Demiurge: The Evil God of Gnosticism not the Bible

 Gnosticism Breakdown of God


The Breakdown

All right, so what is the Gnostic belief on God? Okay, what do they think, or what do they say about God? In Gnosticism, God is an evil god that hates humanity, called the Demiurge, and is seen as a fool because he thinks he is the only true God. But there are many gods. Many Gnostics believe Satan and the Christian God are the same entity. In Gnosticism, the Trinity is God, the Father, is the highest God. However, it's not the Demiurge. So, in Gnosticism, God the Father, God the Mother, and God the Son. So whenever you hear teachings that say something like God the mother, or the mother goddess, or whatever, stuff like that, you know right off the bat, that's Gnostic. That's not Christian.
An example of this is Mormonism. Mormonism teaches us that we have a heavenly mother.

Summary and Conclusion


The discussion on Gnostic beliefs about God revealed that Gnostics view the Demiurge as an evil, foolish god who believes he is the sole true God. They often equate Satan and the Christian God, viewing them as the same entity. Gnosticism includes a Trinity with God the Father, God the Mother, and God the Son, which is distinct from Christian teachings. The Demiurge is described as the personification of matter, responsible for creating the world and giving birth to the seven planetary spirits. The conversation also highlighted the inconsistency and confusion within Gnostic doctrines regarding Satan's role.
