Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Then the brothers were Gnostic warriors seeking to grow their way out of that time. Now, much later the two have less time to make sense of what was forgotten or never understood. They pick one October week at their child’s beach to discover secrets buried. In thus doing they disturb the past in the oncoming storm and release from their search a storm started in the past that once found out must end. Once again they become warriors as they unknowingly call up a devil from their Gnostic past. As the reader becomes entangled in the brothers’ spiders’ web, he or she find a reality, foreign but not to be hugged tightly because the story is familiar. The story began as a child recalled with his accepting mind the events always remembered but did not know if they happened that way or at all. The grown child remembered but was the recall of long past events tainted by some coexistent disease that hid the truth? Is his past deceiving them now? Either way the adult mind with its own hard learned prejudice would need to attempt to find the answers of long ago, itself buried deep, but not dead. Now, on a stormy October beach in North Carolina as the two brothers, Gnostic warriors of a time past, seek the truth, the truth reveals itself, not quite evil, but evil not always is. The King James Bible puts it well in Romans 1:18: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;”
Download or read book Genesis of the Shakespearean Works written by Peter D Matthews and published by Bassano Publishing House. This book was released on 2017-06-11 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of fourteen years research scrutinizing thousands of historical documents. Dr Matthews reveals never before seen facts regarding the earliest quartos and the first folio – even new research into the leather cover of the Bodleian first folio and how that particular copy came into the possession of the Turbutt family. Dr Matthews has forensically dated the majority of the Shakespearean plays twenty years before earlier scholars, such as Rowe, Malone and Chambers – some plays dated as early as 1561, 1559 and 1558 – up to six years before William Shakespeare was born. Dr Matthews’ exemplary philosophical dissertation of the Shakespearean works and its critics, reveals much about the identity of the real authors. A unique reference work essential to Shakespearean scholars and students alike – this crucial work redates the Shakespearean works, scrutinizes each candidate, and definitively answers the authorship debate.

Download or read book THE GNOSTIC JESUS written by Edward D. Andrews and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus is identified by some Gnostics as an embodiment of the supreme being who became incarnate to bring gnōsis to the earth. In contrast, others adamantly denied that the supreme being came in the flesh, claiming Jesus to be merely a human who attained enlightenment through gnosis and taught his disciples to do the same. Among the Mandaeans, Jesus was considered a mšiha kdaba or “false messiah” who perverted the teachings entrusted to him by John the Baptist. Still, other traditions identify Mani and Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, as salvific figures. In the course of a century and a half, Gnosticism comes and goes before us like a splendid vision. And yet, its influence upon Christianity was profound and permanent. It gave occasion to a great expansion of Christian thought, to a clearer idea of the historical relation of Christianity to earlier and surrounding religions, and to a better definition of the basis of true faith. Therefore, it deserves a more careful study than it has only recently received.

Download or read book St Mary Magdalene written by Tau Malachi and published by Llewellyn Worldwide. This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Gospels of the Bible there are a few comments about Mary Magdalene here and there. But in the Gnostic scriptures that have been discovered, there are tantalizing hints that both her relationship to Jesus and her role among Jesus' disciples may have been profoundly important. Among several schools of Gnostic Christianity, Mary plays an essential role in the revelation of the gospel. Here, for the first time in print, is a Sophian Gospel of St. Mary Magdalene. No secret oral tradition as extensive as this has ever been recorded, and none has ever presented a Gnostic view of Mary Magdalene as she is portrayed in this groundbreaking work—as a powerful holy woman, the innermost disciple and beloved wife of Jesus, and a Christed woman who is coequal with Jesus in the Christ revelation.
