The Gnostic Creation Story
Who Rewrote the Bible? |
The Gnostics insisted they were in fact the original Christians and that the Roman Church leaders were imposters co-opting and changing their mythology.
Many original founders like Marcion [the creator of the first Bible] and Tatian were actually devout Gnostics who would later leave the Orthodoxy, claiming the church was “setting up the fraud of historic Christianity.”
Gnosticism continued to flourish alongside the Roman Church until it was declared heresy and outlawed by Emperor Constantine in 325 A.D.
Once the Orthodox Bible became canonized, all extra-biblical Gnostic gospels (the Apocrypha) were considered heretical and either hidden or destroyed on threat of death.
By the turn of the next century, any remaining Gnostics still openly practicing were hunted down as heretics...
- What's so special about Marcion? Marcion concluded that many of the teachings of [good, kind, merciful] Jesus were incompatible with the actions of [genocidal, jealous, angry] Yahweh (YWVH, Jehovah). He concluded this by studying the Hebrew Bible [a simplistic version of the story told in a crude language with only 8,000 original words, which was derived from the much more sophisticated Ancient Greek and its half million words, according to classicist Dr. D.A.C. Hillman], along with received writings circulating in the nascent Church. Yahweh is characterized as the belligerent god of the Hebrew Bible. Marcion responded by developing a di-theistic system of belief around the year 144 [Note 2]. This notion of two gods — a Higher Transcendent One [a kind of Brahman] and a Lower World-Creator and Ruler [a kind of Maha Brahma] — allowed Marcion to reconcile perceived contradictions between harsh Christian Covenant theology and the nicer gospel proclaimed by the New Testament.
