@NEETzsche @Omega_Variant @PodunkPotato @Quentel @cowanon This doesn't say what you're trying to imply. It would be like saying the Muslim rejection of the Bible constitutes an inter-Christian debate.

Yeah, obviously the Gnostics disagreed with the Bible, but they were never a significant competing stream of thought in Christianity. Quite the opposite, they were a series of tiny cultish groups led by grifters like Simon Magus whose intention was explicitly to subvert the actual Christians.
