Evidence Showing The Gospel According To Thomas Is an Authentic Sayings Book, Part I

Editor's clarifications on January 8, 2019 : I updated the statistical argument used in Part I D.


 Note: I will leave these clarification up for a week or so and then take them down.



I. Greek papyri of Thomas found by British explorers Grenfell and Hunt in 1897 and 1903.

A. Collectively, 21 sayings match up with the Coptic text found in 1945: Prologue, 1-7, 24, 26-33, 36-39, and 77.




B. All 21 sayings in the Greek texts match up with the Coptic text.

C. Scholars have given a terminus ante quem of the Greek texts to be 140 A.D.

 Source: The Gospel According To Thomas, by A. Guillaumont, et al, 1959, Brill, Page vi. See: The Gospel According to Thomas: Coptic Text Established and ...

D. The Greek sayings were part of three different texts and the probability of the Coptic text being a copy of an original Greek text is:2x [114x113x112x111x110x109x 108] + 114x 113x 112= 4.1476035e+14  or about 4.2 trillion to 1 against the order in the Coptic text being randomly chosen. Please A Statistical Argument Showing the Coptic Gospel According To Thomas Is a Word-For-Word Copy of an Original Greek Text , a post on this blog


Conclusions:

1.There existed an original copy of Thomas written in Greek written before 140 A.D.

B. It is highly probable that the Coptic text is a word-for-word copy of the Greek texts of Thomas.

 
II. Fifty of the sayings in Thomas were also recorded in Matthew and Luke. Two Examples:

A. “If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit,” saying 34 in Thomas matches up with Matthew 15:14 and Luke 6:39.

B. “The speck which is in your brother’s eye you see, but the log which is in your own eye, you do not see,” saying 26 in Thomas matches up with Matthew 7:35 and Luke 6:41-42.

III. Two-source hypothesis: Matthew and Luke used a sayings gospel “Q” (German for Quelle, meaning “Source”).

A. The gospels of Matthew and Luke used both Mark and Q as their sources.

B. Matthew and Luke have 272 verses in common which are not in Mark.

C. 640 of the 654 verses in Mark are found in both Matthew and Luke. Note: I have excluded Mark 16: 9-20 in the above count as these verses are not in the earliest manuscript.

Conclusions:

1. Q is a saying book which Matthew and Luke used to compose their gospels.

2. The Gospel According To Thomas independently have 50 sayings in common with Q.

C. Scholars agree that Q represents authentic sayings of the Pre-Resurrected Jesus.

1. Source: Q, the Earliest Gospel by John Kloppenborg: Q, the Earliest Gospel: An Introduction to the Original Stories and ...

 

IV. Using the transitive axiom in logic: If A, then B; If B, then C. Conclusion: If A, then C, we can conclude:

A: Thomas has 50 sayings in common with Q.

B. The sayings in Q are authentic sayings of Jesus.

Conclusion: At least 50 of the sayings in Thomas are authentic sayings spoken by Jesus (this is out of a total of 114 sayings).

 

V. Ancient sources from circa 200 A.D. cite The Gospel According To Thomas.

A. There are at least 12 ancient citations of Thomas included by Clement of Alexandria, Ireaneus, Origen, Tertullian, and Augustine.

B. Two Examples:

i. “He who is near me is near the fire and He who is far from me is far from the Kingdom,” saying 82 in Thomas is cited by Origen in a homily.

Ii “His disciples said to him, twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel and they all spoke about you. “ He said to them, “You have dismissed the Living One who is before you and spoken of the dead,” saying 52 in Thomas is cited by Augustine.

Conclusions:

1. Sayings which are recorded in Thomas were cited by at least 12 ancient sources, circa, 200 A.D.

2. The Gospel According To Thomas was a widely circulated saying text by 200 A.D.

3. Because all the citations by the ancient sources match up with the Coptic translation, we can conclude that it is highly probable that there was a single Greek text which the ancients were quoting.

 

Summary: We have given several lines of evidence which show that at least 50 sayings in Thomas are authentic, there is almost a certainty that the Coptic text is a word-for-word copy of a Greek copy of Thomas which was written before 140 A.D., and there are at least 12 ancient sources which cite Thomas which shows it was a widely circulated text by 200 A.D.

Readers--I will be working on a project next week. Next post due: November 13, 2018.

Dear Readers:

Thank you for your interest in eternal life. In this upcoming week I will be working on a project and thus the next post will be due November 13, 2018. God willing, I will continue the series on the core teachings of Jesus in The Gospel According To Thomas.

The Core Teachings of Jesus Leading To Eternal Life: Physical Immortality , Part II

Core Teaching # 4: Making the God Connection

 “A vine has been planted without the Father and, as it is not established, it will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed”

--Jesus, saying 40, The Gospel According To Thomas

 

Meditation: See your Spark of Divinity, your Soul, connected to the Living Father. Imagine the Light which is connected to God coming down and activating your crown chakra and then going through the center of your body, and then down to the earth. Invocation: “Father: Please let me be one with you. Please grant me your Wisdom, your Powerful Love, and your Immortal Strength. Thanks, God!”

The only way to be a Physical Immortal is to be sourced directly from the Living Father. Thus, each day the seeker will want to start his day with the Holy Vow:

“Father: I give you everything: My life, my heart, my soul, my mind, my very being. Please give me your Immortal Strength to do your will this day. Thanks, God!”

Please see a previous post on this blog, Reconnecting With God: The Holy Vow , for additional insights.

One of the key transformations which will occur as the Father’s Light flows through you is dissolving various energies which represent darkness. In saying 22 of Thomas Jesus commands us to eliminate the female self since the female energy represents evil. See a previous post,Females Are Not Worthy of Life: Commentary on Saying 114 in the Gospel of Thomas ,  for additional insights. When the female energy is activated in a male, he will be a homosexual and thus double-minded; in many cases, the female energy was activated during childhood as a result of abuse from a female such as his mother. In any case, one will ask God to dissolve the female self: “Father: Please allow your Light to dissolve the female self so that I can be one with you. Thanks, God!” The acid test for a homosexual: Is there any same-sexual attraction? Once the female energy is dissolved there will not be any.

The Father’s Light will also dissolve other dark energies such as the Ego, Superego, self-hate, abuse, implants, demons, and other evil energies. It was through this process I was able to dissolve my Ego: What Happened When I Lost My Ego: A First-Person Account (a post on this blog).

Note that if the seeker is not sourced by the Living Father, then he will be controlled by the Matrix. The Matrix is a 5^th dimensional structure which is used by aliens to control human beings in order to eat their life force. There is no free will for 99.99+% of human beings as these evil beings control the actions of humans. The only way out is to enter the light: “‘If they say to you, where did you come from’, say to them we came from the Light, the place where the Light came into being by itself’” (Jesus, saying 50, The Gospel According To Thomas). Please see core teaching # 6 below for additional insights.

 

Core Teaching # 5:  Construct an Immortal Body

“ When you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image…then you will enter the Kingdom of God” –Jesus, saying 22, The Gospel According To Thomas.


Since the core teaching of Jesus is the Kingdom of God is right here, right now on planet earth the seeker of Immortality will need to construct an Immortal Body. This quest is one of the key focus points on the Thomas Immortality Project.  Essentially, what we do is to activate the white light life force which is located in the belly region and begins just below the navel. One practice is to use an object such as a ball-point pen and activate the navel itself. This is the source of the body’s life energy called Qi or Chi in Oriental systems. Once your life force is activated, then the body will start to vibrate at a supercharged frequency. Practices such as using marijuana, consciously connected breathing, spinal column activation at the base of the spine and moving to the crown of the head, are all recommended.

An excellent text which will get one started is: Supercharging Quantum-Touch: Advanced Techniques: Alain Herriott ...

Core Teaching # 6: Activate energy centers or chakras above the head.

“We came from the Light, the place the Light came into being by itself” –Jesus, saying 50, The Gospel According To Thomas.

These transpersonal chakras or energy centers will allow one’s consciousness to be at a higher level and thus allow for the body to vibrate at a supercharged frequency. For the seeker just starting out, this will be a challenging step as staying in the Ego-controlled brain is easy; far more challenging is to enter the Light! A first step might be to take a mindfulness training course which will allow one to watch his thoughts; once it is seen that you are not creating your thoughts, but they arise from outside the brain, then you are on the way to Enlightenment. An interesting text which may be helpful for the seeker is: Quantum-Touch 2.0 - The New Human: Discovering and Becoming ...

The Core Teachings of Jesus Leading To Eternal Life: Physical Immortality , Part I

“Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me. I myself will become he and what is hidden will be revealed to him.”

---Jesus, saying 108, The Gospel According To Thomas

Overview: In this essay I review some core teachings of Jesus which will lead to eternal life: Physical Immortality as revealed in The Gospel According To Thomas.

 

Core Teaching #1: Inside your core being must be the true will to be Immortal.

“If you bring what you have within you into being, then what you have will save you. If you do not have it, then that which you do not have will kill you.”

--Jesus, saying 70, The Gospel According To Thomas

Here Jesus tells us that to be saved, then the will or motivation must already preexist. The true will for Immortality is a gift from God. Jesus chooses the elect, one out of a thousand, two out of ten thousand (saying 23, The Gospel According To Thomas). If you are interested in eternal life, Physical Immortality, then consider yourself one of the elect; now keep seeking until you find (saying 92, The Gospel According To Thomas).

Core Teaching # 2: Discover your real identity: A Spark of Divinity.

“When you come to know yourselves, then you will be known and you will know that you are the Sons of the Living Father. But if you do not know yourselves , then you exist in poverty and you are poverty.”

--Jesus, saying 3, The Gospel According To Thomas

The shift from the Ego brain to one’s center is the breakthrough Jesus was hoping his followers would make. In one’s center or core self is what you are: God Stuff. One’s core is connected to the heart and usually is where self-hate, and low self-esteem exists. Below these toxic feelings is your True Self. Opening to God’s Powerful Love is the only way to access this opening as one needs to purify his core from traumas. Once you have found your True Self, then you are ready for the next step: Being One with Jesus.

Core Teaching # 3: Develop Christ Consciousness by drinking From Jesus’ mouth.

The first step to developing Christ Consciousness is to open your heart and allow God’s Powerful Love to flow. Without love I am insane. Without love the Ego will lead me to eternal death. Be clear: Christ Consciousness means an interdimensional being exists in your core. In other words, in the upper chest region, between the heart and the throat, is where this interdimensional being exists. Once I was able to connect with Yeshua, then I felt a higher form of love. In this space I feel at peace and alert without any need to achieve anything. Because Jesus came into being after I lost my Ego, I do not know if this is a cause-and-effect relationship: Is it necessary to first shift one’s consciousness from the brain to the heart before Jesus can enter? Or by drinking from Jesus’ mouth will the heart start opening to God’s Unconditional Love? Note that the best way to drink from Jesus’ mouth is a morning devotion of 15-20 minutes in which the seeker meditates on Jesus’ sayings in The Gospel According To Thomas. To the best of my knowledge, Thomas is the only source of authentic sayings of Jesus as the Roman Catholics have committed forgery with the 27 books which became the New Testament.

Russia update: The United States has threaten military action against Russia. This past Saturday Trump announced that the United States was pulling out of an arms treaty with Russia. See: Trump says the US will pull out of Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces ... and the US ambassador to Nato announced plans for a pre-emptive strike against Russia:

The US ambassador to Nato has warned Russia that if it does not halt the development of a new cruise missile in violation of a treaty between the countries, the US will “take out” the missile.

Kay Bailey Hutchison was speaking to reporters about a longstanding issue of contention, a Russian ground-launched cruise missile which Washington says breaks the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF).

See: US Nato envoy's threat to Russia: stop developing ... - The Guardian

Russia's response: Russian state news agencies on Saturday cited a foreign ministry source as saying Washington’s move to pull out of the treaty is motivated by a dream of a single global superpower.“The main motive is a dream of a unipolar world. Will it come true? No,” a foreign ministry source told Ria Novosti state news agency.

Here we are at an inflection point in which according to my analysis this past August 28, 2018 I predicted that Russian game theorists will be considering a first-strike nuclear attack against the United States. By threatening a first-strike attack against Russia, the Trump administration is playing into the hands of Russian strategy which appears to be one in which they believe they can survive a nuclear war while the United States will quickly fall apart. In this scenario, there will be at least 50 million American killed. Please see my previous posts: a) Readers I wiil be celebrating Labor Day next week. Next post due September 11, 2018. Happy Labor Day! and b) Readers: Demand Donald Trump Be Arrested For Treason!

Females Are Not Worthy of Life: Commentary on Saying 114 in the Gospel of Thomas

Note to Readers:

This post is one of the all-time popular on the Thomas Immortality Project. It was originally posted on January 4, 2017. I am re-posting it because I want to assure any reader who may be female that there is still hope for you. In Thomas there are two cases in which females showed interest in following Jesus:

1. Salome in saying 61 has a visit to her home by Jesus. During their visit Salome declares herself a follower of Jesus.

2. Mary, who is probably either Mary Magdalene or Mary, the mother of Jesus, was to be guided by Jesus and become a Living Spirit, saying 114, The Gospel According To Thomas.

Thus, if there is any female reader who like to become a Living Spirit I invite her to contact me as “every female who becomes male may enter the Kingdom of God.”

Simon Peter said to them, “Mary should leave us for females are not worthy of life.”

Jesus said, “Look, I shall guide her to make her male, so that she too may becoming a Living Spirit similar to you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the Kingdom of God.” ---Saying 114, The Gospel of Thomas

 First, I will summarize some key points made about this passage by Uwe-Karsten Plisch in the Gospel of Thomas: Original Text With Commentary (Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 2008) on pages 243-247:   F

or link to text see: The Gospel of Thomas: Original Text with Commentary - Google Books.

 

 * The dialogue is Post-Easter (Page 244).

 This is a fundamental point that the truth seeker will need: The Gospel of Thomas was written by Jesus’ brother, Judas Thomas, by recording the living Jesus’ words (see prologue and saying 1). In other words, saying 114 was a dialogue which was was recorded after Jesus’ Resurrection. 


* Note that Saying 114 is the last saying in the Gospel of Thomas and it connects to the first saying in several ways. One clear example is the use of the term “living,” which is recorded in the prologue and in Saying 114; Living Spirit (114) and Living Jesus (Pages 244-245).

 
The concept of “living being” is encountered in Genesis 2:7: “God formed man of dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being” (emphasis mine). Later we are told the female was formed: “and the rib which God has taken from the man he made into a woman” (Genesis 2:22). 


* The unity of male and female occurs by the female being turned into a male (Pages 246-247).

 

The point here is the unity of opposites in male-female example is achieved by eliminating the female. This would follow since as Peter noted “females are not worthy of life.” So when there is only male energy there will be one self. Thus, as in Saying 22, “When you make the male and female into a single one,” all is left is the male spirit.

 

 Questions:

1. Is it possible to become an Immortal while interacting with females?

 No. Females are not a living spirit as Jesus stated. Instead females have a demonic energy about them which represents darkness. While the traditional solution to dealing with females is to spank their bare bottom  with a paddle once a week whether they need it or not, an Immortal has no time for this nonsense. Thus, if a male wishes to enter the light he will need to rid himself of darkness—females.

 

2. Can a female become Immortal?

 Yes. In Saying 114, Mary who probably is either Mary Magdalene or the mother of Jesus, will be guided by Jesus and turned into a male. So a female by herself cannot become an Immortal; however, if she submits her will to an Immortal she may become a Living Spirit.

Quick Overview of the Thomas Immortality Project

All citations are from The Gospel of Thomas: The Hidden Sayings of Jesus, by Marvin Meyer,

( HarperSanFrancisco, 1992).

1. What is the purpose of the Thomas Immortality Project?

The purpose is to open to the world the possibility of physical immortality through the reading of Jesus’ words in Thomas and to have these words vibrate at the immortal frequency. The language Jesus spoke was Aramaic. The words, translated from the Egyptian Coptic text into English, will pierce the heart of the chosen. The words themselves are transformative at an energetic level. Reading is best done aloud.

2. Before reading Thomas is there a prayer I should say?

Yes. “Yeshua: I allow your words to enter my heart so that I might be one with you. I allow your words to vibrate at the immortal frequency. Thanks, Yeshua!”

Note: Yeshua is Jesus' birth name and is what his followers call him by.

 

3. Is there a life after death?

No. “Jesus said, ‘Look to the living as long as you live, or you might die and then try to see the living one, and you will be unable to see’ ” (Saying 59). There is no indication, directly or indirectly, of an afterlife in the Thomas; instead, the chosen are encouraged to seek immortality in the present.

4. What do I need to do in order to be an immortal?

The union of opposites as outlined in saying 22 is transformative:

Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his followers, “These nursing babies are like those who enter the kingdom. They said to him, “Then shall we enter the kingdom as babies?” Jesus said to them, “When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter the Kingdom of God.”

This is a starling insight which predates the great Carl Jung, one of the towering figures in the 20^th century, whose insights into the human psyche are still being mined today. As readers who are familiar with Jungian Psychology know, the union of opposites as being transformative is one of the key insights of Jung. Yet, Jesus shares this insight 2,000 years earlier!

5. How can I raise my consciousness to Jesus’ level?

The reader is invited to study and reflect upon the following passages:

Jesus said, “If they say to you, ‘Where have you come from?’ say to them, ‘We come from the light, from the place where the light came into being by itself, established [itself], and appeared in their image.’ If they say to you, ‘Is it you?’ say, ‘We are its children, and we are the chosen of the living Father. If they ask you, ‘What is the evidence of your Father in you?’ say to them, 'it is motion and it is rest ’ ” (Saying 50).

To reach the light consciousness, the energy from outside the brain will be activated. In Yogic terms, these are the chakras above the head and from the earth itself. These may be referred to as the 8^th-13^th chakras, depending upon the model being used. In any case, if one stays in the ego brain, then it’s not possible to be immortal.

6. Should I attend church or any other religious organization?

Absolutely not! The New Testament scholar, Professor Bart D. Ehrman, has done an excellent job of demonstrating that the New Testament is a fraudulent document. Readers are invited to read his text, Lost Christianities or his college lectures via The Teaching Company, the New Testament (and others). What apparently happened is this: Saying books such as Thomas and Q were widely circulated after Jesus' resurrection. The leader of the earliest of Jesus’ followers were led by James, the brother of Jesus, who was an eyewitness to Jesus’ resurrection. Then darkness came. Paul invented what became the Catholic Church. This group claimed salvation could come only by going directly to them; they banned the reading of Jesus’ original sayings by burning all copies they could get their hands on; they invented doctrines of death—claiming that Jesus' life meant nothing—salvation could only come through the shedding of his blood; they invented the doctrines of heaven and hell; they changed God’s Holy Day from the 7^th day of the week to the first day of the week; they burned to the stake anyone who would dare challenge their teachings which originates directly from Satan. To this day, these unrepentant beings still claim to be the original followers of Jesus, when they are the followers of that which is evil.

 

7. Is there anything in the New Testament of value?

Yes. In I Corinthians 15, we have Paul’s historical record of the 500 who saw the risen Jesus. The Gospel of John comes closest to what Jesus said (obviously, the narratives are pure inventions):

You must become like a child again. You must be born from above. To enter the Kingdom of God you must be filled with the words of Jesus—which bubbles like spring water—and allow his spirit to enter you. Then you will be as I am: immortal.  (Paraphrased from John 3: 1-8).

For the most part, the New Testament is a series of invented stories and thus are of no spiritual value.  

8. If I follow the teachings of Jesus can I still take care of my family?

 No.  “Jesus said, ‘whoever does not hate his father and mother cannot be a disciple of me, and whoever does not hate brothers and sisters and bear the cross as I do will not be worthy of me' ” (Saying 55). Also, those who are merchants and buyers will not enter the Kingdom of God (Saying 64).

9. Is there some group or organization I can join?

Since I started the Thomas Immortality Project in February 2016, there is no group to turn to. The purpose of this project is to restore the original message of Jesus—physical immortality is available today—to the world. The reader is invited to email me at Safeway7354@gmail.com to share any insights.
