Personally, I think Christianity, including the local church, could use the numinous female energy like Sophia found in Proverbs. Women are better than men because they think with their brains.

Sophian gnosticism is just another sign of degradation. I knew that Christianity was pagan thanks to Viola and Barna but gnostic too it seems.
