“If, therefore, Jesus was physically considered as a son of man, and spiritually as the Christos, who overshadowed him, how then could the “GOD OF ALL”, the “Unknown Father”, be called by the Gnostics Homo, a MAN, and his Mind, Ennoia, the SECOND man, or Son of man? Neither in the Oriental Kabala, nor in Gnosticism, was the “God of all” ever anthropomorphized. It is but the first, or rather the second emanations, for Shekinah, Sephira, Depth, and other first-manifested female virtues are also emanations, that are termed “primitive men”.
Thus, Adam Kadmon, Ennoia, (or Sigè), the logoi in short, are the “only-begotten” ones but not the Sons of man, which appellation properly belongs to Christos the son of Sophia, (the elder), and of the primitive man who produces him through his own vivifying light, which emanates from the source or cause of all, hence the cause of his light also, the “Unknown Father”.
There is a great difference made in the Gnostic metaphysics between the first unrevealed Logos and the “anointed”, who is Christos. Ennoia may be termed, as Philo understands it, the Second God, but he alone is the “Primitive and First man”, and by no means the Second one, as Theodoret and Irenaeus have it. It is but the inveterate desire of the latter to connect Jesus in every possible way, even in the Heresies, with the Highest God, that led him into so many falsifications.
Such an identification with the Unknown God, even of Christos, the anointed – the Aeon who overshadowed him – let alone of the man Jesus, never entered the head of the Gnostics nor even of the direct apostles and of Paul, whatever later forgeries may have added. How daring and desperate were many such deliberate falsifications, was shown in the first attempts to compare the original manuscripts with later ones.”
