** [[Useful Notes/Gnosticism|Gnostic]] interpretation of Jesus' teachings were declared heretical (in fact, the very ''word'' "heresy" was popularized in the Christian world by Christian theologian Irenaeus and his anti-Gnostic tracts), and Gnosticism in general also counts for:
*** Its antipathy for the material universe, which contradicts God's satisfaction with his work as explicit in the first Creation story of Genesis.
*** Instead of human beings being ontologically good creatures in and of themselves, they are spiritual creatures trapped in material form by the Demiurge.
*** Said antipathy for matter likewise denies the Incarnation, which denies Jesus the status of being both True God and True Man.
*** We earlier mentioned the Demiurge trapping human beings in physical form (possibly with well-meaning but ill-fated help from his "mother", Sophia); the Demiurge is also claimed to be the true nature of the monotheistic deity worshiped by Jews, Christians, and Muslims, who falsely claims [[God|lordship over all existence]] and [[God Is Evil|manipulates humanity into violence and misery]] [[For the Evulz|for shits and giggles]]. [[I'm a Humanitarian|And food]].
