I'm taking a look into Gnosticism, and reading things like the Gospel of Thomas in multiple translations, and I'm remembering specific childhood experiences in church. Specifically consciously rejecting the premise of the Nicene Creed which seeks to raise Jesus to the level of the Logos, making him into deity (which is not entirely correct imo, Yeshua was not even close to finished with the octave.) Looking into the religion I grew up with I'm uncovering power seeking behavior of the early church which has been swept under the rug and overlooked through constant repetition and dogmatic assertion.

Does anyone here have any similar experience remembering contradictions that you consciously noted then forgot?
