I just started looking into this Gnostic view of Christianity, and as a Greek Orthodox convert I’m honestly freaking out. I tried asking my spiritual father at our local church some questions about the Pneumatikoi, Sethians, Nazoreans, Cathars, Bogomils, and other Gnostic phenomena in general he just dismissed them as heretical nonsense, said they shouldn't be taken seriousl and made no further commentary.

It okey to me the idea that naterial world is a trap and creation of evil. But how do one can achieve gnosis for salvation and escape great psychopath yaldabaoth exactly ?

>>40559656 (OP)

watch a few jay dyer vids (dont listen to the gnostic coomers on this board), that'll explain it better.

>>40559656 (OP)
Gnosticism is about self-knowledge. It's not about myth. Everything that it says is allegory for something. The whole "creation story" is just a model of the mind.

>>40559656 (OP)
Because they are heretical nonsense.

Satan and Lucifer are said to be the same by many people, idk how true that is.

Dunno why that anon went out of his way to swap out "Lucifer" for "Satan", if he actually thinks they're one and the same. It's a real dick move if you ask me, putting words in another's mouth. On purpose.

they appear to be same thing in both OT and NT but some thinks Lucifer was one of Satanel's commanding Legions just like Michael being God's archangel. Mormons say Michael was Jesus and some gnostic sects say Lucifer was Jesus in disguise so its pretty complicated

>>40559656 (OP)
He did right, it's all garbage, but orthodoxy itself has t's own share of baggage.

“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” (Matthew 23:9)

>>40559900
nice synchronicity

>The whole "creation story" is just a model of the mind.
Indeed it's just a rewrite of the book Genesis.

>>40560711
Right, I'm aware many people believe Lucifer and Satan are the same, but that's obviously not the point of contention here. I wasn't expecting to need to flip out like this, but do I really need to explain this?
The problem is that the Youtuber was blatantly misquoted, his view 100% misrepresented to mean the complete opposite of what he believes. By association, I'm sure it's reasonable to assume some Gnostic ideas were misrepresented too, and this thread is about Gnosticism. You'd expect someone would notice and say something, no? Well I just happened to pass by because I'm a procrastinating nigger, so I picked up my keyboard.

I mean seriously man. Surely you see the problem here?
>Youtuber: "Jesus is Lucifer"
>Anon: "get a load of this guy >Jesus is satan"
How could this not be intentional? Who twists a 3-word quote like this without intention, for any reason other than malice or incompetence?
There's no justification for misquoting people. That's a line men don't cross.
Peace.

If you temporarily have your memories of a past life during a reincarnation, then one is likely to be directly connected with [God] through every step of the way, and that includes the human & animal brain being hardwired to care for a baby properly during the average circumstance.

And just how mislead people are from evangelists, preaching flat earth, and anti semitism, it doesn't surprise me how someone might suspect Jesus to be a master of lies.

>>40564134
Jesus Christ represents the most perfect person you could possibly be. It is why all major religions don't deny what he said and the wicked detest him- because it is perfect, they just say "well he wasn't the Son of God as he said" But the most perfect person would in fact be the Son of God.

Do gnostics know the real secret truth about our hedgehog masters?

It all makes sense now.

>>40564250
He denied himself to be called good sir. And said there is only one that is good. (Referring to his father)

The thing about Christians I detest is their obsession over righteousness.

>>40565363
“And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.” (Matthew 19:17)

In context he's saying "If you don't believe I'm God, then don't call me good".

“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” (Exodus 3:14)

“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” (John 8:58)

F-Fine. At least let me have this without context then.

Gnostiism is a step in the right direction but it's still not complete. The demiurge is an excuse for God Himself, who longs for ignorance, which is why he let Christ die.

>>40565410
Crazy shit. Protect your mind,sir.

>>40565618
This is the horrific truth. God himself can't bare the truth of what he knows. It's up to us to be better than God and bare the truth without building escapist ignorant worlds to escape it like he does.

>>40565651
The God who forbade the fruit of knowledge was not tyrannical or evil or any of that. God simply cannot handle viewing his own reflection. It is up to us to view our own without being cowards because God himself cannot.

>>40565668
Jesus didn't just die for our sins. He died for God's sins.

>>40565677
Satanism is the embrace of God's own weaknesses. God longs for everything ignorant and evil to escape his own responsibilities. Christ told us that all the goodness in the universe is up to us. We have to be it. There's nobody else.

>>40565691
>Christ told us that all the goodness in the universe is up to us.

Chapter and verse, please.

>>40565722
"Why have you foresaken me?"
Jesus asked the question, I give you the horrific answer. God Himself could not side with Jesus' light. God stared at his own reflection and broke under his own weight and created all things ignorant as an escape. Only in a world as diluted as this can we bare truth without doing the same, and we must. We are the last hope. And God will not support us. We are as alone as Jesus himself was when he was forsaken. God actually favors Satanists, everyone knows this. Either we build heaven ourselves or it's never built. Take responsibility anons.

>>40565796

Some Freemasons claim that he said, "O Brothers of Heliopolis, where are you?" which does make some sense and is lore-friendly because it raises the question of why someone like Jesus would question his own Father i.e. God.

Gnosticism tells you what's up, and Buddhism tells you what to do about it. Buddha taught straightforward instructions for how to achieve gnosis, without any of the cryptic riddles and obfuscation Jesus tainted his teachings with.

>>40567784
the buddha is laughing because he keeps telling people
>yes i solved it
>no i cannot tell you
>now gieb rice
which is just the same old Dao that cannot be taught thing, which is just that the joke is that there is no other side to get to

Buddha is laughing because he accepts he doesn't save anyone and doesn't feel bad about it because he gets free rice, while the Bodhisattva lets himself get scammed. Just like gnosis whoa what a twist.

>>40567789
What are you talking about? He literally spent his life teaching how to do it. Develop strong concentration and meditate on anicca, dukkha, and anatta. Rinse and repeat until you achieve cessation. Repeat the cycle three more times to traverse from stream entry to arahantship, at which point you are free from reincarnation.

Christ is a Drug term
According to Euripides, written before any torah/bible, shows that the Christ was in fact a Sex Drug.

Jesus was a Lestes who waked around with 12 underage prostitute boys he called his disciples and was arrested in the public park with a naked kid, telling the soliders arresting him that he's not a "child trafficker" while he's in the park at 4 am with a naked kid, with the christing drugs on his forehead and a massive erection (side effect of the christing drugs)

Most of the discussion about Gnosticism is Misdirection and Disinformation. There are basically 2 camps in Christianity: Petrine-Pauline Christianity of Hierarchy, Sin, Fear, Retribution, FUD, Orders and Rules, and scriptures, which emphasize Priests and Ministers, and Deacons, all between you and your God. Then there's the Mary Magdalene-Valentinian camp, which emphasizes Direct Experience and Mysticism. In an Ideal world, they would complement one another, but this isn't an Ideal world

>>40569632
If you're looking at it historically, imo Paul properly belongs on the side of the not-hierarchy-obsessed mystics. It's just that his letters are shot through with forgeries and interpolations to "correct" for his wrongthink (that there are forgeries and interpolations is a majority opinion among academics iirc, e.g. the pastoral epistles; it's just a question of how many.) And we have so little from Peter (both letters purportedly from him are suspected of being forgeries by many) that it's hard to say what he thought except that he was probably more Judaism-leaning and less gentile-friendly compared to Paul based on the disputes between them that appear in Paul's letters. I think it's possible that Peter wasn't very aligned with the variety of Christianity that became dominant either.

>>40569844 (cont.)
I mean, since you mentioned Valentinus, he supposedly traced his lineage back to Paul through someone named Theudas. So, if that's correct, their ideas shouldn't be too irreconcilable once the corruption is accounted for.

Bottom line: This planet is Bozrah, not Earth. Read this post...

https://x.com/elitefeat/status/1799553063390154856
============================
This planet is not Earth. It is Bozrah.

Earth is another planet about 75,000 light years from here, whereas this planet is merely an impostor planet that calls itself "Earth." Big difference. And trust me, I know how to count to 10 seconds, ACCURATELY. What used to be 10.00 seconds (for me) is now a whopping 15.00 seconds! If you don't believe me, see Matthew 24:22 and Revelation 8:12. For the natives, though, the speed of time here has always been the same.

If you are a Bozrah native, you are in serious trouble. The people of this planet must acknowledge that Bozrah is not Earth and that Jesus is coming to destroy it. Otherwise, don't expect God to save you.
============================

Note: The event in which Jesus destroys this planet is called "the day of vengeance." There is no 7-year Tribulation here.

>>40560365
that got real retarded real fast. just be happy and confident and ignore losers like this

>>40559656 (OP)
Because hes right. Anything that denies Jesus coming in the flesh to this world is not a good spirit. You can tell by the fruits of these spirits.

Besides gnostism is just fancy bullshit, there's nothing objective about it, the highest enlightment is you obtaining secret knowledge, but if you honestly think that your too smart to be manipluated by outside forces, or just being flatout wrong (like every human is most of their life) then you see why.

I almost got sucked into the whole gnostic meme, but once you really get an understanding of christianity you'll know that gnostics are full of shit. Going around spouting man's teachings instead of Gods. You'll probably be interested in them for a while, but dont put your faith in their teachings, its not meant to save you

>>40565651
>This is the horrific truth
The pain of omniscience is something only God can bare. When in the form of man, the pain of mankind is ones own, and rather than heal it, man would condemn the one who revealed the pain of wickedness to them.
Jesus death is the pain of mankind being hidden in darkness from God. If we were innocent in the garden once again we could be naked before the light of God and there would be no death. But we are clothed in the body and that body bares the cross of our sins, which condemn us to die. If we were to lay our sins before the lord, he could resurrect us into eternal life.

>>40571960
