Saint Paul, the Apostle to the Apostles.
Saint Paul was the apostle to the apostles because he and Valentinus were the only ones who had truly received the highest Pleromic revelation of Christ possible. The post resurrected Jesus of Matthew, Mark, John, Luke, Mary, Peter, Thomas, Judas, James and others revealed to Saint Paul a mystery which was hidden for ages and this mystery allowed the impossible that is the salvation to both Jews and the Gentiles. The good news of Saint Paul.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes--the Jew first and also the Gentile.
I dare not ask why God chose to reveal this mystery to Saint Paul and not to the other apostles perhaps he was the chosen one. He never met the human Jesus who walked on earth along with the other twelve apostles but so what, all the apostles did saw the post resurrected Jesus and hence all the apostles including Saint Paul are even in that context.
Both Saint Paul and Valentinus truly received the highest Pleromic revelation.
Perhaps no man in the history of the world has been so brutally attacked for speaking the truth other than Saint Paul, the Jews hated him because he undermined the Jewish Law and hated him for a number of other reasons, the Greeks saw him as a charlatan who was trying to seduce the pagans to Christianity, the Ebionites said that he converted to Judaism just to win the daughter of a Jewish priest, most Christians accuse him as being the culprit to twist the doctrine of Jesus, the academic people consider him to be an epileptic patient, scholars who know the truth are silent and don't come out and speak out the truth about Saint Paul.
Oh that's just great you morons isn't it, you all have failed to understand the pneumatic heart of one man, Saint Paul, its time to set those accusations straight and give him the reverence which he truly deserves.
What's the proof? From Saint Paul to Valentinus, one vision, one doctrine.
For in Christ dwells all the Aeons of the pleroma in bodily form (Colossians 2:9)
It was quite amazing that Aeons were in the Father and that they were able to emanate in as much as they were not able to perceive and recognize the one in whom they were. (Gospel of Truth)
This kind of knowledge and conviction can only come from revelation not by book reading or not by being influenced by other mystery schools and not by making up things on your own by wishful thinking. If it was all made up then why is that Saint Paul and a century later Saint Valentinus are adamant about their doctrine of Christ. Saint Paul never met Jesus and Valentinus never met Saint Paul and yet our mode of communication is only one thing i.e. Gnosis Kardias.
Ptolemy in his letter to Flora says that we too have received the apostolic tradition and there is a continuity of tradition from Saint Paul to Valentinus and to Valentinians and only those who have knowledge of the tradition really know what a great doctrine Saint Paul is preaching in his Gospel and not some moron who writes rubbish about Saint Paul.
Saint Paul just like the Valentinians considered himself to be outside the Law because the original Law is already written in the hearts of the pneumatics and hence they do not sin by nature.
1 Corinthians 9 To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; to those who are outside the law, as outside the law, though not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.…
Romans 2:15 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.
Neither Jew nor Gentile but a Gnostic who is one with Christ.
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Valentinians are the real Pauline Christians and we are back. A tradition without its rituals is as good as dead but the fact that our entire philosophical setting which is based on Paul's Pleroma Theology is intact and rock solid even at this current age and time is enough to make us believe in the pneumatic Christ and return back to the Pleroma where we came from, which is the abode of the Aeons.
Valentinianism is going to stay and its tradition will raise back from India because in this part of the world this religion is the orthodoxy and we absolutely love it.
