[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 77455094, member: 293637"] My problem with the Gospel of Thomas is that it may have began as a more orthodox work, but in the form(s) it has come down to us in, it clearly demonstrates some Gnostic interpolation and adornment. It is presented as secret esoteric tearchings directly from Jesus to Thomas, who is presented as Jesus' spiritual twin, and thus was very likely intended for use in a Gnostic context even though it lacks more explicit Gnostic content. As such, it is certainly fascinating from a purely academic perspective. But its spiritual value, I'd argue, is non-existent. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
