Gnosticism is a heresy that grew up first started in Jewish circles and then really spread in Alexandria through Christian circles. The law unto yourself ultimately means both before God, death, but certainly destruction to everything around you. Jesus didn't really assume a human body, a mortal human body and soul. And one day will finally be rid of these bodies.
In the beginning, God spoke the world into existence. He made man and woman the crown of his creation, image-bearers of the Almighty God. Humans have a special place in God’s created order. But as we know, it didn’t take long for sin to enter the world, corrupting this image and changing our relationship to our Creator. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland consider our true nature as those created by God and why it’s important for us to understand our origin story.
