Ok, so you think Paul is a Gnostic and his works not part of the Canon. We therefore have a fundamental, insurmountable difference in beliefs.
I just find that a very self serving belief that belittles God to imply HE can't get published what HE wanted to get published. So much for Omnipotence, apparently it would mean you were a Gnostic God... or summ'n.

Those statements in bold pretty much rest my case of how Gnostic doctrine has been creeping into Christ's Church through history.
ANY association of any believer on Christ ever... becoming "as perfect as Christ" is... what Gnosticism is about.
Nor do I have to just stop with the ideas of 1st and 2nd century Gnosticism with that kind of reference, because their ideas originated from pagan ideas many centuries earlier! It all goes back to that old serpent's tempting in God's Garden, tempting with the idea that one can become their own God.
