Cheeky tone? This is gonna be good...

"The Euchites (Greek for “praying men”)

These fish-eaters from Edessa believed that Satan contaminated every part of a person’s body, soul and mind. The only solution to cure Lucifer’s spiritual herpes was to continually dance and drink wine all day while reciting the Lord’s Prayer. They partied like it was 999! Needless to say, the Euchites had trouble holding down jobs and were forced into begging (they were also dubbed “The Lazy Men”, for some reason). At night, they slept in parks and unwound through group shagging, swapping as many partners as they could before the sun rose and turned them back to River Dancers. These neoplatonic dynamites disdained any authority, migrated a lot, and leeched off society as much as they could. Today, they are the kind of people Californians love to make the government support but don’t want seen in their Caucasian neighborhoods. Their teachings are said to be the inspiration for the first Woodstock and the musical Hair."

other groups discussed at link including: The Borborites, Carpocratians, Valentinians, and others.

So, in essence, tree-hugging buttfuckers of the 1st century.

Oh, ok.....

This also from The Heretic Magazine:

"What Do You Believe?

We’re a new publication with a time honoured tradition; Heresy.

iTunes Store UK - Vol 5 - £4.99
iTunes Store US - Vol 5 - $7.99"

The NEW old trickery.
Are who paying for it?
(Note:In my country, fallen it into extreme exaggeratedly just the Christian religion, over the past decades)

I thought when it said they held all things common that it just meant their worldly possessions...

Who were Christians.

Many pagan religions tried to pretend that they were Christian. Anyone can call themselves a Christian. Doesn't mean anything. There are even some idiots who believe Hitler was a Christian. Some people are just plain stupid.

Many pagan religions tried to pretend that they were Christian

You mean like Evangelical Christians? Who are the real imposters? Gnostic Christians wrote the first gospels and writings, where the first to develop a theology (the concept of the Trinity comes from Valentinius), were the first to claim Apostolic Succession (something which no fundamentalist church can claim) and held the first conclaves. And it was they who were ruthlessly persecuted by both the Romans and the Church.

Definition: Gnosticism was a second centuryheresy claiming that salvation could be gained through secret knowledge. Gnosticism is derived from the Greek word gnosis, meaning "to know."


Gnostics also believed that the material world (matter) is evil and that only the spirit is good. They constructed an evil God and beings of the Old Testament to explain the creation of the world (matter), and considered Jesus Christ a wholly spiritual God.

These two beliefs clash strongly with acceptedChristian doctrine. Christianity teaches that salvation is available to everyone, not just a special few, and that it comes from grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9), and not from study or works. The only source of truth is the Bible, Christianity asserts.

Competing religions make the same claim that the only source of "twoof" is their partisan holy books.

I'd propose we supply arms and ammo to both sides and see who has the biggest, baddest gawds.

Actually Gnosticism originated way before the advent of Christianity. Some Jews were Gnostics before the birth of Jesus. And what you are stating as Gnostic doctrine is a gross simplification and outright misinformation since Gnostic is an umbrella term for many different groups with diverse beliefs. And there is no singular source of truth, especially not the Bible. If the Bible is authoritative that would mean that those who composed and compiled the canon of text are even more authoritative than the Bible

We're discussing Christian beliefs. It is a relavent question. Since you refuse to answer, I'll consider the answer to be no, unless you correct me.

As a Christian, I believe that the Bible was inspired by God. He used human agents to accomplish this. I believe that the Bible is infallible. Therefore, anything that contradicts the Bible is wrong. If you do not believe the same, then there is no common understanding possible between us.

The science of taxonomy classifies bats as mammals while the Bible says bats are birds...which is correct? The Bible says rabbits chew the cud while science says they don't...which is right?

Why don't you Google those. They have already been debunked, and I don't feel the need to reproduce the work of others.
