The Book of Genesis, but its Gnostic...

  • I've been doing a lot of research into Gnosticism recently for a larger project that I've been working on. But since I haven't been uploading a lot recently I figured I could do some shorter videos in the mean time. And what better way to explain Gnosticism than to tell its entire commentary on the bible with zero context. I was inspired by those videos where people explain various things in a simple style and I thought, "well I could do that."
    So to explain the context a little bit, there are a lot of different groups that were running around in the 2nd century that were called "gnostic." However today most scholars general only consider a few of those groups to actually be "gnostic" because of their commentaries on the Old Testament which developed to an elaborate mythology which people call "gnostic."
    So in short this video is my attempt to harmonize the various "gnostic" stories into one cohesive narrative. This video uses the book of Genesis, the book of Enoch, the Hypostasis of the Archons, and the Apocryphon of John as its inspirations.

      Heresy is such a funny term that doesn't even mean anything beyond a vague label that's attached onto whoever disagrees with the Church. The majority of protestants today have been considered heretics a few centuries ago, yet they're accepted today. All of the dozens of denominations that exist around the world? Heretics as well.

      The God Yaweh were an idiot through most of the bible and had to restart the earth multiple times. The Gnostics atleast noticed the inconsistencies, and tried to explain them. Other Abrahamic religions go into detail of how God and Demons work, were Christianity fail to explain the origin of Angels and the difference between Satan and Lucifer. Most of peoples shared interpretation comes from dantes inferno.

      For other cultures, your gods were always demons and vice versa. Today we use the term "demon" which is also the root for divine in other cultures and even our words. The problem with moralism is that it is just the same problem moved up: Morality as a god over gods, somehow morality have to be over gods, and that makes no theological or philosophical sense, as Gods proscribe morality. We criticize YHWH on moral grounds, and yet we also want to be moral relativists... sorry, but we cannot have both.

    Honestly that sounds just sad
    Deity girl tried to have a child of her own because thats what all deities were supposed to and because she was lonely as she didnt have a partner
    Then the child naturally comes out weird because it was created differently from others, so it is thrown away
    The child, lonely but exceptionally powerful creates a whole universe of their own and thinking it is the only thing in existence believes itself to be the only deity out there
    Of course, being a child with no moral guidance and not understanding how to treat others because it had no one, because it was literally thrown away, things go south with their creation very quickly
    Then the child's mother regretting what she did either due to true guilt or because it turns out her child is too powerful, tries to go there to talk
    The child, alone in their entire existence, doesnt want to let the mother go and traps her
    Naturally, the other gods try to intervene, but that only upsets the child further thinking they want to steal the mother away, so it lashes out and attacks them
    Surprisingly, the child wins because it is just that powerful, like the Broly of the gods, no wonder it thinks of itself as the true god
    This results in the child, being a greedy kid, taking away some of the divinity of the deities who tried to strike it down and using it for their own creation
    Of course the gods wouldnt let that slide and want to end the child's reign of terror over their own universe, so they send in a "saviour"
    This saviour brings magical knowledge that allows the beings trapped within the child's universe to flee it, hoping to free the mother that way
    These beings do so, because they see the child god as nothing more than a sadistic tyrant and rightfully so
    But to the child all that is happening is that the other deities attacked it again, not only wanting to steal the mother but also it's toys/pets that they made, which only make the child more heartbroken and furious
    And having never been taught how to deal with these feelings, it continues to lash out against it's creation and the other gods while having their mentality that they're the only god that matters reinforced by the other deities's actions, their cruelty towards it and use of subterfuge to steal what is theirs instead of fighting them like they attempted last time
    Thus the child's cruelty and desperation increases, even though all it ever wanted was to be accepted and loved like any child without their parent
    Its a tragedy

      Not entirely, it is still christian in it's core, so the gnostics think that God who created the world is evil, but there is a good god out there (outside of the corrupted universe we exist in) who wants to save us and he send Jesus to make that happen. It's was the fact that they wanted to seperate tha all good christian god from the clearly not good jewish/old testament god that makes them heretics.

      regarding the three answers:
      if he has a plan for everything, knows past present and future, free will does not exist (just the illusion), or he only knows all the possibilities, and is manipulating everything so it happens as he wants, he knows what "each and everything is going to lead to" and allows it to happen makes so it happen.
      YHWH created the natural order, he created the nature of things, he created the nature of human beings, he created the rules. so sin exists because god made them exist, anyone could argument that "hell is the separation from god", and god if existent, was the one that created both of these concepts, as there is no higher nature, he does not have "rules to follow" or "a boss". so he created sin, he created the concept of separation from himself(it is not something that pre-exists him). the same applies to "the devil" god allowed him to exist, god allowed him to corrupt people, god created hell, god created suffering in one way or another because he created everything.
      so either he is apathetic, and sometimes intervenes because its fun(like a game/simulation developer) or he is indeed all seeing/all powerful all the time, and is just plain humanly evil, in the sense that the logic he created also reveals himself as evil (since he created math and the rules of the universe).

      ⁠@@MigWithThe second argument is pretty bad, because God follows his own rules, the one that created the rules, followed them when he incarnated as Jesus, the world hell is a mistranslation of multiple words, Hades, Gehenna, Tartarus, Sheol, and for the most part it hell refers to grave, which is the opposite of life and the dead are located, while the other times it refers to fire or in the cause of Tartarus, where the fallen angels are imprisoned, which Tartarus is a word only used one time.
      Separation of life is dead, basically if life exists is the opposite is death. That is why the concept of separation from life, being God in this case cause he is the author of life, will lead to death.
      Basically if something exists, then the opposite is posible, it depends which one comes first. If goodness exists, then evil will come to exist, because it is the opposite, the same with energy, heat, life, love, etc.
      This will depend on which come first and can exist by itself, although people go to far and create the extreme opposite of one thing, the concept of all consuming fire does exist in the Bible, but the concept of hell as we know it culturally, which was conflated with the lake of fire from revelation, doesn’t exist within the text, unless you include the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, but since it’s a story to teach a lesson, it should be taken as a literal place.

Many other “Gnostics” however believed that any individual can achieve self-enlightenment.

The story of Jacob and Esau makes way more sense when you realize Yahweh respects chutzpah, boldness and sneakiness above all else. And yeah, he protects Cain rather than punishing him, so it would make sense that he actually gets a kick out of watching people kill each other, especially considering what happens in the Book of Joshua. Yahweh orders the Israelites to carry out like a dozen different genocides. Crazy to think about how so many people worship Yaldabeoth, just under a different name. One of the main reasons I was an atheist as a little kid rather than believing what I was told was how little sense it made for Jesus and Yahweh to be parts of the same triune God when Jesus was quite peaceful while Yahweh is a war god and god of storms and metallurgy who drowns mankind.

    Two things need to be noted.
    "Gnostic" is a term coined in 17th. Adherents considered themselves Christians, and gnosticism was typically taught as an "inner school" of Christianity, something for a select few and not regular members.
    There were MANY schools of gnostic thought, each with their own number of aeons, their names for the demiurge, their own philosophy on the nature of sin and salvation, and their own take on how Logos and Sophia conspired to restore the divine sparks trapped in the material world, and so on. It was NOT as monolithic as the video makes it out to be.

    This was just fantastic. Yaldabaoth being motivated by the "wouldn't it be funny if" principle is an entirely accurate and hilarious observation. Gnosticism has been the only Abrahamic mythology that's ever made any kind of sense to me because of how much effort was put into fitting the existing Tanakh into the perspective of the kind of new agey hippy spiritualist that Jesus is usually interpreted/depicted as. History's winners in this case just ignored all the massive plot holes, but Gnostics actually did the work and expanded the lore to have everything make sense to people who like, y'know, aren't morally reprehensible. It's always been fascinating to me, but it's of course dense and there is no canon and it's way more concerned with spirituality than myth making and narrative so it can be hard to parse.
    This animation really, REALLY does a great job putting all of that together in a really fun way. I really hope you do more of this, in particular I'm looking forward to the Gospel of Judas.

    I was a Protestant Christian for two years. Two years I tried to live by his commandments. I prayed to him, asked him for forgiveness, asked him to turn my life around. And what did I receive? Silence. Nothingness. Emptiness. I was depressed that I still live in sin and can't become a better person and that God doesn't answer my prayers. Then I started to look into Gnosticism and suddenly it all clicked. I realized that I was a slave to a horrible cosmic entity. I denounced my faith to Yaldabaoth and suddenly the depression stopped and I felt at peace. I'm sure there are a lot of "Christians" that are in a similar position as I was. These Christians then often move to Atheism or something like that which doesn't help them in the long run. They think that they've escaped this whole "religion stuff" but they keep living in the illusion, they keep living in a simulation of Yaldabaoth, not seeing the bigger picture. In fact I pity Atheists even more than Christians cause for Atheists there is only the material world left. That's exactly what Yaldabaoth wants. Only through Gnosis and knowing the true nature of reality can a human become truly free.

Basically would your groups be averse to compiling a bible for any reason? (Because I was compiling my own Gnostic Bible because someone asked me to.)
      3: I assume for the most part that you don't take the Gnostic myths like the one shown in this video as true, but I am curious what exactly is the modern Gnostic's stance on Yahweh, is he evil, a lesser god, simply fiction, or something else entirely?

The historical context of all this isn't just "a bunch of edgy trolls came together to write fan-fiction". Look up the books such as "The Gnostic Paul" by Elaine Pagels and the works of Bart Ehrman.

      No they weren't. The people who knew Jesus personally, the eyewitnesses to the events, founded Christianity. Christians knew that Gnostics were BS because their Church came from the source.
      Also, Bart Ehrman is a hack who sews doubt into the authenticity of the Bible in his public writing ("Bible manuscripts are full of tons of variations!"), but basically admits their complete reliability in his scholarly writing ("The variants are mostly spelling, grammar, etc, and don't change any of the meaning whatsoever.").

      @@usethis4511 Neh. Kabbalah interpretation make most sense. In it God is separate from creation, because his perfect nature would undone it. As such he is present through avatars, what not individually but collectively represent him. Those are so called Ophanim aka Thrones (what Christians call Seraphim).
      That include trinity of Archangels: King of Angels aka Voice of God Metatron (the guy on emerald throne), King of Sheol Sandelphon aka Abaddon, who rule over Living Beasts (what Christians call Cherubim), who is also boss of Satan. And the Arbiter, Archangel of Wisdom Raziel Helel aka The Christ.
      Anyway. Angels were banned from entering into domain of the creation, because creation fallow laws of nature and not the morality. But access was not blocked, because God in fact wanted angels to have free will and they needed option for disobedience. With taking all consequences of abandoning divine protection to hypocritically blame God for that.
      Archangel of Justice Samael didn't get the memo and was outraged when spirits fallow Azazel (First Fallen, completely irrelevant Goat Angel of Rage) and called for ban on they return. Only to find out that Raziel descend on Earth to bring them back. He accused him of fall and was trying sabotage his work, only to find out that Raziel is personification of the God.
      As agreement Samael was replaced on duty by Michael and become angel of death, with access to material realm. From that point he become known as Satanael. God's Prosecutor. With this role he can seduce evil people to destroy themselves and prove his point.
      Important note! Satan is not and never was fallen! In bible straight fallow orders from God (seriously, did anyone read Job, where he randomly show up in heaven?). Prophecy of Revelation reveal that it would fall on the day of the end, ending this dispute. Until that, he is technically correct as humanity in fact suck.

    Time is a tricky part of all of this. You have to keep in mind that time here probably doesn't matter outside of this terrible place.

What seems like an eternity was probably instantaneous to the monad. I'm not worried one bit. I'm already witnessing the false thrones slowly destroying themselves. This actually happened in an instant. We can't forget that time itself is a part of this.

      Jesus said he was the old testament God in books written after his departure, to the influence of the already solidified cults of Yaldabaoth. Why would he state he is the son of man, if he was the son of the Old Testament God? Not Man? He states he is the son of Man because that's just what he was physically. A son that sprang forth into the world from Humanity, as we are destined to give birth to him again, as our creation, to end the eternal stalemate of Good and Evil.
