Have to read this link before my notes here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentinus_(Gnostic)
Accordingly he came up with the concept of Trinity? But what does it really mean? It is Satan's way of expressing his fixation on the mind of man? Trying to draw the concept out when it is really Satan's own abnormality which Satan needs to be distracted from?
3 classes of people?
1. Collectors from?
2. Spiritual
3. Material?
A father and son are really one? Isn't that like a monkey without comprehension watching a father and son working together and can't figure out how they both can be so much smarter than the monkey is?
So Satan attempts to divert the mind of man from materialism? It uses that as a justification to curse man?
And look at this reference to what has to be homosexuality in Judaism?
"Valentinius' Christology may have posited the existence of three redeeming beings, but Jesus while on
Earth had a supernatural body which, for instance, "did not experience corruption" by defecating, according to Clement"
It reminds me of a bunch of drunks sons talking about whether she spits out the fellatio substance or swallows except in veiled dogma reference to sodomy?
The lowest form of beings are materialistic? What does it really mean? It means the gypsies have established a church in the neighborhood and are psychologically compelling you to donate because you are bad, because you are attempting to procure a reserve of room and board for your family?
And Valentinius developed his system from Greek Philosophers as well as Paul? Said to have secret Knowledge from Paul? Isn't that why the Romans didn't kill Paul? Make money through religion by him? But what does it make all of this? It means the Greek Philosophers, the Romans, the Jews all had the ulterior motive of money? Why? How could there by secret knowledge in Religion? What would there ever be to hide? Except for how much money you are taking in and where it is going!!!!
Okay but what is the flipside? I like his views on the origin of the spirit. And also, most all of his work was destroyed. Which means it condemned Satan on earth?
Except for this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Truth
He had a wide following. Any time "they" destroy the work of someone it means that person was on to something good? It means it was a threat to wealth? The British destroying Irish Literature?
I need to research this more in order to form a better opinion.
He was Martyred on February 14th? Where is the story of that in the biography?

And with that comment about Jesus above, to be fair to Jesus. The Roman's captured him, stripped him naked in the courtyard, and dressed him up in women's clothes? I might make what could be considered a negative comment (hate speech?) about granting too many gay rights and allowing that genetic minority to be empowered over man?
