“I don’t think there is a Q”
Maybe this is Mark Goodacre’s account instead of Ehrman.
It seems to me more likely that there’s more of the historical Jesus in Thomas than there is in John and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it was written earlier.
Thanks for the read. I’m someone who only recently started reading about early Christianity recently and it absolutely blows my mind how diverse the theology was so early.
No dude he was crucified
Wow I think I found Bart Ehrman’s Lemmy account lol.
In seriousness though, that was a great read thank you.
I wouldn’t blame the scholars who misclassified it too much. If I read it without knowing anything about it I would probably make the same mistake because secret knowledge is a big focus in it.
Do you reckon Thomas’s author had access to Q ?
Some of the sayings in the gospel of Thomas are so strange.
"Jesus said, “Lucky is the lion that the human will eat, so that the lion becomes human. And foul is the human that the lion will eat, and the lion still will become human.”

Theen would refer to a non binary monarch I’m guessing.
Christian’s don’t love the world, if that were true climate change wouldn’t be an issue.
Christian’s treat the world like a motel they’ll only be staying at for a couple of days.
Genesis only makes sense from a Gnostic point of view imo. Snek was good guy all along.
Religion teaches you to hate and distrust people who don’t believe the same thing as you.
The fastest growing sect of Christianity in the world are the Evangelicals. The biblical literalists that hate everyone.
Genesis never says that the serpent is Satan, just that it’s a serpent.

He also couldn’t be more fucking wrong about Genesis. It’s probably the most heinous thing about him tbh.
We recognise tyranny when we see it and have a lot solidarity with people living under an oppressive regime that hates them.
