What do you think of the Nag Hammadi codexes?
They were buried for a reason.
>>23537576>The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis) and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves."
>>23537576What's the most shocking or insane thing in any of these books anyway? I've read bits of them and summaries and none of it seems that extreme. There's a few lines of text that if you try very hard you can interpret as Jesus calling Mary Magdalene "my companion". That's about it though.
>>23538313>Demiurge rapes Eve>There's a Pharisee named Arimanios after the evil deity from actual Parsis tradition>Yaldabaoth isn't even the worst thing in the cosmos some evil things rise up out of an infinitely black abyss and he's so revolted by them he banishes them
>>23538305Funny how many things in the bible don't make sense through a catholic pov but make perfect sense from a gnostic pov. Makes you think, doesnt it?
