The Infancy Gospel of Thomas Explained 

Jesus killing his teacher is similar to the myths of Hercules as a child. Hercules kills one of his teachers when he makes a mistake in music class

RainintheBrain of

There is no truth in the fact that Christ was black being shown in the depictions of this video. If you start off with a lie , the rest must also be a lie ! Until you tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth , you will never be taken seriously. You talk about the Jesus doing things than goes against the teachings but in the book of Isaiah 7:14 , Isaiah says that his name shall be called Immanuel. This was 700 plus years before the birth of Jesus. Immanuel mean God with us. Im/man/and/el Immanuel Humans having desire to deceive is of Satan. The truth shall set you free

@@RainintheBrain How do you know it is a myth ??? You are pushing falsehood as you decided to believe that it's a myth and you wabt other's to believe it is a myth does not make it a myth. You find things hard to fit inside your belief and you discount it as a myth. You might need to rethink your proof of actual and mtyhs.

Flexing his dominus

He pulled a reverse card

He woulda been Chucky Jesus

I would think that would be the case unless Joseph was so infamous that his son murdering a teacher paled in comparison.

If if if

Me too

Bible itself is all fiction

@@zechreverse6104 and all sorts of fiction has fanfiction

joseph pulling jesus ears in the gospel is funny after what he did.

Not a fan of Iulius exclusus e coelis?

Oh right, I forgot about that. That must have been a popular story to circulate around that much.

I thought it was in agreement that the story of Isa/Jesus in the Quran was plagiarized from Thomas' infancy gospel as well as the traditional gospel of Mark? Two out of the four Christian gospels do not mention Joseph at all, one of these is the gospel of Mark. The Quran appears to borrow exclusively from both under Mark including the clay bird story which doesn't appear anywhere else. Yet, the Quran ignores the fact that the narrative is expanded to include Joseph in the other two gospels. I believe a "version" was chosen to exclude Joseph and fabricate a demi-god narrative of Jesus' birth and childhood in the Quran because of Jewish and Islamic standards of their time. For Mary to elope without the consent of her parents, who would have arranged marriages, the bride and groom do not chose each other and to be traveling without a male relative, would call for stoning to death as punishment depending on which culture the story is being delivered to. This is ignored and a story is created to exclude Joseph because he is too controversial. Even the Catholic church to this day insists that Jesus' siblings that are mentioned in the bible are not his blood relatives and "must be from a previous marriage of Joseph's," despite no evidence that they are anything but full blood relatives. In a subjective opinion, I still believe that childhood miracles were fabricated to legitimize a "miraculous virgin birth" that never took place, and that Jesus was conceived and born naturally out of wedlock (there wasn't a formal ceremony) and the couple fled to be counted in a census to avoid punishment. If everything was legitimate, there would be no need for the angel to visit Mary in person or Joseph in a dream. The visitations are assurance that God put the two together, not the parents, which they would have taken some time to consider and may not not even approve. At the time, telling people an angel visited would not be taken seriously. This again, trying to make him sound closer to Heracles type legends to make for easier conversion as what was done with the "blood sacrifice" on the cross. Childhood miracles try to give "evidence" that his birth and as a baby, he was "different" and in turn, legitimizing Mary without Jospeh. Cultural context in shaping the radical difference between texts must be considered when examining such anomalous descriptions that are not found with other authors.

Do you know that back then being a virgin was the equivalent of not being married.

+Sarah:The Jesus story of the Quran was not plagiarized from any sources. There are a lot of differences, except for the clay birds miracles and Jesus spoke as an infant (the Quran says he was the servant, not son of God). They may be similar but not the same. Furthermore, the Quran denies the divinity and the crucifiction of Jesus Christ. Instead, he was a human messenger only sent to the Children of Israel. He preached to ONE true God as in the first of the 10 Commandment says. And there is a chapter named Mary, an honor not even found in the Bible. She is honored and respected, chosen as the woman above all nation. Therefore, Muhammad could not have plagiarized stories from other sources, he was given revelation of Quran directly from Allah God Almighty.

Sarah Harris What would it mean to you personally if Jesus is the Son of God, and had the miraculous birth the Bible describes?

This is the Way.

Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown Like his father carving wood He'd have made good. Tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best. He'd have caused nobody harm; no one alarm.

yOu kNoW thE WaE

Jesus was the Blemishless Lamb, He did not sin .. if you bealve he Sined, you Blinded By sin These demons are Masters at Deception

@@MeiGunner Where in my comment did I say that. I said the story was funny, never said I believed it was true.

@@introspectiver1787 my bad, I imagined the teacher was a woman for some reason lol

I purposely try to maintain a neutral stance.

It’s the alpha and the omega simply letters with male or female energy

Beta mean son in urdu and hindhi

Alpha bet(a)!!!!!

@@HS-yr6sw Alpha is "a" and Bet(a) is "b". They literally called the alphabet the AB's (versus our ABC's). Ha

Alephbet

So he skipped beta.

@@punkwrestle He already knew the whole alphabet, so yes he skip beta, gamma.....psi, omega.

Jesus was the ultimate chad than your average dumb school jocks.

Omega? So he is a boy that can become pregnant by sleeping with other boys?

Jesus is the ultimate Based Chad but he also knows how it feels to be the weakest.

Monty python missed that one

KEN BEE The Young Messiah. It’s a 2016 movie about Jesus in his childhood years through his adult life. Some of the plot of the story was taken from the Apocryphal gospel of Thomas.

They have it's called brightburn lol

He learned his lesson when Ozzy came over and bite the head off one of the sparrows. It was known from then on as Black Sabbath!

It would be considered heretical.

Smallville

Twilight Zone the Movie - Segment 3 ("It's a Good Life")

@@kutzcd I was thinking of the original show episode, of which the movie segment is a remake. It's the most obvious comparison, really. In fact it's so close in some ways that I wonder if Bixby was inspired by reading of the Thomas text.

the last airbender was a good boay

So basically Harry Potter?

I think u 2. Mortals of flesh n dust to dust forget who Jesus really was n still is the son of God "For my thought r not ur thoughts, neither r ur ways my ways declares the Lord" IS 55:8. Dont mess with the Lord he is more than we can comprehand. Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard what God has for those who love Him💖

@@dorismarin5456 Amen may our lord keep you strong in faith I love Christ Jesus so much, hhe has done so much in my life when I was blind I did not see, when he open my eyes I started seeing him when before I did not, please who ever that is reading this trust me and read the bible you have nothing to loose, satan wants everyone away from the bible, but if you belive that Jesus is the son of God and that God raised him after 3 days confess it with your moulth and trust in him, and he will guide you into the way. In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit

The cultural context of “the alphabet” being “super deep crap”, is important here. As gematria, both Greek, and Hebrew, were a very common practice in first century Judea. 666, “the number of a man”, “for those with eyes to see”, in book attributed to John Of Patmos, is another coded reference to convey a hidden and dangerous political message. There is a numerical value for each letter, in both systems respectively. In the case of 666 or 616 in the other translation, you still get the name Caesar Nero, or Kaiser Neron. (Nrwn Qsr) But yeah, it’s full of esoteric parable, but looks like fan fiction. Is... lol

Considering at the time mysticism around the secret meanings of Hebrew and Greek alphabets was a common practice, I'd say the discussion is relevant.

@William Burns why not go further and say that all the gospel were fan fiction.....because OFCOURSE you would say its fan fiction, to separate it from the rest. This is picking and choosing. (1 point atheist)

The whole Bible is corrupted

@William Burns Where is your source?

@@paulvigil6757 Cite one thing, atheist.

@@Angelotube5000 just because he thinks the bible is corrupted doesn't mean has an atheist. in fact disputes about the composition and interpretation of the bible, what should be canon, etc. have been done since its foundation, and we have hundreds of different denominations because of it. what would be your definition of corrupted if someone applied that to the bible.

That's crazy lol, aren't all children Krishna inside? We should be mindful!

@@lucanaut not literally

Well He spoke the universe into existence through His Word, so it makes sense He could end it by speaking too.

He's suposs to win the battle of armagedon in that way

technically yeah, as an adult he's not as short tempered but if you mess with him in the wrong time you're gonna die

Yeah but thats a tree.

The fig tree being a symbol of Israel found throughout the Bible. As in, looking like you bear fruit when you do not doesn’t please god.

The Night Watcher exactly. It’s symbolism to represents appearance of obedience (green leaves without fruit)

Which verse?

Julio JA1 i

Brian White I read it and he restored what he did later on

Lol

Literally gohan

There is a folk song 'bitter withy' which has the same theme. I would hope it is not true!

Or Chucky.

It's not uncommon for outlying texts to borrow common theological stories to give context.

You mean Heracles if you talking sbout the Greek variation, Hercules is the Roman hero.

I was thinking Hermes

Y a a k o v They are both the same guy.

Lies

@jeff jones you have forgotten that he left for 40 days and was tempted by Satan . If he already had powers there would be no reason to tempt him Also he says that all his miracles were done cuz his father did it not him ." I Am" is the truth the light the way ."I Am" is the King of all Kings God of all God's.

@jeff jones A Jew is not what you think a Jew is. There were three major sects calling themselves. Jews (Just like we have many denominations of christians) The fact is, none of the three sects were actually Jews because they had altered the original Jewish way and Laws of the Creator. See; Revelation 3:9 The remnant of the original Jews were the sect of the nazarenes of which Yahshua was of. The first followers of Yahshua called themselves Nazarenes and followers of the way. As in I am the way the truth... " Also the saying; "Eye for an eye." was Moses laws not the creator. The Torah did state ; "However men should treat you, treat them the same way, for it is the Law and the prophets."

Can anyone tell what is the source of this Thomas information? And is he the same Thomas among the 12 postles? Was he an eye witness? Did he at least live during Jesus time? Untill answering all above questions, the whole story is a big lie

@@soskalovesgod9477 If you cannot find the answers yourself, then this will remain "A big Lie" to you. "My sheep will hear my voice." This one will make religious fanatics like you blow a blood vessel, The Savior's name is Yahshua not Jesus/Jzeus. Now go find salvation, if you can.

Yuuuup

bruh he said he will die

Good speculation. He was Essene after all.

Recording a dramatic reading is SUCH a good idea.

Infancy gospel of Thomas...😑😑 It's in the name of the video...

I think that was in Marvel Comics #666

JJBushfan Wrong! Jesus has the power to take life and he has the power to give life❤️🕊

@@Aluminium11 My word, what a lot I could say about this. But never mind. Let's keep it simple and suggest that you probably missed the joke. I assume you're not familiar with Monty Python's Life of Brian.

"He is a very Naughty Boy" is a innocent joke with love BUT "he is not the Messiah" is NO JOKE. 🙂

@@Aluminium11 Have you ever read the book of Judas?

Scott Louis Smith Of course I have. However the book of Judas is an apokryphal text.

Well he had to learn how to fly some day!

he didn't wanna bring him back to life... he was like "no i didn't push my friend!! ayyo Zeno i didn't push you right?" and Zeno got up and was like "yea man that totally didn't happen."

I mean if this was a true Gospel, then let's remember....he was 5 doing all this

I was about to say the same thing.Jesus, stop turning Joseph into a jack in the box or I’m going to take your gold silver and myrrh for an entire month.

Ya, close to Assiut and certainly been influenced or teached by Egyptian priests. Making living creatures out of clay, god Khnoum or Ptah alike.

@@pascalheimbach861 agreed. There seems to be a similar storytelling approach when you compare tales from the papyrus regarding the exploits of the Priest of Ptah to the prophets of the bible.

Thanks for the feedback. I do think most people make fun of this text instead of trying to figure out what it is trying to say.

Karakta you call this "serious analysis"?

Karakta to be fair, Gnostic texts and thr Gospel of Thomas is hilarious. #Barbelo

Problem is Jesus is sinless and brats are not. Good reason why this gospel is BS.

So basically Jesus is Spider-man Kidding XD

Ghost Emblem I was thinking the same thing. Why would a poor Jew boy attend school? But I think it might be more of a reference to going to temple and listening to scripture?

At the time, boys went to the temple and rabbis would teach them about scriptures and stuff. I think that's what "Thomas" was referring to

Regularly-scheduled schooling in a classroom with a contracted teacher was a well known fact of classical antiquity, especially in towns and cities around the eastern Mediterranean (including towns/villages along the Nile). Note that schools and schoolteachers in classical antiquity were a feature of urban life, but not rural life, where most of the population lived and worked. In classical antiquity, literacy and schooling were a mark of an urban upbringing considered superior to rural life.

If he would of been rich maybe but its not the case obviously fake was written in 100+ and used by gnostic

true

So just how deep does that rabbit hole go?

Narratively its a better story with the infancy gospel imo

there is so much obvious failed apologetic in that I dont even know where to begin. No, Jesus didnt wither a young boy with a touch. and no, he didnt walk on water. no, he didnt raise anyone from the dead. and no, jesus didnt rise from his tomb. jesus wasnt a god. he was a jew who lived and died a natural life. Romans crucified him and left his body to rot on the cross for carrion birds. Because that was what the Romans did as a message to other political insurrectionists.

Jews were familiar with miracles so that didn't amaze a lot of them and I'm pretty amazed how they didn't accept him as the messiah.

@jesse merrill God doesn't command people to his will?

The Qur’an states Jesus spoke as a baby also

It’s not that unbelievable to me because in those days a woman giving birth outside of marriage would have been killed. Thats apparently when Jesus spoke

Fredy Sansom 😂 😂

I like the episode with the sparrows.

The uproar in certain Christian circles would be hilarious to watch! Remember Scorsese's Last Temptation of Christ and Mel Gibson's Passion?

I was scrolling until I found someone to mention this, to verify I'm not the only one 😂

That was my immediate thought as well. The similarities are strong.

Well, presumably some Christians really liked it since it was circulated around enough to end up in Syriac, Greek, and Latin manuscripts. Since copying and translating was difficult back then (not too many skilled, literate scribes), they would have done this only if they found the text valuable. Having said that, some Christian authorities such as Irenaeus come out pretty early saying that this text is heretical. I believe Irenaeus mentions it in Adversus Haeresis 1.20.1

I wonder if it influenced the closing of schools. Education seemed to drop off unless it was by the Church. I would suspect a few followed his example and killed teachers in real life.

Someone did make a comedy about the childhood of Jesus, they're called the Gnostics and they wrote the "gnostic gospels" they are a joke. Only it's really not all that funny.

that would be blasphemy.

Why would anyone be making fun of something we don’t know if that relates to our Lord and Savior? Why risk to be condemned for eternity? What gain would you obtain from it besides the praise of the world and yet lose your soul at the end? Are you not afraid of GOD’s power and might?! Would you like someone to make mockery of your mother or father? And would you find it funny? We out to love and respect and fear and honor our Lord and Savior JesusChrist. Peace be with you, in JesusChrist, Amen.

Rod Serling: "Here is tonight's little twist on a Gnostic text...found only in the Twilight Zone."

They were probably not listening.

@William Burns The Dark Age is a myth

The video is only 6:36

Could you give some examples?

Young Hercules also killed his teacher ,except the teacher was teaching him how to play the harp.
