Thanks but rather than being accused of blog pimping, here is a 300 word excerpt that is allowed, with its 100 word lead that is shown in the articles page:
Occult Gnostic pantheism arose among certain Jews during the Babylonian exile and is grounded in ‘Ageless Wisdom Teachings’ from the time of Babylon. Eventually, Gnostics developed pre-Christian variations and then in the heart of Christendom, another version arose – ‘Liberal Christianity.’ Liberal Christianity took shape among medieval mystics such as Meister Eckhart (1260-1327) and in the forms of Renaissance occult science, occult philosophy such as Kabbalah and the Hermetic tradition; and within occult groups such as the Rosicrucian’s and among certain Radical Reformers (i.e., Kaspar von Schwenkfeld) and the ‘death of Christian God’ movement. (1) It took form and quickly became a battering ram against the Bible in 19th century Germany.
Its first real manifestation was at the University in Tubingen where a Christian theologian named Ferdinand Baur (1792-1860) had formed a school of faux-theology for the purpose of raising questions about the Christian faith, a tactic designed to undermine and destroy its status as the fount of truth and moral law. (1) Among areas that came under attack was the person of Jesus Christ, the Genesis account of creation ex nihilo, the fall and nature of sin, the Authority of the Bible, the way of spiritual salvation, apostolic tradition and Church doctrine.
By far the most heretical and destructive incursion into divine truth was the Gnostic assertion of the immanence of God at the expense of His transcendence (separateness from His creation) so that the personal Creator becomes a pantheistic impersonal expression of an evolving cosmic process.... (1)
The intellectual self-production of neo-Gnostics such as Hartford Seminary professor of liturgy worship and spirituality, Miriam Therese Winter, is rapidly filling the spiritual vacuum created by the nihilism of secular pagan materialism. Winter teaches:
“Our Mother who is within us we celebrate your many names. Your wisdom come. Your will be done,,

Thank God for Peter Jones. Very few in Christendom even know what Gnosticism is. He has a way of explaining it, that most can understand. Having read his material, I see the evil fruits of it all around us.
