Your wanting to group wisdom's into sects of people. You cant do this. A wisdom is a wisdom....you dont separate what is truth by groups. Why does
Jesus speak in parables? For one to find the wisdom in his own time and way. It cant just be given to you in a day. Its a way. You only learn what you
are ready for and this usually takes many life's. For you to assume that there is not some truths in Gnostic text would be wrong....for there are
things in them that do parallel to the Bible. To take any writing as all truths would be naive for us to do. Through the Holy Spirit one can learn the
spiritual wisdom's that will become ones nature, causing one to be a light in the darkness.
God is not about boasting. Jesus didnt boast of his enemies. The false images of what Gods nature is in the OT leads ones nature to be of the same,
causing a blindness. If you believe God was every wrathful, there is still a part of your Earthly body that needs to believe this. If you believe that
God was ever boastful, there is still a part of your Earthly body that needs to boast. If you believe God can be inconsistent with temperament, then
there is still a part of your Earthly body that needs excuse for your own ways. This doesnt mean Jesus cant guide you in ways you are ready for....but
guidance never stops, there is always more to understand and gain in spiritual wisdom's. If you believe that Jesus will come with a forceful order on
this Earth, then it will be the forceful leader you follow. If you believe God desires an Earthly Temple, the leader of the Earth is who you will
praise.
You limit Thee. Getting caught up in your own salvation can be blinding as well. When you are following the way, you will live for others, you will
love all, even if you feel they are lost and without light. The one that finds the light in the darkest of souls is the one closest to home.
