Gnosticucks proving once again they haven't even read the Bible.

also what is the best way to read the nag hammadi texts?

I'd just start with the full codex list and read right down the line.

without a good grounding in secondary sources it'll be gumbo to you though. start with Hans Jonas. and gnosticism is a visionary tradition, stay close to the ones who know and far away from the lecture halls

the demiurge is part of creation too but doesn't realize it because he was damaged at birth. as a result, he believes he's the unmoved mover. at least, according to the story. gnostics have to perform mental gymnastics to get around the part in genesis where god sees creation is good worse than anything christians do

Christians have a figure that is the source of all evil, they call him Satan. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Demiurge is likely influenced by the Satanic archetype anyways.

how job just makes God seem evil and a cunt that doesn't care about the well being of his followers but winning petty bets to feed his ego

>> No.17764572

>>17764240
Job is proto-gnostic anyways

>>17764308
no the demiurge is a satanization of the philonic logos

I despise God. I believe that YHWH exists and is an omniscient, omnipotent entity, and I will do my best to fuck him over.

All gnostics manage to do is bump the problem of evil back one step and pretend there's nothing more to say.

I thought man was the source of all evil

>>17765076
they don't, that's just the soft dualists. marcion and mani come under no such attack. there is evil, and there is good, and brute fact will always trump copes for intuitive appeal.

Hard dualism is even more retarded than gnostic pseudo dualism

>> No.17765145

>>17765130
traditional answers to the problem of evil are all unsatisfactory. I challenge you to come up with one that wasn't already refuted by Schelling. his is the only acceptable answer to the problem on this side of the issue. the gnostics are on the other.

>> No.17765202

>>17765145
I believe the Augustinian theodicy amended by Aquinas is insurpassable, but I also have an affinity for the Ireanean heresy.
I'm unfamiliar with Schelling. Whats a good start with him?
