agnosis, therefore, is nearly synonymous with "The Fall", and the only bridge which represents the possibility for reunification is the Christ principle.
This is also, I think, why the "Gnostic" heretics thought that their version of gnosis was the antidote to agnosis, rather than Christ, as you rightly say. Of course, true Gnosis is a knowledge and love of Christ, but this is something that comes to us from Christ, since He in His mercy came to us, rather than something we acquire on our own.

This is also, I think, why the "Gnostic" heretics thought that their version of gnosis was the antidote to agnosis, rather than Christ, as you rightly say. Of course, true Gnosis *is* a knowledge and love of Christ, but this is something that comes to us *from* Christ, since He in His mercy came to us, rather than something we acquire on our own.
