At the time John was leading the churches in Asia, Gnosticism had two main groups:
1. Docetics taught that Jesus's physical body was not real but only seemed to be physical - known as asceticism from a Greek word that means "to appear."
2. Cerenthians taught that Christ's Spirit descended upon the human Jesus at his baptism but left him just before the crucifixion.
The main teaching about Jesus from this movement denied the Lord's humanity in order to support the Lord's sinless nature.
So, they've got a little mixture there of truth and error. They said the Lord was sinless, but they also held that all physical things were evil, therefore He could not have had a physical body because then He would not be sinless. That's what they believed.
And so, in order to support that, they denied His humanity. But of course, John has gone out of his way to prove both the Lord's deity, that would be the gospel of John, and His humanity, which would be 1 John.
