The gnostic texts are "heretical" because they lost the political battle with the cunts who became the proto-orthodox. They were then rigorously persecuted by your so-called early xtians.
Or did you think the fucking 'holy spirit' did it?
Through my careful reading of the Pauline Epistles, I would go further to state that the Gnostics came first and only the "Orthodox" came along later. The Pauline epistles preach a form of Gnosticism and the editing of those letters and the writing of other letters were to refute some aspects of that Gnosticism.
Although Gnosticism still continued to develop after the ascendancy of "Orthodoxy" in the early church.
