[BigJohn]

The Gospel of Thomas is a Gospel that never was canonized.

The Gospel is very short - only 114 verses.

The scriptures that will be presented were paraphrased by myself.

The first posit is that of the first 3 scriptures.

. . . . . . . . . GOSPEL OF THOMAS

These are the hidden words that the living Jesus
spoke which Didymos Judas Thomas (twin) recorded.


(1) And he said:
"Whoever discovers the meaning of these words, will not taste death."

(2) Jesus said:
"seek till you find.
When you find, you will be dismayed.
When you are dismayed, you will be astonished.
When you are astonished, you will reign over all."

(3) Jesus said:
“If your leaders say to you, ‘Look the Kingdom is in the sky!”
then the birds of the sky will be there before you.
If they say to you, ‘It’s in the Sea,’
then the fish will be there before you.

Rather, the kingdom is inside of you and outside of you."

"When you get to know yourselves,
then you will be known,
and you will realize that you are the children of the living Father.

But if you do not get to know yourselves,
then you will live in poverty, and you are poverty."



Lets openly discuss what the verses say and ponder on why these texts never got canonized.
