Didymus Judas Thomas, aka- Jude (mentioned as Jesus' brother in the Gospel may have been his twin). Both the names Didymus, and Thomas mean greek mean Twin. Which could come from the fact that the original authors so Didymus Judas, didn't know that was already say "Jude the twin" and in greek expanded on it to really get the point by adding Thomas. "The Twin Jude the Twin" lol quite the title.

Now the FUN part is watching people spin in circles to explain this away. While the gnostic texts spell out the kinship much more clearly the bible does not, but he is still mentioned in this form. And referred to as simply 'the twin'. So for ages people say what the bible REALLY meant is he was tied to Jesus, like a twin in spirit (🙄 backflips). And there are other church philosophers who concede that he is indeed Jesus' birth twin. But Jesus was conceived in the Holy Spirit, and Didymus Judas was conceived as mortal. Again....back flips to make this work, because then Mary would not have been a virgin. What DOES work and holds the same theology, is if they were both born of Joseph and only Jesus was destined to be messiah. When the baptist John blessed Jesus, there was a voice from the clouds and some sects took this to be the moment God's spirit entered Jesus. Aka Adoptionism.

(If you want to get crazy into a conspiracy theory of mine related to the resurrection-let me know. I haven't even done a tiktok on that so I might do a special YT exclusive all about it)

Thomas supposedly authored the Book of Thomas, which is a sayings Gospel and arguably is the earliest one written at possibly 70 AD (scholars debate between 70-130). You can see the sayings Jesus spoke, and how they transferred into the narrative Gospel of Mark which came a few years later as early as 74 AD.

I do think we get into this more later later but I can't remember when, but it's a great set up for when we talk about the Book (Gospel) of Thomas itself. If you like the gnostic books and fun things like this, scroll through my playlist for past ones, and subscribe for new vids!

It's so interesting to me that, I will be covering gnostic beliefs for years. Yay Ancient History!

I ask that you debate kindly. Especially if you consider yourself a Christian. Really really be open to researching this topic.

Welcome to my archive! I am posting all my videos as shorts. One by one, follow along! Especially if you haven't seen the originals and are new here. (I promise the quality and content get better as I learned more about recording and pacing)

We are getting into the deeper theological topics. Buckle in. This is not your typical religious or spiritual channel, I encourage questions and critical thought! After all THIS is the time for christian deconstruction. We love all and this is a queer space.
