Jesus' relationship with women
Book Of Thomas
Book of Thomas
Have any of you researched the Book of Thomas which recounts Jesus' relationship with women? By this I mean his interaction as a Teacher among women. I say this because in Judaism of the time such associations with single women who claimed discipleship was forbidden. There is actually one part where it said that Jesus kisses Mary (where is unknown, but it assumed it is on her mouth / cheek). What are your thoughts?

Is this the same text as found in https://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html

| THE GNOSTIC SOCIETY LIBRARY The Nag Hammadi Library The Gospel of Thomas |
I am not familiar with these writings but am interested in the question posed. I did a search and am not sure if we are talking about the same thing. Is the text that you refer to online?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, a whole seperate religion has come about because of these words, but I do not want to go there. You will notice this:
| QUOTE (From site linked above) |
| [Saying probably added to the original collection at a later date:] 114. Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life." |
I was mentioning this in the 'Mormons & Nag Hammadi' Thread that the problem with these texts is they seem to be altered from the original intention or copied over with additions.

Jesus Kissing a Woman?!?!? Inconceivable! 
, just kidding, Yes, my wife and I have studied this topic and the mentioned books. An excellent one to read is the Gospel of Mary of Magdala. Very good. Goes deeper into the relationship between Christ and Mary as well as the jealousy of the men toward Mary.

Comments: The stories in the Infancy Book of Thomas are too far fetched to be believed. It actually portrays Jesus as having a little bit of a darker side. I do not believe it was an inspired work.
