Standing for Peace (Gospel of Thomas)

from The Tao of Christ · host Marshall Davis

 In this episode we are looking at the sixteenth saying of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas. Jesus said, “People think, perhaps, that I have come to throw peace upon the world. They don't know that I have come to throw disagreement upon the world, and fire, and sword, and struggle. There will be five in one house. Three will oppose two. Two will oppose three. The father will oppose his son and the son oppose his father. And they will stand up and they will be alone.” This saying has a parallel in the Gospel of Matthew. By comparing the two we can see differences and discover the uniqueness of Thomas’ version, which teaches Christian nonduality.View Marshall's books here:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU
