    Default Which commandments do you think are superior; Yahweh’s or Gnostic Christianity’s?

    Which commandments do you think are superior; Yahweh’s or Gnostic Christianity’s?

    You may use whatever set of commandments you think Yahweh gave. There are a number of renditions.

    As for the Gnostic commandments, I offer the following.


    1. You shall place no commandments above these unless proven to be morally superior.
    2. You shall value all people as equal before the law. The inequality of outcome is punishment enough of itself.
    3. You shall live by the golden rule and respond with reciprocity of harm or care to what is done to you.
    4. Use Gnosis and put logic and reason and their proofs above faith, which by its nature has no proofs, logic or reason.
    5. You shall leave the environment in a better condition than what is given to you as an inheritance to your next generation.
    6. You shall not impoverish the next generation and live according to the means you produce as their labor and wealth is theirs and not yours to squander.


    Gnostic Christianity and free thinking lost the God wars when the Orthodox Church decimated us and burned most of our scriptures. I think that Gnostic Christians had a superior set of commandments then as well as now. Those commandments were not only meant for seekers after a God but also a guide to secular law. Both secular law and Christianity seemed to ignore the second commandment of equality till our modern era. As a Gnostic Christian, I ask (rhetorically), what took the world so long to catch up to Gnostic Christian thinking and what is Islam and other backwards thinking people waiting for.

    Many have a problem with the 10 commandments given by Yahweh so I thought I would see if there is a consensus of thought on the Gnostic Christian ideology as compared to the Christian ideology. The main complaints I see are that Yahweh’s commandments have created a Christian ideology that denies gays and women equality. I think all souls to be created equal and thus deserving of equal human statue and citizenship.

    Others as seen in these two link have their own views and I would add that I think Yahweh’s no divorce policy, --- which Jesus confirms. --- and Yahweh’s policy of accepting bribes, ransoms or sacrifices (these are all analogue) to alter his usual and moral policy punishing the guilty and not the innocent, --- to the immoral policy of punishing the innocent instead of the guilty, as exemplified by his accepting Jesus as a sacrifice to save sinners whom God himself created to be sinners.








    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Default Here Gnostic. Instead of Gnostic, just use the word LIBERAL to see the BEST

    Easy. You aren't a Christian. Describing yourself as such is a lie from the start. Calling yourself logical is some funny shit.

    I felt the same way Gunny? Since Gnostic is so determined to belittle us for not believing what he believes. I decided to investigate, and the COMEDY aspect seemed perfect!

    I am not surprised to see that none here are intelligent enough to evaluate two sets of command for their morality.

    on the one hand you have God giving us a set of rules to order our lives......on the other hand you have some people who aren't even smart enough to figure out what they believe trying to give us a set of rules to order our lives........guess who I think wins......

    its amusing that a group who denies the existence of a christ wants to call themselves "christian"......on the other hand it makes a certain amount of sense......they also call themselves gnostic while rejecting knowledge......

    Likewise. None of us are surprised that you aren't surprised. But you really are funny.

    A skunk smells his own stink first.

    See how that pertains to you?

    If you don't then you're not half as smart as you think you are.

    Whatever we follow sure beats following a genocidal son murdering God while deluding ourselves into thinking that such a prick is good.

    see, this is why we can't consider you "Christians"......you think God killed a kid instead of giving his own incarnate life.......
