That is kind of delving into conspiracy theory.The quotes are often the same as those of the four books. And why would a theologian quote that which made them of no purpose?
If you are trying to build a religion then obviously it would be wise to ignore that which eliminated the middle man. The suggestion is there in the four books canonized but less obvious. Theology which is nothing more than religious philosophy, was able to divert a direct relationship between man and God into the need for a religion, institution and clergy.That would mean every early church father was trying to suppress the Gnostic sayings in the supposed gospel of Thomas.
And you see the gospel account attributed to Thomas as a key pillar in suppressing this relationship?If you are trying to build a religion then obviously it would be wise to ignore that which eliminated the middle man.

No, just another example of where oneness with God was suppressed in order for man to build yet another one of his earthly kingdoms.And you see the gospel account attributed to Thomas as a key pillar in suppressing this relationship?
There is not enough of this message in the canonical Scriptures?No, just another example of where oneness with God was suppressed in order for man to build yet another one of his earthly kingdoms.
Please explain this. It is manifest in Scriptures Christ abides in us and we in Him. The Scriptures testify that all things are in, through and with The Person of Christ Jesus.How often do you hear it preached we are one with God and not separate?
That is why most theologians today believe three of four gospels were penned before 70AD.
I don’t doubt that.I have come to the exact opposite conclusion.
Could you explain this?That is what was sidetracked. We are not God but God is us.
Heard something like that in Star Trek Deep Space 9.We are but a part of the whole.
God is the uncreated Creator.God is all and created all, therefore all is a part of God.
God is not His own creation.Of course, so nothing is separate from God.
You advocate panentheism?I agreed and God is all there is
