Christian Heresies: Docetism

Docetism was a Gnostic Christian heresy which flourished ca 70 AD/CE.  The name of the heresy comes from the Greek word δοκέω, which means "I seem."  The doctrine taught that Jesus was wholly God and not Human at all.  His humanity, physical body, and crucifixion were all illusions because God can not suffer.
