Gnosticism: The Ancient Deception Infiltrating Modern Churches Today — Part 2 |Michael Heiser
Post-Christian Christianity is closely linked to the ancient religious movement known as Gnosticism, which has historic roots dating back to the early centuries AD. Gnosticism centers on the belief in a transcendent "true God" or spirit beyond the material world, conceived as emanating various divine beings—or eons—forming a fullness called the "pleroma." Central to Gnostic cosmology is a dualistic worldview: the ultimate God exists in a higher realm, while a flawed, ignorant creator god—the Demiurge—governs the material universe and is often identified with the God of the Old Testament. Human salvation in Gnosticism comes through gnosis—knowledge of one's divine essence and the true God—contrasting with orthodox Christianity's emphasis on faith. Modern interpretations link Gnostic themes with contemporary science, speculative cosmologies, and pop culture narratives featuring extraterrestrials and superheroes as modern archons or saviors. Scholarly voices such as Jeffrey Kripal view Gnosticism as a living mythology blending elements from mysticism, science fiction, and paranormal experiences, with growing influence in cultural and academic discourse. This evolving landscape challenges traditional Christianity to adapt or oppose a worldview increasingly popularized through media and scientific dialogue.

Pornography, Purity, and the Promises of God | Matthew 5:8

What does it mean to be "pure in heart" and why does Jesus promise that those who pursue purity will see God? In this powerful message on Matthew 5:8, we explore the radical promise of spiritual intimacy that comes through purity of heart.
The world says purity is restrictive, but Jesus says it's the doorway to experiencing the nearness of God. This isn't just about sexual purity—it's about unmixed devotion, singularity of affection, and positioning your heart to truly know and see God.
