I have explained myself to the best of my ability. If you are truly curious, which I sincerely doubt, I would urge you to seek out people more qualified than I. Some suggestions —
- Dr. Edwin Young is the pastor of Second Baptist Church in Houston, the Bible-based Christian mega-church I attend.
- John MacArthur is a renown evangelical theologian.
- Mark Driscoll is a pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle (I think). Driscoll is a Calvinist pastor, and has his errant moments, but speaks to a unique audience (20-30 y.o. males) that is often overlooked by the church.
You may not agree with me, or these pastors and theologians, but at least you’ll come away with a better understanding than you have at the moment.
I am unfamiliar with gnosticism.

Other people are better qualified than you to explain what your faith is? I thought that that was a major beef of the Reformation - that Luther's every milkmaid could then become her own Pope and discard the teachings of any church. But at any rate, if you cannot explain your faith, then one wonders just how strong it is, or even how close it is to Christianity.

These three pastors all have a sufficiently divergent theology that I do not have any greater understanding of your faith than I did several posts ago.

Perhaps you don't know the name, but your posts certainly are full of the practices.
