I need to be off, it's a day of obligation after all.
Ah, if you’re Catholic know that I have no qualms with the individuals, just the system that controls them
That's a milquetoast motte definition of gnosticism, as is gospel of Thomas itself. That definition isn't all that objectionable on its face, and nor is this one example text.
What’s your definition?
That's a big assumption. That it even is. You seem to object to verse 114 in particular being included.
Well, most of the quotes are in the Bible too. And no, I personally have no issue with verse 114, that text is included in the source I copied and pasted…
One or the other must be rejected, and I think it's clear which.
The one currently controlled by pedophiles, who have used lies to cook up additions to canon and then used those additions to justify killing hundreds of thousands? Or you mean the one which says “think for yourself”?

The one which discourages the degeneracy, rather than like in 114, encouraging it.
The devil encourages you to open your mind too you know.
What’s your definition?
Ask 10 gnostics get 100 answers, but a focus on secret knowledge, loyalty to some other gods (usually thoth/hermes, sophia, some higher god of knowledge/wisdom above the demiurge...), a strong body-spirit duality with the flesh being corrupt, syncretic mishmashes of various other belief systems, and emphasis on alchemy and transformation and attaining the spiritual heaven or godliness through knowledge... It's more a set of beliefs which they'll share some commonalities on.

I'm glad we agree there can only be one.

Verse 114 is about the union of the spiritual and the material, yin and yang - not some weird tranny shit or however you’re interpreting it
Aka loyalty to God above satan (the god of this world, need I remind you, the Bible states)
You realize Genesis is sourced from the Sumerians right? Almost word-for-word
What’s inherently wrong with this? What you’ve just described is “learning and improving oneself” in flowery (spiritual) language
