There are two [deceptions] that
serve Lucifer's purpose.
The first is to
cast doubt on God's Word,
to twist and change it to mean
something entirely different
from what God originally
intended.
The second tactic is
to convince us that we have the right,
the ability, and the power within us
to become like God.
Lucifer knows very well that this is
no more possible
for us than it was for him...[p 13]
A PROMINENT HERETICAL MOVEMENT
OF
THE 2ND-CENTURY CHRISTIAN CHURCH
PARTLY OF PRE-CHRISTIAN ORIGIN
THE GNOSTIC DOCTRINE TEACHES THAT THE
WORLD
WAS CREATED AND RULED BY A
LESSER DIVINITY
CALLED THE DEMIURGE AND
THAT
CHRIST WAS AN EMISSARY
OF THIS SUPREME DIVINE BEING.
ACCORDING TO THE GNOSTIC DOCTRINE
ESOTERIC KNOWLEDGE
[GNOSIS] ALONE
REDEEMS THE HUMAN SPIRIT
Early on, the
young, predominantly-Literalist Church
condemned Gnosticism
as heresy.
Few prominent Church
figures were Gnostics.
There was never any
serious, cohesive Gnostic
movement in the early Church.
Gnostics cared little for
organisational matters
and were pretty much left out of the Church
hierarchy.
Importantly
they denied the humanity and physicality
of Jesus Christ by
asserting his death had no true
metaphysical or salvation
effect.
Overall, historically
speaking, Gnosticism was often
relegated to
the fringes of Christianity.
Gnostics believe
that...The Ascended Master Jesus,
however, is NOT God, but
merely a “ray” of the
“Great
Central Sun, which is God”
[Milanovichp, Norma, We
the Arcturians:
A True Experience, 1990, p71]
[A channelled book]
In other words, according
to John MacArthur
"They believe
their Ascended Master Jesus
is inferior to the Sun
God who is Lucifer,
which
means the Light or Shining One"
"The Ascended
Master Jesus
is
clearly NOT Jesus Christ but another Jesus,
a
fallen angel who preaches another gospel,
of
which we have been warned in the bible "
