What Bible are you reading them from as they differ quite a bit from the ones I am used to. I only got so far into what you wrote and became puzzled. They seem to follow scriptures but then are different? Is a translation I have not come across before which is why I ask. Are you sure it is a Christian Bible? It looks like they are taken from Christian Bibles from various Gospels and altered?

(Note. There is not a Gospel of Thomas in the standard Christian Bible translations. Is it from the Apocrapha?)


Sorry for the necro! It was controversial among Church Fathers, even the good one, Origen, pronounced it heterodox. Because of this it got lost to history, till the discovery of Gnostic texts at Nag Hammidi, 1945.

I would like to read what Origen said, but he was later pronounced a heretic and most of his works lost and ignored.

Not sure what a necro is.

They did not use some texts in the Bible as the Holy Spirits anointing was jot found in them. They only used the texts they knew were anointed.
