I submit that the Bible is a closed book to you and you understand neither monergistic or synergistic descriptions of soteriology.

History is full of Gnostic's who had “secret” knowledge of God, who knew the "truth". The question is, do we know God, not about God. Jesus is going to say to a lot of folk, “Go away, I never knew you.” Maybe you fully understand God's mysterious ways, I don't. For me it is trust and mercy, all the way, except those days I suffer from the disease of pride, which are too many..............

So what is your point? To just ignore the Bible and act in a WWJD mode 24/7? Wouldn't that be insulting to God that because some heretics decided to pervert the Word that all of Christondom just abandoned knowing anything?

Some day folks will realize how profound that one simple passage in 1 Corinthians is (2:14). It says that the Holy Spirit will teach us Truth - but one must first be regenerated. Your gnostics weren't regenerated, they were reprobate and easy to spot, and thus easy to ignore. Trust me, I never fell for anything Joseph Smith uttered either.

Good to see you reveal so early your contempt for the work of the Paraclete.
