that I like.

The only problem is it's not in a canonical work. It's in the Gospel of Mary, a forgery.

4:36-38
[Jesus speaking] "Those who seek Him will find Him...Do not lay down any rules beyond what I appointed for you, and do not give a law lest you be constrained by it." When He had said this, He departed.

This doesn't sound like the King James VErsion. Also, I can't take it too seriously looking at your avatar as I read it.

You ever read through the Gospel of Thomas? Good stuff.

yeah, with the wagon I'm having trouble taking myself seriously, too. I really need to invest in one of those gems.

Yeah, I'm working my way through all the major apocryphal works. Fascinating glimpse into the beliefs of different segments of the early Church.

Her avatar shows panache, which probably frightens you.

I keep meaning to read the Apocrypha, but haven't yet. Does Cougarguard count?

The Gnostic Gospels are a fascinating foray into the thought processes of early Christian sects.

The Gospels of Thomas and Mary are classic. I have not read the Gospel of Judas.

It is interesting that entire communities developed around a few concepts such gnostic "appearance", antiadoptionist, adoptionist, Cyril's dual nature etc.
