CRAZY, DELUSIONAL GERMAN BELIEFS

CHAPTER 4

MYTHS OF CREATION

So far, we have understood that according to German beliefs, the God of the Old Testament of the Bible is not the true all-powerful God. He is an inferior deity who created this material world as a place of entrapment for sparks of divinity that they captured, to be placed within human bodies. He is not the God who is to be worshipped above all. In fact, he should be avoided.

We have also learnt who Jesus is according to some Gnostics who were Christians. He is the aeon who brought the secret knowledge necessary for salvation to them. He did not bring that secret knowledge to all Christians, but only to a select few. In the discovered Gospel of Judas, the one who received the secret knowledge from Jesus is Judas and not the other eleven disciples. [Now isn’t that strange that Jesus would bring the secret knowledge to another Jew, which Judas Iscariot was, and not to a German. Clearly, other non-canonized gospels like the Gospel of Judas were Satan’s attempts to lead Christians astray from the truth of the bible from very early in Christianity.] Then there were other Gnostics who were not Christians. For them, those who opposed the God of the Bible, men like Cain and those of Sodom and Gomorrah, Korah and those with him who rebelled against Moses and Aaron and Judas Iscariot were true heroes who disobeyed the commandments of the God of the Old Testament. I assume that the aeon who brought the secret knowledge to the Gnostics other than Judas was Satan as they lived before Jesus.

To get a deeper understanding of the Gnostic, hence German beliefs, we should understand their beliefs about creation. AGAIN, ALL GNOSTICS DON’T AGREE ON ONE VERSION OF CREATION. I AM QUOTING MAINLY FROM BART EHRMAN’S TWO BOOKS. YOU WILL NOTICE, AS HE READILY ADMITS, THE CREATION MYTHS ARE BAFFLING. THEY MAKE VERY LITTLE SENSE. VARIOUS ACCOUNTS DIFFER FROM ONE ANOTHER AND ARE INCONSISTENT. THAT WILL BE EVIDENT AS I QUOTE DIFFERENT PASSAGES FROM HIS BOOKS. Just as the author is unable to weave them into a coherent narrative in his books, it has been difficult for me to arrange all the creation myths in a coherent manner.

This is how some of the myths according to Ehrman, describe the creation, beginning on page 93 of his book the “The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot”:

“Before there was a beginning, there was only the one true spiritual God who has never been known – even by the angels – and who is in fact beyond knowing, the Great Invisible Spirit from whom all else ultimately derives. [This is the one Supreme God, which is a counterfeit of God the Father in the Bible].

“Within the vast realm of this originating divine being, a “luminous cloud” appears. This is the invisible God’s self-manifestation, in which other beings will appear. The Great Spirit says, “Let an angel come into being as my attendant” (Irenaeus’s Heresies, 47:16-18). An angel appears, who is called the Self-Generated (literally the name is Autogenes). [This is obviously a counterfeit of Logos of the Bible who came to earth as Jesus Christ.] He is self-generated because he is an offshoot of the Great Spirit, WHO HAS USED NOTHING IN ORDER TO MAKE HIM COME INTO BEING [Emphasis added because other myths introduce a Mother named Barbelo which shows the inconsistencies in the myths] except his own will and command. There then appear four other angels to serve as the attendants to the Self-Generated.

“Then the Self-Generated begins his own act of creation. He creates four great aeons, each of whom is given a luminary (“great light”) to rule over him, along with countless thousands of angels – “myriads without number” – to serve them.”

Don’t you find it strange that aeons are first created, then the luminaries to rule over the aeons. Then aeons seem to be doing all the work with the Gnostic accounts showing the luminaries playing no active role.

Ehrman continues: “We are then told that in the original luminous cloud – that is, the self-manifestation of the Great Invisible Spirit – there appears a being called Adamas. (You will see that the name of this being resembles that of Adam, the first man, who is yet to be created.) This Adamas is the divine counterpart for the first human, after whose image humans are ultimately to be created. [p.94 of “The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot”].

We are not told where Adamas fits in the creation, what he does, except that humans will be made in his image.

“But first there are creations of other divine beings, including the “incorruptible [generation] of Seth” (49:5-6) [these citation numbers are from Irenaeus’s “Against Heresies”]. This represents a group of spiritual beings who will eventually make an appearance on earth, only to escape their entrapment in matter to return to this heavenly home where they originated. [How ridiculous can this narrative get. According to other myths, the incorruptible generation, apparently the Germans, are supposed to be divine sparks captured by Saklas (introduced later) and entrapped in human bodies. But in this account, they, the “Incorruptible generation of Seth,” are already divine beings, created much earlier than Saklas, hence greater than the fool Saklas, but Saklas is able to entrap them in human bodies. That’s how these myths are inconsistent and ridiculous.]

“At this point the narration gets even more confusing and a bit numerical. Twelve aeons are created, along with six luminaries (shining beings like stars) for each of them; each of these seventy-two luminaries has a heaven, so there are seventy-two heavens. They also each have five “firmaments,” so altogether there are 360 firmaments. These numbers are not accidental, of course. The text does not explain them, but they appear to be astronomical references: there are twelve months of the year and twelve signs of the zodiac; in Egyptian lore there are seventy-two “pentads” (stars) that reside over the days of the week, and so seventy-two luminaries; and there are 360 degrees in the zodiac (and 360 days in some calendars of the year) and so 360 firmaments.

“Altogether, all of these divine creations make up the cosmos, or universe. We are told that the cosmos is “perdition” (50:14) – the word used could also be translated as “corruption.” This is because it is the realm, ultimately outside the luminous cloud representing the realm of God, in which our world will appear, a realm of destruction or corruption. [Obviously this myth calling the material universe the realm of corruption was added after Noah’s Flood because God “destroyed” the earth in the Flood– Genesis 6:13 – which is the reason for catastrophes such as the cyclones, tornadoes, earthquakes etc. after the Flood, but did not occur before the Flood.]

Confusing is the right word for this part of the creation narrative, and ridiculous, if I may add. Later we will see that other beings create the material universe. In this narrative, however, we are not told who created these apparently lower-level aeons and luminaries and these heavens and firmaments in the cosmos called “corruption.” This account of the universe or cosmos seems to indicate that this cosmos is different from the one another being called Yaldabaoth will create. This cosmos, though created outside the luminous cloud, meaning the divine realm, was, nevertheless, seems to have been created by those living within the divine realm whereas Yaldabaoth creates another universe outside the divine realm. The question then is, if material is corruption as the Gnostics believe, then why would those within the divine realm want to create a universe which is corruption.

“From this baffling description of the creation of the divine realm...” Ehrman writes how Jesus describes further creation of the world and humans to Judas, to whom He is imparting the secret knowledge necessary for salvation. He writes: “Jesus moves to an almost equally baffling description of the creation of the world and humans. In this realm of corruption, the first human appears. This is not Adam but a heavenly image of what will be the first man on earth [apparently Adamas]. Before this earthling appears, we need the creation of our world, the world below, and so the account now introduces a new divine being called El. As students of the Bible know, El is one of the names of God in the Old Testament. Here El is said to have created twelve angels to rule over the realm of chaos and the underworld.”

In all these creation narratives, there is no explanation on how Adamas, El, or the other divine beings appear. No explanation on whether they were created, and by whom. They just appear. Much like the Satan-inspired hoax through the Germans and German masqueraders like Charles Darwin called the Theory of Evolution. Living creatures suddenly appear and start evolving by themselves.

Ehrman continues: “Then finally, there appear the divine beings who will create the world. First there is Nebro, a divinity “whose face flashed with fire and whose appearance was defiled with blood” (51:8-11) and whose name means “rebel”; he is also called Yaldabaoth, a name familiar from a number of other Gnostic texts that describe him as the maker, or “demiurge” – that is, the creator of our heavens and earth. [Yaldabaoth is supposed to be a spirit being. Then how come his appearance is defiled with blood, a material substance? Again, shows how inconsistent and ridiculous these myths are.] Yaldabaoth has a number of angelic assistants, including one named Saklas, a word that means “fool” in the Aramaic tongue. Yaldabaoth’s assistants, with Saklas at their head, produce twelve angels to rule the heavens and five to rule the underworld. [No explanation of what this underworld is].

“And then Saklas, the fool, is the one who says to his angels, “Let us create a human being after the likeness and after the image” (52:16-17). So, they form Adam and Eve, and tell Adam, “You shall live long.”

“Even though the details of this complex myth are almost impenetrable in places, the overall point is clear. This world was not created by the one true God. Not even close. The divine beings responsible for creation are far removed from the ultimate realm of divinity. The god of the Old Testament, El, is nowhere near the top of the divine hierarchy; this world was created by a wrathful, bloodthirsty rebel [Yaldabaoth], and humans were created by a fool [Saklas, Yaldabaoth’s assistant].”

This is from the discovered “Gospel of Judas” [I use the term “discovered Gospel of Judas” to refer to the texts discovered which are the subject of the book “The Gospel of Judas” by Kasser, Meyer, Wurst and Ehrman] in which Judas is the hero and his act of facilitating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is a heroic act to release Jesus from his physical body to go to the ultimate divine realm, called “Pleroma,” where the Supreme spirit dwells with Autogenes and the other aeons created by him.

In one of the myths, Ehrman had mentioned that a cosmic catastrophe occurred in which one of the aeons somehow fell from the divine realm, or Pleroma, leading to the creation of other divine beings who therefore came into existence outside of the divine sphere. These later divine beings created our material world. Again, Ehrman calls all these myths of creation “baffling” as it’s difficult to reconcile all of them to form a coherent narrative. In contrast, the Bible creation narrative is simple and straightforward with God the Father and Logos being the creators of everything in the universe, both spirit beings known as angels and the material universe.

So far according to these myths, we have learnt that El the God of the Old Testament is nowhere near the top of the divine hierarchy and that he created twelve angels. It is not stated whether El created other divine beings who created the material world and human beings. The other divine beings who created the material world just appear. According to the Gnostics who called themselves Christians, Jesus was the aeon from the Pleroma who brought the knowledge of salvation to those who had the divine spark in then. But we have not learnt who Satan or Lucifer is according to these myths.

Other myths tell the story of the creation of our material world a little differently and tell us that Lucifer, apparently an aeon, or divine one, rebelled against Yaldabaoth. According to this version “The Demiurge, “Yaldabaoth” was created by Sophia (the embodiment of Wisdom). Sophia is the daughter of Pistis Sophia (Truth Wisdom) and her mate, who chose to produce a child without the contribution of her own mate. As a result, Yaldabaoth the Demiurge was formed imperfectly. Sophia was ashamed of what she had created, so she cast Yaldabaoth way out into “space, for lack of a better word,” hoping to keep her shame hidden.

Yaldabaoth created the heavens and the earth and his assistant Saklas, the fool, created human beings.

Yaldabaoth falsely thought himself to be the Creator/Source. It is Yaldabaoth who created fear, hatred and evil. And it is the Demiurge Yaldabaoth who Lucifer rebelled against, NOT the Original Creator, the Supreme Spirit. Lucifer challenged Yaldabaoth because he knew that Yaldabaoth was not who he claimed to be. The Demiurge is also the author of the Ten Commandments and was in charge during the “Old Testament” days. The Demiurge punishes as he is not whole and complete. The Original Creator/Source never punishes and doesn’t demand anything from us. Yaldabaoth demanded to be worshipped.

In this myth, Satan or Lucifer is described as a good divine being who opposes Yaldabaoth, the rebel. That’s why he tells his followers to not follow the Bible or obey the ten commandments, or any other statutes and judgments in the Bible, because they are restrictions placed on humans by a rebel. Lucifer is the good being, apparently an aeon though that is not made clear in any of the myths, who guides humans with the divine spark in them to the truth about creation, their true home in the spiritual realm, the Pleroma, and how they can escape their material body and join the ultimate divine being in the Pleroma.

Another inconsistency in these tales is that Yaldabaoth is called the “rebel.” Whom did he rebel against? Did he rebel against the Supreme spirit? Apparently not, because he supposedly knows nothing about the existence of the divine realm. One can point out many such inconsistencies and lack of detail in the explanations of events and places in these accounts.

Ehrman explains on page 95 of “The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot” why it is difficult to convince “Orthodox Christians” about the errors of their view of creation in the bible: “this world was created by a wrathful, bloodthirsty rebel, and humans were created by a fool. Those who follow the “orthodox” Christian tradition of creation are so far wrong in what they think about this god of the Bible that it is hard even to know where to start in explaining this error. They are hopelessly lost. Only those who receive this “secret revelation” will come to realize how we came to be here, who Jesus really is, and how we can return to our heavenly home. Only those who receive this secret knowledge will be able to escape this physical realm and go to the heavenly home.”

The difference between human beings also has to be explained. In the book, Ehrman explains it this way: There are two sorts of humans. On one hand, there are those with spirits that eventually die, who have been granted only a brief existence. This spirit is given to them as a loan, so that they might offer service. On the other hand, there are those who will live on, that they have been given a spirit and an eternal soul. To better understand these concepts, we must understand that a “true” human being has three components. There is the body, which is the material part; there is the spirit, which is what animates the body and gives it life; and there is the soul, which lives on once the human spirit has departed, causing the body to die. Some people have spirits “so that they might offer service” – in other words, these can worship their creator god -Yaldabaoth - in the time they have to live. Others have both “the spirit and the soul” – in other words, these have the divine spark within them, meaning the soul, who will live forever once the spirit departs and the body dies. Those who don’t have the divine spark in them, the eternal soul, have been created to worship their god, the rebel Yaldabaoth, and also to better serve those who have the divine spark or the eternal soul in them, meaning the Germans.

This is pure and simple information plagiarized from 1 Corinthians 2:11-14, explained by Herbert W. Armstrong, through whom God founded the modern era of His Church, that there is a spirit in man which he called the “human spirit” that imparts human intellect to man making humans superior to animals. Then on repentance and baptism, humans are given the “holy spirit” which combined with the human spirit enabling them to discern and understand spiritual things of God.

I Corinthians 2:11-14 state: “11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man [human spirit] which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God [the holy spirit]. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit [holy spirit] which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches: comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God [holy spirit]: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned [meaning only with the help of the holy spirit].”

On p. 100 of his commentary in “The Lost Gospel of Judas”. Ehrman writes: “A good portion of the surviving gospel [“Gospel of Judas”] contains the secret revelation that Jesus delivers to Judas alone...

“Saklas, the fool, is said to be the one who creates humans “after the [his own?] image,” [in other myths, humans are created after the image of Adamas, a divine being who first appeared on earth] which leads Judas to question: Is it possible for humans to transcend life in this world?...the answer is a qualified yes. Some humans have an element of the divine within. They will survive to transcend this world, to enter into the divine realm far above the bloodthirsty, foolish creator gods.

“Judas himself is the first to do so...[meaning transcend life in this world]

“It leads to his proper understanding of all that Jesus has taught him. Salvation does not come by worshipping the God of this world or accepting his creation. It comes by denying this world and rejecting the body that binds us to it. That is the ultimate reason why the deed that Judas performs for Jesus is a righteous act, one that earns him the right to surpass all the other [meaning the other eleven disciples]. By handing Jesus over to the authorities, Judas allows Jesus to escape his own mortal flesh to return to his eternal home. We have already seen Jesus say, “You will exceed all of them [the other disciples]. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me.”

What an incredible cunningly devised tale to twist biblical truth.

On p. 106 of his commentary in “The Gospel of Judas” Ehrman writes: “When the disciples worship “their God,” it is the rebel and the fool they worship, the makers of this bloody, senseless material existence. They do not worship the true God, the one who is above all else, who is all-knowing, all-powerful, entirely spirit, and completely removed from this transient world of pain and suffering created by a rebel and a fool.”

We should be able to see through the deception Satan is trying to palm off to humans, which is, this material world is purposeless and there is no real purpose in living human life. Therefore, live for your own pleasure.

I also want to point out the hierarchy Satan has created among the Germans. Around 2000-2001, Satan asked all the German masqueraders in the USA to murder their non-masquerader spouses and their children as the children were no longer “pure” German. Satan’s order was carried out, but the murder attempts were not successful because I had anticipated such an event and prayed to God to intervene. God intervened to prevent any murder attempt from succeeding at that time, thus preventing a genocide.

Thus, Satan has implanted the idea among German masqueraders that only they and their children of “pure” German blood have the divine spark in them. If born of non-German spouses, the children don’t have the divine spark in them. That’s why they were ordered to be murdered. But that’s not what he has told children of mixed German ancestry. He has told them that they do have the divine spark in them if one parent is German so that they can remain supporters of the Germans. But in war, they will be used as “cannon fodder” under the command of “pure blooded” Germans.

At the same time, in Germany Satan has been directing the blond haired and blue-eyed Germans to push out the Germans with dark hair and dark eyes out of Germany to other countries in Europe or North America because he seems to have palmed off the idea to them that only those with blond hair and blue or light-colored eyes have the divine spark in them.

Satan also seems to have told the Germans that all the German masqueraders in the rest of the world are “dispensables” as per Sun Tzu’s book “The Art of War” to be made use of by the Germans to achieve their goal of conquering and ruling the world. But that’s not what German masqueraders in other countries have been told. They have been told that they are Germans with the divine spark in them. That’s why they obeyed everything that Germans in Germany told them till recently and do everything possible to benefit Germans and Germany. Such is the treacherous nature of Satan and the Germans.

What a toxic witch’s brew that Satan and his demons have brewed.

Recently there has been a change in the attitude of German masqueraders in the USA, most likely because of my pointing out Satan’s hierarchy to them which they realized is true. Now instead of doing all the work to conquer the world and handing it over to the Germans to rule and become subservient to them, they have decided to rule the world themselves in collaboration with Germany, but not under Germany. President Trump is now their chosen head.
