Wrong. Literally midwitation.

>the creator of the world must be bad because the works is full of bad
>whether of ignorance or intent, he bad
>but the creator of this bad creator is perfectly good and not bad, irregardless of intent for the demiurge to actually be bad or if of necessary oblivious causation, he is good
>OH my logic that makes one thing bad because of X doesn't make another bad in spite of X?
Oh geez oh no

The Gnostic Monad is evil for the identical reasons why the Gnostic Demiurge is evil, by proxi of accidentally creating evil of for the evil of willingly creating evil.
If it is an ignoble characteristic that the Demiurge creates the world out of ignorance why isn't it ignoble of the "Good" to created the demiurge out of (or with) ignorance?

>While the alternative is God "working" with people, throwing them a life-line hoping they will satisfy all the conditions of faith & works by their own will power....quite possibly saving very few or no one at all. No one is effectively saved in this situation, making Christs' sacrifice on the cross possibly in vain and pointless.

Man wills naturally towards God, since he wrote the Law in our heart (otherwise the virtuous pagans which Romans 2 talks about wouldn't exist), what fucking kind of Gnostic shit is this?

13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.
14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.
>15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them
16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
