On the right track, or not?

To stimulate thoughts and conversations, it’s my pleasure to share this 2004 exchange from our message board between Ron Matrisch and Dave Stoverden.

From Ron Matrisch: My reason for joining this group was to find others that think like I do. All of the text that the “church” has banned or tried to hide from the world such as the Gnostic text sparks my interest. In my opinion the “church” has done its best to keep its power and control, and anything that takes that power away from them is considered (by them) not of God. Instead of teaching the truth they give us half truths and outright lies. It does say that in the end times that knowledge will be increased. I say it will be the truth that has been hidden from us all of these years.

From Dave Stoverden: Absolutely right Revron8. But when you speak of “truth” I get kinda uneasy. Who’s truth? Truth about what? The end of life? Resurrection? Judgement? If you look at the Guest Book you will see one signer who does his best to criticize Gnostic Christianity saying the following, “True Christianity is neither “gnostic,” nor is it a private revelation granted to only a self-chosen few. It is the universal, objective, revealed Truth that God has reconciled sinful humanity to Himself. Gnosticism, and all the contemporary neo-gnosticisms claiming filiation with this ancient heresy, are in no way compatible with genuine Christianity. Groups like this represent nothing more than the ultimate expression of self-pride and -delusion. Read Colossians carefully and prayerfully.” His name is Michael Langlais, Ph D. What do you say to his statement?
