3 Synoptic Gospels
"Synoptic" means here that they can be
"seen" or "read together," indicating the
many parallels that exist among the three.
It is widely believed that the three synoptic
gospels derive from a common source or set
of sources, and that they directly or
indirectly borrowed from or were influenced
by each other.
The fourth gospel, the Gospel of John,
presents a very different picture of Jesus
and his ministry from the synoptics.

Galatians 6:14-16
But may it never be that I
would boast, except in the cross
of our Lord Jesus Christ, through
which the world has been crucified
to me, and I to the world. 15 For
neither is circumcision anything,
nor uncircumcision, but a new
creation. 16 And those who will
walk by this rule, peace and
mercy be upon them, and upon
the Israel of God.

The Rise of Gnosticism
From the Greek word gnosis (knowledge).
It would arise in the 2nd century, but its
seeds were already evident.
The physical is bad; the spirit is good.
Views of Jesus.
Docetism: Christ only seemed to be human.
Cerenthianism: The Divine Christ entered
Jesus at His baptism and departed prior to His
death.
