I think the title of this parable is pretty descriptive of the Gnostic take on why Jesus Christ truly came to earth.
The clip focuses on this theme, but I suggest to watch the full video on youtube to get the entire context. Morgue does a good job, IMO, explaining the flexibility of the Gnostic characters & genders and what they represent, and why Christ came to earth.
Symbolism aside, in the first century, I do believe a dynamic Gnostic teacher inspired a “spiritual-Gnosis-liberty” movement, which the full truth about this movement has been suppressed and repressed and corrupted over time. The modern version of this movement is more about simply believing a comic book version of the death & resurrection of Superman.
