Gnostic vs Agnostic•The difference between Gnostic and Agnostic is that a GNOSTIC person accepts the existence of a supreme ethereal power or God, while an AGNOSTIC person believes that the existence of God can neither be proved nor disproved. Gnostics were dualists and worshipped two (or more) gods; Christians were monists and worshipped one God. Gnostics focused on eradication of ignorance; Christian concern was the eradication of sin. Gnostics goal is to be released from unconsciousness and ignorance, or incomprehension. Humans who possess the divine spark can find their freedom only in learning of its source, how it came to be entrapped in the material world, and how it can escape to return to its original realm.
