      @@tbishop4961 there is no such a thing in Mandaean books talking about not accepting converts, in fact there are many stories about how people convert into Mandaeanism such as in Ginza Raba a girl called Maryay the daughter of a Babylonian cruel king who used to sneak out the palace to get baptized in the river with other Mandaeans.
      However ur right it doesn't make sense when Mandaeans officially don't accept converts.
      The story goes back to around 1300 years ago when a Muslim leader called Khalid bin Waleed took over Mesopotamia "modern Iraq" he proceeded in asking for jezia (Muslim word for land tax) from everyone. Whoever cant pay has to convert to Islam or die. Mandaeans are known in living undercover between Jewish and Christian people. Therefore he also asked Mandaeans to not accept the return of the Mandaeans that converted to Islam. Lots of us didn't listen to his rules and many got killed in Shoshter and Haran valley. It was then we were forced to sign an agreement to follow his command.

      Lots of us now talk about bringing back our religion and accept converts but the situation in middle east with the US invasion and what followed after with ISS have given us another catastrophe and our numbers now less then 3000 people in Iraq.

    they are definitely older than the 4th/5th centuries. Buckley has shown that the colophon dates extend at least to the 3rd century if not older. The nature of the writings themselves clearly shows older origins, Nazirutha would seem to arrive from heterodox classical judaism and Helllenic and Babylonian syncretism.

      Just to add a bit of context, gnostics is a word that derives from the Greek word γνωσις which means knowledge. γ is the equivalent letter of g and indeed γνωσις is being pronounces as is in in a similar fashion as you do pronounce g in gnosis. Gnostics means those who posses knowledge, in modern Greek it is being written as γνωστες.

      @Kynan Krugel Thanks for the share. I appreciate your sarcasm, though that isn't my approach to learning. Wisdom is a really high bar, even knowledge is a high bar considering those that have not acquired knowledge about any particular or general topic are only left with "beliefs" about said topic. When you know, you don't have to believe, but until you know, then you either accept you don't know and continue to explore or you pretend to know by buying into or self-creating a belief.

    • @bruceburns332
      @bruceburns332 3 года назад

      @grace 73 Interesting perspective. Assigning a guess to the "attitude preferences" of Holy God seems very anthropomorphic. Any choice with your (our) mundane mind to try to please a/the Divine Mind seem absurd. I don't think we can virtue signal our way to heaven. There is a great deal of canonical and non-canonical evidence that attitude really didn't matter. King Solomon would be a fine example of that.

      @Kynan Krugel Lolipop Radio. For me it is more about quality and relevance of signal. There are probably medals for humans who choose to pour over every book ever written about the general and specific topics regarding this content. At some point once anyone who studies this material and groks the enormity of the available and potentially available sources, deciding to filter out as much noise as possible helps laser in on that which is not yet learned, that which is not yet discovered.
      Learning is means to an end, but not in and of itself meaningful. Much of what most of us has learned is either erroneous or misinformation. Awakening to Spirit isn't defined/limited by being Pet of the Book of the Month Club. If you discover that your learning is "fun", it is possible that there is heart in the tradition/signal you are receiving and you gnosis this in your bones, through your heart. Discounting the wholeness and fullness of the your higher awareness, empathy, intuition and other gifts that help the poorly programmed mind awaken to anything, let alone the Indivisible/Invisible Spirit might be an error in perception.
      Thanks for your reply.

      It is a little queer to sound the G, but no pronunciation is written in the sky; it occurs to me that he supposes others not to be familiar with how gnosticism is spelt and pronounced by different groupings which may include some that pronounce research as reee search, but then everything degenerates according to law and pure English is no exception. Perhaps all men have their shibboleths by which to detect their own and not their own, and not just one of the tribes or classes of the English with all their what-they-regard as solecisms and secret ahibboleths, which may include sounding the G in gnosticism or zabaglione. Not all of what may appear to be rules are prescriptive rather than descriptive; Joe Bloggs may see in his mind Nosticism if he is not familiar with the G being silent in gnosticism and zabalione, and .......

    The word Pharisee means separated one, heaven meaning to Heave upwards like the piece of sacrificial offering to the Altar called a heave offering,
    Solomons Temple curtain was of blue, purple and crimson cheribum worked into it, he built altars on the Mount of Olives for his wives to offer up burnt offerings to Molech and Remphan, through the golden gate, they were led away they were led away in bondage through the Damascus gate, Stephen spoke of it in the book of Acts quoting Amos 5 Ye took up the Tabanacle of Molech and the Star of your El Remphan, figures which you made to worship them, and I shall carry you away into exile beyond Damascus. Immanuel took his final exit through Herod gate oft called the flower, garden gate it led to the Hanging gardens of Babylon on top of Golgotha the strange fruit blowing in the breeze were the recently crucified. You speak of Aramaic yet have a very poor grasp of the words you use you know neither their meanings nor their roots, making you the epitome of the blind leading the blind.

    For what it’s worth at 12:21 - “Shekhinah” means a dwelling or settling. Typically used in reference to the divine or spirits. For example, the “Shekhinah” of YHWH rested in the Temple Mount, or for Christians “wherever there are two or three gathered” - all of these would be similar concepts.

    The word god is an old English incantation from the 6th century derived from the proto Germanic word gudan meaning to invoke to call upon a Higher Power taken from the Christian Codex Argenteus 4th century, the Aramaic Hebrew word for power is El
    , Elohim the plural El Elyon most High power. Babylon meaning Gate of Elyon baba Aramaic meaning Gate tower of Babel meaning king David's tower near the Jaffa gate in Jerusalem babel meaning door of El, bab in Arabic is door, Immanuel meaning El in man entered the city through the Sheep's gate, also called lions gate now called Stephens gate, all three Abrahamic religions have roots in Zoroastrianism, the religion of the Sasanian Empire 2nd millennium bce.
    Isaiah 7:14 therefore the Lord will send you a sign, a maiden is with child and shall bear a son, and he shall be named Immanuel, by the time he learns to reject the bad and embrace the good he will be eating curds and honey, curds and honey were used by the priests during fasting as they purged their bodies of the toin build up from our food and water especially fluoride.
    The last Iranian Empire before the rise of the Muslims around 7th and 8th century.
    1666 Ashkenazi false Prophet Nathan of Gaza declared Rabbi Shabbatia Zevi the Jewish Messiah and declared Gaza the new Holy City, it caused such a Schism it almost destroyed the Judahites religion Sabbatai later converted to Islam to save his life and received payment for complying with their political and religious schemes, the oldest Mosque in Gaza sits atop the temple of Dagon, dagon in Aramaic meaning little fish, Immanuel told his disciples he would make a them fishers of men, baal in Aramaic meaning Lord, making Immanuel baal of the dagon, Immanuel spoke Aramaic the tongue of the common people of the Levantine. Babylon the great fallen in the book of revevelation is Jerusalem she was a magnificent city of refuge for all faith systems to seek safety in their quest of knowing El Elyon.

    Gnosticism is similar to the Trinity Doctrine from Christianity with a SMALL difference: 1) Trinity Doctrine is considered secret knowledge commonly being the Trinity Doctrine as a "Mystery" nobody knows who God really is and who Jesus really is or who the Holy Spirit really ...2) Church's conclusion is: The 3 entities are called "persons" representing the material sense and is called 3 in 1 gods substance or the immaterial sense. 3) Trinitarians believe that the father doesn't exist as a spiritual spirit being but it was materialized in the flesh and still exists in heavens using two bodies, one body in Jesus incarnate and the body in spiritual body in heavens but only being one spirit being. So for Trinitarians believe that the father doesn't exist in his own existence as separate spirit being than his Son Jesus who was sent to earth by the father.
    The Bible doesn't say God came to earth , the Bible says that Jesus was sent by his God. Trinitarians believe that the father is the same as Jesus who came as God in the flesh and the Holy Spirit considered 3 gods in One substance as co-equal deities. GNOSTICS DID NOT BELIEVE IN THE PRE EXISTENCE OF JESUS AS A SPIRIT BEING. NO WONDER WHY THE TRINITY DOCTRINE FITS IN.
    The trinity doctrine contradicts the Bible because it is a Gnostic belief philosophical system. GNOSTICS followed the Neo-platonic philosophy in their beliefs...the trinity doctrine was formulated based on the Neo-platonic philosophy incorporated in their doctrine. No wonder "their christian pastors" needless to day "their members" can't understand it or explain it. It was created based on neo-platonic philosophical ideas.
