Gnosticism comes from the Greek ord "GNOSIS" which means "knowledge." The followers claimed special knowledge apart from the Bible. Their heretical doctrines are found in the Greek manuscripts which came from Alexandria such as the Vatican and the Sinai which the Gnostics corrupted in at least 356 places.
