And I can't remember where I heard it, but someone told me it was the name of a fallen angel (or demon). Would you know anything about this, Dr. D.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!R.Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433343215023187850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-72717615939969239322009-04-08T09:50:00.000-07:002009-04-08T09:50:00.000-07:00A question...........

It seems this notion of possessing the "Name" comes from the Book of Revelation where it is said to be written on their foreheads (Revelation 14:1 cf. also 22:4)? <BR/><BR/>And now my question(s)...... What does possessing the "Name" mean in Gnostic tradition..... and does this particular Gnostic notion have a following in our time?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401109361685316902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-28152679832691485162009-04-07T12:54:00.000-07:002009-04-07T12:54:00.000-07:00I wish I had something profound to say, but all I ...I wish I had something profound to say, but all I can think of is "That's really cool."Josh McManawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03503876183620206761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-65969066583208201962009-04-07T10:49:00.000-07:002009-04-07T10:49:00.000-07:00Thanks for that, April.
