Donnay, you are being misled by men with innovative interpretations and heretical beliefs, apart and against the teachings of the Apostles Whom Christ sent into the world.
You are making the misleading complete by relying on your own mind as the definer of what is true or not. You have followed the path of Sola and those like him my putting your faith in yourself and your mind to know what is truth or not, calling it “the Scriptures” when in actuality it is your interpretation of Scriptures which you have elevated as the pillar and foundation of truth. You have in fact made yourself to be the word of God, the mind of God, and the voice of God.
This is pride and the biggest destructive passion which exists, which has led many to isolation, bitterness, and despair.
Do not be so blind woman that you pit yourself against the God-bearing Saints of Jesus Christ, and naively follow the lies and heresies of those decievers who are whispering in your ear and counting the money you send to them. These hucksters who create connections which do not exist and make claims which are distortions and dangerous. They preach a false gospel, apart from the teachings of the Apostles and those who were entrusted to carry down those teachings.
Listen to yourself. You can not point to any support for your claims on many of this things, but Brendan Ward and his contemporaries.
Have you turned Gnostic? Are you somehow more enlightened than the Apostles and Saints who walked on water, raised the dead, and held fast and true to the truths handed down to them? Would you humble yourself for a moment and perhaps entertain the thought that just because you think something sounds right doesn’t mean $#@! and has no bearing on truth or reality?
The Serpent Seed heresy is not heresy because I think so, but because others greater than me, all the way to the beginning, witness to it being heresy. It was called out for the Gnostic garbage it was along with all the other antichristian rubbish when it first started to be spread in the third and fourth century, only to be better brought back by the modern Gnostics of today, like Brendan Ward.
Forgive me for being blunt Donnay, but you are trending down a very dangerous path when you put yourself to be the deliberator of truth. Do not follow such a path. Seek the truths which are eternal, and open, and held fast through space and time. This is how one can find assurance in truth, namely that it is eternal, known far and wide and in consensus and agreement. The teachings you have ascribed which claim to be esoteric and hidden and rather the regurgitated vomit of Gnostic heresies which were antichristian then as they are now.
Humble yourself and seek the truth by studying what has been carried down by Christian Saints through the centuries to be the truth, openely and shouted from rooftops, and confirmed by the masses who said the Amen. Don’t be misled by shiny and intriguing fairytales by hucksters and ill-informed storytellers who use the Scriptures to weave their web.
And let this be a lesson again to those who earnestly desire to seek the truth, that it is only through the Church, which Christ established to be the Pillar and Foundation of Truth (and definite to what we may personally think or believe), for to do otherwise is to put ourselves above the communion of the Saints which is the Body of Christ, so in essence, putting ourselves above the Christ Himself. The first rule of Christian discipleship is humility and obedience, for through these two Christ taught us to find the Kingdom of Heaven.
