I have questions that needs discussion or at least more information. These thoughts won’t leave me alone, I’ve been carrying them for weeks in my mind. Now I want to talk about them, or see, if you can share some insight. Here we go:Jesus Christ: Christ /Christos is a title – “anointed one” or in Hebrew “Messiah”. Jesus as name has its origin as Yehoshua / Jehoshua and Yesua / Jeschua, the Greeks translated it to Iesous and in Latin Iesus, later known as Jesus. The name Yehoshua translated means literally “YHWH saves” -> “Yahweh/Jehova saves”. Therefore: “Jesus Christ” = “Messiah Yahweh saves”. In a traditional sense that works for Christians, but not in Gnosticism: here YHWH is, the not only the god of the Old Testament, claiming to be the one above all. He is also a creation of Sophia and he has many names: the first Archon, Demiurge, Yaldabaoth, Saklas, Samael etc. and he’s far from perfect. Considering this background, the name Jesus becomes “the Demiurge saves”, which is ironic and paradox. The Demiurge farming humans for loosh to thrive on their devine Pleroma-energy-sparks can not be the one who saves our souls, because he recycles us to keep us here forever. Therefore, the name “Jesus” is pure propaganda, because it’s leads people directly into the arms of their oppressor. I’m aware, that the name “Jesus” or rather “Yehoshua” has been around for a long time and it’s possible that it’s simply a name given to a baby, like any other. However, if Jesus was a real man walking the earth, with the mission to free people from YHWH, is it possible that his name was chosen by negative forces to manipulate his presence? I mean, if YHWH knows: “that dude is spawning in my MMORPG Hell World to end my EXP farm, I better fix causality in a way, that he is named in my honor, so the confusion factor leads the blind into my arms”, could it be, that the name Jesus is like a marketing label to promote YHWH? >1/2 cont.
>>42937597>2/2>Gospel of Philip: “The rulers wanted to fool people, since they saw that people have a kinship with what is truly good. They took the names of the good and assigned them to what is not good, to fool people with names and link the names to what is not good. So, as if they were doing people a favor, they took names from what is not good and transferred them to the good, in their own way of thinking. For they wished to take free people and enslave them forever.”If Jesus was a real man walking this earth and he is and was what we’re told, would he be able to choose his own name given to him? If YHWH is the Demiurge, would Jesus know his own name is a deception? Did Jesus ever talk about that? I know there are different Gnostic traditions and schools of thought, sorry if I mixed up some of them, but I’m sure some of you know what I’m talking about here. Btw sry, I forgot to type a headline/topic for this thread.
>>42937614The meme about the demiurge being the old testament's god is an oversimplification and if you read the actual texts it is not necessarily clear that it's what they believed, atleast not in all texts. YHWH is not written once in the whole Nag Hammadi corpus. And always keep in mind that the NH texts are not a coherent corpus and are a collection of translated texts which are probably from different sects with conflicting opinions. Most things that are said about the demiurge nowadays (and especially on this board) are gross oversimplification, as well as the belief that gnosticism is dualistic. As for Jesus' name, there are truly no coincidences, in the same way that him being a carpenter is also highly symbolic (which doesn't discount the fact that it was also probably an historical reality, just to be clear). Names are off high importance. I don't believe that YHWH necessarily means evil too. The quote from the Gospel of Philipp clearly refers to common nouns, not proper nouns :>"Names given to the worldly are very deceptive, for they divert our thoughts from what is correct to what is incorrect. Thus one who hears the word "God" does not perceive what is correct, but perceives what is incorrect. So also with "the Father" and "the Son" and "the Holy Spirit" and "life" and "light" and "resurrection" and "the Church" and all the rest - people do not perceive what is correct but they perceive what is incorrect, unless they have come to know what is correct."Although the coptic text doesn't really mean correct/incorrect but more stable/unstable. To me this passage just reinforces how language is flawed and that we shouldn't get too hang up on words and what they mean in their common sense but try to understand their analogical meaning.
Samefag, but I also thought that this part of GoPh would interest you regarding this subject :>"Jesus" is a hidden name, "Christ" is a manifested name. For this reason "Jesus" is not particular to any language; rather he is always called by the name "Jesus". While as for "Christ", in Syriac it is "Messiah", in Greek it is "Christ". Certainly all the others have it according to their own language. The "Nazarene" is the manifested part of what is hidden.In the whole text, there is a call to go beyond manifestation and find what is hidden (something that other NH texts also emphasize). Thus, I think the text clearly states that Jesus is the higher name, the one that is fixed and closer to the ineffable reality, so I wouldn't think that this would be a deceiving name.
>>42937597the trick is you are the demiurge its the flaming serpents that rise everyone else stays on there belly
>>42937597That's a big question mark.Because the gnostic position makes a lot of sense and there's tons of evidence they're right - but why then this name?
In Aramaic, Jesus' language, Jesus is known as Isho. Muslims call him Isa. Supposedly (!?) the same origin and meaning as Yeshua. Idk.
Jewish nonsense and schizogobbledeygook no ones responsible for shit thay may or may not have happened thousands of years before we were born. >ITS SO SO IMPORTANT U CARE ABT SHIT THAT HAPPENED THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE YOU WERE BORN, BC UHH, A BOOK SEZ SOThe problem, with religious schizos, and thats a lot of people, is they think a book, is god talking to them, in their head. But a book, is not god talking to you in your head. Thats why all religious testimonies are useless junk. Its why hyperreligious people, are not going to make it much longer. Their brains cannot adapt to new information, so they stay trapped, in the same useless failed patterns of behavior, for centuries. They routinely go insane. Religion is the cause of most suffering on this planet. You fight, and argue, and debate, about the useless opinions, of DEAD JEWISH PEOPLE WHO DIDNT KNOW THE EARTH WAS ROUNDDEAD IRON AGE JEWS WITH SUB 100 IQS

>>42937614>Did Jesus ever talk about thatnot directly about that, but he called the O.T. god a "bad father", when saying that a good father knows not to give poisonous snakes to his hungry childrenthat example is not randomly picked, in the O.T., when Moses and his people were wandering in the desert and were fed up with manna from heaven and required proper meal, the O.T. god gave them poisonous snakesnow regardless whether that is metaphorical or has a deeper meaning or not.fact is, that Jesus called the o.t. god a bad fatherwhen Jesus prays to his father, he is not praying to YHWH.furthermore, if you really dive deep, you will notice that YHWH is only one of the 70 give or take "gods", part of a pantheon, who came to earth. each nation was alotted one such "god", lets rather call them aliens, higher life forms, to take away all the jazzthe one responsible for the jews was YHWH and was a really unpleasant alien, which the jews continually resisted and tried to get away from, for good reasonhe was terrorizing them, cutting open the earth to make it swallow people alive, genociding others, etc.people did not respect YHWH out of love, but out of fear, which is not true respectJesus on the other hand is operating for some other god, which he refers to as his fatheryou have to understand one thing: God, the Allmighty, is not a person. none of the prophets were in direct contact with God the Allmighty, as that is an impossibility. any being that you come into contact to, can not be God. God transcends duality and is the All, other than God there is nothing, the illusion is that of multiplicity and absence of God. it is paradoxical, it is as if waves over the ocean (name and form, concepts, abstractions) are trying to figure out where "water" is, not understanding that there is no waves, its just a made up concept, and that water was the only thing that existedsuch it is with the real God. there is not one wave, no matter how big it is, that is "God"
