Gnosticism is a phylosophy that\u00a0emphasizes\u00a0the search for a superior knowledge. Gnostics were teaching that this knowledge is not intelectual, but it is a knowledge that a common Christian is not capable to get.\u00a0Gnostics\u00a0thought that as soon as\u00a0a Christian takes possession over this extraordinary knowledge\u00a0he receives \u201csalvation\u201d. (International\u00a0Inductive Study Bible)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gnostics were teaching that this \u201cspiritual knowledge\u201d is mysterious and it is discovered only to some, only to the spiritual ones, while all other Christians were considered carnal by them.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Apostle Paul says that the true mystery of God is Jesus Christ because only His personal knowledge can bring forgiveness for each person.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The mystery of Christ is comprised in the Word of God and Apostle Paul wrote to Colossians:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned.

And this is just a cooling drink. But God wanted that the greatest mystery of humanity, that has to deal with the human souls to be known, and to be spread on the whole earth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The paradox is that people, instead of trying to know this mystery they posed all kind of obstacles on its way, they persecuted to prison and to death those who spread the mystery of Christ and they have done this to this day. Apostle Paul was imprisoned while writing this Epistle to Colossians. But the priority for him was to spread this mystery, the Gospel. It was a greater priority that his liberation from prison. This is well seen while reading the same verse I have cited previously.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Do you know the mystery of God, that is Christ? Have you received forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life by the knowledge of this mystery?
