The Gospel of Thomas Is one of my favorites.
It sounds a lot more like Jesus than most of the stuff in the bible.
Funny how see the light says she never read any of them yet she knows all about them.
If you used her time line theory, None of Paul's letters or revelations or the gospels of Mathew Mark Luke and John would have made it into the bible.

Yes all of those. And especially the Pistis Sophia which is the gnostic bible.
Well said Don. And it has actually been demonstrated that none of the synoptic gospels were written by the claimed authors, and also that Paul only wrote 2-3 of the books attributed to him. Furthermore, many scholars believe Thomas is actually older than anything in the NT. The NT is a false representation and corruption of the real teachings of Jesus & his consort Mary. We now have an alternative source of teaching and the NT no longer holds the monopoly.

I have a replica of the Nag Hammadi at homestead, and a separate version of the Gospel of Thomas. there's a sturdy reason this stuff were no longer blanketed and one can not say without some verification that they are the right ones and the Bible is incorrect. they supply an attractive perception into the offshoot sects of early Christianity, in spite of the undeniable fact that.

I've read a few of the Gnostic Gospels but haven't finished them. I'm trying to read "Ptolemy's Letter To Flora" but haven't gotten to it yet. They are different, to say the least.

Poorly written, inconsistent, badly preserved, interesting but of no deep faith value.

I have not read all of them. There is a reason why they are accepted in the Bible. They are not reliable sources and they are written so long after Jesus' time that they do not pass the time line.
