"When push came to shove, the early Church hierarchy felt threatened by these writings. So, they ignored, rejected, and labeled them heretical and dangerous and that was supposed to be the end of it. If Christians today want to grapple with these Gnostic thoughts moving forward, then they must confront layers of thought and beliefs that are very different than what we’ve been taught. Layers like Jesus being less as the savior for our sins and more as the developer of our souls; Heretical? I guess. Dangerous? Not really. I think the Gnostics loved Jesus, but just differently."
