20058953	Borborites Borborites According to the Panarion" of Epiphanius of Salamis (ch. 26), and Theodoret's "Haereticarum Fabularum Compendium", the Borborites or Borborians (; in Egypt, Phibionites; in other countries, Koddians, Barbelites, Secundians, Socratites, Zacchaeans, Stratiotics) were a Christian Gnostic sect, said to be descended from the Nicolaitans. It is difficult to know for sure the practices of the group, as both Epiphanius and Theodoret were opponents of the group. According to Epiphanius, the sect were libertines who embraced the pleasures of the earthly world. The word "Borborite" comes from the Greek word , meaning "mud"; the name "Borborites" can therefore be translated as  filthy ones, and is unlikely to be the term the sect used for themselves. Teachings. Sacred texts. The Borborites possessed a number of sacred books, including "Noria" (the name they gave to Noah's wife), a "Gospel of Eve", "The Apocalypse of Adam", and "The Gospel of Perfection". They also used a version of "The Gospel of Philip", but a quotation from the Borborite "Gospel of Philip" found in Epiphanius' "Panarion" is not found anywhere in the surviving version from Nag Hammadi. Several of the Borborites' sacred scriptures revolved around the figure of Mary Magdalene, including "The Questions of Mary , The Greater Questions of Mary", "The Lesser Questions of Mary", and "The Birth of Mary". The Borborites also used a number of sacred texts attributed to Seth, the son of Adam and Eve, including the "Second Treatise of the Great Seth" and the "Three Steles of Seth". Although the Borborites did also use both the Old Testament and the New Testament, they renounced the God of the Old Testament as an impostor deity. Epiphanius of Salamis records that "The Greater Questions of Mary" contained an episode in which Jesus took Mary Magdalene up to the top of a mountain, where  he pulled a woman out of his side and engaged in sexual intercourse with her. Then, upon ejaculating, Jesus drank his own semen and told Mary, "Thus we must do, that we may live." Upon hearing this, Mary instantly fainted, to which Jesus responded by helping her up and telling her, "O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" Cosmology. They taught that there were eight heavens, each under a separate archon. In the seventh reigned Sabaoth, creator of heaven and earth, the God of the Jews, represented by some Borborites under the form of an ass or a  hog; hence the Jewish prohibition of swine's flesh. In the eighth heaven reigned Barbelo, the mother of the living; the Father of All, the supreme God; and Jesus Christ. They denied that Christ was born of Mary, or had a real body, defending instead docetism; and also denied the resurrection of the body. The human soul after death wanders through the seven heavens, until it obtains rest with Barbelo. Man possesses a soul in common with plants and beasts. Sexual sacramentalism. Epiphanius claims that the Borborites were inspired by Sethianism and that elements of sexual sacramentalism formed an important  role in their rituals. He asserts that the Borborites engaged in a version of the eucharist in which they would smear their hands with menstrual blood and semen and consume them as the blood and body of Christ respectively. He also alleges that, whenever one of the women in their church was experiencing her monthly period, they would take her menstrual blood and everyone in the church would eat it as part of a sacred ritual. The Borborites were also said to extract fetuses from pregnant women and consume them, particularly if the women accidentally became pregnant during related sexual  rituals. Historiography. Epiphanius wrote that he had some first-hand knowledge of the sect. According to him, two Gnostic women approached him and attempted to recruit him into the sect and seduce him. They also allowed him to read their scriptures, yet Epiphanius claims he was untempted and did not join. Instead, he reported the group to the bishops, resulting in the expulsion of around 80 people from the city of Alexandria. Because everything that is known about the Borborites comes exclusively from polemics written by their opponents, it is still disputed whether or not these reports accurately reflect Borborite  teachings or if they are merely propaganda intended to discredit them. Stephen Gero finds the accounts written by Epiphanius and later writers plausible and connects them with earlier Gnostic myths. Bart Ehrman, conversely, finds Epiphanius almost entirely unreliable. Ehrman writes that accusing opponents of wild sexual practices was common in Roman antiquity, so Epiphanus's lurid accounts should be seen as an outgrowth of that. He also finds Epiphanius's story of how he learned of their alleged doctrines implausible - if they truly were having scandalous rites, they would be unlikely to share them with non-members. More generally, documents  written by Egyptian Gnostics themselves such as those found in the Nag Hammadi library do not seem to match what the anti-heresy writers claimed. While both their opponents and the Gnostics agreed that Gnosticism scorned the material world of the flesh, Gnostic writing has generally indicated a trend toward asceticism as a result - of ignoring or punishing the flesh through exertion and fasting. Proto-Orthodox writers instead concluded that if the Gnostics believed the material world to be inferior to that of the spirit, they would - to demonstrate their disdain for it - have thrown themselves into debauchery, a claim  Ehrman finds unsupported by evidence and the opposite of what the actual Gnostics likely thought.
