4. The laws of opposites have been understood by Christians and Jews alike

for a long time not just Gnostics. God created the laws of opposites to begin with. Isaiah 45 verse 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Deuteronomy 30 verse 15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good,and death and evil;


Pre-Christianity there was an early form of Gnosticism. Which taught dualism that there was a God that caused all the good and another God that caused all the evil. Which is why God affirmed he alone does it all in the book of Isaiah.
