Everyone seems to know a little bit about it they'll ask questions like why is the Gospel of Thomas not in the New Testament? Or did you know the Gospel of Thomas might be an independent source of the sayings of Jesus. But what does the Gospel of Thomas really say and why isn't it in the Bible? The Gospel of Thomas is preserved in its entirety, in a single Coptic text on the nakumatt e-library a horde of early, Christian texts, discovered the mid-twentieth century. It appears in a few Greek fragments to the Coptic manuscript dates to the 4th Century BCE. But it's probably a copy of an earlier, Greek version that dates to the second century, but some Scholars have even posited a late first century date. Dating. Thomas is actually really difficult because unlike the canonical gospels of Matthew Mark, Luke and John On the Gospel of Thomas is a sayings God. Awesome prizes. Jesus no, narratives, no servants. Just so, presumably, editors could have added to the text throughout his composition. In fact, one scholar able to conic argues that the Gospel of Thomas underwent, several layers of composition starting as a kernel of Aramaic, Jesus. Things in the mid first century all the way through to the second century with the version that we have today, do not all Scholars agree with dr. Taconic, to make things simple, and to avoid this debate, let's just say that the Gospel of Thomas probably was It's probably between 135 CE and 200C though, with the added possibility, that some sayings white date all the way back to this Georgia Jesus. In some of them might have been an error made. Now a lot of people think of the Gospel of Thomas is a Gnostic Gospel. In an earlier video. I say, why this assumption, as a lot more complex than what you think the Gospel of Thomas? Actually lacks a lot of NOS. Sisters. There is no mention of a evil demiurge. There's no mention of eons or archons. Like what we see in the Gospel of Judas. We just have a few sayings that. It's in the back. Other Gnostic Gospels like the apocryphon of John in actuality a large portion of the Gospel of Thomas, has parallels to the New Testament gospels. However, these parallels are always a little bit different which leads some Scholars to believe that the Gospel of Thomas is an independent source to the sayings of Jesus. For example, Thomas verse 96, has close parallels to Matthew 13:33, Jesus said, the kingdom of the father is like a certain woman. She took a little loving and made it into large loaves, Matthew on the other, And reads he sent to them another Parable. The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast. That a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of. It was leavened. So we obviously have parallel texts here but there are enough differences. Between these two texts that make Scholars. Think they are independent texts. Maybe one of them more original than the other, but who's to say, which one is more original? This question is actually really difficult to answer some Scholars. Think that Most often contains the older version of these Jesus sayings, because they're more simplistic than the canonical gospels, which often have very embellished Parables, but it counter-argument comes from Simon gather coal in his huge commentary on the Gospel of Thomas. He argues that the Gospel of Thomas is not independent of the canonical gospels. And in fact, whoever compiled Thomas was probably aware of the synoptic gospels in Thomas versus 13, 14, and 40. For there, seems to be some influence on the gospel of Matthew and in Thomas versus 30. 365 and 104. There seems to be Implement from the Gospel of Luke. Furthermore, he are The Gospel of Thomas dates to the second century and is far removed from Jesus life. And since the Gospel of Thomas lacks specific details about first century Palestine, he concludes that. It doesn't tell us much at all about the historical Jesus, AS Scholarship currently stands. And with the primary sources that are available to us at the present, the Gospel of Thomas can hardly be regarded as useful in the Reconstruction of a historical picture of Jesus. So at this point in the debate, we should just admit. Yeah, some of the sayings are very ancient and some of them might date back. To the historical Jesus himself, but the nature of our sources just don't let us know for sure and very smart people are on both sides of the debate. So finally let's tackle this question of why the Gospel of Thomas
