All these ideas were not unique to each Group, but they give an idea of the thought of these Gnostics. They were not “Christians” at all, but followed their own ideas about a “Christ” that has no historical or biblical foundation. Imagine if I called myself a Muslim and followed God in . And whether they themselves, I mean the authors of the book, bare responsible (see their madness, for by their licence they do grievous wrong to God) or whether they derived their ideas from some others whom they fell in with, they have taken a sound doctrine and perversely misapplied it.
Their ideas seem to have been shared by others, even after the Church started to suppress them. in its Latin form, in The Oxford Book of Latin verse, edited by H. W.

Jesus was the son of Joseph and Mary, and was born like all other men; he differed from the rest in that his soul, being strong and pure, remembered what it saw in its orbit round (or conversation with) the ineffable Father.
Jesus was for him a religious genius. Hating the Jews, Carpocrates had his Jesus hating them also and rising above their "superstitions." The Carpocratians had statues of Jesus, Pythagorus, Plato, Aristotle, and others in their shrines.
Every human soul could rise to the level of Jesus. Answer. The Carpocratians were a sect founded by Carpocrates, who lived and worked in Alexandria around CE. His followers continued writing on his behalf for decades. None of their original works exist, so this is another group known to us only through the writings of its opponents.

Carpocrates had indeed recalled his origin and was like unto Jesus, their words of love and salvation are parallel rays from the Unknowable Being to our world.
In the Secret Gospel it is as though Carpocrates was the boy, raised from the dead by the Savior. Their teachings are said to be the inspiration for the first Woodstock and the musical Hair. The Borborites Spread across much of the Middle East, they were considered the filthiest and horniest Bible thumpers around.
The Borborites took their marching orders from an apocryphal text called The Great Question of Mary. In this scripture, Jesus takes Mary Magdalene to the top of the Mount of.
(The followers of Carpocrates) allege that the souls are transferred from body to body, so far as that they may fill up (the measure of) all their sins. When, however, not one (of these sins) is left, (the Carpocratians affirm that the soul) is then emancipated, and departs unto that God above of the world-making angels, and that in this way.
The parables of Jesus make up a crucial part of the Bible. Jesus had the wisdom to simplify the profound spiritual truths he needed to share with humanity in the form of relatable stories that are easy to understand. A parable is a tale about a simple, common subject to illustrate a deeper, valuable moral lesson.
The Secret Gospel of Mark or the Mystic Gospel of Mark (Greek: τοῦ Μάρκου τὸ μυστικὸν εὐαγγέλιον, tou Markou to mystikon euangelion), also the Longer Gospel of Mark, is a putative longer and secret or mystic version of the Gospel of gospel is mentioned exclusively in the Mar Saba letter, a document of disputed authenticity, which is said to be written.

They also hold that Jesus was the son of Joseph, and was just like other men, with the exception that he differed from them in this respect, that inasmuch as his soul was stedfast and pure, he perfectly remembered those things which.

Irenaeus, (c. –) in his Against Heresies (;6) says scornfully of the Gnostic Carpocratians, "They also possess images, some of them painted, and others formed from different kinds of material; while they maintain that a likeness of Christ was made by Pilate at that time when Jesus lived among them.
