@toiletpaper @amerika @une @7666 @arcana @sun Scholars love to say this but ignore that almost all surviving Gnostic texts were found in a single codex, alongside the discourses of Hermes and Plato's Republic, implying a unity between all of them.
Christian scholars love to exaggerate the multiplicity in early Christianity. There are multiple Gnostic Christianities in the same way there are multiple schools of Catholicism. There are internal debates ofc but at the end of the day they're all identifiable as one thing.
