Is The Demiurge Yahweh?
TITLE: Is The Demiurge Yahweh? Gnostic Answers on The Identity of The Old Testament God

Dive deep into one of the most provocative questions in religious history: Did the Gnostics believe that Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament, was the Demiurge?

Explore the radical dualistic worldview of Gnosticism, which distinguishes between the transcendent, unknowable Supreme God and the flawed, ignorant creator of the material world—the Demiurge. In many Gnostic systems, this Demiurge (often called Yaldabaoth, Samael, or Saklas) is explicitly identified with the wrathful, jealous deity described in Genesis.  

In this video, we will:

Unpack the Gnostic Creation Myth: Discover the story of the Aeon Sophia and the accidental, monstrous birth of the Demiurge.

Analyze Biblical Passages: See how Gnostic thinkers read the Hebrew Scriptures not as a unified revelation, but as a dual narrative revealing the limitations and arrogance of the material world's creator.  

Explore the Controversy: Understand the stark philosophical contrast between the Gnostic "Blind God" and the omnibenevolent Father God of the New Testament.

This is a vital exploration for anyone interested in Gnosticism, early Christianity, the problem of evil, and the hidden identities of the divine in ancient thought.
