The only esoteric christianity that makes sense is gnosticism, and you're better off cutting off the 'christianity' part and just keeping the gnosis

This just says a lot about your own cultural anthemias, Christ himself is key

It doesn't actually say anything. Jesus isn't key to anything in gnosticism, Christ as an aeon might be but only in certain sects

Lmao

You do realise that Gnosticism is actually Jewish and not Greek, right?

lmao
You do realize Manichaeanism and other forms of hard dualistic gnostic religions exist apart from the post-Christian gnostics which are only a historical minority, right?

Don't bring up shit you know nothing about.

> Manichaeanism
Is a purposefully syncretic religion, mani was a gnostic Christian and then he decided to create a world religion which brought together the big religions fonte time.
It wasn’t apart from gnostic Christianity at all

You could have mentioned mandaeism, but that’s centred around John the Baptist and very clearly of Jewish origin. It’s not hard to imagine that gnostic Christian ideas bled into that group, making their ideas evolve into what it is now today.
