Gnostics don't see Jesus Christ as the almighty Creator in the flesh

Why would they? when Jesus's mission was of spiritual liberation, not creating a new religion. Jesus and Christ are not the same thing. Jesus was the man. Christ is the consciousness he achieved. Jesus became the Christ, but Christ consciousness existed before Jesus and remains available after Jesus. This isn't diminishing Jesus. It's understanding his true accomplishment. And Gnostics knew that.

The Church is telling you, don't listen to what actually Jesus teaches. Believe us, Jesus is God the "Creator in the flesh". And many people fall for it. What does this even mean? first thing, the Church made Jesus part of what they call the Trinity. Why? because the Jews believe Yahweh created this material world we live in. So, Jesus had to become God (Yahweh), although Jesus never said he was God. Trinity means God exists as three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But these three are somehow also one God. Now this already is very confusing, because if Jesus is the Son of God, then how is he also God? And if he's both Son and Father, then what does that even mean? This is the kind of logical paradox that has caused theological debates for 2,000 years, and we still don't have a clear answer. So, remember before the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, the first ecumenical council of the Christian Church, societies were paganistic or polytheistic. Then with emperor Constantine God became the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity is the weirdest idea in human history. The Holy Trinity is this God is nothing and everything. And what this means is God is both real and not real. God is a symbol and reality itself. And because of this idea, people are now forced to think abstractly about the world. And it gives rise to money, nation state and science. Serves perfectly the imperial interests and now the Church is an important part of the Empire. People are now forced to think abstractly about the world. Whereas people before could think very concretely about the world.

they follow false doctrines of demons according to the Holy Scriptures

After Jesus's death there were many groups and movements who considered themselves Christians, Gnostics being one of them. Not many people know that the first Christian state was not Catholic Rome, but a Gnostic one, Osroene, with its capital at Edessa in modern Turkey near the Syrian border. The Gnostic teacher, Bardesanes (or Bardaisan), converted King Abgar IX, who ruled 177-212. Bardesanes was credited by church fathers with inventing the Christian hymn and wrote 150 songs that were popular for generations. The most famous is the “Hymn of the Pearl,” a beautiful allegory of the soul being lost in the world and returning to God, found in The Acts of Thomas, an early 3rd century text. However, Roman empire made sure to use propaganda against Gnostics as heretics, which led Gnostics to be persecuted, killed and others to ran away. A small number of Gnostics survived such relentless persecutions. Once the Catholic faction received the official support of the Roman Emperor Constantine in 325, persecution of heretics intensified and the Gnostics went underground and faded away.
