Second Treatise of the Great Seth Resurfaces in Theology Talks

Original: Second Treatise of the Great Seth They thought that I suffered, but I did not suffer. 📜 # religion # theology

Discussion of the Second Treatise of the Great Seth, a Gnostic text found in the Nag Hammadi library, is drawing attention with its striking line: 'They thought that I suffered, but I did not suffer.' The text presents a docetic view of the crucifixion, claiming Jesus did not physically suffer, contrasting with orthodox Christian teaching on the Passion.

Why now: The provocative Gnostic claim that Jesus did not actually suffer on the cross challenges mainstream Christian beliefs, sparking interest in early Christian diversity.
