JUDAISM, GNOSTICISM & THE GOSPEL
Chris continues his discussion about the Apostle Paul's warning concerning those who come preaching another Jesus and another Gospel.  In his second letter to the Corinthian Church, Paul reveals that the false teachers he confronts are Hebrews and Israelites.  How is it that their teaching was compared to the serpent's lie in the Garden of Eden?  The record of Scripture gives us clues about the history of Jewish apostasy in the Old Testament, as the children of Israel fell into idolatry.  At the same time, some modern histories trace Jewish Gnosticism to a pre-Christian era.  Was the apostle Paul warning about "Jewish Gnostics" in the first century?
