Affected Teaching

Once again we see an attack on the place of Heaven. The Gnostics did not believe in such a place so they took out the location of this temple. By removing, �of heaven� they are removing the fact that this judgment is coming from God who is in Heaven. Without �of heaven� this could refer to any temple that one wishes to make, whether in heaven or on earth. This is a matter or removing prophetic doctrine from the Scriptures. (Rev 11:19 MLV) And the temple of God which is in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple, and there became lightning and voices and thunders and an earthquake and great hail.
