Thanks for this info and I will delve into it.
I don't feel that gnostic accurately reflects my sentiments. I also do not believe the world was created by a lesser divinity. I do challenge the King James bible and terms such as "Lord" or the use of the personal name of God being Yahweh. I'm of the opinion that these words depict a second entity to which we are mislead into believing to be the Creator. God is. There is no personal name to be associated, that name is given by the deceiver, to convince us that he is the supreme being, as is the term Lord, (as in a master ie, Landlord) Heavenly Father also fits into the duality and misdirection.
There is one God and the way to him through Christ is accendance in spirit and truth. Our own power is a part of that truth and God wants this for us. Man in seek of the power to control us, distracts us through dogma, symbolism and doctrine. God's word is pure and can only be truth. No man has a place between us and God. So if scripture has been manipulated for the goal of securing power, we then must listen to our hearts for the spirit of truth, all the while being aware that there is a battle for our soul.
