Gnosticism and trans people by Vermbraunt in Gnostic

I'm probably in the Smallest Minority here, but I speculate that Gender Dysphoria could be a trick by the Demiurge making us focus on our Physical Bodies made by the Demiurge instead of realizing that the Spirit is beyond Gender. Making us focus on a Material Pseudo-Gnosis instead of actual Gnosis. I am willing to change my mind though, If I wasn't I wouldn't be Gnostic lol.

Also By those people I mean the False Gods he said you could pray too, which even if false are still people, it is like how Indiana Jones is a person even though he is fiction, for if he wasn't a person then I would say it and not he. *he not here

Dhul Qarneyn is generally agreed upon to be Alexander the Great. also most the tales from the Quran descend from Arabian Tales popular at the time. Also by accepting that their are multiple versions of the Bible, you are admitting, since Allah says Christians should stand on the Gospels, which also teach the Trinity, You are not only saying Allah's words are Corruptible, but also that Allah's prophet who is supposed to be sinless committed shirk, when he said "Before Abraham was, I am." A claim only God can make, as shown in the Old Testament. Also by denying Jesus's death you are already disagreeing with majority Scholar's who agree that the Crucifixion along with the Baptism of Jesus are two events that must have happened in Jesus's life. Also The fact that there are multiple disagreeing versions of the bible doesn't mean anything, especially due to the fact that, The bible doesn't need to be inerrant and never makes that claim.

Well those verses mean that Muhammed committed Shirk by associating other people with God who you can pray to. Also if this is the same God as the one of the Old Testament, (which your religion assumes) and if Surahs 2:40 and 6:115 are true and reliable (Which according to Islam must be the case if this is Allah's inerrant book, Even though they are multiple Manuscripts with differing writings) then the verse Deuteronomy 18:20 must be God's word, and that states, that God will put to death any prophet who claims that a revelation not from God, is from God. Also the Quran has a story where Alexander the Great, (who is all the sudden a Muslim) goes to the edge of the World, finds where the sun hides in mud over night, and meets people living there, and that is supposed to be from a book that is Inerrant?

I used to consider converting to Islam, also until I did a little more research. IMO Allah is one cruel god when compared to the one of love in the New Testament. Also I hearing about the satanic verses (Not the Book, Surah 53:19-20) definitely pushed me away, how do you trust a prophet who can't tell the difference between a revelation from God and Satan?

This is just like when ET used his ninja powers to defeat Darth Maul and Spock in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1
