Esistette veramente un Gesù 'giusto' anche secondo gli gnostici?

S: apparizione dell'uomo "giusto" (a Sodoma) e del demone, quest'ultima seguita da eventi funesti. Viene disprezzato il battesimo in acqua.

1 Altro testo sulla cosmogenesi che ci riserva almeno questa frase da paragonare ad una di Paolo:

But the winds, which are demons from water and fire and darkness and light, had intercourse unto perdition.

Efesini 2:2 nei quali un tempo viveste alla maniera di questo mondo, seguendo il principe delle potenze dell'aria, quello spirito che ora opera negli uomini ribelli.

Ma è più avanti che sono descritte due apparizioni importanti. La prima è quella di un uomo giusto:

When I have revealed to you all that has been spoken, then the righteous one will shine upon the world with my garment. And the night and the day will be separated. For I shall hasten down to the world to take the light of that place, the one which Faith possesses. And I shall appear to those who will acquire the thought of the light of the Spirit. For because of them my majesty appeared.

La comparsa di questo "uomo giusto" sembra avvenire a Sodoma, il che sconvolge la reputazione che questa città ha per i cristiani. Ma noi dobbiamo ricordare che Sodoma è la città dei “due testimoni” nel linguaggio dell'Apocalisse 383 (l’importanza di questa città verrà spiegata in altre pagine 1371:

When he will have appeared, O Shem, upon the earth, [in] the place which will be called Sodom, (then) safeguard the insight which I shall give you. For those whose heart was pure will congregate to you, because of the word which you will reveal. For when you appear in the world, dark Nature will shake against you, together with the winds and a demon, that they may destroy the insight. But you, proclaim quickly to the Sodomites your universal teaching, for they are your members. For the demon of human form will part from that place by my will, since he is ignorant. He will guard this utterance. But the Sodomites, according to the will of the Majesty, will bear witness to the universal testimony. They will rest with a pure conscience in the place of their repose, which is the unbegotten Spirit. And as these things will happen, Sodom will be burned unjustly by a base nature. For the evil will not cease in order that your majesty may reveal that place.

Dopo quanto detto avviene una seconda apparizione, ma questa volta non da parte di un "uomo giusto" ma di un demone perverso. Leggendo il passo si capisce che il riferimento è, per le caratteristiche del demone (ha molte facce, pratica un falso battesimo, ecc., 708 e gli accadimenti funesti che lo precedono (terremoti, guerre, carestie ecc., 785, proprio al "falso profeta":

Then the demon will depart with Faith. And then he will appear in the four regions of the world. And when Faith appears in the last likeness, then will her appearance become manifest. For the firstborn is the demon who appeared in the union of Nature with many faces, in order that Faith might appear in him. For when he appears in the world, evil passions will arise, and earthquakes, and wars, and famines, and blasphemies. For because of him the whole world will be disturbed. For he will seek the power of Faith and Light; he will not find it. For at that time the demon will also appear upon the river to baptize with an imperfect baptism, and to trouble the world with a bondage of water.

A questo punto purtroppo le informazioni sono piuttosto oscure:

But it is necessary for me to appear in the members of the thought of Faith to reveal the great things of my power. I shall separate it from the demon who is Soldas. And the light which he possesses from the Spirit I shall mix with my invincible garment, as well as him whom I shall reveal in the darkness for your sake and for the sake of your race which will be protected from the evil Darkness.

For when the appointed days of the demon draw near he who will baptize erringly - , then I shall appear in the baptism of the demon to reveal with the mouth of Faith a testimony to those who belong to her.

Then I shall come from the demon down to the water. And whirlpools of water and flames of fire will rise up against me.

You are blessed, Shem, for your race has been protected from the dark wind which is many-faced.

O Shem, they are deceived by manifold demons, thinking that through baptism with the uncleanness of water, that which is dark, feeble, idle, (and) disturbing, he will take away the sins. And they do not know that from the water to the water there is bondage, and error and unchastity, envy, murder, adultery, false witness, heresies, robberies, lusts, babblings, wrath, bitterness, great [...].

Blessed is the eye which has seen thee, and the mind which has supported thy majesty at my desire. It will be said by the exalted one, "Blessed is Rebouel among every race of men, for it is you (fern.) alone who have seen." And she will listen. And they will behead the woman who has the perception, whom you will reveal upon the earth.

Un'apocalisse finale (con accenti simili a quelli riscontrati nei Libri sibillini, 788 sconvolgerà il Mondo sempre a causa di un pericoloso demone, quando il "Signore" (quale?) non ci sarà più sulla Terra:

After I cease to be upon the earth and withdraw up to my rest, a great, evil error will come upon the world, and many evils in accordance with the number of the forms of Nature. Evil times will come. And when the era of Nature is approaching destruction, darkness will come upon the earth. The number will be small. And a demon will come up from the power who has a likeness of fire. He will divide the heaven, (and) he will rest in the depth of the east. For the whole world will quake. And the deceived world will be thrown into confusion. Many places will be flooded because of envy of the winds and the demons who have a name which is senseless: Phorbea, Chloerga. They are the ones who govern the world with their teaching. And they lead astray many hearts because of their disorder and their unchastity. Many places will be sprinkled with blood. And five races by themselves will eat their sons. But the regions of the south will receive the Word of the Light. But they who are from the error of the world and from the east - . A demon will come forth from (the) belly of the serpent. He was in hiding in a desolate place. He will perform many wonders. Many will loathe him. A wind will come forth from his mouth with a female likeness. Her name will be called Abalphe. He will reign over the world from the east to the west. Then Nature will have a final opportunity. And the stars will cease from the sky. The mouth of error will be opened in order that the evil Darkness may become idle and silent. And in the last day the forms of Nature will be destroyed with the winds and all their demons; they' will become a dark lump, just as they were from the beginning. And the sweet waters which were burdened by the demons will perish. For where the power of the Spirit has gone there are my sweet waters. The other works of Nature will not be manifest. They will mix with the infinite waters of darkness. And all her forms will cease from the middle region.
