trannies are just an aggregate of mismatched gender parts. wholly divisible, wholly material. the androgyne is a spiritual union of the two principles.

To believe in god is to doubt his existance. It is a need to produce him, to bear subjective witness. Why, if he exists, does he need our witness? This amounts almost to thinking that god only exists by impulse of the spirit, which isn't too far removed from blasphemy.

They undermine the authority of Christianity, and show that religion is a collection of wildly varying folk tales which some jackass eventually culls to suit his own agenda.

Actually, never mind.

There is an idea that women are not really women, but mere opposites of men, in the Relativist sense. That the triangle of God, the Spirit/Sophia, and Man is Absolute between all parties but, because the Spirit/Sophia does not incarnate (virginity and such), the Woman is only Relatively connected to Man, practically is inverted Man.

Peak sophistry, believe is simply the internalisation of a property of reality to inform decision making. I “believe” in gravity so I don’t just jump out of my fifth storey window when I go to the shop. I believe in god and adjust my behaviour according to the same principle. Belief is not some kind of constant affirmation

No; in that instance, Jesus was speaking in a vulgar manner so that his "point"could be, at the very least, vaguely understood by most of the rest of his disciples who were enthopatriarchally prejudiced and/or ignorant of Mary Magdelene; Jesus meant that he would help Mary Magdelene bring herself closer to unity with her Animus, with all of the optimization in lifestyle that that entails, thus enabling her to become perfect in her true androgynous self; in the understanding of most of the disciples, Jesus meant that he would discipline Mary Magdalene against the vices that you listed - which she was actually void of - a developed characteristic which was/is commonly associated with patriarchal upringing.

Mary Magdelene was one of the few actual Christians amongst Jesus' disciples, the others being: John, Thomas, and Judas Iscariot.

Its impossible to tell 100% for certain even if the canonical Gospels are legitimate or not (regardless of what orthodoxytards try and make you believe)

In regards to the Gnostic Gospels, many of them, were likely written by the more initiated Gnostic "sages" under the pseudonyms of the Disciples of Jesus (Some of them may have actually recieved these teachings from the original John, Thomas, etc.).
Although they may not be directly from the disciples themselves, they still contain metaphysical truths.

Some of the "Gnostic" Gospels, especially The Gospel of Thomas which OP quoted, have actually been traced back by scholars to have been written before the Gospel of John, and, particularly the Gospel of Thomas, is very likely an Authentic collection of sayings of Jesus . Some Sethian texts such as "the Apocalypse of Adam", "Eugnostos the Blessed" and "the Sophia of Jesus Christ", some scholars have also dated them to have been written at the same time, or even before the canonical Gospels.
But there is always debate among scholars to the exact date/authenticity of them, nobody can know for sure.

At the end of the day, Gnosticism is the path to inner knowledge. If the Gospels resonate with you then you have the spark

(1) The disciples said to Jesus: “We know that you will depart from us. Who (then) will rule over us?”
(2) Jesus said to them: “No matter where you came from, you should go to James the Just, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being.”
Interesting how they state that the supreme leader of the Church is James, not Peter.
