Gnosticisim

A detailed Summary of Gnosticisim

I believe New Testament writers considered Gnosticisim (knowledge) a dangerous trap for believers because, during that time and era many of the Christians or those who wanted to become Christians knew not whom to follow. As in the scripture (1 Jn 4: 1) "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world". This scripture I believe is emblematical to what the prophets or writers considered a dangerous trap. The lack of knowledge of how to interpret what was being asked or told of them to do, so they may have been able to distinguish the difference between myth or truth.
