Gnosis with the Mostest
On more than one occasion, I've heard Episcopal priests use this quote from Teilhard de Chardin, "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but we are spiritual beings having human experience."
What sayeth ye readers? Is what the Frenchmen says true?

Think about what is eternal. Our human nature or our soul?
This human life is passing, it will be over in such a short expance of time compared to our eternal experience.
In general I would agree

Our church uses the NRSV, mainly because someone bought a bunch to put in the pews. I don't mind it, but I prefer the NIV and the NKJV. I also like the Jerusalem Bible. The advantage of the NRSV, RSV, and Jerusalem is that they have the deuteral-canonicals texts in them. (I like the old-time religion)
Oly,
I am an Episcopal priest. There are varieties of Episcopal Churches. Ours is more on the conservative side.
In defense of the ol' Jesuit he wasn't a Gnostic in the truest sense of the word. Pierre was a lot of strange things to be sure and often to the chagrin of Rome, but he wasn't anti-matter.
