About this ebook

In these days of the " higher criticism," with its merciless analysis of original Scripture, much light would doubtless be thrown on the New Testament by an unprejudiced study of Gnosticism. This philosophy, which reached a flourishing maturity in the second century of the Christian era, but became virtually extinct in the sixth, taught that all natures — intellectual, moral, spiritual, and material—are successive emanations from Deity. Its professors claimed to have an esoteric and philosophic knowledge of Christian doctrines, and some modern scholars assert that the Gospels are replete with allusions to the Gnostic teaching. Although it is now fashionable to dismiss the Syrian and Egyptian schools as a fantastic combination of Oriental mysticism, Greek philosophy, and Christian theology, yet it is probable that a profound interest will be awakened among reasoning Christians by " Pistis Sophia."

Ratings and reviews

One could EASILY QUOTE SCRIPTURE upon scripture from the "King James Version" right beside version after renewed version to show [some previous reviewer] not as just a blind fool but in fact an agent of EVIL themself. There are enough people asking us to close our eyes, open our mouths, and swallow. There are too many people telling us NOT to think, not to educate ourselves. It's an apple after all, right? We are supposed to ask those in position to decide how to serve and what to think. Do not speak of the obvious before the locally approved at risk of eternal torment, fire and brimstone, damnation to HELL, and even death. Eternal life is only a reward for good service to the Master, I mean, what's so hard about that? So don't read alone if you can have you Pastor do it for you. If you get any crazy ideas that your reading something SO OBVIOUSLY different from what people are talking about, you can at least know that there's a devil in there that you can blame for all of it... right?

Gnosticism twists Christianity upside down and makes satan the good guy & YHWH evil. Do not be decieved. If u want to understand God then all u need is in the Bible. Preferably KJV. Gnosticism will lead u to hell.

Eye opening! (..and a MUCH cheaper alternative to the 30$ Gnostic Bible)
