I love finding new “lost manuscripts” that don’t get the publicity they should. Some discoveries make headlines for decades and others barely a mention. This particular text is one that has been over looked. The so called “Gospel of the Savior” is from a collection of fragments at the Berlin Egyptian Museum and was purchased …

Mary Magdalene and the resurrected Christ
With this post, I wanted to compare all the instances where Mary Magdalene meets the resurrected Christ. There have been countless articles / books on the importance of how this plays out, but for me, it shows the importance of Mary. She is the first to see the resurrected Christ, which in turn, will be …

Christ’s descent into Hell
Holy week passed earlier this month and with this post, I wanted to reference the Saturday between crucifixion and resurrection, that being the “Harrowing of Hell”. I always thought of the idea of Jesus going to Hell on a “rescue” mission to save souls was quite intriguing. So where does one go to read about …
Mark, Thomas and GPT
To continue with the chat GPT experiment, I decided to cross check the Gospel of Mark with the Gospel of Thomas. Yes, I realize Mark’s Gospel is pretty much told in Matthew and Luke. That being said, this post will be set up similar to the last one with OpenAI’s chatGPT entries in big bold …
Matthew, Luke, Thomas and ChatGPT
The buzz lately in the technology world is the artificial intelligence chat bots. I like to play around with new technologies (hence the abundance of A.I. art that graces my blog), thus I decided to give OpenAI’s chat GPT a shot. This program is quite interesting. If you have never used it, it’s sort of …
Missing fragment from the Gospel of Philip?
As I continue down the rabbit hole that is the Panarion of Epiphanius of Salamis, I noticed a fragment that I have read before. While describing the Gnostics (Borborites), Epiphanius mentions they use a “Gospel of Philip” and then writes out a saying from said gospel. I have edited the saying (i.e. took out his …

Two more readings
I have a video clip of two more readings I would like to share. The first reading is from the Gospel of Philip and it’s about how Jesus appears to everyone. Jesus took them all by stealth, for he did not appear as he was, but in the manner in which they would be able …
Gospel of Thomas 114 & Theodotus
Simon Peter said to them, “Make Mary leave us, for females don’t deserve life.” Jesus said, “Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven.” – Gospel of Thomas, saying …
Readings from “Gospel of Truth” & “Gospel of Judas”
Another reading video, this time sections from the “Gospel of Truth” and the “Gospel of Judas”. With the Judas reading, I included some MidJourney AI artwork to accompany the text. I’ll post one of those pics below with the transcript of the text. The section of Truth I decided to recite is of the section …

Gospel of Philip – Saying 107 (Bridal Chamber)
With this post, I decided to include my MidJourney A.I. artwork based on saying 107 from the Gospel of Philip as well as a reading of it. For the artwork and reading, I used the translation by Daniel McCoy, that can be found at: https://gnosticismexplained.org/the-gospel-of-philip/ I highly enjoy Daniel’s translations, and recommend you all check …
