The Book of Genesis, but its Gnostic... 

yaldabeoth sounds like he plays Sims

"Because He found it hilarious" is the best possible answer one can give to the question "why would a kind god do such a thing?"

YALDABAOTH BEING PROUD OF CAIN WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED THATS CRAZY XD😂😂😂😭😭😭😭

Easily the coolest and most convuluted type of heresy

There is the a variant that say that Sophie hide the Demiurge in a sphere of clouds, after put in him the devine spark. The Demiurge later awake, find that he is alone and is ignorant of his origin, so he believe hes the one true god.

Interesting how the virgin birth of a Devine being brought an evil or chaotic entity while the virgin birth of a human brought forth Jesus who represented the ultimate good

Wtf this is just Elden Ring Lore irl

Dude, this has got to be the best retelling of Gnostic Genesis I have ever come across. I am so very looking forward to the next segment.

It's nice to know that even back then there were people that read the actions of Yahweh in scripture and thought "This is clearly some kind of fucking demon."

Cain is such a gamer in this version.

Honestly that sounds just sad Deity girl tried to have a child of her own because thats what all deities were supposed to and because she was lonely as she didnt have a partner Then the child naturally comes out weird because it was created differently from others, so it is thrown away The child, lonely but exceptionally powerful creates a whole universe of their own and thinking it is the only thing in existence believes itself to be the only deity out there Of course, being a child with no moral guidance and not understanding how to treat others because it had no one, because it was literally thrown away, things go south with their creation very quickly Then the child's mother regretting what she did either due to true guilt or because it turns out her child is too powerful, tries to go there to talk The child, alone in their entire existence, doesnt want to let the mother go and traps her Naturally, the other gods try to intervene, but that only upsets the child further thinking they want to steal the mother away, so it lashes out and attacks them Surprisingly, the child wins because it is just that powerful, like the Broly of the gods, no wonder it thinks of itself as the true god This results in the child, being a greedy kid, taking away some of the divinity of the deities who tried to strike it down and using it for their own creation Of course the gods wouldnt let that slide and want to end the child's reign of terror over their own universe, so they send in a "saviour" This saviour brings magical knowledge that allows the beings trapped within the child's universe to flee it, hoping to free the mother that way These beings do so, because they see the child god as nothing more than a sadistic tyrant and rightfully so But to the child all that is happening is that the other deities attacked it again, not only wanting to steal the mother but also it's toys/pets that they made, which only make the child more heartbroken and furious And having never been taught how to deal with these feelings, it continues to lash out against it's creation and the other gods while having their mentality that they're the only god that matters reinforced by the other deities's actions, their cruelty towards it and use of subterfuge to steal what is theirs instead of fighting them like they attempted last time Thus the child's cruelty and desperation increases, even though all it ever wanted was to be accepted and loved like any child without their parent Its a tragedy

“Yaldabaoth found this hilarious” is a much better reasoning for the weirdness of the Bible than “God so willed it.” Why did he will it? He thought it was funny.

Yaldabaoth: “As for why? Because it amuses me. 😈”

Basically the gnostic lore is attempting to make sense why Christians insist the genocidal god in the old testament is the same god in the new testament who is also Jesus.

*Starving child holding out an empty bowl* more please.

I like how Yaldaboath isn’t pure evil like most malevolent beings, he’s just a bored asshole with mommy issues. The fact he’s the one who made humanity actually makes way more sense than a ultra benevolent god doing it

Great summarization and simplification of some seriously esoteric and ancient lore, well done!

A lot more surface level than most Gnostic teachers on the Tube, but a lot less sedating. I was actually able to follow the entire video without falling asleep to a monotonous voice. Subbed.

It's scary how much this makes way more sense out of the "approved" text.

This is actually lowkey makes a good series, if not an actual gnostic series, then a different series but with the same storyline. Theres too many plotwists, plus great charachter development!

Religion just seems more and more like some plot line for the legend of Zelda

Makes more sense than the mainstream interpretation of the Bible in which people perform mental acrobatics to make the demonic and hateful deity Yahweh out to be benevolent somehow. The story of Jacob and Esau makes way more sense when you realize Yahweh respects chutzpah, boldness and sneakiness above all else. And yeah, he protects Cain rather than punishing him, so it would make sense that he actually gets a kick out of watching people kill each other, especially considering what happens in the Book of Joshua. Yahweh orders the Israelites to carry out like a dozen different genocides. Crazy to think about how so many people worship Yaldabeoth, just under a different name. One of the main reasons I was an atheist as a little kid rather than believing what I was told was how little sense it made for Jesus and Yahweh to be parts of the same triune God when Jesus was quite peaceful while Yahweh is a war god and god of storms and metallurgy who drowns mankind.

Its funny how with this change in perspective all of the stories change meaning entirely and in many cases make more sense smth

Yaldabaoth sounds like how I would act if I was God

This would make a sick ass mythology for a video game

So the reason gnosticism is considered evil is essentially because it completely flips the script, and attributes the actions of God, a fully divine entity, to the first non divine entity

The Bible instantly makes 300% more sense when god is changed to a inter dimensional warlord

This is super interesting, can't wait for the next one

I tried to understand all this by reading the wikipedia page on the Gnostic origin story. It was so convoluted and confusing that I went crosseyed and got bored. The straight forward conciseness of this telling makes it all make more sense. Great job!

Thank you I been following up on the gnostic religion for a while and this video sums up everything I researched. I love the animation and the narrative you put together with Enoch. Please make more thank you.

Their books weren't burned because "we didn't like it" they were burned because the gnostics taught dangerous and damning heresies that contradicted the Apostles: those granted authority to teach by Jesus Himself. Regardless, this is a good retelling and simplification of the many gnostic heresies.

Gnosticism is so fascinating. A lot of Gnostics also practiced many “controversial” practices such as equality, abstinence, anti-classism, individualism, etc. The Church saw them as a threat.

The ironic thing about Sophia being wisdom is that her initial action is clearly the opposite of it.

Damn the “Ummmm Actually The Good guys are actually the Bad guys and the Bad guys are secretly good and misunderstand” edge lord shit runs deep in history

The bleep for the SA was so much louder than the rest of the video and really hurt my ears, fuck. Please turn that down next time lol

This makes me completely understand why The gnostics were destroyed

Holy crap! It’s about time a video like this came along, and finally put all the missing pieces of early Genesis together in an easy to understand way. Thank you, thank you, and thank you my friend! You now have a new internet fan for life in me! 🙏

Norea being able to breathe fire is so funny to me

Gnostics don’t all believe one thing. Maybe a few general agreements about knowledge, know thy self for example. But like Buddha teaches, you/each person has to taste the strawberry and it may taste different to each person but they now each know.

"Yaldabaoth finds this event hilarious"

Man this is fr the most entertaining and fascinating semi-religious video/sermon i have ever watched 🤯🤯 Can't wait for part 2 😂😂🔥

Now I understand why the early church burned the Gnostics books.

There's actually a lot of contention that YHWH is actually Sabaoth and means well but does a terrible job of being a decent god...

I hope this sequel doesn't come out 6 months from now. That was a great video

This video is great! I really hope this turns into a series!

sup, my subjects. having fun in the kenoma?

Whaddup with lion-head-sunshine-worm... why he just can not be happy... he has such a huge appartment

This is the most fun gnosticism creation myth video I've ever watched. Hats off to you sir

This is just so weird. It’s like the complete opposite of Christianity. God is an evil interdimensional being and every evil being that temps humanity are actually the good guys. this is the perfect heresy. It’s so heretical that nothing can be more heretical than this.

I can explain why this is wrong in one sentence; The Gnostic faith paints Samael/Yaboleth as the hero/victim, which is what any narcissist will do so they can trap you.

Jaldebetum is my favourite character in this story

Wait, Michael and Raphael were two of the four sent to earth to fight? Can we change the names of the other two to Leonardo and Donatello?

for those curious about the history of the biblical god esoterica does an AMAZING job breaking down how a polytheistic pantheonic council was eventually transformed into the “singular” god in the old testament. but that being said a warlord was the original form of yahweh. but if you’re interested in Gnosticism first check out the gospels, unfortunately they directly contradict eachother, and for those speaking of equality let’s not forget the gnostic gospel of thomas where jesus says woman have to become men to enter heaven.

I really enjoyed this, I never really understood wtf all the gnostic texts were talking about and this made it fun to watch and understandble, thanks

Damn, i like this version more than the canon

Get me out of Prison Planet!

Two things need to be noted. "Gnostic" is a term coined in 17th. Adherents considered themselves Christians, and gnosticism was typically taught as an "inner school" of Christianity, something for a select few and not regular members. There were MANY schools of gnostic thought, each with their own number of aeons, their names for the demiurge, their own philosophy on the nature of sin and salvation, and their own take on how Logos and Sophia conspired to restore the divine sparks trapped in the material world, and so on. It was NOT as monolithic as the video makes it out to be.

I'm not a gnostic by any stretch but it's a compelling explanation between the God of the old testament and what Jesus preached It's uncanny when Christians try to say there's no contradiction there, and talk about God wiping out an entire city of people, or flooding the earth to kill everyone except one family, as being totally consistent with loving God that believes in compassion and forgiveness as prime virtues. I mean, they definitely *can* explain it, but their explanations are really weird and smell of rationalisation.

Please do more of bible's books with the gnostic perspective

Genshin and Honkai lore but Pleroma is called the imaginary tree and kenoma is the sea of quanta

Dude, please, release a second part. This is equally fun and educational.

This is awesome. I've been researching the Gnostic myths per the Nag Hammadi Library and other sources for a project myself. It's a big picture that is tricky to follow at times, so I found your 'simple' approach refreshing and helpful. Looking forward to more. Cheers.

crazy how a perfect god would have an imperfect myth surrounding it

This was just fantastic. Yaldabaoth being motivated by the "wouldn't it be funny if" principle is an entirely accurate and hilarious observation. Gnosticism has been the only Abrahamic mythology that's ever made any kind of sense to me because of how much effort was put into fitting the existing Tanakh into the perspective of the kind of new agey hippy spiritualist that Jesus is usually interpreted/depicted as. History's winners in this case just ignored all the massive plot holes, but Gnostics actually did the work and expanded the lore to have everything make sense to people who like, y'know, aren't morally reprehensible. It's always been fascinating to me, but it's of course dense and there is no canon and it's way more concerned with spirituality than myth making and narrative so it can be hard to parse. This animation really, REALLY does a great job putting all of that together in a really fun way. I really hope you do more of this, in particular I'm looking forward to the Gospel of Judas.

As stupid as this is, this completely fixes alot of "plot-holes" in hebrew/christian religions

This is a much more compelling version of Genesis than I’d ever heard.

Claiming Gnostics are Christian in anyway is hilarious to me

Weirdly this is the first time religion has made sense to me…

I'm a Gnostic Priest and I discuss Gnosticism. I live and breath Gnostic Christianity. I also subbed to your channel. I can share more with you if you would like

Given that Yaldabaoth was able to create an entire universe without the help of the Aeons, they should've just taken him on as a consultant or something

Hey bro I love your videos and I want to know more about Gnosticism, even though I'm a Catholic I still like to learn about other faiths and Christian branches. These videos are very interesting, I love them, keep it up.

modern day christians have a great propaga *ahem* I meant public relations team. on an awesome note, this interpretation of the various gnostic texts was downright entertaining and the artwork is just magnificent. you def have my sub.

ngl this version of bible actually makes sense

"a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors"

Incredible video. Really makes you think.

this is the most fascinating take on religion I've ever seen, and i cant believe it was written so long ago this is GENIOUS, it makes too much sense, best fanfic ever and I love how they explain Yaldabaoth, it feels so authentic please tell me more, you got a new sub to help you escape Yaldabaoth

oh, yaldabaoth you wiseacre, you!

This was a delight to watch, please make more dude I love gmostic lore

This is basicly elden ring lore

"these texts mix everything from previous cultures... yes it must be the real thing"

Ah yes , those heretics are back

Please continue. I’m filling in the gaps

big up but you should mention it varies between """gnostic""" religion. Sethian, manichaeist and mandaeist all have different versions of the creation myth

This is wild, I love it. More please!

That explains why the people chosen by Yaldabaoth is acting so evil towards the Palestinian

In 'Researches into the Phenomenology of the Self', C. G. Jung writes "According to Irenaeus, the Gnostics held that Sophia represents the world of the Ogdoad, which is a double quaternity. In the form of a dove, she descended into the water and begot Saturn , who is identical with Yahweh." Yaldabaoth did not create the universe, but only 'planets' in our solar system.

This makes a lot of sense tbh

Love how the gnostics whole point of view can be boiled down to “God is evil he made me this way” it just screams resentment to a disgusting

This is good! Can you do the whole Old Testament? 😁☺️

If Gnosticism is true, why is the evil god letting us learn about the truth on RU-vid

Finally i’ve been waiting for you to upload

wow this was so enjoyable ! please do a second part !

When will gnostic exodus come out

Bible DLC is crazy. Glad I didn’t sleep on it

I think I’ll just believe Jesus. Thanks though.

Yaldaboath is the Orion Nebula. Depicted time and time again throughout the ancient world and even in the medieval cathedrals in Europe.

Where did they get Plemora and Kemora from

Great video, but I’m curious. Is this going to become an actual series? Id love to see more!

The story of Jacob and Esau is the main reason why I think the gnostic story makes much more sense. Jacob is a horrible person, a liar and a cheat. And is rewarded for it.

Dude, this video is both hilarious and interesting, I have just one little footnote: you should use a de-esser on your voice, those hard S sounds were just killing me. Other than that great video!
