In Judaism, God has been conceived in a variety of ways. Traditionally, Judaism holds that Yahweh—the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the national god of the Israelites—delivered them from captivity in Egypt, and gave them the 10 Commandments at Mount Sinai as described in the Torah. But in Gnostic sects like the Cathars, which became prevalent between the 12th and 14th centuries after Christ, Yahweh is viewed as the Demiurge or Satan, the creator of the material world, including man, whose sole purpose is to keep mankind enslaved from reaching their true potential in the "good" realm.
Joel pulls back the curtain on the Gnostic idea that Yahweh is an evil entity who craves blood and war with no regard for human existence. He explores the convoluted history of the Cathars who believed that there were not one, but two Gods—the good God of Heaven of the New Testament and the evil god of this age from the Old Testament. Lastly, Joel compares proof texts from the Bible itself, from the Old and New Testament, to give us an eye-opening look at Jesus's own words of who He really is.
