I think the main thrust of the thread is Gnosticism.

I've never really understood Gnosticism, maybe because I've never devoted much thought to it. The videos did assist in gaining some further understanding of it, enough to realize, at least, why it has been so thoroughly rejected - if the videos are any indicator, Gnosticism offers no hope for humanity, which is likely why it failed as a religion

I.e. if a religion offers no hope, then why bother with it? Might as well go fishing instead.

.

There are opinions that Gnosticism was one of the early Christian sects , part of Christianity . 

The early times , 2 first centurys of Christianity was different than what is now....there was not yet even so called orthodox and    heretical  definitions . Those were defined litle later  by people. What if the people made mistakes and simply wanted to bark rival sects , or by following rulers wish in that time .

There where many 'sects' at some point 300AD it got to be to much and stories where selected and the rest declared as heresy.
