Apostle Thomas

  Here are the instructions given to the Disciples.  Matthew 10:5-15

  These twelve Yahusha sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.  Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.  And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till you go thence.  And when you come into an house, salute it.  And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.  And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.  Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

  Not much is written in scripture about Thomas, but his character is well known.  In John 11:16 when Yahusha Hamashia was about to go to Bethany to raise Lazarus from the Dead.  Bethany is near Jerusalem. The priests in Jerusalem wanted to kill Yahusha Hamashia.  Here is what Thomas said. 

  Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus,  unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

  Thomas has the meaning of twin.  Didymus is a way of saying twin. Thomas doubted that he would live through the ordeal of being near and even in Jerusalem.  Here is Yahusha saying:
  
  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 

  But Thomas responded:

  Master, we know not where you go; and how can we know the way?

  The first part of what Thomas said was okay to ask, but the second part was like he missed the point of what Yahusha Hamashia said.  Simply said, Yahusha Hamashia was going to what people call the third heaven.  Some people believe there is seven heavens.  But heaven may be the wrong name for it.  There's the Abyss, Hell, the Lake of Fire, our sky, dark matter, the unseen universe and Heaven where the Throne of Yahuah is.  How do you get directions to Heaven is the question.  Yahusha Hamashia answers Thomas. 

  Yahusha said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.

  Did you catch that?  Nobody enters in before Yahuah except that you are taken into the Holy of Holies of Heaven by Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ, who is Yahuah of Hosts.  

  After Yahusha resurrected, He appeared to Mary Magdalene and some Disciples.  Thomas responded, "Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe."

John 20:25-27  The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Master. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Yahusha, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.  Then said to Thomas, Reach hither your finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither your hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.  And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Master and my Elohiym.  Yahusha said unto him, Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Quote: "According to Syrian Christian tradition, Thomas was killed with a spear at St. Thomas Mount in Chennai India in CE 72, and his body was interred in Mylapore. Ephrem the Syrian states that the Apostle was killed in India, and that his relics were taken then to Edessa.  It is said that Thomas was killed by jealous Hindu priests of Kali.

  Quote: Kali is the Hindu goddess of death, time, and doomsday. She is often associated with sexuality and violence but is also considered a strong mother figure and symbol of motherly love. Kali embodies shakti - feminine energy, creativity and fertility - and is an incarnation of Parvati, wife of the great Hindu god Shiva.

  When the Bible was put together it was under the leadership of priests during the time of Constantine the Great.  Catholicism wanted to separate from the Jewish shadow.  Books like the Gospel of Thomas was left out because I quote: "scandalous information about Yahusha that the church wanted to hide. They didn’t want the world to know sketchy details.". On the other hand, Acts chapter 29 was left out also.  I believe it is because the Apostle Paul made it to London to speak to the British.  Brit is covenant in Hebrew.  Ish is man in Hebrew.  Paul was speaking to Israelites.  The Druids was children of Hebrew Priests.  That doesn't say Druids practiced and worshipped as they should.     

  Interesting things Thomas wrote.

Yahusha said, " I have cast fire upon the world, and I am guarding it until it blazes.  This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away.  Parts of Thomas verses 10-11.  

It's like these verses was taken out of context.  There is no flow to it.  What we do know is that we are baptized in spirit and fire.  The Spirit is the Holy Spirit and the fire is the Hit coals near Yahuah the Father.  Heaven is out universe.  There's a second heaven between ours and Yahuah Elohiym.  

Yahusha saw infants being suckled He said to His disciples,"  these infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom."  They said to Him, "shall we then as children enter the kingdom?" Yahusha said to them,  "when you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not male nor the female: and when you fashion eyes in place of an eye, and a hand in place of the hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom."

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  Matthew 18:3

  Thomas and Matthew certainly started out in similar statements.  But then Thomas takes it into the weeds as far as most people would think.  I do believe Yahusha Hamashia did say things that would seem confusing.  Or as the Jews said, He does things because of a Devil.  Testing Thomas' statement let's take a look.  
  
  Making two one is like a hypersphere.  Two or more spheres are one.  Yahusha Hamashia and Yahuah are one.  Inside the sphere is like the outside and the outside is like the inside.  Yahusha Hamashia was talking about living in three or more dimensions.  Yahusha on earth is like Yahuah in Heaven and Yahuah in Heaven can be seen in Yahusha on Earth.  Male and female being one in the same is seen in the Holy Spirit and Yahuah Elohiym.  The seven spirits of the Holy Spirit have feminine names and one Deity name.  Eyes in place of an eye would be seeing in the fourth dimension or more.  We must remember that Yahusha walked through a solid wall.  When we have a glorified body, then we shall enter Heaven.  

  His disciples said to him,  "show us the place where you are since it is necessary for us to seek it.   He said to them,  "whoever has ears let him hear.  There is light within a man of light,  and if he lights up the whole world. If he does not shine, he is Darkness." 

  Another riddle.  If Thomas did write this, he did not doubt it.  Yahusha was trying to get the Disciples to look deeper into the spiritual.  A light within the body is also a light outside the body.  If no spiritual light is noticed, that person is in darkness.  

  Theses are a few that I noticed in the Gospel of Thomas.  I also noticed the last verse (114).  

  Simon Peter said to Him,  "let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life."  Yahusha said,  "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a Living spirit resembling you males.  For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven.  

  You know that this Mary is none other than Mary Magdalene.  She did not deny knowing Yahusha Hamashia three times like Peter.  She was at the cross.  She was at the tomb.  Romans and Temple soldiers did not frighten her.  Peter hid himself.  But the question is, how does women make themselves male.  Thomas is not talking about a sex change or dressing up like a man nor acting like a man or becoming a priest.  Yahusha did not want Peter leading Mary Magdalene, He would do it Himself. Some say Mary served John in Turkey.  Others say she worked with Lazarus in southern France.  If she was with John,  I believe he would have mentioned her.  Because she was in France, fourth century priests would not want to mention her, much less including her as an Apostle.  The Pope called her a prostitute.  If you look online there's no tomb in Turkey, but in France you can see her bones.   Mary Magdalene today resembles a Son of Elohiym living in Paradise and looking like a female.  Yes Peter is there also.

Mary Magdalene Chapter 9 and Commentary

1-2) When Mary had said this, she fell silent, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her.  But Andrew answered and said...
