That’s fair. I apologize for getting hostile. Maybe it is a character flaw, but I get real activated when people try to position as above me over bullshit like sectarian beefs. As for the extent to which the Kingdom is hidden or it is revealed, I’m mixed. I do think that Gnostics have a point about a few key ideas. Most notably:

• Secret knowledge is real (importance of which we can debate later)
• Satan controls the world and plays a sort of demiurgic role
• Direct experience with the divine, not any church, is the source of salvation
• Ecumenism is of dubious authoritativeness

But people take these four points I take from Gnosticism and conclude from it that I accept at face value every acid trip Yaldabaoth Sophia cosmology and every diabolical scribbling about Mary Magdalene being Christ’s side piece
