Brain in a Knot

Trying to disentagle myself from the aenoic confusion of the Valentians. Some key points:

(i) Note how they divide humanity into three groups: spiritual, material and animal, only the first group will be saved, to marry the angels in heaven.
(ii) Their christology is adoptionist and they deny that the heavenly saviour shared in the sufferings of the human Christ.
(iii) Their hermeneutics involves bringing in ideas from outside of scripture, chopping scripture about and re-interpreting it in an esoteric manner. Once again, this reminds me of the methodology of many fundamentalist groups on the fringe of conservative evangelicalism.
