How is that possible considering the first person to mix Gnosticism with Christianity was Justin Martyr who was born in 103 AD. The last book of the Bible, Revelation, was written in 95 AD, 8 years before Justin Martyr was even born.
Justin died wearing the robes of a pagan priest.
Let me rephrase that...
What was the prominant belief at that time became gnosticism.... all religions stem from paganism one way or the other *shrug*
either way its still just a label...
Secondly, Christianity by definition didn't originate in "paganism"

Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "country dweller", "rustic"[1]) is a blanket term, typically used to refer to polytheistic religious traditions.
