This is funny because it's a little-known secret that the writer of Apocalypse was a Gnostic.
>>42528549Also funny that it sounds like "the writer of Apocalypse was agnostic".
>>42528549the real funny thing is that the qabbalist are all gnostics they just larp like theyre not
>>42528549Ha ha ha. HA HA HA HAAAH! My sides. Fucking hilarious, dude. I bet you get invited to lots of parties.
>>42528549It's got 22 chapters. IYKYK.
>>42528549John the beloved was not a gnostic you fool
>>42531098Johninnate tradition is Gnostic and it comes out if Alexandria. "John the beloved" is from the gospel of John which is the gnostic gospel. It's giving special significance to John. Revlation, the Gospel of John, and the Secret Book of John are all Johninnate texts. The Templars who were a gostic order, claim the tradition goes all the way back to John the Baptist. All these texts were written in Alexandria and have Greek and Egyptian influences. The Gospel of John and the Secret Book of John are also heavily influenced by platoism. It's why the Gospel of John is the one that stands out and differs from the other 3. It's from a different tradition.Now you don't have to belive the gnostics at all. Seeing them as a hearsy is valid. But you would have to toss the Gospel of John and Revlation out of your bible and just stick with the synoptics.
>>42528549> Yaldabaoth fucked up creation> We dont understand the primordial waters as we aren't from them> We are from yaldabaoth and we are aware of how he fractured the universe .. we will attempt best we can to fix our side w/ no guarantee of anything else> We will fuck up because our further nor us respect the things that came prior or the higher order.Yeah cool, LLMS can even parse the structure of it that easy. It's likely a good thing people dont understand how deep abraxas goes and that the universe has two aspects.. Those from yaldabaoth are highly ignorant of even though they are contained within it. Even though their father Yaldabaoth is clearly dying within the higher order of.
>>42528549Kabbalah as a whole practice probably dates back to around the sixth century, and is more influenced by neopythagoreanism than gnosticism.
>>42531190saint john was not a gnostic and acts recounts the early church contending against them. saint john was important to gnosticism because his books are used in their hellenized (greek) gnosticism
>>42531190>>42532503I always read John as an antignostic response to Thomas, personally.
>>42532518we have no evidence the original gospels were written as a response to anything gnostic, or if the gnostic gospels were ever written by an apostle. the early church specifically accused the gnostics of passing around fraudulent gospels
>>42532522Thomas and Secret Mark are the only two apocryphal gospels of any stripe that I think have any evidence for being genuine but that's a whole other topic.
>>42531098the author of the book of revelation and the author of the johannine gospel are not the same person. any new testament scholar can tell you this.
