When friends disagree about rejecting versus integrating orthodox and Gnostic Christianity

My closest friend and I discovered Gnostic Christianity around the same time and it felt like this amazing shared journey, but lately she's become convinced that orthodox Christianity is fundamentally corrupted while I still see value in both traditions. She's started making comments about my 'compromise' that hurt, and I don't know how to stay close to her while honoring my own spiritual complexity.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A friendship built on shared spiritual discovery faces strain when one person's path toward Gnostic truth requires rejecting what the other still holds sacred.
