I really am not trying to be difficult or just playing games but when broad sweeping statements are used to overturn historically established Christianity then I think the onus is on the one making the claims that attempt to overthrow it. You are clearly that one but your evidence is three hundred years late and strangely vague. For instance Polycarp was a direct disciple of the apostle John and he affirmed physical resurrection not spiritual reincarnation as the Hope of all Christians. You want to come along and place Gnosticism not just on an equal footing but actually above that which has been historically established. That requires a very strong case be made but I haven't seen it yet.

"Although the Coptic version is not quite identical to any of the Greek fragments, it is believed that the Coptic version was translated from a prior Greek version."

"not quite identical"?

I would be interested in what that means exactly. How close, and what prior Greek version? Is there any evidence beyond mere speculation of these "prior texts" Christian (so called) scholars, claim that Q existed but there is not a shred of actual evidence that it did besides their admittedly vivid imaginations. Theories are great but where is the evidence?
