Unless there's a new radical version of the Bible, how do you learn Jesus' teachings of Love properly in the church? How are you supposed to understand all kinds of sins commited under the name of God in the OT, ridiculous miracles, birth story and the resurrection story in the NT? Is it easy for you to separate the teachings of Jesus from the Bible? How do you explain if your little kids ask about it?
I have been studying the Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagel's Gnosis is a Greek term meaning "to know". Writer's of the Gnostic Gospels say that self-knowledge is to know God. I have difficulty with this and wish to explore it here.
