Hinduism_ A Christian Heresy

Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 244
This also explains the apparent confusion between who the Manicca
Vachagar was.
St. Thomas was in later years presented as the proponent of Gnosticism.
There had been contact between the Gnostic church in Persia and Hindu
Church of India. This explains the coming of Manicean to India and
converting the Catholic Christians back to Hinduism. The third century
Gospel of Thomas simply was an expression of what people knew of the
St.Thomas Churches in Hindu land. Today we have the Gnostic writings
of Nag Hamadi as evidence to it. All these are late second century or
third century writings. However the oldest of the Nag Hamadi Thomas
parchments which dates much further back consist of “Thus saith
Jesus”. Here is the quote from it.
“Yeshua says: If those who would lead you, say to you: Behold the
sovereignity is in the sky, then the birds of the sky would precede
you. If they say to you: It is in the sea, then the fish (of the sea)
would precede you. But the Sovereignty (of god) is within you and
is without you. {Those who come to recognize themselves shall find
it, and when you come to recognize yourselves} then you shall know
that you are the Sons of the Living Father. Yet if you do not
recognize yourselves then you are impoverished and you are in
poverty.
Thomas was later given the secret of who Jesus was:
13 Yeshua says to his Disciples: Make a comparison to me, and tell me
whom I resemble || Shimon Kefa says to him: Thou are like a righteous
angel. || Matthew says to him: Thou are like philosopher of the heart. ||
Thomas says to him: Teacher, my mouth will not at all be capable of
saying whom thou are like.|| Yshua says: I am not your teacher, now that
thou have drunk, thou have become drunken from the bubling spring
which I have measured out. And he takes him, be withdraws, he speaks
three words to him: I-Am Who I-Am
