> But that thought originates from the Judaic branch of Christianity, other denominations who didn't endorse the Old Testament like Manicheism doesn't suffer from the regressive thought that man shouldn't seek the truth.
Manichaeism is basically Zoroastrianism + Greco-Roman mysteries + Jesus on the other hand. It makes sense that it would have a more "gnostic" approach to seeking the truth, so to speak. Also, the two major Judaic sects at the time were the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Pharisees embedded elements into the oral law from Greek philosophy, while the Sadducees literally embedded their worldview on being more Greek both philosophically and culturally.
> This just point out two philosophical trends and not philosophy in general. Those which "according to Christ" are fine. And these can be gnostic easily.
It emphasises philosophy according to human traditions (which philosophy is) not to Christ (which would be the exact opposite, being the Godly understanding in this case)
