The Acts of Thomas

Secret Sayings   Jackson Snyder

Tradition tells us that Thomas the twin was a carpenter, and proselytized India. Some writings even name his twin - Jesus!

All us apostles were in Jerusalem, and we divided the regions of the world, and cast lots for the region each of us world go to.

India fell to Yahuda Thoma, also known as Didymos, according to the lot. He did not want to go; he excused himself as being too weak for travel. "How can I, a Hebrew, go and preach truth among Indians?"

At length he considered his plight, and the Savior appeared to him by night, and spoke, "Fear not, Thoma. Go to India and preach the Word, for my favor is with you!" But Thoma was adamant not to go, and said to the Master, "I am not going to the Indians! Send me wherever else you want, but not there!"

Soon after, an Indian merchant passed through named Abban, having been sent by King Gundaphorus. Abban was to purchase a construction worker (a tekton) to return with him to India. The Master saw Abban walking through the marketplace at noon, and called to him, "Do you want to buy a construction worker?" Abban answered "Yes." The Master said to him, "I have a slave who is a construction worker, and I want to sell him to you." Then Yahshua pointed out Thoma from a distance, and the two agreed on the sale price of Thoma as three pounds. The receipt was written this way:

I, Yahshua bar Yosef the builder, confirm that I have sold my slave Yahuda Thoma to Abban the merchant of Gundaphorus the king of India.

The Savior found Thoma and led him to Abban. Abban asked Thoma, "Is this your master?" The apostle answered, "Yes, he is my Master." Abban replied, "No longer, for I have bought you from him." The apostle was dumb with surprise.

The next day, the apostle sought the Master through prayer, and cried, "I will go wherever you want me to go; your will be done!" Then he went off to India with Abban the merchant, taking nothing at all but his price. The Master had given it to him saying, "Take your price with you wherever you go, and take my goodwill, too." 

The Odes of Shalomé (The Odes of Solomon)

Shalomé of the Cross was the daughter of Mary and sister of Yahshua of Nazareth. She is mentioned several times in the New Testament Scriptures as a witness to the crucifixion. The Egyptian Scriptures portray her as a person much more important than a mere onlooker. In them, she is a fervent disciple who harbors and nurtures her brother as she learns the Way of the True Worshipper. To this same Shalomé tradition has attributed forty-one songs composed in the Aramaic language of the holy family. Her spiritual insight has much in common with that of the Beloved Disciple and the Teacher of Righteousness. Yet Shalomé has more to offer than a religious comparison of darkness and light. Her songs comprise a young woman’s unique and often mystical vision of the ‘divine feminine,’ love both mundane and ethereal, and hope that reaches far beyond the boundaries of earth and sky.

The Authentic Peter: The Preaching of Simeon Kefa from the Journal of T. Flavius Clemens (Clement)

THE AUTHENTIC PETER: Ever wonder why Simon Peter only got a couple short letters in our Scriptures? Wouldn’t someone have recorded Peter’s AUTHENTIC acts and preaching? Of course his preaching was recorded! By Clement, an affluent Gentile convert, at the command of James the Just. So why would the Church Fathers bury the preaching of their first pope since Clement was their second pope? Because Peter's teachings are HEBRAIC. This volume is one-of-a-kind, containing teachings on many subjects, including deliverance, healing, true worship, and lost doctrines. We dispensed with churchy language in restored the original Hebraic names and titles of people, places and concepts - and a full GLOSSARY.
