Gospel of Thomas: The Adventures of Little Jesus

[toddthedrysocket]

this is certainly not a story from "The Gospel of Thomas", which has no stories, but only sayings of Jesus.

[jacksawild]

@toddthedrysocket This is similar to a story from the "Infancy Gospel of Thomas". Jesus was a little shit in this book. He killed people, withered them and worked on the sabbath but he turned out ok in the end.

[xiro1020]

in the gospel of thomas seems, that jesus still the son of god, but in that gospel

mention his brothers, like james was healed by jesus

[heavini]

Dear martin Silver,

Jesus did not tell the kid to jump, they played and the kid felt down by himself, don't confuse people and don't tell lies about Jesus. Jesus is not a toy to play with.

Sincerly, Me...

I thing it is unacceptable that the christian leaders have removed Gospel of thomas from the bible, Gospel of thomas should have been in the bible alongside all the other Gospels, after all Thomas was a disciple of Jesus I want to know what he has to say. And why was his gospel removed and what the religious leaders want to hide from me. I want the truth all of it not just part of it. To all Christians out there seek the truth, don't just follow with closed eyes.

[ub2bn]

for accurate history of the n.t. canon, watch 'from jesus to constantine' (parts 1-4), and 'heyns lecture series: misquoting jesus'.

you can decide for yourself whether or not the canon is "inspired" and inerrant.

[SecretOfFatima]

Some books were removed by the protestants, the exact same that were remove during the Jewish cannon around the year 100, the catholic bible however date back to bettwen the year 200bc-70bc, but the G.o.T. was never part of the bible.

The G.o.T. was created by heritical christians/jews around the arabian penisula, acording to this G.o.T, Jesus did not die in the cross, you will find that much resembles the stories found Islam about Jesus.

I just love how the true and only GOD works. Peace.

Just so we're straight on this, this clip isn't something that occurs in the Gospel of Thomas. This bit is from the *Infancy* Gospel of Thomas, one of several 2nd century writings made up of speculation upon Yeshua's life from his earliest years before he started his ministry.

[Guh01]

The Gospel of Thomas is a sayings gospel, one that no actual consensus has been reached in regards to. The Coptic manuscripts feature some subtle Gnostic retouches to certain portions, bits that don't appear in the perhaps much earlier composed than thought Greek manuscripts, indicating corruption between the time of the Greek manuscripts and the Coptic.

[ub2bn]

orthodoxy and heresy are relevant terms.

[IMBUED]

It depends how you see it, he didnt die on the cross, he put himelf to death on it, but death of the flesh isn't death .

they beleive he resurrected in the flesh before he died on the cross. meaning, he resurected his immortal body, and his physical body was put to death, not the immortal body. you should read them better, if you're going to judge them so harshly.

[HelmetTube]

good show here. and this book wasn't in the bible?

really?

[ajaandrea]

it was in the bible. the gospel of thomas is the earliest manuscript we have documenting jesus' life. there were originally 30 gospels.

[Guh01]

Nope. The 'Bible' is just an anthology collecting the various works considered to be scripture.

Neither the Infancy Gospel of Thomas or the Sayings Gospel of Thomas were included in Orthodox canons (as far as I understand).

[Guh01]

I'm also not sure where you came across the '30 gospels' idea. It's currently speculated among scholars that the canonical gospels are just written recordings of oral traditions about Yeshua. The differing views between the gospels could then be understood as interpretive and theological inflections made present by the communities that the pieces were written in.

[goodacme]

This is great stuff. I hope there will be further episodes in the future.
