Gnostic thought that the spirit has been captured by the body and that it is imprisoned in the prison of the flesh which makes the spirit suffer because it has fallen yet remains hopefull that it has one last chance of escape which is to rise to join the father which means the soul is therefore the cause of its fall and also the hope for resurrection and if the soul didnt exist nor had it been tempted by matter then the spirit which is its source would never have fallen but then again if the soul did not exist matter wouldn't have been able to be tempted by the spirit to transmute itself

Who believed Jesus Christ did not have a human body?
A:Certain of the early Gnostic Christians did not believe that Jesus was truly human. Other Gnostics believed that, while Jesus did have a human body, he did not suffer at the crucifixion - a theme that comes through a little in John's Gospel, which originally belonged in a mildly gnostic community. Docetists saw the crucifixion as an illusion rather than a reality, a belief that would later be adopted in the Quran (04:157): "They did not kill him and they did not crucify him, but it was made to seem so to them."Marcion, although probably not really a Gnostic, believed that Jesus' body was a mere phantasm, a physical illusion or an ephemeral appearance.
