They don't, they were discarded for being blatant and low quality forgeries.

It's full of instances of Jesus laughing and then subsequently correcting someone, iirc. It's basically an early form of edgy faggot pseud nonsense.

trash

>>17412614
Thomas BTFOs all other gospels, thats fuckin how

>>17412614
Not as good, but well suited for their contrarian audience.

>>17413015
Gnosticism precedes the catholic church. Aren't you the contrarian?

>>17413047
And yet he was named John the Baptist, not John the Gnostic.

>>17412614
The very idea that gnosis = salvation is refuted by the text of Genesis, which states that Eve's desire to know good and evil, brought disaster. I genuinely don't know how gnostics think that repeating the same sin with new words is going to change anything.

What's gnosticism?

>>17412631
Based

>>17412639
No Christian denomination believes in this trash

enjoy your archonic lies

>>17412614
They are beautiful and full of truth from
the lips of Christ Himself. Not distorted interpretations filtered through the smokescreens of Roman Papism.

Only legitimate books of the OT are Enoch, Job, Ecclesiastes, Isaiah and Psalms.
>>17414086
Imagine actually believing in the deceptions of the Council of Nicea.

>>17412614
Gnosticism is literally closer to satanism than actual modern day satanism and postulates that eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil was a just action against a demiurge, e.g. a literal satanic view. Haven't read them because they aren't really worth reading.

the Catholic church is born at Pentecost.
Gnosticism preexisted Christianity but inside Christianity it's just an heresy.

>>17414103
>Imagine actually believing in the deceptions of the Council of Nicea.
Imagine believing the rants of a German Zoroastrian seethe magician over 2000 years of people fucking agreeing.

>>17414641
>2000 years of wars, cruelty, massacres, blind delusion, ignorance, manipulation, power lust, infighting, schisms, oppression and propaganda
truly there was only ever one true Christian, and he died on the cross.

>>17414634
>the Catholic church is born at Pentecost.
Why are larpers so cringey? All dogma that differentiates cathocucks from gnostics developed later.

>>17414655
>actually believes history as rewritten by buttmad virgins filtered hard by Aquinas at the Jesuit seminary growing to build the French Revolution
I am on the side of civilization.
You are not.

>>17414849
so you admit gnosticism is a deviation and a heresy while Nicaea is a natural development, good.

Shut your stupid atheist mouth if you are too retarded to make a logical coherent sentence you larper.

>>17413136
Unironically based

Of all the dead end religious schools of thought to pursue, why Gnosticism? Studying it as a reference to competing ideas at the time and to understand a different cosmology, sure, but do YOU, whoever is reading this and isnt already a Christian, a Hermeticist, or both, sincerely believe it? In the depths of your soul do you feel the resonance of faith, and upon prayer and reflection do you know ecstasis for the goal of escaping the Demiurge? Is this pursuit of yours absolutely geniune or is it to fill a void that you do not want occupied by something more mainstream, or even worse, something which requires more effort?

I am on the side of God and civilization.
Your pathetic thinly hidden Zoroastrian sorcery has been rightfully excised from history and theology and relegated to the rambling of the schizophrenics and liberals.
I will survive your degeneracy. You have no future.

So many archons in this thread.

>>17415033
why would you send my your selfie?
you are as ridiculous as a Marxist declaring that everyone that btfos him in argument (anyone up and including 8 year olds) suffers from false consciousness.

>>17415050
You ok Anon?

>>17415054
I am perfect
you are projecting.

>>17415058
Projecting what?

>>17415065
upsetness unto other people

>>17415115
Maybe you are the one upset, and projecting? I'm very calm, and simply asked if you felt ok.

>>17413863

Catholics insist that the world as such is God's magnum opus. Which is it?

>>17413863
>Eve's desire to know good and evil, brought disaster.
>He hasn't read "Hypostasis of the Archons".

>>17414088
Jesus never said so.

>>17415123
>Maybe you are the one upset, and projecting? I'm very calm, and simply asked if you felt ok.

>>17415386
Now you're projecting.

>>17415379
he actually and obviously argued FROM the old testament even adapting his argument to the denomination of those he was speaking with: if you only accepted Genesis he only argued from Genesis, and so on.
>>17415302
and he's right not to read it.

>>17415394
>and he's right not to read it.
>Glorying in your ignorance

Hermetics aren't Gnostics REEEEEEEE

>>17412614
They are all mutually complementary, and doctrinally cohesive.

>>17412631
>>17414086
You are an unselfconscious tool.

>>17412631
You mean like Paul and Revelations?

>>17412631
>>They don't, they were discarded for being blatant and low quality forgeries.
the 4 gospels are crap too and not early jewism
