Default What Bible verses attack Gnosticism? Also, please explain the verses in respect to th

@ Seek God. Wait one minute here. Gnostics believe Jesus is fully divine. Don't they?

None, because they were removed from the bible prior to Nicean Council in the 4Th century.

Convenient, isn't it?

John 3
18 "Whoever believes (piste- Strong's 4100; to confide in, to trust) in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God?s one and only Son."

It's not knowledge that saves you. Knowledge is of course a part of the process, but God chose certain people from before the worlds were formed, and they have a chance to respond to Him in the way which brings his grace and peace to you.

So knowledge alone does not save, even belief alone does not saved. Faith is an action, based upon belief, sustained by confidence. Knowledge is only a part, belief is only a part, and confidence is only a part.

Ephesians 1
4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to son ship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will? 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

There is only one God , not many that's one truth ...we would be wise to pursue truth ...

Deut 32:39 "See now that I myself am He! There is no God besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand.

Are you serious?! Bible verses that disprove Gnosticism? That would only be ALL! the verses that teach Jesus is fully God the Son, fully deity in nature and substance. Here's a couple to get you started ... Consider 3 times, that Jesus clearly identified Himself as fully God, in His very nature and substance. His enemies clearly understood His words. So should you ?
When Jesus healed a paralyzed man, as told in Matthew Chapter 9, He told him, ?your sins are forgiven.? Jesus? enemies also heard Him, and called it blasphemy! Why? Only God can forgive sins, that is, release the eternal punishment our sins deserve. Notice! Jesus did not correct their ?misunderstanding?. Jesus? enemies clearly understood His claim to be the sin-forgiving, miracle-working Son of God. Do you?
Another time, Jesus called God His own Father, John 5:17-18. Again, did His enemies misunderstand that He was making Himself equal with God? No! Did Jesus even attempt to correct their misunderstanding? Not at all!
One more?actually, there are several more ?Jesus told His enemies, those who sought to kill Him, ?Destroy this temple and in 3 days I will raise it up.? John explains that Jesus was referring to the ?temple? of His body.? Only God can raise the dead and Jesus said He would raise Himself from the dead ~and then He did it ~ something no other religious leader, teacher or prophet ever did! Read John 2:19-21.
Here?s a bonus for you. Read Jesus? clearest statement of all that He was fully God in nature and substance at Luke 22:70 when He was on trial!
He can give you abundant life now and eternal life to come if you confess your sins to Him, turn from them and ask His forgiveness, trusting that He took the punishment your sins deserved on His cross.
Be sure to read the verses ~
Matthew 9:2-7; John 5:17-18; John 2:19-21; John 10:30-33; John 8:58-59; John 14:6; Luke 4:33-35; Luke 22:70; Romans 2:4-5; Romans 3:23-24; James 2:10; Hebrews 9:27; 1 John 1:8-9; Acts 3:19; Romans 5:8; Romans 10:9-10; Romans 10:13; Ephesians 2:8-9; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 3:18; John 3:36; 1 John 5: 11-13; WNW.GodsLoveProven.com
