On the Gnostic Teaching of Colarbasians [GNOSTICISM HISTORY]

Gnosticism consisted of several different schools of thought, which were prevalent among pre-Nicene Christianity. The Work Against Heresies in this AUDIOBOOK format from Irenaeus, bishop of Lyon, demonstrates that earliest Christianity was a fascinating and diverse plethora of beliefs, debates, and schisms. This video explains closely the gnostic beliefs of the Gnostic sects of Colarbasians: a sect of the 2nd century, deemed heretics by mainstream Christianity, so called from their leader Colarbasus, a disciple of Valentinius. Besides other things, Colarbasus, along with Marcus, another disciple of Valentinius, was said to maintain the whole plenitude, and perfection of truth and religion, to be contained in the Greek alphabet; and that it was for this reason that Jesus was called the Alpha and Omega. ====================================== 📌Subscribe to the channel 📌Put 👍 and 🔔 ====================================== #Marcion #gnosticism #earlychurch #audiobook #hermeticism
