Why apologists keep bringing up Gnosticism. And why it doesn't work.

I explored how gnosticism became the catch-all boogey man for evangelicals, lies about "liberal" scholars, and why we should still study gnosticism. Note that I actually agree with most of what the four in the original video say about "gnosticism"... But they misrepresent liberal scholars' obsession with it. This is the original video, so you can check I've represented the arguments fairly.
