The Old Testament God and the Gnostic Gospel
The old Testament God, (aka God himself) can at first glance appear to be a brutal, unforgiving tyrant. But a careful reading of the Old Testament reveals this; that he is motivated by one thing alone, and that’s rooting out evil, so that he can guide humanity away from the suffering caused by their own sin.
One thing God never does is take pleasure in human suffering, the way humans sometimes do in forms of abuse such as rape or torture. The old Testament is a heavy read, but without God revealing himself, first to the Israelites, and then to all humanity in the form of Jesus, we would have sunk deeper and deeper into causing suffering to each other, motivated by our own selfish desires.
Gnosticism is a belief system that turns the Biblical narrative upside down. It is an inverted Gospel where human sin is not the problem, but the Old Testament God. It tells a fiction that this God is a failed creator, who created this earth to imprison us in a fallen planet. To Gnostics it’s the God that’s imperfect, while humans themselves, they are all full of ‘Christ consciousness,’ can be gods themselves.
Gnosticism appeals to human pride. We don’t need to examine our imperfections. We just have to keep working on ourselves until we ascended to the stars, trying to attain the hidden knowledge that Satan tempted Eve with in the garden. Because Satan is good in this inversion.
Gnosticism also fits perfectly into the new age narrative, where we’re all high vibe gods and goddesses, on our way to 5D or enlightenment.
While we can force glimpses behind the curtain, trying to attain hidden knowledge will always come with full force of destruction of that first original sin; eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, it will always come with suffering, and even death.
It was when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit that death first entered the world and it is this continual sin and suffering that keeps playing out aided by the pushing of Gnosticism by the elites.
If you look at films like The Matrix, or The Truman Show, the premise goes something like this; an evil creator is keeping people trapped in a simulation that they must escape from. There are many other films that have Gnostic elements in.
If we were living in a simulation, a fake earth created by an evil god, why would the elites be so keen for us to know about it through the films?
Some would say it’s what is known as ‘revelation of the method’ that it’s part of their code to tell us what they are doing. But I don’t think so.
I think it is a counterfeit awakening, feeding us something that looks like truth, but is simply the twisted stories of the father of lies, Satan himself.
There are more and more mainstream articles being written about the suggestion we are living in a simulation, and it’s becoming more and more of a common belief.
But, behind the curtain of Gnostic beliefs, it’s Satan, hating God, and wanting to paint him in an evil light.
Yes our world has its ugly aspects, and Satan is the god who rules it.
But in between the thorns and the thistles that sprung up after the fall, there is the goodness of God’s original creation, the plants that heal, the orange sunset, and the smile of a loved one who is not a god, but was made in God’s image.
One of the lines I remember reading in a David Icke book was that the real world is so much more beautiful than this.
And I think that’s one of the motivations behind Gnosticism to make us reject this world, to think of God’s creation as something that is not good, when God made it and saw that it was good.
Read the new testament and fall in love with Jesus, and then read the Old Testament and ask Jesus to reveal to you, with an open mind, if it really is the same God. ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13.8.) Jesus is there in the words of the prophets of the old Testament. He was there on day one of creation as part of the trinity who created this earth from the very beginning.
As the Gnostic gospel gets louder and more and more mainstream there is a humble servant, who is there to lead us towards the truth.
And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8.32
