We plan to go deeper into the early first century Gnostics, and how &amp; why they were eventually hunted down and killed by the Roman church.  Their writings were almost completely destroyed by that same wonderful institution, but re-discovered in 1945, hidden centuries ago, in an attempt to save them.</p><p>It worked; we have much of their writings today, called the Nag Hammadi scriptures.  </p><p>I read the book, &#8220;<em><strong>Not in His Image</strong></em>&#8221;, by <a href="https://wikibin.org/articles/john-lamb-lash.html">John Lamb Lash</a>, which covers much of this violent suppression and what the Gnostics were really about.  I&#8217;d highly recommend my readers check it out, even though John&#8217;s vivid description of a &#8220;<em>Christian</em>&#8221; mob brutally killing a Gnostic woman named Hypatia in 415AD hits the reader hard, at the start of the book.</p><h3><em>The murder pretty much officially started the dark ages of suppression  regarding the truth about Christianity.  </em></h3><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;6f604caa-6594-481f-ad76-556b05e173ed&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;lg&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Not in His Image discussion with John Lamb Lash&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:89344047,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Dennis (redpilloftruth.com)&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;Former pharmacist and computer programmer / web developer, now mystic and writer.
