Mary Bible

This Gospel of Thomas, inclusive of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, was found at the Nag Hammadi site in the Egyptian desert in December of 1945 along with some other books collectively called the “Nag Hammadi Library.” These texts were very fragmented with age and in a state of advanced decay. The original parchments now rest in the Coptic Museum in Cairo. They have been thought to have been written and dated from 100-245 A.D., according to some sources. Until today these sacred texts have only been able to be partially interpreted by scholars because no complete record of these texts ...

NEWLY REVISED AND EXPANDED: Now with 29 complete texts and updated scholarship. In 1945, a farmer in Upper Egypt cracked open a sealed clay jar and found thirteen codices buried since 367 CE.

No dense scholarly apparatus. Just the words, made readable. The Gospels: The Gospel of Thomas (...

Perhaps no figure in biblical scholarship has been the subject of more controversy and debate than Mary Magdalene. Although she is discussed in the gospels of Philip, Thomas, Peter, and Bartholomew in the collection of writings known as the Gnostic gospels that were rejected by the early Christian church, there is no better insight into this mysterious and influential woman than Mary's own gospel.

Can we consecrate ourselves to Mary? Mary is not the Creator, she is not the Redeemer. She is the opposite of a Goddess; she never substituted herself for God. But it was God's will that Mary had something to do with our Christian life, with our sanctification. It is a role assigned to her by God. In perfect union with her Son and subordinate to him, the Vatican II Council calls her "our mother in the order of grace" (LG 61). Let us not forget that Mary is the prototype of perfect consecration at the beginning of the New Testament. She was chosen to help us in our consecration through her ...

If you came to Cayce for something deeper than health readings, this is it. The Christ consciousness path the Sleeping Prophet actually mapped. Edgar Cayce gave over 14,000 readings in his lifetime.

That tradition is real and worth taking seriously. Cayce was a mystic who happened to have unusual access to something most people spend their whole lives trying to reach. The readings he gave on soul development, on the nature of ...

Amazing New Testament Women What is the significance of the women mentioned in the New Testament? Many of the stories we read in the Bible, we read about the women that God used to do the work he needed done. Most of the stories are small parts that if we skip over, we don't get the real meaning of why the stories are in the Bible. The fact that these women are mentioned in the Bible should make us wonder why, and we should know that they are not in the Bible accidentally. God wanted us to read about them, and to know that they were special people in history, and important to know who they ...

What is the proper Christian attitude toward Mary, the mother of Jesus? Should Christians honor the mother of Jesus, or would such behavior conflict with the will of God? If Christians should honor Mary, why should they do so, and what form should that honor take? Does Jesus care whether Christians honor his mother? Do Christians who honor Mary receive a blessing in return? Many Christians, having never searched the Scriptures for answers to these questions, nevertheless have formed strong opinions on these matters. Wishing to promote informed interfaith dialogue, and believing that God is ...

The most theologically complex Gnostic gospel—finally made readable. The Gospel of Philip is one of the most challenging and misunderstood texts from early Christianity. Discovered among the Nag Hammadi library in 1945, it reflects a mature Gnostic Christian tradition concerned not with narrative storytelling, but with symbolic theology, sacramental practice, and spiritual transformation. Unlike other Nag Hammadi gospels such as the Gospel of Thomas, Philip preserves the only complete sacramental system to survive from Gnostic Christianity. Its dense Valentinian vocabulary and fragmentary...
