"He told no lies. He spoke about the Gnosis. The Messiah gave the hidden Gnosis to the people. We are all the embodiment of God...God created all."

Gnosticism is a Greek term which relates to a special kind of privileged or hidden knowledge that is not common to all but to chosen ones and/or understanding or consciousness gained through personal experience. To the gnostic salvation came by discovering hidden knowledge and experience, not a free gift from God. To the gnostic knowledge is discovered from mystical personal experiences, not knowledge known to all by the God's revelation, God's Word.

Writers of the New Testament repeatedly condemned gnostic teachings. There are several epistles (examples: Colossians and 1 John) that address the ancient heresy of gnosticism that is now having a revival (The Da Vinci Code is perhaps the latest and greatest repackaging of Gnosticism). Some have noted that the purpose of the book of Colossians was to: "refute the Colossian heresy of Gnosticism."

refute the Colossian heresy of Gnosticism

Without the Gnostics you would have no "Bible Stories" to teach in Sunday School. I find it humorous that Gnostic texts are "heresy" yet you base your Bible stories on them.

The King James version of the Bible is riddled with errors, mistranslations and contradictions.
