I like original name best, Yahushua.

My story is I was I was very scared reclusive girl. I hide inside me and hide outside as well. I have no feeling of self-worth or value because I not shown value of myself in my long years. I identified with the older women I grow up around. I fear greatly, for my brother, my mother and me. I defined by these women and I have no feelings for myself I did not fell I was entitled to feel any way about anything. My us was the females around me and then I leave my village to work and to keep myself free of a bad marriage. I not sure what love feel like but from my mother. My brother afraid like me. I cry all the time. I am glad I escaped. I had a brave moment, defying my father who I knew would sell me again real soon. I ran for my life and I was glad when they took us to Italy. What is sad is the community will support a community member even if that one is wrong. It is this way in the church too. They don’t care if the pastor is wrong they support him. Life is hard for all women, the elderly, the poor, children, and minorities.

My us led me to Mark and he save my life. I see sanctuary when I saw him. Light was shining round him literally even though he was sad. He is my angel and he set me and my family free. My mother and brother are Gnostic now and they moved into their new place. My mother is so happy. Mark is a life saver. I meet Sir Paul once. He sick but he nice to me. He tell me take care of his boy. I promise him I will. He say he haunt the house if I don’t LOL. I tell him we be glad to have him and he smile.

I like how the article address this I pray for them, or I pray for you when help is needed. Yes if they know to pray they should do what they can. It’s a self satisfying prayer. I can’t believe this situation in this country. Homeless in America? I am shocked.

Okay the article was deep. First I want to say I remember the question of what we want to call Jesus, I'll go with Yahashua.
Now Faith, Freedom, and Forgiveness WOW. do we all realize this could change the world? I love how this was put together.

The activity was interesting for me because I had to really think about how I saw me. I was pretty selfish and superficial until I had children. It was literally all about me. My community was wild, Italian, close but out there if you know what I mean. I was anxious to leave and find a man that lived his life on the right side of the law. Now that I am older I see the importance of unification and my whole picture is my Gnostic family, faith, and close friends. I like how close we are and how much we are growing.

Read the article and I first want to say, you folks really tell it like it is. There ain't now devil but there are many devils. It makes common sense and I have to agree, I totally think the true God is of a rational, logical. I have to agree most religions are out there in space somewhere simply because they have wrapped God in human ideology and that is a flawed way of rationalizing a perception of who and what God is or stands for. Humanity likes to blame, scare, and confuse matters. It's simple, love, respect, loyalty to your species, all of your species. If we lived the way True God or after the nature of true God, there would be no threat of a Donald Trump, no homelessness situation, not discrimination and institutionalized form of disparity. We have people without shelter in the riches land on Earth, this in itself is inhuman. I must say, this faith is where I feel the best. It's pre-christian and is an adult approach to worship.

Of course I like Yahushua as the name of the savior.

Welcome to the forum Kelton. I when you would completely join us:) glad you finally did. I had what I wanted to say typed out and ready so here it is.
I like the original name and it looks like that’s going to be the consensus Mark. I think it’s going to be Yahushua Yaaaa!

Me, I always believed but felt like I wasn’t getting the meat of the situation. Too many questions, too much uncertainty. Despite all that I went through I believed. I had faith. I just felt displaced. I like the way the McGinnis’ think and enjoyed some of the conversations we had over dinner. I was there as we all began to evolve into something better. Luke is the best thing to ever happen to me. I’ve been on the right track since I meet him and we have been together for almost twenty five years. This is why I think it’s wrong to tell same sex couples they can’t take steps to be in long term committed relationships. It’s obvious our best partner might be someone of the same sex. I love you baby and I love you Gnostic family.

The article really gets into how brain-washed we are in this society. It goes so far back and at some point we have to say enough is enough point blank.

Welcome Kelton, I'll get your emails set up as soon as possible. I'm still in the back end trying to get things up folks. We have to get the contact page up, I'm just not happy paying for a damn form. I'm sick of wasting money paying more for something that it clearly is worth. I'm starting to kick back against that and elect to do things my damn self. So, now that I've got that off my chest LOL. OkayI like Yahushua Marcus.
As for the article, I love it because it says many things. I encourage everyone to press the read more on the home page because Mark has answered many of the questions people asked during our meetings. This article answers many of those questions as well. Some of you found other Gnostic sites while we were down. One in particular made us all smile. They call themselves true Gnostics. As Gnostics we have no need to insinuate that other Gnostics aren't authentic. My story transcends into my group story. I always felt something was wrong I went to church and came out with a headache and I was nearly an atheist because I really didn't care for the image of God the Christian faith presents or markets. I red the bible for front to back many times because the Old Testament disturbed me so. I like psalms, proverbs and some of Genesis but for the most part I was horrified by the things I read. I was somewhat comforted when Yahushua comes on the scene in The New Testament. I always wondered why this bothered me so. I felt I was rejected and I wasn't sure why. It really played into my feelings of not being cared about so I just wasn't interested. I'm better now that I've found where I belong,where I fit I'm glad to be a part of our Gnostic family and we welcome Gnostics from all around the world to come fellowship with us.
