What is the Gospel of Thomas?
The Gospel of Thomas, which is not included in the Bible, is a book that doesn’t go with the other books of the Bible, particularly the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It brings with it a different message, and although it may sound like a legitimate piece of Biblical literature, curious minds will find that it really doesn’t deserve a place in the Bible.
It is basically a collection of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus and while some sayings may sound Biblically correct, like the 54th saying, “Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of heaven” (similar to Luke 6:20), other sayings make no sense at all. Case in point: saying number 7, which says:
“Blessed is the lion which the man shall eat, and the lion become man; and cursed is the man whom the lion shall eat, and the lion become man.”
No point at all
This so-called “Gospel” doesn’t point to Christ as the Messiah, doesn’t teach the way of salvation, doesn’t have a narrative, doesn’t record the Crucifixion, and will even teach people things contrary to God’s word.
saying number 7, which says:
“Blessed is the lion which the man shall eat, and the lion become man; and cursed is the man whom the lion shall eat, and the lion become man.”
