Wait, wait, wait... tell me again as a Gnostic Christian how evil Christ is again?I sure hope you are correct and that Christians of the homophobic, misogynous and genocidal god lovers type can be healed.I don't believe you know what Jesus actually taught. The Greek word for repent is "metanoia." Metanoia means to change your mind. Our thoughts, the flow of consciousness which determines our behaviors, can change. Metanoia has to do with moral activity, but goes beyond that. Jesus was teaching that we could change our mind about how we treat people. We don’t have to be unforgiving and cynical. We can change our mind about being negative. We can think positive thoughts and walk in faith instead of doubt. We can change our minds about sin. Rather than being caught in the strongholds of consistent habits of lust or selfishness, for example, we can experience freedom and selflessness. Jesus would not have told us to change unless it was possible and attainable. The Bible is full of words that speak about change. Repentance, metamorphosis, transformation, conversion, resurrection, rebirth, renewal, regeneration, healing and transfiguration.Is accepting Jesus as messiah a sin?
It seems to me, that to accept Jesus as our messiah or scapegoat, means abdication our responsibility for our sins and placing it on the messiah or scapegoat.
I think that to use a scapegoat is a sin.
If you are religious, is this the sin that you think you did to deserve hell? If not, what is it that causes you to sin to be saved?

So accepting that is in no way a sin. It is how one finds peace and joy in life.
Jesus is waiting patiently for so many Christians to move left, or just do the best thing and turn to Gnostic Christianity for moral guidance.

This is too funny.
Do make up your mind if you want to talk about Jesus or some Christ.
Jesus was never anointed to Christ, goof.
