To continue on with the Gospel of the Savior, we start at page 108, which continues the narrative from the previous page. This page is fragmented thus disrupts the flow of text. Here are some highlights. Jesus speaks of the plan against him and that he is a stranger to him. The person he is …

Gospel of the Savior (1 of 2)
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 …

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 …
Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1
What is the “Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1” you may ask? It is a piece of papyri discovered by papyrologists Bernard Pyne Grenfell and Arthur Surridge Hunt on their second day of excavation, January 12, 1897, in the garbage mounds of the town of Oxyrhynchus, Egypt. Their total find amounted to 1,000s of various texts including some …
“The Gospel of Mary (Magdalene)” – animated
To go with the video I posted the other day, this animated video is of “The Gospel of Mary (Magdalene).” The Gnostic texts have quite a bit of material related to various feminine aspects (Sophia being the most spoken of). However, Mary Magdalene is a very prominent character in the texts. She is greatly featured …
