Agnosticism is usually used as a "media via" (middle way) when it comes to either atheism or theism. However, agnosticism does not describe the same trait as the words theism or atheism.

Theism means having belief in a god or gods. When you slap an a- prefix on theism, it simply means without belief in a god or gods; atheism. Agnosticism simply refers to how much you know about a god or gods. (From greek - gnosis - meaning knowledge.)

You can either be theistic agnostic or atheistic agnostic. Theistic agnostics believe that there is a higher power, but humans simply do not and cannot know the nature of this power. Atheistic agnostics take it one step further back and do not know if there is a higher power in the first place.

The question is: Which are you? Remember, it's for the agnostics only. If you're Christian, please don't waste my answer space, we know where you stand. (This means no bible verses, mainworry!)

Ok let's face it, they have the EGC eclesiastica Gnostics Catholica, and that is catholic church oriented. They claim to know the deeper secrets of christianity, yet the church dismissed them as heretics. So they infiltrate Pagan groups and tear real pagans apart for not being of the christian belief and they have their OTO which is part of the EGC.
The church didn't want them so are they Pagan because the church said so or is there really a place for them in Paganism ?

For me, I would tell them to use sun-block and stay away from tanning beds. Esp the ladies since it makes us age faster.

If Jesus is God then why did Satan temp him? Surely Satan knows that he can't temp God even if God where to come in Human form. God is beyond Sin meaning he can't be tempted no matter what and all God's angels know that including ex-angel Satan.





If Jesus is God then why did the demons(they possed some guy, can't remember text) call him "son of God"? The demons are Satan's hencemen and they have that knowlegde.

If Jesus is God then why is God always revere to as the higher power in the New Testament?

He said, "God!?"
God responded, "Yes?"
And the guy said, "Can I ask a question?"
"Go right ahead," God said.
"God, what is a million years to you?"
God said, "a million years to me is only a second."
"Hmmm," the man wondered. Then he asked, "God, what is a million dollars worth to you?"
God said, "a million dollars to me is as a penny."
So the man said, "God. can I have a penny?"
And God cheerfully said, "Sure!!.....just a second."

My son, at the age of three,(he's five now) awoke one morning and told me he had just been shown in his dream how to strangle someone! He proceeded to prove this(on my request) by putting his hands around my throat, thumbs crooked against my wind-pipe and pushed hard with those thumbs, causing me to choke(obviously!)and pull him away, amazed at his accurate knowledge of the correct way to strangle someone!!
I don't feel it's possible anyone could have shown him this, as at the time he was very shy and had no friends, as such. Also, he often tells me of his dreams when he awakes, some quite disturbing, some quite obviously from the mind of a three year old!
Suffice to say, I explained the dangers of doing such a thing on anyone and he has never done it again.
I'm not seriously concerned at present, as he has had no more dreams of such a graphically educatative nature, but I am interested to see what other open minds make of this?
