I’m doing some more research about the Jesus-Thomas twin thing, and am reading the Gospel of Thomas, which they unearthed at Nag Hammadi. It’s a Gnostic scripture with some stuff that’s in the Bible and some that’s not. I was just gonna jot down some of my favorite parts from it:

10 Jesus said, ‘I have cast fire upon the world, and look, I’m guarding it until it blazes.’

14 Jesus said to them, “If you fast, you will bring sin upon yourselves, and if you pray, you will be condemned, and if you give to charity, you will harm your spirits. When you go into any region and walk about in the countryside, when people take you in, eat what they serve you and heal the sick among them. After all, what goes into your mouth won’t defile you; what comes out of your mouth will.”

25 Jesus said, “Love your friends like your own soul, protect them like the pupil of your eye.”

39 Jesus said, “The Pharisees and the scholars have taken the keys of knowledge and have hidden them. They have not entered nor have they allowed those who want to enter to do so. As for you, be as sly as snakes and as simple as doves.”

58 Jesus said, “Congratulations to the person who has toiled and has found life.”

70 Jesus said, “If you bring forth what is within you, what you have will save you. If you do not have that within you, what you do not have within you [will] kill you.”

103 Jesus said, “Congratulations to those who know where the rebels are going to attack. [They] can get going, collect their imperial resources, and be prepared before the rebels arrive.”

108 Jesus said, “Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me; I myself shall become that person, and the hidden things will be revealed to him.”
