New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 61
Why are Gnostic cults so tempting? Why do people get sucked into them? It's not because Gnostics go around telling people they're wrong. It's because they go around telling people they're limited. Your beliefs, maybe in science, spirituality, Christianity, politics, or whatever, aren't wrong; they're low-level. The Gnostics hold themselves out as people who know more about whatever you're into than you do, and they explain their superiority as being "liberated" from the limitations "THEY" (your teachers, pastors, etc.) are placing upon your knowledge. They don't want you to know these secrets, but we do. That's the Gnostic temptation. Host James Lindsay breaks it down in this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, adding an example (https://www.dignityindex.us/index) of how the current Gnostic cults are trying to frame American values as level five out of eight in human dignity.

Around 14:40, Lindsay brings up the leftist/gnostic that humans are fundamentally good, not evil (and then challenges it).

This is what splits the Christians and non-Christian world views. He makes a lot of specific cases that we do need to identify and classify evil; that you can't just "work with" evil.

This era is really a fight against moral relativism. Interesting lecture.

Amen.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
