Under the philosophy or religion of Gnosticism can a good christian be saved (go to heaven) or have a good long term lifestyle? I could research this my self but i wanted people's opinions. This is assuming there is life after death ofcourse but that would fall in line with the first statement that was made in this post.

can a good christian be saved (go to heaven)

I don’t see why not, assuming it’s real. That also goes for good Hindus, good Buddhists, good Muslims, good Jews, good whatever. Christians get too hung up on John 3:16, a single verse in the Bible, in my opinion.

or have a good long term lifestyle?

Why shouldn’t they? Can’t a good Buddhist or Hindu have a good, long life? To suggest otherwise is prejudiced and ugly.

Thats good to hear. I was worried that the Gnostic god was angry with me.

Assuming we know how Hindu society's function right? Do they not have a caste structure in India today due to Hinduism? Buddhist Japan was the same way during the time before the early modern period (before 1850).

Reply to christian2017 Medieval Christian society wasn’t very Christ-like, nor is contemporary capitalist society. Individuals can be good, though, regardless of where and when they live.
