the gospels of  terry

 

 

 

It may seem shocking or unbelievable, but a month after my birth in 1945 the buried Gnostic documents above were unearthed in Egypt and could have been the foundation of the Holy Bible. These early blogs of guiding principles are thought by some to be written by Jesus twin brother, Thomas , and were unearthed by Mohammad Ali . Almost half of these Gnostic sayings buried for some 1400 years were similar to and written at the same time as those in the Bible, but you may find some dead links due to the current revolution in Egypt.

 

Even better are the Google digitized "Dead Sea Scrolls" that go back more than 2000 years.

Mein kampf, or my life's struggle, had just begun In November of 1945. I learned that we are all judged by our actions, just as were the Nazis whose trial had just begun  at the  Nuremberg Trials . I now own this mini  "Der Fuhrer Und Seine Heimat" book (1938, above) as one of my eBay Germany winterhilfswerk mementos (Chapter 241) . The quality of the photographs and binding are remarkable for this 73 year old text which illustrates Hitler's homeland of Austria. It's photographer, Heinrich Hoffmann was certainly proficient in his trade. 

 

 

 

 

Many important historical events that occurred in my lifetime and colored my perspective. After all, back in my gestation phase Hitler had committed suicide, Germany surrendered, World War 2 ended with the world's only known application of nuclear weapons occurred when we bombed Japan, and our struggle against Russia and the commies began. My journal of chapters reflects on this journey.

This is probably the extent of my religious views. Much of Thomas is indecipherable, like my chapters, and also like the book "Meine Kampf".  

 

There will be some doubting Thomases, so here is an example from Thomas #33  : Jesus said, "What you will hear in your ear, in the other ear proclaim from your rooftops. After all, no one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, nor does one put it in a hidden place. Rather, one puts it on a lampstand so that all who come and go will see its light."

This is consistent with the digital bible  16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light." I had used this phrase at the bottom of chapter 207 (Yiddish version) not really knowing the biblical context.

from JC  Superstar:

"Always hoped that I'd be an Apostle.

Knew that I would make it if I tried.

Then when we retire, we can write the gospels,

So thye'll still think about us when we die."
