The New Testament But Its Gnostic

So we come to the end of our series on the Gnostic Bible. Like the previous entries I have taken texts from what were various sects and made them into one story following the storyline in the gospels.
So the texts used are
The 4 canonical Gospels
The Mandaean Book of John
The Revelation of Dositheus
First Apocalypse of James
The Gospel of Judas
The Gospel of Mary
The Gospel of Philip (Mostly for its subtle jabs at the Trinity)
The Coptic Apocalypse of Paul
The Acts of the Apostles
And the Acts of Peter and Paul

Also a note on the characterization of the apostles. Generally most Gnostic sects viewed Peter in a negative light (usually depicting him as dumb or malevolent) and while I did try to fit some of the more positive gnostic texts about Peter in the video, I thought it would be more in line (funnier) if Peter was portrayed negatively. As for Paul and Simon Magus being the same person, it’s a theory that was first proposed by scholar FC Baur in the 19th century and has only been shown to be more likely after the discovery at Nag Hammadi, so I decided to combine the two here (unsurprisingly it fits perfectly).
Since the Gnostics did not have any texts pertaining to the ultimate fate of the apostles, I decided to use the acts of Peter and Paul as an ending, but with a twist that at first I thought was original, but as it turns out several gnostic sympathetic authors concluded was the “true” end of Peter and Simon’s magic duel, which I find interesting.

40 missed calls from the Vatican
this feels illegal to watch, is wild

[ki]

The fact that the Disciples are evil in this version is the siccest plot twist ever

[icharmprince]

Nobody:
Yaldabaoth: *Muhammad has entered the chat*

[uglyfense]

Kinda wish the Gnostics commented more on the Old Testament after Moses

[ikaiju-euwn]

wait a minute this is literally just christian buddhism

[LOL-bshg]

Yaldabaoth is literally just a troll, and the archons are gremlins.
He needs to let out his anger after being abandoned by his mother, which is a dick move, Pleroma

[ubertrashcat]

Still makes more sense than the plot of Evangelion.

For an ancient Christian fanfic, Gnosticism is too compelling for its own good.

This is a very entertaining narrative you’ve managed to put together based on the texts from all the various sects that have been clumped together as “Gnostic”. I may not agree with every interpretive conclusion you make, but I’ll be rewatching this series frequently.

Many inconsistencies and flaws in both Islam and mainstream Christianity start making sense through the gnostic view.
The other thing is also that Atheism start making sense people like Christopher Hitchens talking about the toxicity of religions come into place.

the difference between private vs personal property is clearly defined in the manifesto and a voluntary monk-like life that is not communism.

"Honey wake up Parry Megistus dropped another Gnosticism video"

Literally just told my wife 😂 At 1:13 AM

[apollomarmarinos]

Kind of doesn't make sense that Pleroma is attained by abandoning all material connections but "let's get rid of property" is seen as something incredibly stupid. But then again it is just a religion and it does have to justify it's existence in a system of actual wordly rule.

just finished the last 2 videos with friends and we were disappointed when there wasnt a video on the new testament. i refresh the page and there i see a part 3! amazing work we love your videos

[scpjack]

Also another correction - the guy who battles Peter in the Colosseum is *not* the Simon who became Paul, it’s a different guy called Simon Magus.

[compatriot]

Well now, what a coincidence that this came out right after I finished the old testament video

[charliegabs]

12:41 Were they talking about Muhammad? ☠️

Edit: Oh god, I need the continuation of this, I need to know what else happened in this the Gnostic vision. Does Yaldabaot originated Islam? What did he do exactly? Where does that part of the story continue???

[TV_da_sala]

I'm Catholic but I find these videos funny asf to watch.

[ruv]

"Yaldabaoth was free to convince the world that Jesus was part of some nonsensical triune godhead"

Meanwhile, the unnecessarily bureacratic pleroma...

(just kidding This is a fun series)

[pliskin]

People, please read up on actual gnosticism and don’t take this video at face value. It’s a fun little cartoon, but it misrepresents a lot of stuff! (And had an obvious bias, but that’s besides the point)
