Andy let me make it clear that each of us choose our own path and I do not care to proselyte for any organized religion or sect. Apparently you believe in the bible as truth. I regard it in a different light.

You have quoted the old testament in asking me my opinion of what it means. I wouldn't attempt to argue this for it has been argued for hundreds of years by the greatest of minds and still is not settled.
Much of it is myth misunderstood and reported as actual history.

I simply state that the God of the old testament if as portrayed is of such evil nature and unfair that if alive today would be executed for it. The God I know and worship is not of either testament but is an integral part of my mind.

You quoted some of the modern Gnostic material that has been written but I am not knowledgeable of what their thoughts are. If you will get the true definition of gnostic it means knowing from an inner revelation. I experienced this inner knowledge many years ago and
that is why I say I am of Gnostic persuasion. I do try to learn and know as much as possible as knowledge is my salvation from ignorance.
