Yahweh as Demiurge and Christ as Serpent - Gnosticism
“[A]ccording to the old tradition, the creator of the world, the Demiurgos, was a blind demon who thought he had made human beings as unconscious as possible in order that they should not see the imperfection. But the god of the spiritual world was quite different, he never made material creations because that was beneath his dignity, only demons could work with dirt, and he saw the misery of those blind human beings, and sent his son in the form of the serpent in paradise to tell them they ought to change, they ought to eat the forbidden fruit in order to become conscious and see the difference between good and bad – knowing good and evil, as the text says. So, the son of God made his first appearance on earth in the form of the snake in paradise, giving good advice to the first parents.” - Carl Jung, Visions Seminar, Vol. 2 (6 December 1933)
For certain Gnostics then, the serpent is equated with Christ, a positive messenger from God bringing illumination to man.
