TWIN

“"And he (a bridegroom) saw the Lord Jesus in the likeness of the apostle Judas Thomas, who shortly before had blessed them and departed from them, conversing with the bride, and he said to him: 'Didst thou not go out before them all? How art thou now found here?' But the Lord said to him: 'I am not Judas who is also Thomas, I am his brother.' "” Acts of Thomas 1:11

Thomas is described as, “Twin brother of Christ, apostle of the Most High, and fellow initiate into the hidden word of Christ, who dost receive his secret sayings...” This notion is reiterated once again in a Coptic text quoted in Baigent, et. al.’s The Messianic Legacy (sequel to Holy Blood, Holy Grail), where Jesus says, “Greetings Thomas [Twin], my second Messiah.”

“Jesus said to His disciples, Compare me to someone and tell Me whom I am like.

Thomas said to Him, Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of saying whom You are like.”

Perhaps Thomas’ reply to Jesus’ question, “tell me whom I am like”, is a hint that it was Thomas himself whom he was like, because they were twins.

We learn from both The Acts of Thomas and the apocryphal Gospel of Thomas that this disciple’s full name was “Judas Thomas.” A Judas is mentioned in the Canonical gospels as the brother of Jesus and it seems pretty clear that he and Thomas are the same.

Is not this the woodworker's son? Is not his mother named Mary? and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Mt 13;55

Thomas Didymus literally means Thomas the twin. In fact both Thomas and Didymus mean "twin".

Didymus is the Greek word for 'twin' and is used in the Gospel of John11.16; 20.24; 21.2 to explain Thomas, which is the Aramaic word for 'twin' (t'oma).

The name "Didymus Judas Thomas" -- "Twin Judas Twin" -- emphatically refers to that blood brother.

In Syriac Christian tradition he is identified with the 'Judas not Iscariot' who belonged to the company of the Twelve: in the Old Syriac Gospels the question of John 14.22 (Master, how is it that you will reveal yourself clearly to us and not to the world?) is said to have been put to the Lord by 'Judas Thomas'." (F. F. Bruce; Jesus and Christian Origins Outside the New Testament, p. 112)

The reputed (and possibly actual) author of the Gospel of Thomas was Judas, the twin brother of Jesus.

Jesus having a twin brother of course would be completely in line with Enki being the twin brother of Enlil and Ahura Mazda being the twin brother of Ahriman, only this time it was not an evil twin but one, who in spite of being his twin-brother (try to imagine), still was able to call Christ his master.

There is a village and church in France at Rennes-le-Chateau, which once was a strong-hold for a group of Gnostic-Christians, called the Cathars, which is a old Catholic name for heretics. In the chapel devoted to Mary Magdalene can still be seen the figures of Joseph, and the Virgin Mary, each one holding a baby - twins!

This chapel was restored by Bérenger Saunière a French priest who alledgedly discovered some perkaments that were hidden under the altar stone, containing secrets the Catholic Church alledgedly didn't want to be known.

One of these secrets would have been that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, which according to some is also stated in the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and the Gospel of Philip where it is said that Jesus used to kiss Mary. It does not say where he kissed her, the piece of text is missing, but it told that he kissed her on the ... mouth? - so they must have been married. Big Deal! He used to kiss John too, which by others is explained as an homosexual act. No, Jesus was not married to Mary Magdalene. He liked her very much, and probably loved her, but that was it. The question asked by the disciples, why Jesus frequently used to kiss her , should tell you something. If he really was married to her, that would be a dumb question.

Saunière however, became a very wealthy man which enabled him to build a Villa, a Tower of Magdalene, a road to the village and restore the chapel.
