the whole point is that Solomon doesn't call relationships with others and with God meaningless, and he highlights that everything is meaningless with God. Creation is purposeless without its Creator, brainlet.

Gnosticism is just a form of sola-scriptura subjectivist protestantism, which is just a form of atheism. They think they can just pick up scripture meant for God's people and interpret it away in whatever way they wish, like this anon reading in paganist dialectics/dualisms into Genesis

>Like the dualism between God and the waters of the Deep right?

It's not the least bit surprising that gnostic resurgences stem from this highly materialistic society which gave rise to all of these other forms of gnosticism to begin with.

Is there anything more laughable than the cringe faith knows as gnosticism? It only exists as a larp on the internets.

Daily reminder that nature is distinct from personhood. Christ can willingly enter into time by assuming humanity, but the abstract impersonal Divine Essence cannot, as it doesn't even make to say such things and it would be completely absurd. Christ is not the Plotinistic One, we don't mean the same thing as the philosophers and islamists when we say "Christ is God".

The metanarrative connecting the Old Testament and New Testament is immense, and almost all of 4chan's critiques of Christianity tend to miss this. Matthew and Hebrews highlight this critical connection, and it's amplified once you've actually read the Old Testament. It's quite fun.
