The term Source, as God; Lots of people are using the term Source for God, as a general term not part of any religion. I would ask you to do your research, because Sourse came from the Hebrew Bible, the Prodistan Old Testament, and the Cathic Old Testament. The word for "source" in Biblical and modern Hebrew is makor (spelled מָקוֹר), which literally translates to a spring, fountain, or wellspring. The very foundation and source of the God described in the Old Testament (the Hebrew Bible). The term source connects to spring and fountain because they all describe the point where a stream or river begins or where water naturally wells up from the ground. Etymology and Shared Roots • Latin Root: The connection comes from the Latin word fons (genitive fontis), which translates directly to "source" or "spring". the Hebrew Bible and the Protestant Old Testament share the same core text, but they differ significantly in book division, order, and theological arrangement, while Catholic and Orthodox Old Testaments include extra books. https://www.thekjvstore.com/articles/comparing-the-hebrew-bible-and-the-old-testament/ https://aleteia.org/2025/02/28/hebrew-bible-vs-old-testament-more-than-an-editorial-choice/ The Hebrew Bible uses several terms to refer to a water spring or fountain: • ʿAyin (עַיִן): The most common biblical term for a natural spring. Literally meaning "eye," it portrays a spring as the "eye of the landscape"—a bright, open pool of water visible on the surface. Examples include ʿAyin-gedi (Song of Songs 1:14) or the Gihon Spring. • Maʿyan (מַעְיָן): A derivative noun of ʿayin, also meaning a natural spring or fountain of flowing water. It appears frequently in descriptions of the Promised Land as "a land of brooks of water, of fountains (maʿyanot), and depths..." (Deuteronomy 8:7). • Maqor (מָקוֹר): A noun meaning a spring, fountain, or source (derived from a verb meaning to dig). It is used for physical water flows as well as metaphorically, such as God being the "spring (maqor) of living water" (Jeremiah 2:13). • Mabbuaʿ (מַבּוּעַ): A masculine noun meaning a gushing spring or fountain, derived from the root to utter or gush forth. It appears in passages like Isaiah 35:7 and Ecclesiastes 12:6. • Gihon (גִּיחֹן): The proper name of the prominent natural spring in Jerusalem (the Gihon Spring), derived from giakh (to burst forth or gush). Protestant Old Testament; • Ayin (עַיִן): Literally means "eye", metaphorically applied to a natural spring or "eye of the landscape" where water bubbles up from the ground. It frequently appears in place names like En Gedi (Spring of the Kid). • Ma'yan (מַעְיָן): Derived directly from 'ayin, this masculine noun specifically means a spring, fountain, or flowing source of subterranean water. It is used both literally (e.g., in Psalm 104:10) and figuratively. • Maqor (מָקוֹר): Refers to a source, spring, or fountain (often from a dug or natural gushing source). It is famously used metaphorically by the prophet Jeremiah, who describes God as the "fountain [maqor] of living waters" (Jeremiah 2:13, 17:13) The Catholic old testament; 1). Jeremiah 17:13 New Catholic Bible 13 O Lord, you are the hope of Israel; all those who abandon you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will have their names inscribed in the netherworld because they have forsaken the Lord, the source of living water. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2017%3A13%20&version=NCB 2). Jeremiah 2:13 New Catholic Bible 13 For my people are guilty of two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that hold no water. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%202%3A13&version=NIV So, you can see that the term; Source, as God comes from the Hebrew bible, the Protestant Old Testament, and the Catholic Old Testament. It translates to "spring" or "fountain". By using this term, you are praying to the Hebrew God, and the God of the old testament. If you are looking for a general term, this isn't it. You need to do research into where words come from, because the have meaning. Myself, I am a Gostic. As for Gostism, gospels where discovered in 1945 writen in the time of Jesus. These writings are actual gospels from the time of Jesus. The Bible is heavenly edited and was chaged over time to controal people, telling a completely different story about Jesus then what actually happened. There are many videos on youtube about Gostism, and the Nag Hammadi library, that were discovered in December 1945 (or late 1945) near the town of Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt. You can watch the videos for your self. I beleive that the Nag Hammadi library needs to be made public so that everyone can read for them selfs and traslate it for them selfs, to understand what really happened with Jesus. The primary collection of Gnostic texts (the Nag Hammadi library) was discovered in December 1945 (or late 1945) near the town of Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt. Key Details of the Discovery • Who found them: Local Egyptian farmers, including Muhammad 'Ali al-Samman, found the texts while digging for fertilizer (sebhakh). • How they were stored: The writings were sealed inside a large red earthenware jar buried in the sand. • What was found: 13 leather-bound papyrus codices containing 52 mostly Gnostic treatises. The Gnostic Treatises date back to the 2nd-3rd AD written in Coptic. Keep in mimd that the only reason the Gnostic Treatises are dated to the 2nd and 3rd centurry and not earleir is primarily because Irenaeus of Lyon explicitly criticized and summarized the works, and he wrote about them around 180 CE. That does not give a true date to the Gnostic Treatises, only the date of the first person (they know of) that wrote about them. • Where they are now: The collection is housed at the Coptic Museum in Cairo, Egypt. These text contain gospels, writen from the time of Jesus. • The Gospel of Thomas: A collection of 114 secret sayings and parables attributed to Jesus, emphasizing self-knowledge (gnosis) rather than narrative accounts of the crucifixion or resurrection. • The Gospel of Philip: A Gnostic text exploring sacramental theology, mystical transformation, and alternative portrayals of figures like Mary Magdalene. • The Gospel of Truth: A Valentinian Gnostic meditation on ignorance, error, and the recovery of divine truth through Christ the revealer, found in the Nag Hammadi collection and the Jung Codex. • The Gospel of Mary (Magdalene): Unearthed in 1896 in Cairo (Berlin Gnostic Codex) with later papyrus fragments found at Oxyrhynchus, highlighting Mary's spiritual primacy and secret post-resurrection teachings. • The Gospel of Judas: Discovered in Middle Egypt in 1978, presenting Judas Iscariot not as a simple traitor, but as the lone disciple who understood Jesus's request to shed his physical body. • The Apocryphon of John (The Secret Book of John): Found in multiple copies at Nag Hammadi and the Berlin Codex, detailing the Gnostic creation myth, the Pleroma, and the lower creator god (the Demiurge). • Other Associated Coptic/Gnostic Treatises: Includes the Gospel of the Egyptians, Pistis Sophia (Faith Wisdom), and the Books of Jeu (found in the Bruce Codex). Translated text of the Nag Hammadi Library are; • The Nag Hammadi Library in English (Edited by James M. Robinson): The classic, comprehensive single-volume translation produced by the Coptic Gnostic Library Project. • The Nag Hammadi Scriptures (Edited by Marvin Meyer): A modern, revised, and updated complete English translation featuring all 52 ancient texts (including the Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Mary, and Apocryphon of John). • Accessible Introductions: Various smaller paperback overviews and selections are also regularly published (such as Charles River Editors' The Nag Hammadi Library: The History and Legacy of the Ancient Gnostic Texts). People really need to do there own translating of these texts for them selves though, so we know what really happened. To much manipulation and changing of Jesus's words has gone on, People need these original unaltered text to know for sure what really happend. Push to get this text printed for the public, the original unaltered text for the public, and share with people where to find it.
