Alexandria, where this text-type came from, was the heart and soul of Gnosticism, which is found throughout this Alexandrian text. Your admission is quite telling Your clock is not working. By the 4th century, the issue of Gnosticism and any threat to the Church of Alexandria (St. Athanasius) is rather a moot point. At least try to keep the comments in context.

Embrace your heritage -- don't run from it.
