Gnostic Church
The word church comes from O.E. cirice "church," from W.Gmc. *kirika, from Gk. kyriake (oikia) "Lord's (house)," from kyrios "ruler, lord." It is also used in the Bible in place of the Greek ἐκκλησία, ekklēsia, the basis of congregation or gathering.
The light of spiritual wisdom (gnosis) descends into the world from the superior worlds. The vehicle of that light is the gathering of illuminated beings who seek only to deliver that light to those in the worlds below.
...that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the epi-gnosis of Theos... he is the head of the soma [body], the ἐκκλησία [ekklēsia, church]... - Colossions 1
"Our Gnostic Church is the Transcendent Church. This church is found in the Superior Worlds. We also have many temples in the physical world. In addition, we have opened thousands of Gnostic Lumisials where Holy Rituals are celebrated and the secret doctrine of the Beloved Savior of the world is studied. We must not forget that our Gnostic Movement has both a school and a religion. It has already been decisively confirmed that Jesus the Christ was Gnostic. The Savior of the World was an active member of the cast of Essenes, mystics who never cut their hair or their beards. The Gnostic Church is the authentic primeval Christian Church whose first Pope was the Gnostic initiate called Peter. Paul of Tarsus belonged to that church. He was a Nazarene. The Nazarenes were another Gnostic sect. The primeval Christian Church was the true main esoteric trunk from which many other Neo-Christian sects sprung forth, such as: Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Adventism, the Armenian Church, etc. Frankly, we have made the resolution to make the root of Christianity, Gnosticism, publicly known. This is the primeval Christian Church." - Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony
