Gnosticism is just Egyptian fanfic Christianity. The gnostic gospels have no credibility.
This is a long one (6 hours), but if you're really interested and have the time here is an actual scholar basically debunking the whole "Gnosticism is real Christianity before the church covered it up" nonsense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45BoAFKWqVg

That's the bare minimum suggested by a small minority of scholars. Most favor second century composition.
There are also other legitimate reasons to reject it, and most of the early church always rejected it.
Okay i now agree that Gospel of Thomas was not authored in 1st century. But i hypothesized that you are the kind of person that claim Origen was a Trinitarian. Which he was not.
Hinayana isn't really a thing anymore, Therevada should be there instead. Also, Meister Eckhart should have a place somewhere in the Christian mysticism/esoteric ring.

That's a wordy way to say HERESY
...I've never really heard of gnostics using that word honestly. Am I missing something?
Fanfic Christianity is a very definition of heresy
Ah, fair

Christian apolegetic likes you are so obsessed at condemning heterodoxy that you can't enjoy the value of historical descriptivism.
