Thank you for sharing your insights, dear spirited irish!
The same proved to be true of the Shakers -- although they had many useful practical skills and ideas that should have been propagated...
Regarding the gnostic-Nassenes, Alamo Girl said, “At least their beliefs would not be handed down to the next generation.”
Spirited: Unfortunately, when gnosticism resurfaced prior to the Enlightenment, it returned as a fusion of all of the pre-Christian gnostic-cults. In addition, it had fused with openly satanic variants from India.
Theosophy is an example of satanic-gnosticism. Shortly after the UN was built, theosophists raised up a Luciferian-center called Lucifer Publishing, which would eventually be renamed Lucis Trust. Lucis Trust stands very near the UN and has been from its inception, intimately involved with the UN. They offer invocations monthly to the new ‘christ.’
Though the West’s deplorably decayed situation is most often compared to Weimar Germany and Germany under Hitler, a better comparison is to the USSR under Trotsky-Lenin-Stalin. Lenin and Trotsky were gnostics, Stalin was one as well, as was an unknown percentage of the Bolsheviks. Additionally, prior to the Revolution of 1917, Russia was a hotbed of sectarian and gnostic-cults. The gnostics in particular, were anxiously awaiting an apocalyptic-revolution that would utterly destroy the old order and usher in the new.
It was during the initial Trotsky-Lenin-Stalin regime that Nassene teachings were forcefully implemented. Divore and abortion were made easily attainable, the traditional family was forcefully attacked and almost destroyed, millions of children became wards of the ‘Mother-Father State,’ attacks were launched against the Biblical two-sex dichotomy with the intention of making androgyny the ‘new-norm.’ Churches and cathedrals were blasphemed, some became temples of atheism, and thousands of clergy were crucified-—literally.
The destruction unleashed was so catastrophic that Russia’s economy, culture, etc., were almost destroyed. After Lenin’s death Stalin took control and in an attempt at preventing the total destruction of Russia he took forceful steps to undo the worst of the gnostic-revolution. It’s because of this that America’s gnostic-New Left hates Stalin but reveres Lenin-Trotsky.
As we gaze upon the wreckage of America, we can see not only the immorality and subsequent chaos produced by gnosticism, but also its’ deadly outworkings upon the family,church, procreation, etc. America is a regime of gnostic-heresy.
