 | | Tertullisn ascribes to him the apocryphal gospel of Valentinius, which, according to St. Irenaeus, was the same as the "Gospel of Truth." This Gospel was found at Nag Hammadi in Egypt. | | | Valentinius professed to have derived his views from Theodas or Theudas, a disciple of St. Paul, but his system is obviously an attempt to amalgamate Greek and Oriental speculations of the most fantastic kind with Christian ideas. | | | According to Valentinius, only the most spiritual human beings, the Gnostics themselves, are fully able to receive this revelation and thereby return after death to the spiritual realm. |

| | Gnosticism - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema |
| | Many Gnostics (especially the followers of Valentinius) taught that there was the One, the original, unknowable God (sometimes named Bythos, the Monad as it is called by Monoimus, or the first Aeon); and then from the One emanated other Aeons, pairs of lesser beings in sequence. | | | The Ophites (so-named because they worshipped the serpent of Genesis as the bestower of knowledge). | | | Knowledge (gnosis) enables the divine spark to return to the Source from whence it came. |

| | Valentinius' new mythology was mostly an adaptation of the existing one, lending both authority and appeal to his movement. | | | Logan begins with a lengthy review of differences between "church" and "sect," then moves on to visionary authority. | | | Using a convergence of Anthony Wallace's assertion that all religions stem from an individual's vision ("hallucinations") and Rodney Stark and William Bainbridge's "entrepreneur model" of religion formation as his parameters, Logan begins his investigation of three "cult founders" (32) -- Simon Magus, Valentinius, and Marcus the Magus. |

| | Nothing Says “I Love You” Like a Flayed Goat and Slave-Made Candy (8 Ways to Sunday) |
| | The enthusiasm that Valentinius expressed for the “bridal chamber” and its associated conjugal bliss would’ve ensured that the Church wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole. | | | Far from a “saint,” Valentinius was part of an obscure sect reviled by the mainstream church as heretics. | | | Ironically, considering his apparent ardor for amour, the sub-sect of Gnostics that took on his name believed all mater to be evil &; especially the human body. |

| | Well, it would seem that Valentinius was well known for being a gnostic Christian, that is, a Christian who believed in secret teachings that were passed down from teacher to teacher, straight from God's mouth to Paul's ears. | | | And since there was already a Roman pagan festival of fertility around the god Lupercus in mid-February, it seemed completely natural for the Christians to eventually transform this festival into something a bit more Jesus-centered (well, as Jesus-centered as the 33-year-old Virgin could endorse). | | | There was no actual St. Valentine in the Catholic faith, but rather it is thought that the festival of St. Valentine's was to commemorate an infamous early Christian named Valentinius. |
