From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. "The important Gnostic text, the Pistis Sophia, in five books, which scholars date c. 250–300 AD, relates the Gnostic teachings of the transfigured Jesus to the apostles assembled..." LOL! Gnosticism was not Christian, and it was not early. Paul was just one of the "literalists" and he wrote first Corinthians TWO HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE "Pistis Sophia". The other "literalists" were Mathew, Mark, Luke, John and Peter. As Peter the "literalist" said; 15Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 16For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. (2Peter 1:15,16) "There is no question that reincarnation was a belief of early Christians" I just showed that you are wrong on the facts. "and that resurrection was originally construed by Christians to be a spiritual rather than a physical event." You are wrong on the facts about this as well. You are confusing Second and Third Century Gnosticism with First Century Christianity. That's just sloppy.
