Yahweh tortures a man named Job in order prove Job's faithfulness to him. Does this sound like the behavior of a loving God? Here we see how the actions of the Old Testament God are actually those of the Demiurge and not the actions of the Father.

Gnostic Insights ·

2022/03/24

The Demiurge controls our material universe with strings of power, like a puppet master. There is no free will in the material controlled by the Demiurge. Free will is an attribute of the Father's consciousness flowing down through living creatures from Above. This episode clearly explains the difference between the way the Demiurge controls matter versus how the Fullness of God creates cooperation for the betterment of all.
