Re: No Such Thing as Christian Gnosticism

why do people have so much trouble with reality? jesus is the truth because he is real. dont you realize just how fake people are? all this religious stuff is fake too.

how does one remedy sin? easy, by recognizing it for what it is. by being open about it. thats why confession is necessary. it breaks the sin of adam, which is the biggest problem. there is no voodoo. no magic spell. no great priest to give us penance to do. we have each other. we have the feedback from one another. we can do it all with what we have before us.

this is why i am mindful of all things but i dont force any behavior. if i am not being real when being godly, what the hell is it good for? and this is where i really get a kick out of the hypocrites. they clean up their language first like they have really accomplished something. but its just pretend. oh sure, you stay at anything long enough and you can create a habit. if its a good habit you will get some good benefit from it. but it doesnt change anything. it doesnt change who you are. it doesnt produce repentance. thats right, behaviour is no sign of repentance. fruit is. repentance is a literal change of mind. repentance bears fruit. facades dont.

and as usual they have it all backwards and upside down. the bible says the tongue is the LAST member of the fleshly body to come under submission. i dont give a shit what i say. the day my language tightens up, i will know the rest of the flesh is in line. until then, f*** it. but hey, at least its real enough to me that its governing my life. i have a plan. its the bible. and its as real as real can be.
