Why I Believe That Energy = God

[WhiteCandle]

Well I'll tell you what guys,

I found Christ first through myself, then through reading parts of the New Testament, then through the Gospel of Thomas. Yes, and what was my favorite part of all that besides myself? The Gospel of Thomas.

When it comes to the words of Christ, I actually prefer the Gospel of Thomas to the New Testamanet, believe it or not. I do like the New Testament as well because it includes a little bit about the story of Jesus, not as much as I wish but it talks a little bit about His childhood and then His adulthood, ect.

Now, both of them to me are good documents. The New Testament and The Gospel of Thomas. Neither of them do I consider to be The Word of God though. To me, only Jesus Christ Himself can hold that title.

Jesus said: "Thy word is truth" (John 17:17).

Jesus declares not only that God's Word contains truth but that it is truth. But Jesus states that He is the Truth.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." -- John 14:6

And only Him. He never even states that the scriptures ARE the truth. He just states that they testify of Him:

"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me" (John 5:39).

So you see, He only ever states that HIS WORDS are the Truth. Not the scriptures. They only testify of His existence. But His words are the words of God. He is the Word of God.

Now, interestingly enough, He also doesn't say which scriptures we should search for. So He doesn't ever lay down rules for which ones are better than others. In fact, as long as they are not forgeries, I believe anything partaining to the existence or words of Christ would count when it comes to testifying that He existed. And the Gospel of Thomas is therefore included in that category.
