ELI5: what is Gnosticism?
gpt
Gnosticism says that we are spiritual beings trapped in a material world. Gnostics believe that we need special knowledge (“gnosis” in Greek) in order to escape this material world.

Many Gnostics believed that Jesus was sent to earth to bring this special knowledge, but most early Christians didn’t think Gnostics were true Christians.
