Gnosticism is a diverse set of ancient religious ideas and systems emphasizing personal spiritual knowledge or gnosis. Christianity, on the other hand, is a monotheistic religion centered around the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. While there may be some overlapping beliefs and themes, the two are distinct in their fundamental principles and practices.

Do you believe in the Gnostic Gospels?
A:I believe that the Gnostic gospels are no more or less true than the gospels that were accepted by the dominant brach of Christianity, becoming part of what we now know as the New Testament. The incompatibility between the Gnostic gospels and the form of Christian teaching in the 'Catholic-Orthodox' Church inevitably meant that the Gnostic gospels would be banned, along with the Gnostic Churches.

What are the basic laws for gnostic religion?
Most gnostic sects were Christian, although arguably there were some Judaic gnostic sects, including the early period of the Sethians. The early Gnostics do not appear to have called themselves 'Gnostics', considering themselves simply as Christians. In fact, there was quite a diversity of early gnostic Christian sects and it can be quite difficult to define the common threads that really identified a sect as 'gnostic' rather than what we would now consider 'orthodox'. Scholars generally agree that the defining characteristic of gnostic Christianity was that salvation was to be gained by knowledge, rather than by forgiveness of sins. Individual sects had their own specific ethical laws and their own interpretation of the scriptures, although adherents were encouraged to extend their personal knowledge.
