>>14929449Again, neat thread OP!
Here's another image of the two angels in Christ's tomb after His resurrection.
As John records, Mary Magdalene is the one who sees them.
Often wonder if those "angels" are what folks today refer to as, "aliens".
Imagine that...?
Anyways, here's another "two angels with Mary in Christ's tomb" image.
>>14929457>Im sceptic of the un canonical gospels, mainly the gnostic one.That's cool and understandable.
Have personally noticed numerous correlations between the various Gospels, as noted in the image above, both the canonical ones and non-canonical ones.
And it's worth acknowledging that many of those "non-canonical" Gospels might not be in The New Testament because folks at the time were not aware of them. This is a possibility.
Personally don't like that "Gnostics" somehow claimed ownership over texts that they themselves had no idea existed throughout the centuries!
If the texts are clearly written about Jesus Christ, then they should be classified as "Christian".
Also, most of those texts referred to as "Gnostic" only appeared ~100 or so years ago, they were discovered in some cave, if recalling correctly, so once again, it's quite reasonable to think that perhaps some of them were not included in The New Testament (as it is now), is because they were not known at the time?
And again: the Islamic invasions really destroyed a great world of Christiantiy, and it's plausible those "Nag Hammadi" texts were hidden from those early Muslim invaders.
Sure, some of those Nag Hammadi texts have strange tales that -- again -- arguably drift into Platonic philosophy, and it's understandable many folks are uncomfortable reading them.
Did not mean to offend anyone with sharing that image.
Simply thought it quite fascinating to observe a relationship between John's Gospel, and the one attributed to Mary.
When taken together, it seems fair to say the the story Mary recalls of Jesus was quite possible shared with her after His resurrection.
