The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is extra to the canonical gospels in the New Testament of the bible. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. Scholars speculate that the works were buried and hidden after the declaration of a strict canon of Christian scripture, where any works that were not selected for inclusion in the new testament were ordered to be destroyed. Scholars have proposed dates of composition as early as 60 AD and as late as 250 AD as a collection of sayings of Jesus.
Our Commentary on Verse 071 of Thomas Gospel.
These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.
Gospel of Thomas Saying 71 - Destruction of "this building".
Jesus said, "I shall destroy this house, and no one will be able to build it [...]."
“Jesus said, "I shall destroy this house, and no one will be able to build it [...]."
Jesus speaks with great authority to all that have the ears to hear. All of Jesus’ words come through his higher consciousness and his access to higher truth.
For all those that have properly heard and recognised divine truth through the spoken words of Jesus, his statement above
“I shall destroy this house…” etc will be accepted as literal truth.
This observation is important and meaningful.
For all those that have heard something in Jesus and have made the decision to accept him, they will have opened their hearts and therefore opened their access to their divine reasoning within.
Therefore they will understand the lesson that was meant in the full verse of the above saying.
