What was the proto-orthodox position on the humanity or divinity of Jesus? The esotericism of Jesus’ teachings? Proto-orthodox Christians agreed with the Marcionites on the fact that Jesus was divine. But on the other hand, they also agreed with Gnostics on the fact that Jesus was human. In short, they believed that Jesus was both divine and human simultaneously. The Proto-orthodox Christians disagreed with the Gnostics when they said that Jesus true teachings were a secret that only a select few could access. They believed that Jesus taught all his disciples the truth and then they wrote it down so that it may be passed on to the rest of his people.
