Docetists (Ryan, Emily, Simron, Sequioa

The two major threads of Docetism are the a) Jesus was a phantom and that b) Jesus was only human and that Christ is the divine spirit that entered him. The Gospel of Peter was the main text used and it was anti-Jewish. It can be interpreted as docetic and also proto-orthodox. 1 John was written as a response to the community of people who left, who he referred to as the “antichrist” Docetism is a Christology and not a belief or practice or of Christianity.
