Searching about this only seems to get me results on the gospel of Mary. I'm curious on what the differing views were. I've heard anywhere between having the same views as Christians today to adopting Jesus to not believing in her virginity at all and I'm curious as if anybody knows more on this.
Gnostics deny the body of Christ.To them Christ only appeared to be born, only appeared to eat, only appeared to die, and rose again without a body. Thomas never put his finger in the wound of Christ, Christ only appeared to be wounded to him.This is all anathema.
>>18121491gospel of philip in nag hammadi says the holy spirit is the divine feminine and identifies mary as the mystical embodiment of the holy spirit
>>18121500I know she has a high status and is essentially the soul in Neoplatonic traditions, but it leads even more questions on their views on the virgin birth because, if you take that literally, it implies that she allowed herself to give birth.
>>18121507Not saying gnosticism isn't filled with insanity nor that Christianity as we know it doesn't have it, I just am curious from an academic perspective.
