Most gnostic sects did not admit faith (pistis) to be a sufficient or even a necessary prerequisite to salvation and contrasted it with knowledge (gnosis) which was acquired through secret teachings, some of them allegedly given by Jesus. At least do some research before replying with smug self-assurance.

>knowledge (gnosis)
KNOWLEDGE of WHAT you mouth breathing retard
pistis sophia, faith and wisdom go hand in hand. idc what some gnostic sects believed, the bible and the gnostic gospels make it very clear on how to escape

>KNOWLEDGE of WHAT
That is the entire point of the gnostic project you massive fucking faggot. Gaining insight into the nature of reality. If you don't know what you're talking about then just refrain from posting and embarrassing yourself further.
>faith and wisdom
Are you this stupid and incapable of basic reading comprehension? The point isn't that faith and knowledge go hand in hand, it's that faith is not the keystone of gnostic soteriology, except in Marcion's model which is far from being accepted by most other sects.
>the bible
Not all gnostics were early Christians, actually most gnostics weren't. Again, educate yourself.
>make it very clear
Nope.

it was a rhetorical question you absolute troglodyte. gnosis is all about psersonal knowledge of the hidden father of preexistence, the one supreme over everything.
>it's that faith is not the keystone of gnostic soteriology
faith is paramount

you are still thinking in terms of religion, not teachings of knowledge. you can find gnosis in the Gita or Hermetic teachings too, its the one absolute truth that prevails over everything.

again you show how little you know, please dont bother replying again.

Holy fuck you've read a wikipedia article and now you think you've got gnosticism nailed down, when all you've done is mix it up with your garbage new age opinions into a mockery of what it is. Your hot takes are fucking garbage and you haven't the slightest clue what the fuck you're talking about.
>gnosis is all about psersonal knowledge
If you had done more than skim the wiki article you'd know that gnosis is not conventional knowledge but transcendent knowledge and therefore acquired through praxis.
>faith is paramount
Not really.
>ngmi
Not an argument, dumb fuck.
>you are still thinking in terms of religion
Says the retard who keeps bringing up faith to a discussion about gnosis.
The Gita is about bhakti, about as far removed from gnosis as you can get. Hermeticism has always intermingled with gnostic teachings and Asclepius is part of the Nag Hammadi codices, it makes no sense to bring it up separately, anyone researching gnosticism would also implicitly be looking into the hermetic tradition.
>again you show how little you know
Ironic considering all of your takes up to now are pleb-tier basic bitch bullshit you most likely got from youtube videos and that don't even come close to scratching the surface.

absolutely untrue, read the nag hammadi. mind is everything, you only have to think.
>Not really.
youre not getting far without it
>Says the retard who keeps bringing up faith to a discussion about gnosis.
faith has nothing to do with religious doctrine, faith is about that truth will prevail in a world of lies
>pleb-tier basic bitch bullshit you most likely got from youtube videos
you are talking about cults and half baked truths, its clear you didnt put much time into studying the actual texts and far from understanding them

have a nice day
