warning that the genocide against the Gentile race is around the corner
Genocide against the Gentiles has been going on for a long time. IMO, that was one of Jesus's objectives, to warn us about it. Let me tell you a story; late one evening in the quiet hills of Galilee, Jesus sat with his inner circle reading from the Torah. The fire light danced on the parchment illuminating the ancient Hebrew letters. They had just finished a passage in Exodus, a terrifying passage where Yahweh commands the Israelites to "slaughter entire cities, men, women, children, livestock, everything that breathes. Leave nothing alive.". The words hung in the air like smoke. Peter looked up from the scroll, his face pale and disturbed. he asked in a low voice. Master, why is the god of our fathers so violent? Why is he so jealous? Why is he so angry? You teach us about a father of infinite love, a father of light, but this he gestured at the scroll with a trembling hand, this does not feel like love. This feels like rage.
Jesus closed the scroll slowly. He looked at each of them in the eyes, Peter, John, Mary Magdalene, and he said something that would eventually get him killed. Something the church would spend 2,000 years trying to erase from human consciousness. He said, "That is not the Father. That is not the the supreme god. The god you are reading about. The one who demands blood sacrifices. The one who drowns the world in floods. The one who commands genocide and calls it holy. He has a name. Yaldabaoth, the demiurge, the chief archon. And he has been pretending to be the most high since the beginning of this realm. This teaching never made it into the Bible.
I assume you're referring to the American actor and director. Neither you nor Jonathan have any idea what happened or didn't happen 2,000 years ago. And Hollywood would be the last place I would turn to for answers. The demiurge, you call him Yahweh, within the Gnostic narrative emerges as the pivotal revelation. The entity who molded our lived environment, yet not the supreme divinity, spawned from Sophia's solitary emanation. Jesus and Christ are not the same thing. Jesus was the man. Christ is the consciousness he achieved. Jesus became the Christ, but Christ consciousness existed before Jesus and remains available after Jesus. This isn't diminishing Jesus. It's understanding his true accomplishment.
Have you ever watched the Truman Show movie? it was released in 1998, and is an American satirical science fiction film directed by Peter Weir and written by Andrew Nickel. The Truman Show is one of the most precise Gnostic allegories ever put to film. a nearly perfect cinematic translation of ancient Christian texts discovered at Nag Hammadi that described reality as a prison created by a false god, humanity as divine beings trapped in ignorance, and awakening as the dangerous process of seeing through the illusion and escaping toward true freedom. every major element of the film. Kristoff as the demiurge, Seahaven as the material world prison, Truman's glitches and suspicions as Gnosis beginning, Sylvia as Sophia calling from beyond the dome, and Truman's final crossing of water and ascent through the door as the souls escape from Archons control maps directly onto Gnostic cosmology with such precision that it's impossible to believe it's accidental. This isn't subtle symbolism open to interpretation. This is a deliberate, carefully constructed retelling of the Gnostic spiritual narrative for a modern audience.
Have you asked yourself why so many things are being revealed to us these days? you talk about history, but our past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth. Until now... IMO we're living in interesting times. People are becoming awake, and starting to ask themselves "am I living in a simulation?". And it's not because any of our actions, it's just happening...
Look, I was right, now you're just getting dogmatic and sectarian. You decided to tell everyone a "narrative" without any backing about Jesus and his disciples, and you're now backing it by the "narrative" of Plato's cave, without any respect to whether things happened or not.
Since you're not getting my own allegory but supplying your own, Frakes hosted a show where elaborate urban legends were acted out to let the audience determine which actually happened and which were entirely fabricated. Your idea that Jesus rejected Scripture, when there is 100% testimony (even at Nag Hammadi) that Jesus affirmed Scripture more than anyone, is unhelpful to your moving forward. You're stuck in a story someone told you that you believe in telling others as the only way to validate it.
I told you that I refuse all those titles upon the satan and you continue to pretend I accord them to him. The satan is not self-existent (Yahweh) or architect (demiurge) or environment molder or divinity or wise (Sophia-spawned). You're not listening to that.
If our past was erased (as to emanations, although it wasn't), then you don't get to write a new past about Jesus rejecting Scripture. We must inquire together. I haven't objected to the parts of your gnosticism that speak of awakening and theosis, but they cannot proceed in the escape you desire without a firm recognition that what happens happens and cannot be lied about. Jesus on earth had a particular character shown in all sources and if we reject that character we reject our best Guide.

No thanks. Jonathan Frakes said, "Never happened."
