It was based on a few things. Gnostics of that time claimed that Christ as the Son of God, did not literally come in the flesh, that he was an apparation perhaps etc, that he did not literally die on the cross, and of course therefore there was also no real resurrection from the dead, as he never died. Essentially, by their beliefs, they completely gut the true gospel message. They aslo denied absolute truth, right and wrong etc. As in there is no real final punishment of hell when you die and in fact the world around us is just a mirage. It goes on and on, many such concepts are more in tune with many modern day new age concepts and concepts derived in Hinduism and such.

What are the key differences between non-Pauline Christianity and mainstream Christian beliefs?
Non-Pauline Christianity refers to early Christian beliefs and practices that developed independently of the teachings of the apostle Paul. Key differences include varying views on the role of the law, the nature of salvation, and the authority of Paul's writings. Mainstream Christian beliefs, on the other hand, are based on the teachings of Paul and emphasize concepts such as justification by faith and the grace of God.
What was the culture of John the gospel writer?
Scholars say that John's Gospel was written within a closed community now known as the 'Johannine community' from the tradition that the Gospel was written by the apostle John. The location of this community is unknown, but some scholars believe that it was a mildly Gnostic community. They say that after the community split, which can be identified in the Epistles of John, part of the community joined a more centrist branch of Christianity and modified John's Gospel to remove much of the Gnostic content. The other part of the community probably joined a more Gnostic branch of Christianity, but its version of the Gospel has been lost to us. The members of the Johannine community were probably relatively well-to-do, based on John's emphasis on the rich and poweful friends of Jesus.
