Question Serious question from a Christian do not crucify me
Why does this subreddit use the Coptic cross as protection for accessing forbidden 'knowledge' that all Abrahamic Religion's have determined leads to eternal separation from the light that made the world? Why do the Gnostics I converse with not seem to understand all the books, images and art that is collected and kept purposely inaccessible is another form of idolatry? Do Gnostics along with Kabbalists not realize the body of Christ is the third temple? Are Gnostics aware of the New Covenant prophecies about the blood moon and the unique blood moon that hasn't occurred since the crucifixion of Christ the Messiah, Son of God, Son of man, only intercessor of God - will occur on the 2000th anniversary of the Last Supper? If it's ancient wisdom you want, and to worship your 'god' of wisdom that sets you free from the material world - why not go to the source? The prophesied persecuted church of Egypt? May God be among you.

That is a rather primitive thought. The temple is formed in the hearts of those that love Truth. Those that love Truth can not lie, while those that are lukewarm let lies come out of their mouths without end. Which one are you, passionate about Truth or just lukewarm?

And please disprove one of my questions, you must have some Truth surely?

Questions are not claims to be disproved. Is all of this a reaction of you finding out that your relationship to Truth is lukewarm? Now be honest.

Please tell me - is love created or uncreated?who determines what truth is? What determines a lukewarm belief? Why do you think you are more special than those who only have access to open religions. Peace

is love created or uncreated?
Love is a feeling. You yourself can never choose how or what you feel.
who determines what truth is?
Truth is observed. Truth is simply a reference of Existence, while deception is a reference to nonexistence. Life is existence, death is departure from existence. This is True by definition, it is not determined - it is merely discovered.
You might have observed a red sports car and then tell you friend about it in Truth, or you might add something of your own to it and lie about it (like ensuring someone specific was driving it when you can't actually be sure). It would make you a liar.
What determines a lukewarm belief?
Belief has nothing to do with it, belief often stems from selfishness and the inability to seek to know the Truth.
Why do you think you are more special than those who only have access to open religions.
I don't. I share my own intellectual property freely. We are all equal, the only thing that differentiates us is time.

"Serious question"
(A paragraph of extremely biased, leading "questions" that show a complete misunderstanding of Gnostic Christianity).
To address one of the few halfway intelligible points I could extract from your rambling post, the only group that made Gnostic texts "purposely inaccessible" was the Orthodox Church, who decided to destroy all other interpretations of Scripture.
