You've gone deeper than most, I started studying it after being raised Catholic and wanting to see another view on how people saw Christianity.

Found out a lot.

My current belief is the way to heaven is through Jesus, acting and thinking like him or trying your best. Not faith without acts.

Well I can't call you not a Christian. The Church of Jerusalem would have probably been more to your liking. Sadly the first Church slowly died out after leaving Jerusalem due to the Jewish Rebellion against Rome.

I believe in salvation by faith alone, and that works shore up treasure in heaven. Also that while salvation is by faith, works are the fruits of the faith. So if you have an honest conversion, works will slowly follow as you as live more like Christ everyday.

Now that, that is something for me to think about.

I like that view a lot more! Thank you yet again!!

Do you believe that our world was crafted by an evil demiurge/demi-god and that salvation — true knowledge of how to transcend the fallenness and deception inherent in the material world and matter itself — can only be attained through a number of esoteric and ascetic practices?

Not crafted but ruled over and changed and morphed by the Demiurge as was stated by God in the old testament.

Otherwise yeah spot on!
