The Gospel of Thomas is gnostic heresy.

When I clap my hands, the nightstand light turns off.

Does that count?

Interesting but this is an old story from infancy gospels that we have heard before.

Anybody see the video(s) of the screen version of childhood Jesus? I thought they were well-done and interesting, and I’m jewish. Not sure... was it a movie? a serial?

In other news, a newly deciphered copy of the NewYorkTimes in the Beijing Museum of Propaganda revealed that Communism under Stalin, just “wasn’t as bad as some claim.”

Various “news” entities are repeating a story from 40 years ago.

The GOT find is significant as a piece of history. I doubt those who read an English translation of this find will jump on a new theology.

I remember Jesus didn’t want to take a bath and he walked on water. It’s written in I Karliner 8:14

I believe bringing the clay birds to life is an old the Gospel of Thomas story that actually ended up in one form or another in the quran.

It’s other utter bologna which is why the Gospel of Thomas is not part of canon.

There was a thread about this topic a day or two ago. This gnostic gospel may predate A.D. 180, but it is still later than Luke’s Gospel which has a story about Jesus when he was 12 years old (2.41-52).

Garbage. This is nothing more than old, rehashed apocrypha.

This “lost manuscript “ has been discovered about 20 times in the last 100 years. All of these lost gospels are bogus.

Don’t need extra info than we already have available. A person either believes Jesus is the Christ, or doesn’t believe. All sorts of other details unnecessary.

So, a book supposedly written 400 years after Christ died is accurate? Uh...No.
