I’m still undecided between Team Yahweh and Team Sophia , but I learned a lot reading these comments. Thank you gentlemen. I genuinely appreciate you expending the time.

Some words I learned today:

Hermeneutics: The study of the theory and practice of interpretation.

Diachronic or Diachronous: from the Greek word ??????????? (Diahronikos), is a term for something happening over time

Anachronism: from the Greek ??? (ana: up, against, back, re-) and ?????? (chronos: time)— is an inconsistency in some chronological arrangement, especially a chronological misplacing of persons, events, objects, or customs in regard to each other.

Exegesis: (from the Greek ???????? from ?????????? ‘to lead out’) is a critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially a religious text. Traditionally the term was used primarily for exegesis of the Bible; however, in contemporary usage it has broadened to mean a critical explanation of any text.

my point is that I like more than imagination to fill in gaps. If one is going to say the texts mean XYZ, then imagination should play a very small role.

I don’t understand the point of this thread.
JLL has admitted that he uses his imagination to fill the gaps on a disjointed and fragmentary myth – what is Heiser trying to prove beyond that?
BTW – I read quite a lot of both of you and think your works are indivividually exceptional.
The reassuring thing to me about Lash is his resistance to this ancient astronaut disinformation baloney started by Sitchin to convince us that all we ever were and will be are slaves. Also, the fact that Lash has no discernable business model around his cosmology suggests he genuinely believes what he writes – he may be wrong, but the belief is sincere.
I’m not sure how good a BS-meter I possess, but as a practicing physician for over 15 years, I have a finely tuned capacity for sensing sincerity. John Lash sincerely believes what he’s saying.
Keep up the good work – Heiser and Lash!!

which gnosticism do you like best? By its own documents (sans the Church) it is a wide variety of ideas, many in conflict with each other.

So which gnosticism has it right?

I have been a student of Gnosticism for decades. The work done by John Lash is impeccable.
It may not seem familiar to many because of his synthetic process. His research expanded my understanding by leaps and bounds….to each their own.Depends what you are looking for.
If you want access to the mystery tradition behind the wall of misunderstanding this is it. The church has warped the context to which we can examine this field of study….Michael
Thanx John for all your work…
