The quest for the history of the invention of the new
and strange fourth century top-down emperor cult
known as "christianity" will not be completely understood
until the "Non Canonical Acts" (Acts of Philip, Acts of
Thomas, Act of Peter, Acts of Peter and the 12 Apostles
(NHC 6.1) etc) are preceived as Hellenic polemic written
expressly against the Bible published by Constantine.
ACTS of THOMAS (Syriac)
The Acts of Thomas starts with the apostles dividing up
the nations in the same manner as the soldiers the clothes
of Constantine's god Jesus. Thomas gets allotted the Indians
but spits the dummy. Jesus orders Thomas to accept India.
Thomas refuses. He does not want anything to do with India.
Jesus Christ settles the mutiny. He sells Thomas in the local
market place to an Indian merchant, as a slave, and signs the
bill of sale. The christian conquest of India has commenced.
Embedded inside the length text of the (Syriac) Gospel of
Thomas, is the ancient "Hymn of the Pearl", which the non
christian author sought to preserve, by placing it into the
mouth of the totally inept apostle Thomas.
NON-CANONICAL = NON CONSTANTINIAN
The Non-Canonical Acts might be appropriately described
as the Non-Constantinian Acts. The genre is a reaction
against the authority of Constantine's new fourth century
top-down emperor cult which, as Pontifex Maximus, he
was entitled to sponsor.
