Tenerife by Bus

Tenerife by Bus: "Tenerife is a very popular holiday destination in the Canary Islands.

The Hypostasis of the Archons: Gnosticism, The Roman Empire and the Myth of Christ.

The Hypostasis of the Archons: Gnosticism, The Roman Empire and the Myth of Christ.: "The words “Pistis” and “Sophia” mean “Faith” and “Wisdom”. It is the name given by the Gnostics to the female spiritual principle. She is their goddess. It’s a startling fact that this Christian group acknowledged a goddess figure in their pantheon, and that they equated the God of the Old Testament with such negative concepts as blind thought and blasphemy."
