OP here. A couple people have tried to explain bits and pieces but I still don't get Gnosticism. I don't have time to decipher Gospel of Thomas or Tibetan Book of the Dead. The Bible and Book of Enoch is more then enough for me to chew on. Please explain the key points of Gnosticism without going too much into the history of it (I've gotten the intro a dozen times before)

What are the actual teachings of Jesus?
Which God is good, which God is bad?
Can I sin? Commandments still bad?
How do the Angels fit into all this? (Uriel, Michael etc)
Metatron?
How does prayer/fasting work in the Gnostic tradition?

I think you don't understand why the schizos here are so obsessed with it if you think there even is a singular answer to those questions. It has no tradition its a reconstruction based on half rotten scrolls and records of debate. It can be anything you want as long as everyone who ever disagrees with you in anyway with anything you have 'revealed' to you is just a soulless hylic who never mattered anyway
