It's just kind of thrown in there, like everybody just wants to throw in the word Gnostic, they know what it means.

I've seen so many different definitions.

Gnostic simply comes from the Greek for knowledge, and it's the belief at its absolute fundamental bottom level,

that the more knowledge you have, the closer you can come to God.

Because you can only have knowledge of existent things and existent things are created by God.

Or you can have knowledge of spiritual things. Again, this all comes from God.

But now we've got this idea that Gnostics, you know, because some Gnostic, I'm sure there

were some Gnostics who tried to reason. It's all back to the problem of good and evil. If there's

evil in the world, that can't be God's fault because God is all good. That's platform number one

for Gnostic. Therefore, where does the evil come from?

Oh, I know. There's a second God.

There's some sort of demiurge. And then everybody starts saying they're worshipping the devil. Yeah, yeah. But it's just unfair. And we need to be historical about this. Just don't say Gnostic, if you're not quite sure what it means. So you don't think that you have to believe in the demoeos to be a Gnostic.

Of course not.

Yeah, that's right.

But you do have to sure what it means. So you don't think that you have to believe in the demiurge to be a Gnostic.

Of course not. Yeah, that's right. But you do have to believe that there is evil in the world because there is. No, of course. Do you want me to do, I'll try and do Psalm 82. Yes, please. Okay. Do you, you're going to do it by heart? Yeah, I'm going to try. Go for it. Wait a second. This wrong is fact first.

It is a good song.

God standeth in the congregation of princes.

He is a judge among gods.

How long will you give wrong judgments, accept the persons of the ungodly.

Defend the poor and fatherless.

See that such are in need and necessity have right.
