Are you actually able to articulate the "gospel" that set you free "from all that garbage"? If so, and you really believe what you say, then isn't it imperative that you share your message with others? If you notice, I have given you several opportunities to share your "path of enlightenment". All we have seen, so far, is a vague mish-mash of gnostic mysticism.

I am not amazed that you think that my salvation (or lack of it ) is something that needs to be articulated. Salvation being a free gift from God is strictly a personal experience that defies description. Since you think us gnostics are lost in our mish-mash of mysticism, it would be a complete waste of my time to even try to explain the unexplainable.

Your belief system is exactly what tried to annihilate Gnostic Christianity in the first place. There are many Christian writings that I consider to be scripture that you don't. So we have no common ground on which to have a rational discussion.

For those who might be interested on my course of enlightenment you can click here.

"So we have no common ground on which to have a rational discussion."

This is just about the only thing on which we can have agreement!

I guess that it is easier to follow a "christ" who places so little responsibility on you except to follow your own path of enlightenment. The Jesus Christ of the New Testament is a far different person than the one you follow. The true Christ was actually a pretty judgmental fellow who pulled no punches when it comes to the demands of discipleship. He actually had the audacity to demand total obedience to His will.
