because it invented a non Christian new religion based on a kooky synthesis of various pop-platonic pagan ideas and esoteric magical stuff?

how can you read about the elaborate ogdoad/Pleroma/aeons etc and think there’s any basis for that stuff in the life or teachings of jesus of nazereth? it’s clearly just stuff these dudes made up when they were high out of their minds on alexandrian drugs

Some of it survived. Wtf does Catholic Mary veneration have to do with anything in the NT? Based on Paul's writing, it clearly wasn't an early feature of the church either.

Denied basic principle of Christianity- believe in Christ and be saved. Said you have to have this “secret knowledge” to be saved in addition to belief in Christ

The answer is that mainstream Christianity was and remains a Jewish scam meant to force goyim to accept yahweh as their god and therefore make Jews the center of their universe. Marcionism/gnosticism/catharism/bogomils/etc had a perspective that went against that, therefore it had to be destroyed.

This is why the pope wears a yarmulke, gave Jews the exclusive right to money lend, and destroyed every other religion other than Judaism. And it’s also why he kisses black feet.

You guys deserve this fate for being suckered

Protestants worship Jews, don’t make me link to pew data or Kevin Macdonald. They handed america to Jews on a silver platter.

Gnosticism is an umbrella term meaning a lot of different things to different people, but its core belief is possession of a God soul that does not need biblical textual mediation to connect to the source. That and the OT god is an evil demiurge

Protestantism’s core is Torah worship. Connecting to the Self versus connecting to the ego are very different things.

I don't care what "fashion" you use the word "self" in. If you refer to God as self, you are self-worshipping
