I think you are confusing Yahweh with Popeye. Yahweh called himself "I am that I am".

The concept of God is represented by two distinct and separate persons, our Heavenly Father and our Heavenly Mother.
8. We are the literal spiritual offspring of God, and have the capacity to become just like our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother if we so choose.
9. The Holy Spirit is no less than the office of the Heavenly Mother, and it is she who inspires and guides us through our mortal life experience.
10. It is holiness, benevolence, and wisdom which define the nature of God, not power, anger, or hate.
11. True worship is the imitation of God’s goodness; it is to imitate the character, disposition, and attitude of our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.
Maybe the bible should have said 'The Mother, the son and the Holy Spirit' - then it would be easier to see that the son is born without a father making the son the immaculate conception. Maybe the bible was written by a male? Just a thought

Gnostics meant those who know, I believe. I do my best to know! haha. I suppose a better way for you to comprehend, is that God makes love and to do so a gender is not needed, only a wonderful Heart. Sex of course is another matter.

Yes one could assume that, but the holy spirit is whole and not limited. It could create anything but it could not be one thing if not it would not be whole.

The Gnostic writers were people who were given a message without any support... no church, little following...
They believed knowledge is what was required to be saved... but the interesting thing is, none of the gnostic writing actually tells us what this "KNOWLEDGE" was...
The reason for this is that said knowledge was given in the gospels... and widely spread through out the world as it was known
we're learning that the gospels of Matthew, Mark(peter), luke, and john were copied thousands of times within the first 100 years of Christianity...
the gnosis is there for ALL to read... it was Gods plan to separate those who "get it" from those who do not...
And most of Christianity doesn't get it
That idea I like. I guess that is how I like to view scripture. Like, it is full of deep wisdom, right there, waiting to be interpreted. But most just totally gloss over it, don't look for it, just read it with the pre-defined beliefs which were given to you as your interpretive glasses.
