The man in the video is saying that those with Gnostic inclinations should join the "orthodox church" -- that modern Christianity is basically Gnostic in its inclinations.
Edit: No, wait a sec, I have misunderstood what this man is saying due to the obscure way he is speaking. I think he may be condemning Gnostic views, having listened to more of his video. It's hard to tell. He is extremely vague and obtuse.
In my opinion, we need Gnostic concepts to penetrate into conventional churchs, because they can provide a philosophical basis for Christianity that intelligent white people would find persuasive and compelling. The only rational Christianity is Gnostic.
But ... how many people are intelligent? The reason Gnosticism failed, and conventional Christianity prevailed, was the simplicity and inclusiveness of conventional Christianity, which did not demand that you use your mind for anything other than a hatrack. Gnosticism requires you to think. That may be too much for the average white person these days.
I'm talking about white people, because Gnostic concepts are way, way beyond the ability of blacks to handle. Honestly, they are beyond most white people also. That's why Gnosticism was understood in ancient times to be elite and exclusive. It didn't actually exclude anyone, but its concepts excluded the stupid. And if you look around our modern society, you will notice that we have a whole lot of stupid.
