Are you looking for a Prophet or a Fortune Teller?
These days many people think Prophets are fortune tellers,
a Prophet is simply a man who proclaims Words from Gods Mouth,
Let me prophesy unto you, here, now, in 2012
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Don't go there, fortune tellers are just honing an age old craft and who is to brand it deceptive; actually
at least its a job (sounds like someone is making an honest living on an irony/dichotemy).
Where is the soft robed one that proclaims Words from God's Mouth that is not actually
quoting scripture that someone else has the copyright to? Jesus is welcome to manefest anytime.
I'm asking for the those mouthpieces that are ACTUALLY speaking to IT/THE DEITY/THE IAM/THE HEY FOLKS real now time.
A brand new Book first edition I HOPE is sitting on some publishers desk somewhere; at least
it would be current this time frame and not (no disrespect) commentary on the extremely vague
origins of the human race filled with riddles and indeciferable thought patterns.edit on 13-12-2012 by vethumanbeing because: (no reason given)edit on 13-12-2012 by vethumanbeing because: (no reason given)

"Satan" was created by "God", as everything comes from "God" or from the creations he designed. How does a purely good god produce such evil?

I'm tired of these parent example. Does the parent design the child knowing exactly what will come of it? No.
I will remove myself, if you only want set answers to fit your own view.

I think in this case there was a purposeful setup and that the design of it was very well thought through. The parent child relationship is a good analogy-except the parent knew exactly what it was doing, orchestrated all of it accomplished its goal and sacrificed its own young to have to live itself down forever in history as the 'bad guy'. Brilliant.

...Yeah. I don't think I need to take you seriously anymore. ATS, if this is what counts for rational discussion, I am severely disappointed. And no, I'm not afraid to say it.
Any divine being who despises arrogance with the exception of said arrogance being applied to itself, whether by external praise or self-centered entitlement, is a complete and utter "beast of burden". Or to be more precise, the slang term for such a creature.edit on 14-12-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

So, basically what your saying is that a Gnostic is someone who believes something, but is incapable, or unwilling, to explain what they believe. Either you don't actually know what you believe, or, Gnostic adherents don't believe in anything. How exactly did you become a Gnostic if "no living breathing Gnostic would ever consider having to explain itself" ? Surely somewhere along the way another Gnostic helped you understand what being a Gnostic meant... or, how do you know you are a Gnostic? Maybe you're delusional, but think you're a Gnostic. After all, no one could have told you that you were a Gnostic.
It's odd, I waited a long while just to see if your reply would be worthwhile. It wasn't. I gained no Gnosis by reading it. What a pity.

Gnosis means knowing. You are the 'knowing aspect'. You know 'things'. You know the appearance that appears presently. Can what ever is being aware of this, that is appearing, be described?

You just described it, or attempted to. So apparently, yes.
I asked 'what is aware of what is appearing?' Can it be described?
The knowing aspect is always present but never makes an appearance.
Have you ever even noticed it?

A gnostic doesn't 'believe' in something. It knows the something.
The gnostic does not have to believe, it is all seeing, 'all knowing' and everpresent.
