Yes Christine I have the book of Thomas of Thomas before me now. It is the published edition of the concord Grove Press. I doubt you would find it in a Christian book store. I had the Book of Jasher which was a very understandable history of the meanness of Moses. No wonder the Romans changed it. When I said I researched religion origins I told the truth. I have also read the Tao of Physics which is tryst in he islands with a Taoist and a christian on their concepts of belief. I have some Buddhist masters writings which by oath I am not allowed to reveal. They do not have the same beliefs entirely agreeing with mine. Their intended morality is second to none and shown by service and by dedication. The Nag Hammadi discovery of the manuscripts just adds further light to the origins of Christianity, but the Gospel of Thomas which Christians do not accept for their canon, is the earliest known records of the utterances of Jesus. It is accessible to the Agnostic, Mystic and Christians. After my initiation into the mysteries, I was proffered the opportunity to unite and study with the Master Saint Martin order but had to decline as I was still a student in a demanding school for complete concentration of thought. The mystical order I belong to is not a religion. It school of philosophy and wisdom of the ages. The mystical life of Jesus has been so altered in Christianity that it would be impossible to associate his teaching with that of the currently portrayed Jesus. I have read of the order of Melchisadek and have some of the works by Frater AAchad. The book,"The Mystical Christ by M.P. Hall is in our public library. They also have the book of Hall book, "Secret teachings of the Ancients with explanation of symbolism. A great book but I couldn't manage the huge volume at the library so after reading a bit of it I purchased a copy. It is available at Kessingers online bookstore where I browse quite often. I guess I understand Christianity as well as anyone here. Some of the finest people I know are of the Christian belief. I do not proclaim the person evil because of it. I do maintain that the psychological damage it does is a very negative act. Call it evil, a sin or error. It is still all wrong. Call your creation act of God, a result of cosmic events, or any other title. It conveys only a limited meaning to each of us. Ask any number of Christians to describe God on paper. Collect the papers and see how many different views you get on what is said to be simple truth anyone can understand.
