[/ QUOTE ] 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?

Re: would Jesus have been good at poker?
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.

[/ QUOTE ] From Wikipedia: Matthew: "Secular scholarship generally agrees it was written by an anonymous non-eyewitness to Jesus' ministry. The author apparently used the Gospel of Mark as one source and the hypothetical Q document as another, possibly writing in Antioch, c 80-85." Luke: "While some scholars argue for a pre-70 date for when the gospel was written, most scholars place the date ca. 80-90." John: "Most scholars agree on a range of c. 90-100 for when the gospel was written, though dates as early as the 60s or as late as the 140s have been advanced by a small number of scholars." Also there is much debate about the date of Gospel of Thomas as well - ranging from 50 to 150. You are correct about Mark though (60-65). [/nitpick]

Re: would Jesus have been good at poker?
Denouncing it as heretical makes me believe it's legitimate.
Some say it was written around the same time as the Gospels. At least the Gospel of Thomas allegedly reveals something about what God is and how to become Christlike. If Christ existed, I believe he'd rather us become like him instead of blinding worship him and a corrupt Church. Your post is somewhat condescending but I guess it's "cool" to be right and believe something that you can't question!
