The spiritual 2nd century Christian belief thst the world was created and ruled by a lesser divinity, which was partly the Pre Christian origin. The doctrine suggests the world was ruled by the demiurge and that Christ was an emissary of the supreme divine being.
Gnostics believe that human beings actually contain a piece of God and his divine spark! The spark of God has materialized from the immaterial world and went into the bodies of humans!
Gnosticism actually came before Christianity and is for spiritual beings, not for Christians.
