I think we all got more than enough of being spellbound by new -- only I have discovered this -- kind of revelations from the Bible, during our time in Lee's local church.
And now we come across Cahn, who sees something new in scripture. And it's lathered all over with Old Testament favors.
I'm shooting from memory now, so please, I beg you, fact check the following. I think I can back it up if challenged.
Christianity started early-on to be very diversified. But there were three main veins, or ways of salvation, being claimed :
One was: Salvation by keeping the Law.
Two was: Salvation by gnosis (hidden teachings).
And three was: Salvation by grace, or faith.
From my limited understanding, but plenty of reading, there were many different kinds of Gnostics too, but again, three main types, back then: Jewish, Christian, and Pagan.
And I would place Cahn mainly in the Jewish camp, with Christian mixed in.
Still, to be kind to sis Nell, and maybe be a good boy for UntoHim, that doesn't mean Cahn is not a seer.
Our question here is: Seer of what? And Nell is pouring her heart out to tell us. Bless her pea-pickin little heart.
