I hate to point out the obvious

But Genesis was written by Moses.....thousands of years before the Gnostic movement.


So I seriously doubt that Gnostics had "secret" info about it.






BTW "Genesis" was written by Moses as a brief re-cap of Jewish
Oral tradition on the subject.


So if you want to hear the full story go ask a Rabbi

-in a nutshell True Gnostics

Doctor J. Chiappalone
The World of Metaphysics
August 12, 2009

INTRODUCTION

I would like to think that readers of these items have had some exposure to my previous books for the concepts I write about are not easy to grasp without some preliminary knowledge of how a Gnostic sees this world.
Here in a nutshell is a very, very simple version of what I, and True Gnostics, are on about:
The world and all the physical structures in this dimension, which is one of many, in a universe among many universes, was created by a minor aberrant, rebellious and belligerent subordinate of the Divine Hierarchy. This "builder" of the physical world has been called the demigod, demiurge, Satan, Yaldabaoth, the Evil One, Yahweh, and, in his most recent disguise, Jehovah.
Along with the physical universe, this aberrant being, a minor creator, created false or counterfeit consciousness as distinct from theomorphic consciousness which he entrapped when he built this dimension. His counterfeit creation has both robotic beings and more virulent soulless ones called demons. The True Creation and the Counterfeit creation are mixed together in the physical so that it is virtually impossible to tell who is who. But there are vast essential differences between the two types.
Once this demigod created this dimension, "he" (gender is a limitation of our language) set about exploiting the energy of the trapped True Beings, for that was the only way he could sustain the dimension. He had been cut off by the Hierarchy from the Source of Divine Energy.
Every aspect of existence in all the physical dimension is geared so that the counterfeit beings can extract energy from the trapped True Beings. This explains the abuse, suffering and exploitation of this plane. But it is done in a surreptitiously deceitful way lest the trapped beings awaken and resist their exploitation. Most are drugged by the various programming factors which affect their minds and bodies to be spiritually moribund.
The process which gave rise to the aberrant demigod has been called the Celestial Error. Since the time of emergence of an Evil Mind from this Error, and its refusal to obey Divine Laws, a War of Essences has been waged. The Divine Hierarchy attempted to correct the error as the inimical demigod resisted correction. Because the actions of the demigod and all his mechanisms, and creations, including the robots and demons, act against the Divine, and its Laws, they have been labelled EVIL. Their actions result in spiritual assassination of the trapped True Beings.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17558664


I think paganism (without the satanic connotation) is a much more valid religion of mysticism than gnostic. It certainly is much easier to understand.

However, you can not go around saying I am a pagan. Christians will assume you sacrifice babies during full moons.

"They are agents of error rather than evil — but human error, when it goes uncorrected and runs beyond the scale of correction, turns into evil and works against the universal plan of life. Gnostics taught that the Archons exploit our tendency to let our mistakes go uncorrected."

The Fashioning of This World

Yadabaoth united with the thoughtlessness (aponoia) within him.
He begot ruling authorities (exousia)
Modeling them on the incorruptible realms above.


He is blasphemous through his thoughtlessness.
He said “I am God, and there is no God but me!”
Since he didn’t know where his own Power originated.

Yaldabaoth modeled his creation
On the pattern of the original realms above him
So that it might be just like the indestructible realms.

[Not that he had ever seen the indestructible ones.
Rather, the power in him, deriving from his mother,
made him aware of the pattern of the cosmos above.]

When he gazed upon his creation surrounding him
He said to his host of demons
The ones who had come forth out of him:
“I am a jealous God and there is no God but me!”

[But by doing this he admitted to his demons that there is indeed another God.
For, if there were no other God, whom would he possibly be jealous of?]


 Quoting: 2342


As you can see, Yaldabaoth the Chief Archon sounds identical to the God portrayed in the Abrahamic religions.

Here are a few bible quotes for comparison,

Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Deuteronomy 5:9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me
 Quoting: 2342
when it says lord its talking about a man leader...when it says almighty god,its talking about the Creator...that was Arron who got jealous,he was the high priest...
How unfortunate for some rulers when men,women,and children continue to think... Keep repeating the lies loud enough and long enough and just maybe the people will start to believe the lies again and good luck with that...finding your energy open until mars becomes raging aries...

The Jerusalem Tophet Valley of the Son of Hinnom

We know that YHVH had humans sacrificed to him, as even Christian apologists won't deny. However, this leads us to a question about the other character, the one named Molech. There's mounting evidence that Molech was not a God or a demon, simply put, Molech was simply the name for child sacrifices dedicated to Yahweh. How do we know this? We know this from Phoenician settlements in current day Sicily and Northern Africa. There, we find Tophets, the same ones found outside of Jerusalem. The Phoenicians were a close relative of the Hebrews, as their language and culture evolved from them. We know them as the Canaanites. The fire sacrifices of the Jerusalem Tophet, like their language, pottery, and history, comes from the Canaanites.

Isaiah 30:29

"Such shall be your song, as on a night a feast is celebrated with gladness of heart, as when one marches in procession with the flute, to enter the mountain of Yahweh, to the Rock of Israel. Yahweh has made heard the crash of His voice, the down -- sweep of His arm he has displayed, with hot wrath and flame of consuming fire, cloudburst and flood and hailstones. Yes! At the voice of Yahweh Assyria will cower -- with His staff He will beat him. Every passage of the rod of His punishment which Yahweh will lay upon him will be to the sound of timbrels and lyres; with battles of offerings He will fight against him. For his Topheth has long been prepared, He himself is installed as a victim [molek]. Yahweh has made its fire -- pit deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance. The breath of Yahweh, like aorrent of sulphur, sets it ablaze!"

Now we are ready to get the lines glowing red hot.

.. We came to the conclusions that the behavior that we had seen…that had been dished out to us individually was not just an accident of badly behaved people it’s endemic to the Yahwist religions because it comes out of the moral schizophrenia of Yahweh himself and that’s where we went back and looked at Egyptologists and their view of Yahweh because what we got here is a moral contradiction.

On the one hand claims of a God of Love and on the other hand, if you read the Old Testament - this god is ordering the Hebrews to slaughter people. ….If this behavior was exhibited by any human being they would be hauled up for War Crimes.

It appears people still believe the Great Architect of the Universe and all its splendor is Jealous.

Unfortunate.

Why would the Creator of the Universe be Jealous?

I found this on Yahoo Answers:

If G-d is unconditionally loving, why from Exodus 20:5 does it state, "...for I am a jealous God?"?

For the people who justify God being jealous. That's just stupid and using the prejudices of man to explain God which they do not know or understand. Unconditional love and jealousy ARE NOT IN ANYWAY COMPATIBLE. What part of UNCONDITIONAL do people who justify jealousy in their answers do not understand? Unconditional love holds no boundaries.

Thanks Melkha for your answer. Learning to actually read hebrew rather then get lost in translations of other languages is so much more understanding.

It doesn't say jealous in the original language. It states - Zealous.
a zealous God: Heb. קַנָּא, zealous to mete out punishment. He does not forgo retaliating by forgiving the sin of idolatry. Every [expression of] קַנָּא means zealous anger. He directs His attention to mete out punishment.

xtians changed it to promote their own agenda

Yeshayahu- Isaiah - Chapter 14
12. How have you fallen from heaven, the morning star? You have been cut down to earth, You who cast lots on nations.
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

The original Hebrew text has No Lucifer !

xtians changed it to promote their own agenda

Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 139
8. If I ascend to the heavens, there You are, and if I make my bed in the grave, behold, You are there.

KJV - Psalms 139:
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there .

xtians changed it to promote their own agenda

Most people who have read the Bible only in English think they know what it says.
But do they?
Translations from the original Hebrew have often changed the text’s intended meaning in significant ways. Take, for example:
* “The Lord is my shepherd”—the modern concept of shepherd is not what the biblical authors intended
* “Thou shalt not covet”—coveting is not what’s forbidden in this commandment

Where did things go wrong?
The problem began with the King James Version of the Bible (KJV). Commissioned in 1604 by King James of England and published in 1611, this literary classic still forms the basis of most biblical translations in English, including that of the Jewish Publication Society (JPS). This is problematical, first because English usage has changed so much in the past 400 years, rendering some of the original translations inaccurate; and second, because the KJV translators made serious translation mistakes that have been retained in contemporary English translations.

In short, the biblical shepherd was a “hero.”
By substituting “hero” for “shepherd,” we can make sense of the rest of the Psalm. “The Lord is my hero; I shall not want.” In other words, since God—like a ro’eh —is powerful enough to provide protection, guidance, and security, I’ll have nothing to worry about.

xtians changed it to promote their own agenda


The Story of ET - the xtian delusion of complete translation

Bereshit Bara Eloheim Et - IN A BEGINNING G-D CREATED ET. These are the first words of Torah, Genesis 1:1, ET was not translated by christian translators, they had no understanding of its meaning, so they just left it out. (So much for the thought voiced in Deuteronomy 8:3 that man lives by every word of G*D - for the translators stole G*D's words from you - no big deal to them !) ET is spelled Aleph Tav. Aleph Tav is an abbreviation for the ALPHA-BET. Aleph is the first letter of the ALPHABET and Tav the last. So in a beginning G-d created the ALPHA-BET. And G-d did this before creating the heavens and the earth. G-d used the letters, the building blocks, to create the world. Also the original Hebrew was written without vowels, an alternate reading of Bereshit Bara Eloheim Et - is For the sake of Torah and Israel. Which would make the first line a dedication to those whom it was written

Elohim is the Hebrew *title*, not name, that is used for one aspect of God as the creator. Just like a man can be a father, a brother, an uncle, a nephew, etc. without changing *who* he is, the title that is used to refer to YHVH (the Tetragrammaton - which is the only thing in Hebrew that could be considered as a *name*) changes depending on the context.

Yahweh is a bastardized Christian version of the Tetragrammaton, it is not found anywhere in Hebrew, or in the Tanakh (the Jewish Bible.)

Jewish people do not utilize "Yahweh".

"Yahweh" is not in the Torah. "Yahweh" is a Christian invention for pronunciation of a Hebrew name of G-d. In Hebrew there is a name of G-d that is spelled with Hebrew characters "Yud" "Hey" "Vuv" "Hey"

Christianity has invented a new name "Yahweh" from the
Hebrew characters "Yud" "Hey" "Vuv" "Hey".

Jewish people utilize the name "Elohim" however because that is a name in the Torah.

If there are any children sacrifices it is primarily pagan ritual:

A young child was found buried with its skull split by a weapon at Woodhenge. This was interpreted by the excavators as a child sacrifice.

What I find fascinating about the whole early Coptic writings from Yeshua's disciples as possibly being true, if there is a God AND he really is Yaldaboah, a demiurge, or basically a fraud, AND he is the same entity who revealed himself (more or less)to the early Israelis and is writen about by Moses AND is the Old Testament God, then there is greater truth I would imagine the demiurge would have to realize about himself.

And if he should ever understand and realize a greater truth, be it secretly in his own mind, what could that possibly mean, what could possibly result?

Who are you to use such broad brush strokes.

Do you know who a "semite" is according to ancient text.

Do a word study for Tophet.

Food for thought, no answer required-

Abraham believed that sacrificing his only son Isaac; lord Yahweh would restore Isaac from the dead.
Genesis 22:1-12

Sacrifice
Definition
The highest form of adoration. A priest authorized by God’s law in the name of the people offers a victim in acknowledgment of God’s supreme dominion and of our total dependence on God.

The victim is immolated, or destroyed, and thereby at least partially removed from human use. The victim is freely offered to God, which makes it an oblation or gift. Both together constitute the sacrifice, the victim freely surrendered by man as a gift to God.



Old Testament Sacrifice

In the Torah, sacrifice honored God by offering him creatures precious to man. Torah required two kinds of sacrifices: bloody and unbloody.

Among the bloody sacrifices, the holocaust, or whole-burnt offering, was the most perfect sacrifice. The animal was completely consumed by fire. This was the “perpetual sacrifice” because it was offered twice each day, in the morning and evening. The sin offering was to expiate misdeeds committed through ignorance or inadvertence. The kind of victim depended mainly on the dignity of the person offended. The guilt offering was for sins demanding restitution. The peace offering was in gratitude, in fulfillment of a vow, or simply voluntary. The unbloody sacrifices, offerings of solid or liquid food, accompanied every holocaust and peace offering, but never sin or guilt offerings (except at the cleansing of a leper).

THE BIRTH OF HELL,
from "The Highest Altar" by Patrick Tierney

Hell was born just outside the walls of Jerusalem, in the Valley of Ben Hinnom.
The prophet Jeremiah dubbed this "the Valley of Slaughter" (Jeremiah 19:6)
because so many children were immolated here in a deep pit known as the Tophet- "Place of Fire."
Even kings of Judah burned their sons and daughters at this Tophet.
Eventually, the sacrifices ceased. But the memory remained, as the Valley of Ben Hinnom was turned into Gehenna, the Hebrew word for "Hell," where sinners suffered the eternal torment of fire.
There's direct Biblical testimony that child sacrifice continued until the seventh century B.C. at the Tophet in the Valley of Ben Hinnom. The prophet Jeremiah says, "they have built a shrine of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, at which to burn their sons and daughters" (Jeremiah 7:31). King Ahaz of Judah worshipped at this Tophet. "He also burnt sacrifices in the Valley of Ben-hinnom; he even burnt his sons in the fire according to the abominable practice of the nations whom the Lord had dispossessed in favor of the Israelites. He slaughtered and burnt sacrifices at the hill-shrines and on the hill- tops and under every spreading tree" (2 Chronicles 28:3- 4). King Manasseh likewise "made his son pass, through the fire" (2 Kings 21:6). According to most Bible translations , these child immolations were made to the terrible god Moloch. Although Moloch has become one of the great demons of Judeo- Christian literature, there's strong evidence that Moloch was not a demon at all but simply the name for child sacrifices dedicated to Yahweh.
