pattern of all the things above - so that the sum of chaos might be attained.” Robinson, James M., 1990, The Nag Hammadi Library, Hypostasis of the Archon, pg. 168, Harper, San Francisco, CA
