The Gospel of Thomas is a collection of 114
sayings and statements Jesus made to disciples
and followers. This Gnostic Gospel is one of 13
ancient codices found near Nag Hammadi, Egypt,
in 1945. These Gnostic writings assert a very different
perspective of early Christianity. Some of today's
popular movies such as "The Da Vinci Code" and
"Stigmata" make references to the secret meanings
hidden in the writings of Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas.


Disciple Didymus Judas Thomas encrypted these 114
statements of Jesus challenging the dogma within
Judaism. When the church spoke of sacrificing animals,
and taught waiting for the world to end, Jesus would say
sacrificing animals was useless and no one needed to wait for
the Kingdom of Heaven to arrive. It was already here, right now,
and ever present. Encrypting his words kept him out of prison.
The Gospel of Thomas, Revealed untangles the meaning of these
encrypted sayings. Jesus offers his disciples and followers a
new covenant, vastly different from Judaism and today's
Christianity, that guarantees followers who live their lives
turning inside, practicing his new spiritual covenant, will find
and experience the Kingdom of the Father long before death.
Read what Jesus really thought.
