Zone1 Intelligent people have doubts RE Jesus

[forkintheroad7]

I will settle this argument. I am a Catholic and I'm also the smartest member at this website! So, there was a Jesus. HE was a great man who hated the Boston Celtics!

God is a Laker fan!

Everything you say here is untrue, esp the part about you being the smartest here

THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS​

These are the hidden sayings that the living Yeshua spoke and Yehuda Toma the twin recorded.

(1)
And he said,
Whoever discovers what these sayings mean
will not taste death.

(2)
Yeshua said,
Seek and do not stop seeking until you find.
When you find, you will be troubled.
When you are troubled,
you will marvel and rule over all.

(3)
Yeshua said,
If your leaders tell you, “Look, the kingdom is in heaven,”
then the birds of heaven will precede you.
If they say to you, “It’s in the sea,”
then the fish will precede you.
But the kingdom is inside you and it is outside you.
When you know yourselves, then you will be known,
and you will understand that you are children of the living father.
But if you do not know yourselves,
then you dwell in poverty and you are poverty.

Is this the same gospel of Thomas that the Catholic Church declined to add to the New Testament in the 4th century?

The same

Saying 3 alone is one of the reasons it was left out and determined to be heretical

Okay, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

you are talking about the text that is under the number 3?

I don't see what's so bad about that (though kind of skimmed through it)
