The Gospel of Thomas formed part of a collection of Gnostic (Gnosis, Gk. Knowing, act of knowing) Coptic Texts discovered in 1945 near Nag Hammadi in Egypt. Although The Gospel of Thomas is not included as part of the New Testament it is regarded by some as the 'Fifth Gospel.' Unusually, as compared with the four canonical gospels, Thomas is not a narrative account of the life of Jesus, but a collection of short dialogues and sayings, 114 in total, that are attributed to Jesus. It is considered by most scholars to contain some of the earliest known recorded sayings of Jesus and is one of the most controversial, enigmatic and studied of Gospels and was used as the basis for the feature film 'Stigmata.'

There are many translations of the Gospels and no two read alike. This disturbs many Christians since they believe that their salvation depends upon the correct interpretation of the truth and want to know which is the most reliable translation that has the least bias.

As a result many translations can be discounted. However, in reference to the Gospel of Thomas, it should be recognised that Coptic words do not have a direct correspondence with English words in terms of their meaning nor the same sentence structure nor style. Therefore, bias does not necessarily enter into it and as such there is room for legitimate variation in translation, provided that each translation is truthful. However it is crucially important that the translation is as accurately meaningful to the source text as is possible and accomplished by an acknowledged scholar in their field of expertise.

As a neutral investigator and the presenter I have diligently sought 'truth in translation' by selecting what is, in my opinion, one of the the most reliable and accurate, yet individually distinctive translation of the Coptic Gospel of Thomas by Nicholas Perrin, an internationally recognised expert in the study and translation of ancient texts. This translation can also be found in his book:

Perrin (2002) -- Nicholas Perrin, Thomas and Tatian, the Relationship between the Gospel of Thomas and the Diatessaron.

Especial thanks to Nicholas for allowing the use of his most respected translation and to the pioneers Qmorphic for providing their technology and enabling resources for this new type of presentation and Apple for this new platform with which to learn and enjoy. Wonderful!

This was a great video...I'm grateful to have found it. I will be back frequently, and share it, as well. I just noticed that one of the actors asking questions to Jesus towards the end of this presentation is the same actor who plays Jesus in the most recent of recreation of the gospels.... I believe his name is Salva Rasalingham. Also a great series of works worth pursuing, as are The Imitation of Christ and The readings of the Gospels by David Suchet, both of which can be found on YouTube.

We are blessed that all has been revealed as the Lord said it would be revealed unto us. The most striking and profound message for me was how he explains riches... I understand that we shouldn't worry about being well off on earth. Here I was worried that at my age of 48 I have nothing to show for. Worried that I didn't make enough money. That I don't have the big house or the nice pension... No, I have much more than that now, I have reached self-actualization. "When one finds himself then one is much greater than the world."Power, fame, glory, money is meaningless. Peace within and Christ is the true fulfillment. Nothing else matters. It should never be about the money. Don't let it blind you. Live your life in thanks, the rest will follow. To all who are rich, be wise to share it to those that are in desperate need of... And give with your heart, and do not seek praise or feel glorified by it, but instead give gladness and thanks that you had been given the blessing to offer it.

"If Two make peace in this one house, they will say move to the mountain and it would move"..He meant if your soul or inner man unites with the body in peace, you would do the impossible! Whoever has a spiritual gift/spiritual will understand as I do!

It seems Holy Bro Jesus Yeshua is using Zen Koans as well as Parables in this Eastern flavored Gospel of Thomas who went East to India Amen ... Namaste ... Hallelujah...!!!

There were trials and many tribulations that I went through,  this video gave me hope,  restoration, and peace.

[yvette]

It took me years of reading many sacred scripts, and unedited bible to understand exactly the message. Once I found the answer I delighted by the truth and fell in love with messiah .

[PeterPanagore]

Truth. Jesus through the Gospel of Thomas speaks directly to my Near Death Experience both of Heaven and earth.
