The Gospel of Thomas was never canonized.

(42) Jesus said,

   "Become passers-by."

        Happiness is the result of an enlightened mind whereas suffering is caused by a distorted mind.

(43) His disciples said to him,
      "Who are you to say these things to us?"



Jesus said,
"You do not realize who I am by what I say to you?
             You have become like the Jews!

       For they love the tree, and hate its fruit
       or they love the fruit, and hate the tree."

GOSPEL OF THOMAS (44) Jesus said,

   "Whoever blasphemes against the Father,
          will be forgiven.

   And whoever blasphemes against the Son,
          will be forgiven.

But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit,
          will not be forgiven,
          neither on earth nor in heaven."

A perfection in words.

No wonder I chose to be a Gnostic.

Thanks for the reminder.

Think universalist instead of the divisiveness of Christianity.

GOSPEL OF THOMAS
  VERSE 45

(45) Jesus said,


"Grapes are not harvested from thorns,
   nor are figs gathered from thistles.
            They yield no fruit.


    A good person brings forth good
           from his storehouse.
     A bad person brings forth evil
      from the corrupt storehouse
   which is in his heart, and in fact,
              says evil things.

For out of the abundance of his heart,
      he brings forth evil things."

That5 quote speaks for itself.

We all know that there are good and evil people.

Scriptures try to paint us all more evil than good but that is only to loosen the purse strings.

Con men and religious liars have to live too, and Christianity follows the con to a T.

Tim. Literalism is not the Gnostic Christian way of reading myths. Not even our own.

What is this saying talking about?

GOSPEL OF THOMAS
  VERSE 46

(46) Jesus said,

                 
              "From Adam to John the Baptist,
                 among those born of women,
there is no one who is so superior to John the Baptist
     that his eyes need not be lowered before him.


But I have also said,

      ‘Whoever among you becomes little like a child
               will know the Father’s kingdom,
            and will become greater than John.’
"
