: So if Jesus didn't die on the cross, does this mean that I am now responsible for the sin that I carry, and that God will not see me through Christ's supposed sacrifice????
Actually, according to Gnostic Christianity, you do not have to have a sacrifice for sin, per se. You must attain a higher understanding of the divine nature that is in you, embrace the spiritual world, which is pure, and eschew the physical world, which is evil. There is no resurrection of the body, and you don't want it, because the body is evil anyway. Your goal is to escape the body and be pure spirit forever.
This has been a transmission of the Gnostic Broadcasting System. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Christianity.
