Sayings of Jesus #13--Gospel of Thomas.

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

13) Jesus said to His disciples, "Compare me to someone and tell

Me whom I am like."

Simon Peter said to Him, "You are like a righteous angel."

Matthew said to Him, "You are like a wise philosopher."

Thomas said to Him, "Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of

saying whom You are like."

Jesus said, "I am not your master. Because you have drunk,

you have become intoxicated by the bubbling spring which I have

measured out."

And He took him and withdrew and told him three things. When

Thomas returned to his companions, they asked him, "What did

Jesus say to you?"

Thomas said to them, "If I tell you one of the things which

he told me, you will pick up stones and throw them at me; a fire

will come out of the stones and burn you up."

 

Purport:

I feel this is Jesus talking again about all being One. In fact

because he gave the teaching that they enjoyed, this doesn't make

him any different from them. All is One and a projection of the One

God, all is God, we are God. This would frighten some disciples who

were dualistic and others would consider it blasphemy.It is

indicated that even the stones are conscious. A Messiah is one thing

but all being God is another. However in the Bible, Exodus III, Jave

or Jehovah means `I am that I am'. So the original `I Am', is the

manifestation of `God'.......ONS...Tony.
