The Trans Phenomenon Is an Expression Of Gnosticism

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. (Genesis 1:4)

One of the fiercest spiritual attacks upon the Church of Jesus Christ, and in a wider sense, upon Western civilization itself has been launched through a religious philosophy called Gnosticism.

The Word ‘Gnosticism ‘comes from the Greek word for Knowledge, Gnosis. A Gnostic claims a higher, deeper or even esoteric knowledge as opposed to common knowledge. Thus the ‘secret teachings’ of the occult, or the so called ‘lost books of the Bible’ are gnostic concepts.

Gnosticism is actually the ever evolving religion of the Serpent in the garden of Eden, because it is an accusation against God the Creator, it promises secret knowledge, and because to tells men that through such knowledge they can become “as gods, knowing good and evil”.

The early church was confronted with this philosophy in the form of a combination of Oriental, Greek and even Jewish ideas, which were seeping into the teaching of parts of the early church. Gnostics were literally re-defining the knowledge of God to those who would listen to them, for it’s evil genius was incorporation into existing religions, morphing them into distorted expressions of Gnosticism itself.

The Gnosticism of the early centuries was never totally banished , it has ebbed and flowed over the centuries in direct contrast to the swelling or contraction of Christian thought in the West.

In Gnosticism, one of the secret teachings is that the Creator God is a different Being than the Redeemer, Jesus. In fact much of Gnosticism actually taught that the Creator of Heaven and earth was evil! Gnostics were anti material, they believed that the physical World, (and the human body) was a prison hose, to escape from through the secret knowledge.

In the biblical account of Creation, The Creator spoke all things into existence, but then commenced the work of distinction. He separated everything; water from earth, the waters above and the waters below, day from night, light from darkness, etc. Perhaps the primal and most important distinction is the Creator/Creation distinction.

All of the rest of the actual Creation is a matter of separation, division and distinction. The last work of separation was the separation of male and female. God made man different from woman, in a different order, and according to a different fashion of creation, and with different roles in mind.

In the law of Moses God taught Israel to think in a very specific way, by insisting son distinction in food, clothing ,hygiene, the calendar, etc. This food is clean, this unclean, these materials are prescribed, but not these, Israelites schooled in the Law of Moses were rained to think in terms of thesis and antithesis and to constantly make judgments.

In the gnostic scheme, the Creator is evil and his work must be undone…in other words the ‘bondage ‘ of distinctions must be erased on order for man to be ‘liberated’ from the bondage of the Creator.Gnostics are at war with all judgments and distinctions, they see to eradicate them. We are living in a day very much shaped by Gnostic thought and philosophy. Thus Truth and error are thought to be false constructs, so also good and evil, right and wrong, etc. There is an attempt to wipe out all distinctions, including and especially the male female distinction.

The Philosophies of Post Modernism, and of Multiculturalism are both very much in sync with Gnosticism. Postmodernism is the radical lack of confidence in any universal Truth, and Multiculturalism is the insistence that all cultures are equally valid, there are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ cultures, all are One.Radical egalitarianism is just another expression of the war on distinction, and judgment of righteousness and wrong.

The “transgender” revolution is just a further extension of this Gnostic rebellion against the Creator, who created us as sexual beings in a Binary fashion, with assigned sexual roles. The distinctions are being attacked, erased, denied and judged as bondage, in the name of “Liberation”. As the Apostle Peter said of false prophets , “Promising them liberty, they themselves are the slaves of corruption…”

No, Kleck is not a gnostic. He comes from a Christian perspective, albeit unorthodox. Although by unorthodox, I don’t mean necessarily flawed or heretical. But definitely different than most mainstream, traditional interpretations of certain key biblical events. He examines many things contained within Gnosticism, the Sitra Achra, Kabbalah, the occult, etc., and the imagery and symbolism they contain, not to hold them up as something redeeming or worthwhile, but in order to point out the the agenda and recurring themes of all Luciferian religions, such as transhumanism, issue of duality, transmutation process of human souls that is pursued and advanced by the enemy, etc.

Here’s an example of one of his main differences with traditional doctrine as taught by most Christian organizations.

Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...

The word “God” is from the Hebrew word “Eloheem” or “Elohim”. The Hebrew definition is “God or gods in the ordinary sense... occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates, Angels, judges...”

The Bible uses “Eloheem” to sometimes refer to the Supreme God and sometimes to refer to magistrates, Angels, judges. One could say that the Supreme God is Eloheem, but not all Eloheem are the Supreme God.

The word “image” is from the Hebrew word “tselem”. The Hebrew definition is “to shade, a phantom, an illusion, resemblance; hence a representative figure, especially an idol. A vain shew.

On this basis, along with further corroborating support, Kleck proposes that man’s (Adam’s) creator was not the Supreme God, but rather Lucifer (Eloheem) and some of the other Angels in his camp. Adam, being created in Eloheem’s image (shade, phantom, illusion, idol, vain shew), is not a person or entity properly reflecting the image of the Supreme God.

Why would Lucifer and his Angels create this “phantom, illusion, idol, vain shew” of a human being? If this is true, then who are we, really, as humans, and what is our value that would elicit the sacrifice of the Son of the Supreme God?

These are questions not quickly answered, and for another discussion.

I think you would agree, not your typical, traditional Sunday School perspective.
