The Bible.

[Miss Hepburn]

Haha, try reading this and see if you feel anything, candyfloss...

Ephesians ...the whole chapter 3, it is just a page, haha....
picture the scene...Paul writing to inspire the new followers in Ephesia.
Noting that he says first thing these things have come to him through
personal revelation..
(as they may also come to us...those are my words.)
I esp love 3:14 on.

Then, you want to feel something...feel the passion of David as
he speaks to God the Father Himself in Psalm 139.
No...here..I'll copy some for you.

1 LORD, you have examined me;
you have known me.
2 You know when I rest
and when I am active.
You understand what I am thinking
when I am distant from you.
3 You scrutinize my life and my rest;
you are familiar with all of my ways.

4 Even before I have formed a word with my tongue,
you, LORD, know it completely!
5 You encircle me from back to front,
placing your hand upon me.
6 Knowledge like this is too amazing for me.
It is beyond my reach,
and I cannot fathom it.

7 Where can I flee from your spirit?
Or where will I run from your presence?
8 If I rise to heaven, there you are!
If I lay down with the dead, there you are!
9 If I take wings with the dawn
and settle down on the western horizon
10 your hand will guide me there, too,
while your right hand keeps a firm grip on me.
11 If I say, “Darkness will surely conceal me,
and the light around me will become night,”
12 even darkness isn’t dark to you,
darkness and light are the same to you.
13 It was you who formed my internal organs,
fashioning me within my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you,
because you are fearful and wondrous!
Your work is wonderful,
and I am fully aware of it.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
while I was being crafted in a hidden place,
knit together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes looked upon my embryo,
and everything was recorded in your book.
The days scheduled for my formation were inscribed,
even though not one of them had come yet.
17 How deep are your thoughts, God!
How great is their number!
18 Were I to count them,
they would number more than the sand.
When I awake, I will be with you.

[quote=candyfloss28]Is the gospel of Thomas a real gospel?[/QUOT


For me it is very real, try for yourself and see if it touches your heart, only you can decide

[Miss Hepburn]

Here's a sample of Thomas...I personally find most of it to be
unpleasantly cryptic...hard to understand.
This was straightforward, tho.

5
Jesus said, "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you
will be disclosed to you.
2
For there is nothing hidden that won't be revealed."
6
His disciples asked him and said to him, "Do you want us to fast? How
should we pray? Should we give to charity? What diet should we observe?"
2
Jesus said, "Don't lie,
3
and don't do what you hate,
4
because all things are
disclosed before heaven.
5
After all, there is nothing hidden that won't be
revealed,
6
and there is nothing covered up that will remain undisclosed.
