The Nag Hammadi library is not the DSS. The former was found in Egypt in 1945 and the latter near the Dead Sea in 1946. They don’t have any content in common with each other.
Once again, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Even if the DSS contained texts written by gnostics, that is not necessarily an endorsement of those texts or a testimony of their accuracy. The DSS was simply a library of texts that the Essenes had. Most of the texts are just copies of portions of the OT (which match the later Masoretic texts) and small portions of their own writings. That they were stored together does not mean the Essenes weighted them all with the same religious authority, much like how some Christians today read the Apocrypha or biblical commentaries despite not holding to them as inspired scripture.
So even if Gnostic texts were found with the DSS, it still doesn’t prove your point, as it still would not imply that said texts were viewed on the same level scripture, the texts still date before Christianity, and all of this still does not explain the obvious contradictions between Gnosticism and the plain teachings of Scripture.
