If, according to Plato’s Theory of Forms, every perfect Form (such as Beauty, Justice, or Goodness) exists beyond the physical world, could the Form of the Good be understood as equivalent to God? And if so, what implications would that have for the nature of divine perfection, creation, and the human soul’s quest for truth?

I don't think that it's appropriate to think of the Form of the Good as being God. Plato posits the existence of a Demiurge who created the world in /accordance/ with the Form of the Good, but the Demiurge is not the Form of the Good itself.

The Demiurge is not God, God and the Demiurge are difference between good and evil

This is Platonism, not Gnosticism. Plato's Demiurge is neither good nor evil.

Why do you care about Demiurge that much?

I really don't. It's a rather inconsequential part of Plato's philosophy.

You don't know who you're talking to, because this board doesn't have IDs.

Perfect forms cannot exist, and the theory of the forms is escapism in the shape of denial of reality. We recognize forms from experience, not from supernatural intuition to an unseen world. The theory of forms (and Kant's subsequent noumenal fiasco) build a worldview on a flawed and highly contested presupposition.
