De: Mark Mattison

"These are the hidden sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down." With this opening statement, the Gospel of Thomas, legendary Apostle to the East, introduces a startlingly profound list of Jesus' ancient Wisdom sayings. Similar to the collections of quotations copied by the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, Thomas' Gospel contains a hundred and fourteen sayings, half of which don't appear in the New Testament. Once known from only a handful of ancient sources, third-century Greek fragments of this Gospel first turned up at the end of the nineteenth century – but it wasn't until the middle of the twentieth that a complete Coptic manuscript was discovered. The Gospel of Thomas: A New Translation for Spiritual Seekers not only cuts through the ensuing debate, but also presents the very first public domain translation of this amazing discovery.

Explanations

I like hearing the different aspects of the gospel. Listen to it a couple more times to get as much out of it as I can.

Growth within the truth

Have a better understanding of what Jesus is saying that we should live and how we should treat one another and not dwell on what the road is saying is right or wrong but what he has told us that is right and all still got a lot to learn I’m more than searching for the truth
