um, you call that christianity? you call yourself a christian? you know how the word christian started? it stands for christos, the mesiah, in greek. jesus was called that and his followers, christians. being christian means you follow jesus and his teachings. do you?

Christian's follow Christ. Therefore Gnostic Christian's follow Christ. Let me expand on what was previously said:

Gnostic Christianity: When we learn Jesus' nonjudgmental logic, we elevate our reasoning mind to the same level as our spiritual thoughts. This harmonizes our reasoning with our spirit. This is the key to higher consciousness and "doing on earth as it is in heaven", just as Jesus said we could.

The first line of the Gospel according to St John: En arche en o Logos, kai o Logos en pros ton Theon, kai Theos en o Logos.

translated usually comes out as "in the beggining was the word...." but this is not the true definition of the word logos. It should read:

"In the beginning was the logic, and the logic was with God, and God was the logic."

Jesus was unique among social revolutionaries. He did not blame existing religious, economic or political institutions for human suffering. The revolution he saw was a far deeper one, without which other reforms could only be superficial and transitory. If he could convince the world that judgmental reasoning was not the only method of reasoning and that nonjudgmental reasoning is the common ground of higher consciousness, Utopia would come of itself. All the ill effects of judgmental reasoning-and the consequent need for law-would disappear. Compared to the revolution in consciousness that nonjudgmental reasoning makes possible, all others are little more than examples of one system replacing another and exploiting in turn. If we learn this lesson, our future will no longer repeat the past.

Oh yes, they are followers of Christ. In fact, they follow the teachings of Christ more than other Christians which muddy the waters with Judaistic teachings and other such things. Gnostics only go by the teachings of Jesus.
