Gnosticism/Christianity thread

[Anonymous No.22820673]

I got the Nag Hammadi Scriptures in English as well as Nag Hammadi Deutsch 3. Edition (German) at home, but I had incredible trouble of understanding it, so I got the Bible (Schlachter Bibel) as well.
Am I safe to assume, I "only" need to read the New Testament to understand the Nag Hammadi scriptures or do I need to read the Old Testament as well?
So far I read Matthew and Mark. Mark was just a shittier version of Matthew in every regard and it looks like Luke and John are also the same story as Matthew. Should I read them regardless? How is the Bible on skipping stuff, is it acceptable or should I read it in order? I figure I need to at the very least read the New Testament in full before tackling Gnosticism cause it's so fucking cryptic.
Honestly, the gnostic worldview just makes the most sense to me, by far, like no contest, those niggas must be right.
Fuck, that's a lot of reading though
Sorry for the rambling, I downed half a bottle of vodka before 4PM.

Yeah I probably will get ventilated by special forces in this life, but maybe I can set the railroad for my next one.
