LOL, the only people who doubt that the KoT is a Paulician document are Catholics who need to believe that so that they can try to deny it as evidence.
And the only people who see “dualism” in the KoT are people who have never actually read it.

Okay, I looked at the "Key of Truth". By the time you get to page 41 in the introduction, it's crystal clear that the Paulicians, at least by the time this was written (it's evidently based on documents from the 1830's), completely denied the divinity of Christ. Christ was just a created man who was elected Messiah by God and installed by God as lord of everything else. (That's according to Conybeare, who is as venomous an anti-Catholic as you're likely to find, so no use pretending it's just the dastardly Pope slandering those simple Christian believers.)
That means they flunk one of the essential characteristics of Christianity.
It's a cult. Walter Martin would call it a cult. Hank Hannegraff would call it a cult. Billy Graham would call it a cult. Martin Luther would call it a cult.

I have read it — I even posted a link where you can read it online. This document, the Key of Truth shows clearly that they thought of Christ as just a man, not God. I apologize if that is what you believe, but that is not a Christian belief
