Unlike Gentile Gnostics but in common with the Noahite Judeo-Baptists, they equated the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob with the Gnostic God the Father on High rather than with the Demiurge who they and the Judeo-Baptists equated with Satan.
They themselves rejected Messiah-Sonship and Uthra-sonship but believed instead only in angelicaeon-sonship seeing Rebbe Yehoshuah Minzaret (whom they called Ieso) as actually a threefold (4:171) Aeon (Rasul) called Mitra (Mitatrun) who only looked like a human but was not really a human being at all. They believed that the same Aeon (Mitatrun) had visited the planet many times before such as for example as [[Abraham's Visitors]]. This Aeon (Mitatrun) whom they called Ahmed (Mahamadim) or the Bridegroom united ''within'' itself, Mahmad the Suffering Temple Word alongside Ieso the Guiding Spiritual Light. Ieso gave up Ahmed to his Talmidim as the Shirayim of Seudah shlishit Hitveadut for Melaveh Malka (Al-Maeda). So Ahmed (Rasulallah) was not crucified while Ieso and his shadow (as per John of Damascus) or appearance (as per 4:157) i.e. Mahmad (as per 3:144) were crucified instead.
