John rebukes the false teachings. Paul did that too
Asking us to do your homework for you?
Fine, John starts out by saying John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
This directly contradicts the Gnostic teaching that the Creator God of the Old Testament is a lesser being called the Demiurge.
