12 years of Catholic school and this is the first I have learned of this.
Nowadays these schools are, sadly, of no greater good.
Sadly Catholic school fail to teach many Traditions, facts and history that would be useful and deemed basics to faith development. Its truly up to each person to seek theology. Dr Taylor Marshall is a great teacher and authentic in motive.
Most Catholics know very little about many things
Same here.
Learned it in a Homily at Mass
Arguably, Gnosticism started in the Garden when Satan suggested that eating from the Tree of Knowledge would make Adam and Eve like gods.
Masonry is through and through Gnostic with its secret knowledge of the craft and its skewed, naturalistic version of Christianity that it accepts.
I always thought that Gnosticism is not one thing, that it was an umbrella term used for different sects influenced by Christianity which did not all share same beliefs.
I'm a way it is. I've never heard Simon the magi making gnosticism.
this guy is full of bs. he is totally biased radtrad
Christianity was influenced by this. An this guy is bullshit.
I was trying to learn what a gnostic was and what they believe in. Instead I just had a bias explanation of how they are heretic in their beliefs. How does that educate anyone.
And the level of misinformation he's projecting. I was giving him a pass until he fucked up on the Demiurge.
I mean kind of fun to hear in its own way, but agreed -- its hard to find explanations on this topic without running into people like these assholes
You answered your own question. Well done
exactly, he’s so dishonest. lack of intellectual integrity
Now what you got is both enjoy the free content
Excellent teaching. Thank you Dr. Marshall. Would never have known this without you. God bless you and your family. God bless all your followers 🙏🏼🌸✝️❤️
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
When I was into Gnosticism at uni, I had a Satanist friend and I tried converting him as we believed most of the same stuff 🤦♂️ thank God I read Irenaeus against heresies and was like damn, I'm super deceived
Both are sides of the same coin in a way, twin roads to rebellion.
“Oh hey looks like I believe the same things as this satanist, let me convert him to my Christianity!”
“Hold on a minute-”
The first time you 🎉see
God bless you
Dude that's really impressive that you had that kind of humility. God bless you!
I’ve been studying religions to try to find where I fit in, it hasn’t been easy. I would have to put up my hand and say this isn’t a full explanation of Gnosticism. There are different beliefs - like Protestant and catholic have different beliefs about the same thing. There are sects in Gnosticism that believe that Jesus was here in the flesh with us. Unfortunately a lot of these tellings are left out in a lot of Christian teachings. Which is why I’m having a hard time finding where I fit. There are truths in all of the teachings, it’s quite frustrating. So I keep searching, I’ve come to realize in my search that sometimes finding our loving god is a personal experience. At this point in my search there doesn’t seem to be one true religion. One thing is constant though, free will. We have the free will to find our own way to the Holy Spirit, whether that be catholic, Protestant, or any other Christian teachings that come after Christ. The god of the Old Testament wanted us to submit our will to him. There is a reason why we stopped following the Old Testament. What changed gods mind about us between the old and New Testament? Did he change his mind? For those who are curious, I would suggest reading Deuteronomy and asking why. Don’t stop until you find an answer, then ask why again. Then if you still have questions, read something that didn’t make it into the Bible. Like the book of Mary, the book of Enoch, or any other popular ones and keep asking why.
BRILLIANTLY SAID.
Thank you !! Dr. Marshall left a lot out. I can tell that his knowledge on Gnosticism is limited.
Agree. This video is extremely biased and filled with misinformation sadly. Even Yeshua distanced himself from the Old Testament god and if you read the Sumerian texts, you quickly realize that Yahweh was a mix of Enlil, Enki, Amun Ra and other deities and the Old Testament was based on those texts. Unfortunately a lot of Yeshua’s true teachings were excluded from the canonized Bible for control. Yeshua was trying to show us the path to ascension similar to Buddha and enlightenment. There are records that Yeshua was in India as well and had learned from the yogis and have very similar teachings to a lot of eastern philosophy
Salute to you 🫡 I concur with what you said. It is very difficult to say there is the only one true religion and god. I mean it's easier to have a focus but the free will is definitely stifling. Traditions are good to have but if it is free will that which we seek, then our soul/spirit should live truly and grow within your own personal space. If that's not love to oneself to give to others, then what is?
Iv studied a variety of religions and find that they can all easily be linked and seem to merge and the lines blur
As an ex-protestant, I approve this message.
As a protestant I approve this message.
As a former atheist (now Catholic), I approve this message
As an ex-Episcopalian (of USA), now Catholic, I approve of this message. 🕊️🌹
As a EX"new age" )old age) practice of evil and idiocy and now Catholic..I too approve this message!
I can so relate to this as I practice this stuff w chakras etc....for years no wonder dark was in my corner! So grateful to of had a mini illumination of conscience to WAKE UP in 1017-2018 I ran away burnt everything I could find...I've had stuff since 10-11 years old! I got confirmed at 50 years old...gotta say it's hard but it's worth it hands down!
Off topic, I came across a Latin singing brother/sister group of four, Harpa Dei. They have their own CZcams channel by the name. There is something very special when these siblings sing traditional songs/prayers in Latin. I felt like I was hearing poetry when I experienced them for the first time. I think all would enjoy their very holy, meditational music.
Burning books is wrong, even when Catholics do it😊. It is our right to listen to Irenaeus, but in our day we listen in good faith to both sides of an argument, and we have no less an obligation to do the same for Marcion and Valentinus.
I love your teaching videos! Thank you! I hope you'll keep making them!
Excellent point Dr. T...."to the gnostics, its all about what you know AND NOT HOW YOU ACT." Sharing the perspectives with current real time events is awesome.
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
Spam from Spam™ for the fanatic slaves
Wow ! Thank you soooo much for this video Dr Marshall ! I so needed to hear this. I have a coworker who is Christian but some how came across that book, Nag Hammadi. I have never heard of it before, I have heard of the gnostic gospels . He has become way in to deep in this book and is trying to tell me that the Church took these books out for all kind of reasons. I did not know how to respond, He carries the book with him in our work truck and reads this thing. I have been hearing about the Nag Hammadi book for the last few weeks, so this is a blessing that you decided to cover this issue. He believes in these Gospels. Thank you again Dr Marshall.
Are you going to share this video with him?
@@deluge848 Unfortunately almost all 10 points in this video are NOT at all what the Gnostic codexes purport. Jesus is the savior, saved by faith, God is masculine, the crucifixtion and resurrection was in the flesh. These are points regurgitated from the opponents of Gnosticism and not what the actual text says. Are there some heretical texts, very likely, but we do not know why all codexes were lumped together, this this likely an early collection of whatever early Christians could collect, and not likely one monolithic faith and compendium like the canon. The Nag Hammadi requires some serious discernment, and without it, can very dangerously lead people astray, but as mentioned most of these 10 points are falsely attributed, and demonstratably and undeniably so.
@@deluge848 yes for sure
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
This video is the best thing I’ve ever received from a Catholic. Thanks
This is a very good basic introduction to gnosticism. Its amazing the errors you see and hear in ppls theology once you know, even may have come close to falling into yourself. Thanks.
Thank You for confirming what I had learned about Gnosticism and its origin a while ago.
Thank you, I really appreciate your help in understanding Gnosticism, Dr. Marshall.
Strange. If I wanted to know about Ukranian culture, I would not ask a Kremlin insider, I would ask a Ukranian.
@@kevinkelly2162 Thanks, so would I. Then I would ask the opposition for their opinions too.
I'm sure that Dr. Marshall is giving us accepted facts about Gnosticism, but not presenting them the way an adept would.
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
Very informative.
Well done Mr. Marshall. Have a Happy and Blessed Fourth of July..
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
Great video Thank you and God bless Dr. Taylor and your family and team
Thank you for a great explanation! Always enjoyed your podcasts, we need more like you here... ❤
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
This video was necessary to clarify so many ignorant ideas usually used by new age AntiChristians against Christians. It also helps Christians understand the heresy and how to clarify the facts. Just to know the gnostic bokks cut out any OT mention is a vital point in understanding the main differences. Great video Taylor. Really appreciate this. 🙏
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
Very good point in the last minutes. As an EO, we may disagree with some teachings but the sacraments are crucial. It's also about faith and knowing in what you belive, but that faith is sumerized in the euchrist
Dr Marshall, thank You for the Book Infiltration in Czech language! greetings from Prague!😍
I love your theological and Biblical teachings, Dr. Marshall!
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
Dr does not portray gnosis in its full light, it’s way more then he knows
John lamb lash is the best out there explaining it I think
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
The full Lucifer.
Same grift different day
Dr. Marshall, would you happen to have any copies of your other books (The Eternal City, The Catholic Perspective on Paul, The Crucified Rabbi) lying around that are in mint condition? I ordered them from Amazon but had to send them back due to their condition.
I disagree with some of your personal opinions but I have to say this was a very well structured and informative video.
Gnosticism: another trap set up by the devil for the perdition of souls.
Correctimundo dudes
Indeed
Very well explained! This was an important lesson that every Christian should know. Good that you picked this topic and explained it.
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
The magesterium of bergoglio is an expression of gnosticism. The idea of a "God of surprises" is basically a form of secret knowledge. Also Taylor Marshall points out the gnostics reject the old testament
bergoglio rejects the new testament. Bergoglio seems to actually adopt a couple gnostic elements.
Hello Dr Taylor Marshall I was wondering if you may do a video on how a traditional Catholic might convert a person to catholicism in the world today ,and the points they could they could use ?
Great and original idea for a show. I think he went like it..
I have found that becoming a traditional catholic is "a calling". Even Bishop Williamson's mother died a Protestant!
First realize that YOU don't convert, the Holy Ghost does. Only those souls who are disposed to hear the truth will listen and convert; that number of souls is few. The Holy Virgin, Queen of the Prophets, Queen of Heaven and Earth, urges ALL Catholics to pray the ROSARY DAILY, particularly for the repentance and conversion of souls and in atonement and reparation for sins. Mary does this in every APPROVED apparition. Relying solely on your own works/talents would be prideful and ultimately, futile.
@@marym.338 That quote of St. Francis is so great! 👍🌹🙏🕊️✝️
@@user-xr7qn3rs4v So we shouldn't worry about spreading the good news unless the perfectly right situation happens to fall into our lap? Because the Holy Spirit arranged that; but we ought never try to seek out anyone to bring to Christ? Bolderdash!
I will follow Jesus' example. I will follow the apostles' example. If you wanna follow what Pope John Paul II arranged with the Communists, have at it!
As for me and my house, we will follow the LORD.
Thank you for clearing this up! This is crazy.😮
I will totally vote for you and your an amazing teacher on so many topics. Hope we meet one day sir.
Very important teaching Taylor. Thank you.
Dr Marshall I was born in a Catholic home but I went to a Christian school. I feel compelled to come back to catholicism. Pls help people like me I would greatly appreciate it. Bless you
I'm with the CSPV. Lookup "What Catholics Believe".
Suggest you keep watching Dr. Marshall. Also look up Fr. Chad Ripperger. He teaches so clearly and on many different subjects.
That makes me happy for you! I am Roman Catholic-Orthodox but either way Roman Catholic mass (I’d try mass in English and then check out Latin mass..it is the way mass was performed for around 2000 years) I speak Italian and Latin so I understand and speak but I did not my whole life, mass from my first memory was maybe 1/3 in Latin and the rest in English, I remember being so little like 3 and when they chanted Latin and spoke it I felt overcome with solitude..I could sense this shift. I of course never told my mom or dad as it. As so natural. Many who listen to Gregorian Chant feel the Lords glory, love and such peace that is unlike anything..people who are Muslims and from all other belief systems are drawn to Latin Catholic chant. Many many who go to Latin mass for the first time are transformed. Either way listen to the Lord as you are being led, let the Lord guide you and take your time..talk to God, pray and have quiet time with God during this, and always but take the time to be with God and connect..you will be reassured, led, strengthened and of course loved so very loved. You are never alone:) God is with you, just follow his lead! Amen! 🙏🏼🙏🏼✨✨❤️❤️
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
So TIMELY. Deo gratias. And thank you Dr T.
Where can I send my resume for the campaign?
While Taylor was describing gnosticism, I thought it did sound a lot like protestantism.
Gnostics do not reject the Crucifixtion or the ressurrection! "The master said 'James, do not be concerned for me or these people. I am the one who was within me. Never did i suffer at all, and I was not distressed. These people did not harm me. Rather, all this was inflicted upon a figure of the rulers, and it was fitting that this figure should be destroyed by them.' The First Revelation of James. Gnostics do not say he didn't have a body, but they do say he had the power to overcome the pain inflicted on him. I quickly ran to my book to write this quote while you were speaking live on this. Opened on the exact page of this. Coincidence, perhaps, perhaps not.
Yeah, I don’t think this is a very fair or accurate description of Gnosticism
Yeah because he did not consider the body as him , he is not his body, we are not this body.
You do realize there were several different gnostic sects, with different teachings and philosophies, right?
Which sect in particular are you describing?
Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
This video brought me a lot of peace I was looking for
Sorry, but you discredited yourself on point #2. It is wholly inaccurate to say that all Gnostics rejected the resurrection of Jesus. There were so many Gnostic sects that anyone mildly well-versed on Gnosticism would know this is wrong.
This is you "I'm not a pagan but I worship mortal men" that's how stupid you sound
Correct
this guy is full of it. totally biased radtrad
Any videos you can recommend that explains it better?
@@Dr.Lemmy_C_Yasnatch Gnosticism by Stephan Hoeller for the truth
In Gnosticism there are many codexes that state that you are still saved by Faith and not by knowledge, but states knowledge brings you even closer to God because it reveals the full extent of his goodness. The Nag Hammadi Library is a compendium of books, and we do not know if they were bound correctly together as they were lost in a very early time of Christianity. For Example regarding saved by Faith, not by knowledge; in The Wisdom of Jesus Christ (Nag Hammadi Library) Jesus says: "Whoever knows the father in pure knowledge will depart to the Father and be at rest in the unconceived Father. Whoever knows him in a defective way will depart to what is defective and experience the REST that the eighth realm provides." (8th Realm is Heaven). What this is saying is faith, even if not fully knowing him will still be saved. And It also does not say that the person who knows God in an complete way is still not a sinner, which he or she obviously is, but that he will be closer to God in a reunification. Yet he is the Father, and Jesus is still the Savior. Therefore there is no logical contradiction in "The Wisdom of Jesus" Codex to the Canon. There are other codexes which are similar. In my other comments, I have already said why you have misrepresented the Nag Hammadi Library in many ways. Such as they do believe faith in Jesus as the only Savior, they DO believe in the physical Crucifixion and the physical ressurection. The Father is repeatedly talked about in the masculine and not feminine. Therefore due to these understandable, but gross errors, I agree with most of your videos, except this one on Gnosticism is not true. Understandable in the sense that they are lumped with codexes that are heretical. That said, I will say The Gnostic Gospels are still very dangerous texts and not for everyone because they do require SERIOUS discernment. As not every Gospel in the Nag Hammadi, may be of God as there are many that are heretical, and those that are of Gods work can easily be misinterpreted to lead some to a false pretense that God is not good. As it deals with more complex spirtual matters. Therefore likely sending us to death if misunderstood. Therefore it is an extremely difficult text and not even necessary to salvation and requires a lot of discernment. Which is likely why many of these books were disregarded from the early Formation of the Canon. Repeat, these are DANGEROUS books and can send you to hell, but not codexes contradict the Canon, if understood fully in the heart of seeking God. My thoughts are these codexes are a consortium of different codexes, we really do not know if they were falsely lumped together, but the Nag Hammadi Library is NOT one monolithic belief system! There is no such thing as a Gnostic Faith /Religion or knowledge and what many of the common misconceptions you state, come from the more heretical texts which are bound to it, and the fact that we havent had thousands of years for Saintly and Church men to theologise fully where it contradicts Catholicism and where it does not. Plus given the state of the world I would strongly argue there is not enough time to understand. Which puts you at risk for not fully understanding. Therefore in summary please continue what you are doing with your good work and leading people to the Catholic Church as Nag Hammadi as far as I see it is not necessary for salvation, nor promises it according to many of the codexes, but please be more discerning on a very wide topic which due all due respect, you have portrayed vast innacuracies. Even I won't claim to know or be able to define Gnosticism. But I do know that I find Jesus' words are always comforing and peaceful. When understood fully do not give confusion. Please take this as a criticism of only this one video and not the plethora of all the other inspiring Gods work that you do.
Dr. Taylor Marshall, I come to your work for lots of reasons and admire your accuracy in almost all things you say. However on this video on the Gnostics, it does not say God is feminine or that his children, us, become Gods either. "...The CHILDREN of the unconceived FATHER, God, SAVIOR, Son of God, whose likeness is among you." This says we the children have the potential for divinity when we are REUNIFIED with him. Only the opponents of Gnosticism, make those claims. The texts lead that he is still the Father, the first and last, the all, Jesus is still the Savior, but we are to rejoin him from our fallen state. I hope this message is received in good light and fruitful discourse.
Amazing explanation, dr Marshall. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Brazil
Interesting video Dr. Taylor, thankyou. 😊
It would be interesting to know the connection between Gnosticism and the occult, mystery cults, Arianism, the Aberingians the Masons, Lucifererians etc.
Learn the connections with the WEF
The occult highjacked the gnostic understanding- thats how secret societies work. They act like they hold secret ancient information, but theyre really a group of deceived deveivers. We have to be Catholics reading the gnostic gospels and understand it’s not actually an alternative as the occultttt wants and has us to believe. It’s the same group that has TRIED to touch and manipulate the words of our Holy Bible (they haven’t succeeded yet!!)
4:54 AMEN AMEN!! That’s my point in a lot of what i say and research about gnostics and muslims… our faith is right about what it’s right about (EVERYTHING)- they’re wrong about almost everything, but that’s what needs to be taught and shown to them, ya know what I mean @Dr Taylor Marshall ?
Thank you, TaylorMarshall. just to say, there is a gentleman whose name is Lloyd de jongh originally from South Africa but now lives in Poland I believe sincerely that he’s going to become a Catholic because he defends the Catholic Church quite a bit, but on his programs he explains the roots of Gnosticism, and some of these other cults. Enjoy the content God bless.
I would hazard a guess and say none as Gnosticism vastly predates all of these. If anything at all, like Helena Blavatski, they seem to be corruptions of this and use it to service themselves and their own curiosity. With the more openly satanic to serve their lusts and desires. Gnosticism is about cultivating a closeness to God, not even about salvation as many ascribe to it. I recommend Catholocism to anyone seeking salvation. I don't even recommend Gnosticism anymore as it does have very real dangers. But truth where truth lies, it has NOTHING to do with the above mentioned.
Dear Taylor Marshall: In one of your videos you said, it is okay to play sports after Mass on sunday. which video was it? Please.
Thank you! Currently reading St. Rober Bellarmine De Controversiis Tomus 2 ........I should look forward to reading St. Irenaues Against Heresies regarding the Gnostic Heresies...
Thank you so much for this valuable stuff.
Hello, I like the video but I'm wondering if the so rare image of the 840 minute is not inapropiate. Thanks for the content. God bless.
The other day i was talkin to my bro and had been in the kitchen where i placed my beverage. I was in a different room at this point and the television had my attention. I reached over a grabbed a cup and took a sip. I looked realizing this aint the latest cup. That sweet tea expired
Excellent presentation ❤
Gnosticism? Talking about a hard sell...I now have a headache trying to follow it all. No thanks on the Gnosticism road. It's a complicated maze of dead ends.
Thank you, this makes me appreciate the Old and New Testament even more. Simon the Magician was, among other things, the first snake oil salesman.
Thank you Dr. Marshall ❤
Wow, I learned a lot. I never knew what this was.
This is almost prophetic that you went over this yesterday as I had never learned about this topic explicitly, yet found myself researching the term last week after listening to a podcast about this yoga "cult" my mother was initiated into during her 20s that explains the belief as it relates to gnosticism. My motive for such research was to better understand her selfless and loving heart ❤/ prepare myself after she asked me to take her to a neighboring State to one of their 4 day meditation retreats/spend the night, but they discluded her for lack of timely RSVP (how lucky was that?!) My dad passed away years ago, but I credit him with saving me from my mom's beliefs as he raised me as a Roman Catholic and would angrily and passionately defend me from the "cult's" teachings. Wow just wow. My guardian angel or some others in the spiritual realm might be really hard at work right now through such divine interventions 😅.
P.S. Today's Christ The King platform for America is commendable even if we have to wait for 2028 ✝️👑 🇺🇸 (Ha sounds like I might be on to a campaign slogan with rhyming words that say something to the effect of not wanting to 'Wait' for, or being hopeful and strategic as we 'Await' 'Twenty-twenty-eight,' . . . Needs some work)
This is a very good lecture on the gnostic heresy. Very informative. All Christians should watch this.
Thank you I really appreciate your teaching Dr Taylor
Great Video Taylor. Thanks a lot!!!! God bless you a million times
Why so much sens or ship around this subject. I've had dozens of posts disappeared when talking about this
*14:00* so on-point! Exactly what I was thinking.
Been getting Gnostic recommendations on youtube as well as reading the complete 54 Apocryphal book. Interesting how symbiotic this video is with that.
Is a lie , the serpent god of wisdom is satan and lucifer , they re interpret all with esoteric doctrine so you do a ritual to destroy your soul, I had real satanic books ,I was an atheist , I risk my soul being expel to hell , but after I destroy all and try to save people was almost kill in a dream , I was strangle by a force , I could not wake up , when hell know some one know secret and try to save other is kill , Jesus save me .
I’ve played a lot of JRPG’s and read plenty of fantasy novels, and let me just say Gnosticism sounds like something straight out of one of those. Like Xenosaga or Final Fantasy.
Dat dog ole demiurge. "We'll get you yet, Demi!!!" (Shakes fist in air)
Thank you Dr. Marshall
Great video. The only thing incorrect was that Simon Magis “pulled out a wad of bills” - he probably pulled out a bag of silver coins.
Now I am really confused about Gnosticism! I read several books about it and resonated in my heart with it, as to me, Gnosis it the Knowledge of the Heart, within the Heart rather than acquired through reading. Yes, the last point 10: your personal experience.
Gnosticism is an ancient heresy, don't believe it. It will lead to condemnation. It isn't Christianity. Hope this helps
Missing😮
You’re correct, gnosis isn’t intellectual knowledge. Gnosis is intuitive inner experience of the divine.
Bible says the heart is desperately wicked. I wouldnt trust your heart if I were you
@@bluewolf5582but we're supposed to believe in our hearts that Jesus is Lord...
Blessings to everyone from Puebla, Mexico.
You need to interview Lloyd de Jhong, he has extremely excellent in depth work on this very subject!
Wow, Doctor. Thank you so much. Very good. Somewhere I saw that Luther attended a Jewish exegetical school.
What pushed Luther over the edge was the selling of indulgences (simony?). There were other differences that eventually drove him out of the church, but that was straw that broke the camel’s back, so to speak.
I'm currently and have been reading these Gospels. I don't see anything about not believing that Jesus didn't incarnate or die on the cross or resurrect from the dead. I have found it fascinating to read but I am always open to different opinions. Reading these Gospels hasn't taken anything away from my faith, but it gives me a different insight on how they believed and the struggles of people and all the different beliefs at the time of Christ. I understand the wars and blood shed so much better and why they had to get rid of Jesus. The times were political as they are now. I also have a deeper understanding of the sacrifice Jesus made in a very dangerous time.
Except they are BS writings
Same. Even when I wasn't Christian I read these and it doesn't change anything for me. I understand Christ and have faith.
You have to remember that this channel is biased.
Excellent points Dr. Taylor, I am a convert myself, still waiting to go through RCIA, and I've been trying to convert my family to Catholicism. They are all hard stuck on Protestantism but don't even know that they are Protestants or even what the word means!!! I'm praying for them everyday...
Why catholicism😂 so far off point
Islam also originated from ebionites and gnostism. Thus, they dont believe Christ was crucified. And also they believe a secret knowledge came down from heaven thru angel gabriel and gave them their book.
Does anyone know if Dr Marshall has any videos where he talks about ‘new ageism’ such as ‘the secret’ and manifesting etc. it seems to be entering the church more and more, especially among younger people.
Hey Taylor: Are you making your announcement tomorrow? You have my vote and full support.
He announced already, yes sure but he's not gonna make the grade.
Dr Taylor,
Cd I call myself an agnostic if I do not believe in the gnostic?
BOOM 💥
I've been chest deep in a James Lindsay worm hole and hearing about Gnosticism from an atheist. That part about Protestants made my (physical!) spine tingle. V. timely, thank you so so much for this vid. ✝️
As a protestant brother, thanks for this info.
Thank you Mr. Marshall. No i know where the "spark" in Transformers franchise come from.
Modernty has become the most successful nawstik myht in histry. -from orhtodax reflecshuns
17:28 Fr. Jean Colson in 1968, with Imprimatur, published a book in which one of the arguments for his conclusion was an old Gallican martyrology, in which 28 of December is two martyrs, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. His overall conclusion was that "the beloved disciple" was:
* a disciple
* present at the cross
* _not_ one of the twelve (specifically _not_ St. John the son of Zebedee)
* a Cohen
* host, not guest, at the last Supper (same house in Jerusalem which also enabled him to receive the Mother of God as His own new foster mother)
* author of the Gospel and the Johannine corpus.
Another part of the argument was that St. Irenaeus had left Asia Minor as a teen, which is why some misunderstandings of his youth were not sorted out - on the other hand, Colson builds much of his argument on voices of those remaining in Asia minor (Papias calls the Gospeller a "presbyter" and not an "episcopos" while the son of Zebedee was one of the first "episcopoi" - a protest against Rome about Paschal Date invokes "John, who bore the golden head band" rather than "John who was one of the twelve") ...
So, according to Fr. Colson, _all_ of the twelve (minus Judas, plus most probably Matthias) died as martyrs.
you are describing the Charismatic movement - please do a video on the gift of tongues and how few men in the history of the church who received this gift
Nice editing and education
This should be titled, “Why were the Gnostics bad and very wrong?”
I know simony is a thing, sale of sacraments and so on, but it seems there is a mandatory stipend or fee on just about every sacrament you receive in the church. That has always confused me.
im probably having schizofrenic auditaury but the way you say Gnosticism..it sounds like narcisism..and that would mean ME being God. schizo is a way God talk/communicate with us. Thank you for sharing this video
Hello from Denver-Boulder
I appreciate the explanation of gnosticism. However, I must say that there is a misunderstanding here in regards to Luther's teachings. Orthodox Lutheranism looks nothing like the description Dr. Taylor Marshall described. Modern Protestantism (even modern Lutheranism) does look very much like it, but orthodox Lutheranism does not. The Book of Concord makes very clear the supremacy of the Eucharist, and Luther taught several times that salvation is given freely regardless of our "input," for lack of a better term, which would include knowledge. Luther put a major emphasis on the Sacraments for this reason. Also, on a practical level, historic Lutheran churches looked very similar to ancient Catholic Churches. Just wanted to share that. Thank you for your video.
I'm Protestant, but I enjoy watching this channel. (P.S. I do not agree w Gnosticism.)
God Bless.
I'm glad you don't agree with it, it's heresy.
Should do a commentary on mormonism.
Please no. Unless your exmo You really shouldn't touch it. I'm exmo AND tired of people who don't know what it's like making videos on Mormons
As a Sethian Gnostic, while we clearly disagree in some key points, I must admit that you generally explained gnosticism really well
🤦🏼♀️all I can think is, not a bit of wonder “Saint” Sister Lucia couldn’t write down the 3rd Secret until she was, “commanded to do so by the bishop”

When I listen to the gospel of Thomas ( the Ted Nottingham version in which he quotes a lot of the writings of Jean-Yves LeLoup the renowned French mystic ) the hair goes up on the back of my neck 😮.. it’s as if He Himself is standing right beside me .. this gospel is bringing me back home ..the Mary Magdalene one is also transcendent 😊😊😊😊😊😊heretical?? I don’t believe so 😎who designated them as gnostic anyway ? The emperor who figured out a good way to rule his world ?? Hah 😂
It is in fact heretical and that's not a matter of opinion. It's been known for thousands of years as well.
As Dr. Taylor alluded to in the beginning of this video, Gnosticism is not a uniform belief system, but rather there are certain attributions that can be ascribed to Christian Gnosticism. Not all of these attributes are common to every school of Gnostic thought. The things which Dr. Taylor describes as Gnostic points which you will find among Gnostic writings are not entirely incorrect, though the spin which Dr. Taylor puts on them can be the subject of vigorous debate. It is also debatable that Gnostics considered themselves as something separate from mainstream Christianity. Some writers believe that with early Christians Gnostics, individual experience was something you could undertake once you had the foundations of basic Christian dogma and practice. One thing that I believe is misleading in this video is the implication that Gnostics believed in salvation through what you "know" in the academic, or intellectual, sense (5:25). This was the belief prior to the discovery of the Nag Hammadi codex, but has long been disregarded. The "knowledge" that the Gnostic seeks is the direct experience of union with Divine Power, to "know" God directly, transcendentally, not through education. In other words, most Christian religions offer the promise of a state of divine union in the afterlife as a reward for faith and good works; the Gnostic aspires to experience divine union in this life. This idea of individual transcendent experience is consistent with other points Dr. Taylor makes in this video. As an aside, for St. Paul's take on Gnosticism, see 1 Timothy 6:20, 21, though I suspect these verses are 4th Century+/- add-ons, as you sometimes find with ancient writings that were later translated by monks.
Point #2 is particularly problematic. Isn't that Lucifer's stance that led him to rebel and declare "Non serviam"!!!??
Superb video! 👏🏾
As in all non Catholic groups, a day late and a dollar short.
Awesome vidio!

Spark of devine is in all that have been born again. There is no secret... power of discernment is a gift.
23:32 Would you agree with me on this: the 1978 Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy has 10 000 times more to do with the Catholic part-roots of Protestantism than with the Gnostic ones?
