I didn't even realize there was a thing against Gnosticism until I encountered this particular forum.
Gnosis is always the most highly regarded in spiritual circles - except I guess for some modern Churches/traditions.

And do you notice the person who started the Thread on The Gospel of Thomas which obviously is Gnostic in a Christian Section and then admits that they think Gnostics are Anti- Christian  |

I agree, but some do have blind faith. |

Is Gnosticism the same as Christianity?
I do not think so.
Should the Gnostic creation accounts replace the Judaism creation accounts?
I do not think so.

where have you been?

I actually don't know much about it - the only thing I am aware of is Gnosis is the basis of genuine spiritual realization (possibly different to a formal 'Gnosticism' religion) |

You're right, sky123. I see what you mean, and agree with you.
I will also take a look at the Gospel of Thomas in more detail.
