Greetings all, and all the best for 2008. I was having a bit of a cyber-joust with a colleague of mine earlier this week, and sensed that neither of us came...
It's late and I'm just about to go to bed, but it would seem to me that Judas Didymos Thomas is probably named thus because the Greek speakers called him...
Hello Judy … … interesting observation that " … Judas Didymos Thomas is probably named thus because the Greek speakers called him Didymos and the Aramaic...
Happy New Year Maurice and everyone, I am new to the forum and am an author on dreams and mysticism best known for Ariadne's Book of Dreams, Warner Books and...

Hi Maurice, ... Undoubtedly, the simple name is used in 20:26-28 because the character had already been specified as "called Didymos" in 20:24, and there was...
Top of the season to you Ariadne … Further to your recent post, indeed, most people read Thomas while necessarily assuming that "the name of the person who ...
... I personally don't find the notion that Jesus was a twin particularly ... myth, this would mean that said twin was also conceived by the Holy Spirit and...
... Sorry, Maurice, but you're misquoting me here. I was referring only to the specific tri-form name used in Coptic Thomas. I have no idea about any general...
... Still can't locate the reference to this, but with respect to DIDYMOS, a simple Greek dictionary indicates that it can mean 'double' or 'two-fold', which...
Thank you Mike if you run across the etymology interpretation you were refering to let me know. I found Westcotts reference to the number 5, which does...
... I assume you mean April DeConick, who is currently a Professor at Rice University, seeing this sounds like her work. If this is who you mean, I am not...
In support of the theory that Matthew used Mk and Th as sources and that Luke used Mk, Th and Mt as sources, I offer the following argument regarding Mt...

Hi Maurice, I agree that the one who is praised is not the author of the Gospel and that a great deal of mystery lies within tri-fold name that could be...
A topic that is somewhat related to the most recent discussions on this list is the subject of nicknames. In various places in the New Testament (and outside...
Hi Kevin- You mentioned ... ... I think you might have this name mixed up with 'Barabbas', which could, I suppose, be taken to mean 'son of the father', but...
April DeConick's book _The Original Gospel of Thomas in Translation_ has been out in paperback for a couple of months now, and I was at long last able to...
Hi Mike. For what it's worth, I much prefer your characterization of this logia as Irony, and think your take is the more correct. For me the statement is...
Hi Ron, L105 "He who *will* know the father and the mother will be called 'the son of (the?) harlot'." There is the possibility that what is being addressed...
Hi Toli, There is of course, reference in Jewish writings to the Shekina- the presence of God in a kind of light display or glory- said to have departed from...
Sorry. I accidentally chooped the last part of my post of fwhen I was editing out Toli's post. The last line should read at the end - "comprehensive redaction...
Paterson Brown (with whom I have had a long internet acquaintance, and who is, I believe, a member of the group) has informed me that he has created and posted...
... Sorry, I meant 'hypostrophes'. There's about 500 of these in the text, many of which are "slipped overstrokes", i.e., they follow a letter which should be...
I know many of you are busy, if not on vacation, this weekend, but I'm rather excited about some test changes I've uploaded to my website, and I'm anxious to...
A slight change from the testing procedure outlined in the earlier note: a "Testing" line has been added below the normal index of sayings numbers on my...
Hi Mike! I like the revisions you are thinking of making. The usage of 79:1, 79:2, etc. is becoming more prevalent now and I think that (if it isn't already)...

Hi Frank, thanks for your response. First, a minor correction. You mention the "... usage of 79:1, 79:2, etc...." for sub-sayings. I've never seen it with a...
Hi Mike! Thanks for the information on cwwe. I notice that, in the IQP's attempt to convert the Coptic to Greek, they use agron for cwwe in 78.1. Is cwwe,...

... Yep, but the third letter of the Coptic word is that 'W' with a tail on it, which is an 'sh' sound. The standard GThomas transliteration scheme would...
Hey Mike- I haven't gone through your new revision line-by-line, by any means, but I REALLY like the new format. Good Job, and do not quit. Rick Hubbard Humble...
