The Gospel of Thomas: The Secret Gnostic Teachings of Jesus
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 дек 2023
- The Gospel of Thomas is one of the key texts concerning the teachings of Jesus Christ but is often regarded as too gnostic and radical since it has a more mystical and interior focus. Some scholars speculate that it may have been the Q source for the four Gospels, whereas others dispute that and claim it is of a later origin. In any case, it is a remarkable work.
"When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter the Kingdom". Be on guard to maintain the fire inside shine brightly. Change your ways when they are found to be the predicament and in contradiction with the fire within which is meant to shine brightly.
Perfect timing.. Thanks
Very insightful
The Gospel of Thomas was one of my favorite subject matters at Long Beach State. Another great job Dave! Thanks and Happy Holidays.
will set aside time for this today..many thanks RS
John 1:4 God's Word is the Inner Child.
John 14:10 Not about Jesus. About God.
John 14:26 Learn from God yourself.
Col. 3:9-11 God's Kingdom.
John 6:45 God's Goal.
Can’t understand half of it
Listen to this one
The funny thing is it hard to even seek out how many versions of the texts there are what is called The New Testament-considering the over 10k variants in Greek alone.
It all comes down to a self agreeing being that finds alignment with the external way; regardless of where it comes from.
Tanakh was in 24 books, but it was said that there were 100 consecutive generations of Israelite prophets-83 are named in tradition.
Skip the intro 4:13.
The Gospel of Thomas can only be understood through personal experience. It is an experiential writing. The differences are wide between Thomas and the four canonical gospels.
In Thomas anyone can enter the Kingdom. They must seek within on a deep level. But they must seek until they find. And what do they SEEK? Eternal life.
What must you have in order to live?
"He who has FOUND the body is superior to the world."
Oh, the wonder of it ALL.
Try this: In the 4 canonical gospels, do not read the narrative, just read the red letter words of Christ.
Neo-Gnosticism:
- Early writings written by apostles and/or wittnesses close to the events:
* Verdict: Not true. And/or later changed by the evil Church. Or something.
- Late writings written by anonymous writers from one to four centuries after the events unfolded, borrowing the same apostle names to their writings for credibility since these writers didn't have any cred of their own, inventing things that obviously never happened
* Verdict: Yep, we believe this. And the Church must be evil since it doesn't applaud us...
I loved what this book taught me. It was like a Rosetta stone as a collection from different places. Even the "Pharisee is like a dog in the Manger," is derived from Aesop's Fables, "The Dog in the Manger." Five trees in Paradise, (Mental space) date all the way back to the five beams in Marduk's head from Babylonian works. What an exciting find and rare combination of various sources in one collection. You can see someone was working on it.
Just about every translation of saying 70 is different from Elaine Pagels’. I wonder why?
Can anyone explain 102
I understand the mother who gave birth to Jesus Christ but who the false mother
Jesus said: Whoever does not hate his father and his mother in My way will not be able to be a disciple to me. I think the key word here is “ in My way “ if your parents were to teach you that the things against God drinking, porn, money the things of this world that blind you to who you are and where you come from, maybe is what He talking about. And whoever does not love his father and his mother “in My way “ will not be able to be a disciple to me. Maybe He is saying that the parents who teach your children of Christ teaching’s are the things to love them for. But My true Mother gave me life, I don’t know for sure but Jesus must be talking about the Holy Spirit, and notice the little things in the sayings the word Mother is in capital letter and the other ones are not, I hope this helps a little and I’m only taking a wild guess at it. I will tell you where the book belongs Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations and then the end shall come. The Gospel According to Thomas is the gospel Matthew is talking about and the book has to do with the ones who go through the book of Revelation
I'm just a youngin getting into all this but curious about people's opinion on Jesus speaking in Matthew 15:11 about "what goes into a person's mouth isn't what defiles them. It's what comes out of a person's mouth that causes that person to be spiritually unclean".
I know Jesus is important in both the Bible and Quran but I don't understand how to interpret the contradictions about haram foods
I think the point is that what really creates problems for us is what we say. We each have our own beliefs, but I don't see how our food creates any spiritual problems, unless having a big belly is a spiritual problem.
When I have the urge to say something stupid, I often think...Jesus said, “Let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil” (Matthew 5:37
Rabbi Yeshua bar yosef 🐍 is taking about the kosher food laws (pharissies)
It's important that the heart is clean vs just outer observances.
Food is deemed kosher by men. Food is deemed non-kosher by men. Food is just food. Food is neither clean nor unclean. What you eat goes through your system, nutrients are pulled and the body then eliminates the waste. Only thought (your heart/mind) can be bad. From your thoughts come your words. Nothing OUTSIDE of you has power over you. Unless you let it have power over you.
Thank you for the love. Words come from mouth. If you love Jesus your words are good if not your words are bad.

If there was such a thing as Jesus his teachings were that of gnosticism not anything the church is saying right now. And I'm not talking about the body of Christ church but the church that is spreading lies for resources and money tribute.
Look, at the end of the day...
We're not putting new wine into old wineskins.
And that's just the way it's gotta be.
First of all you don't know if that's true about male and female that's your perspective on it but let the holy spirit guide those people that hear the gospel and the truth people that put their 2 cents and and tell us what they say is not the same as the holy Spirit guiding us and you don't know if it's really male or female or if it's got something to do with the mind so don't do that
AMEN, AMUN, A MAN
Amen-Ra is where this word originates... it's Egyptian.
The Gospel of Thomas was not written by Thomas. Thomas was murdered in India circa 72 A.D. and this gnostic book of sayings was written a full century later. This is a fairy tale.
History....
We are Living in a Contruction Of Lies...
Jesus Did not Die on a Cross it was Judas

The author names are all fake. What matters in the content of the book
😮
You were there so you know
There are unknown authors in a lot of these missing books, even in some parts of the bible.
.
Yrrrrrash
Making the female male???? 😮😮
It’s a metaphor. To show that Female are not inferior to males.
Total Gnonsense.
There's nothing secret. It's fake.
The Gospel of Thomas is the gospel of devils...he died in India...in the hands of worshipers of Devi-Lucifer (Devi and Shiva) learn Hindu religion. Thomas is a chief unbeliever...
Ask me I will tell you my journey to the second heaven where many souls are bound... including those of the lukewarm believers. Firstly read what Christ said to your Thomas after ressuraction...He said even though I was with you, Thomas but you believe not!!!, blessed are those who believe in me without seeing!
Thomas is a chief unbeliever and he died in India...killed by Hindu people. I see him every given work day! Ask me...! In Revelation 21 Christ said to John...that unbelievers won't enter His Kingdom!
Or you could look at Thomas as one who was skeptical of the resurrection, but then because of his doubt, was convinced because he went from belief to knowing.
