Apocrypha anyone?


"As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power...."





"And a man will choose...any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman...Sin began with a woman and thanks to her we all must die" Ecclesiasticus, 25:18, 19 & 33. 1

Dan, thank you. That passage really spoke to me. My spirit was blessed and I received a word. It was very edifying.

I would like share a personal testimony. The Gnostic gospels have really touched me. Especially the Gospel of Thomas. I encourage and exhort each of you to use the following passage in your personal devotion, quiet time, prayer closet, home group, cell group, life group, or prison ministry. I hope it gives you a word that touches your heart.

"Simon Peter said to them: Let Mary go forth from among us, for women are not worthy of the life. Jesus said: Behold, I shall lead her, that I may make her male, in order that she also may become a living spirit like you males. For every woman who makes herself male shall enter into the kingdom of heaven."
(Thomas-114)
