lol at "The Gospel of Thomas". Written a 150 years after Jesus, as opposed to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, written by Jesus' contemporaries, none later than 65 AD. Some gnostic group put it out as the "secret" sayings of Jesus, 'cause they were into secret stuff. They thought it was cool.

What you forget is that back then people lived hundreds of years.

like Jesus had a sick read on Judas, but bluff-call stacked off anyway amiright. then he rebought only to leave the table and be blinded away.

Judas went south with a 30 piece of silver effective stack. Jesus read his soul.

a lot of what he said was convoluted, but I think he's talking about being counterfeited here.

also, would he be a CardRunners pro?

Chapter and verse? Looks fake.

I've read the new testament a few times, and don't remember this verse from anywhere. Apocrypha maybe? I haven't read that.

It is from the Gospel of Thomas, not in the Bible. Supposedly the only direct quotes from Jesus. All weird mystical stuff, like Kabbalistic or gnostic.

This is a tough question.

He is the son of God, but I think he can't lie. Sorta like could God make a cookie so big even he couldn't eat it.

I dunno, I'd flip a coin.
