Which commandments do you think are superior; Yahweh’s or Gnostic Christianity’s?
You may use whatever set of commandments you think Yahweh gave. There are a number of renditions.
As for the Gnostic commandments, I offer the following.
You shall place no commandments above these unless proven to be morally superior.
Many have a problem with the 10 commandments given by Yahweh so I thought I would see if there is a consensus of thought on the Gnostic Christian ideology as compared to the Christian ideology. The main complaints I see are that Yahweh’s commandments have created a Christian ideology that denies gays and women equality. I think all souls to be created equal and thus deserving of equal human statue and citizenship.
Others as seen in these two link have their own views and I would add that I think Yahweh’s no divorce policy, --- which Jesus confirms. --- and Yahweh’s policy of accepting bribes, ransoms or sacrifices (these are all analogue) to alter his usual and moral policy punishing the guilty and not the innocent, --- to the immoral policy of punishing the innocent instead of the guilty, as exemplified by his accepting Jesus as a sacrifice to save sinners whom God himself created to be sinners.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

- You shall value all people as equal before the law. The inequality of outcome is punishment enough of itself.
- You shall live by the golden rule and respond with reciprocity of harm or care to what is done to you.
- Use Gnosis and put logic and reason and their proofs above faith, which by its nature has no proofs, logic or reason.
- You shall leave the environment in a better condition than what is given to you as an inheritance to your next generation.
- You shall not impoverish the next generation and live according to the means you produce as their labor and wealth is theirs and not yours to squander.
