Keith Giles Presents The Quantum Sayings of Jesus: Decoding the Lost Gospel of Thomas - 3

...We do not need to starve ourselves to gain God’s favor. God’s favor is already showered upon every single one of us. We are all dearly loved by our Heavenly Father whose love for us is beyond comprehension or measure. Fasting is also a way of pulling back from the problem for which we seek resolution, laying it all at God’s feet. If God does not do something, we assume, then nothing good will happen. But this assumption is completely false. God does not do anything apart from us. We are God’s hands. We are God’s feet. We are God’s presence. We are God’s ambassadors. As the ancient hymn by St. Teresa of Avila says, 

“Christ has no body now but yours.” 

His disciples said to him, ‘On what day will the repose of the dead come about, and on what day will the new world come?’ He said to them, ‘That which you look outward for has already come, but you do not recognize it.”

According to the Words of Jesus, as written by the Disciple Thomas, and as Decoded by Keith Giles, et.al., all that we have all been looking for, has been available to us immediately upon the death of Jesus and His Resurrection... And, He had told all of His disciples of this fact, "but you did not recognize it..."

What would our world have been like at this point, over 2000 years later, if His words had been recorded and provided to all of us at that time? On the other hand, throughout these years, many have written either through further research or as each has been led to try to share what they believed... On another hand, the world itself has grown from a struggling primitive land into large cities, many scientific advancements, and better health for many of our countries, which has not spread only because of the government leaders made other choices contrary to what was asked by Jesus the Son of God, who died for all of us...

Over my many years I have read books by those who were agnostic, but doing the necessary work to find his Truth, or those who have had supernational experiences and wrote to share what had happened to them. And, there have been others who have taken the Bible, used their extensive research and arrived at either confirmation or differences of opinion of what was to become their Truth... I have read all of them eagerly and even had read a copy of the Book of Thomas which was published, much like the listing provided in the video on Page 2 of this Post...

For me, after discovering and experiencing the many God Incidents I had found after reading still another book explaining what happened to a woman when her husband died, I have formed a closer relation with God than ever before. But it was this book's commentary which was so well researched and presented that I was able to completely understand both where I was confused about issues that had troubled me; but, also, gained insight into issues that bothered me, but that I had not yet found understanding. For me, this is perhaps, at least as of today, the most important book I've ever read.

Giles has complete and full skills by which he has come to a exploratory statement on each Saying--which are over 100--and takes his readers through his own confusion as well as the other books he has read to help him clarify what has informed his present opinion--and this book. These commentaries were powerful messages in themselves. I often found myself going back to read the original saying and then rereading Giles and vice versa until I, too, agreed with his outcome... I think there was only one that I remained a little confused and, possibly, unsure, that this was a correct interpretation of what Jesus was saying...

I chose to read one or two sayings each day, so that I could spend time needed... As time passed, I decided to go ahead and finish the book so I could post my review. I found, however, that by reading straight through about the second half of the book, that I was able to retain and continue on much more easily and actually better grasp what was said... I noted that there seemed, to me, a build up of the lessons to be learned in this book--I picked this up by listening to a video which can be found, also, on Page 2, that were definitely not in the same order. I have no idea whether Giles made his own decisions on how the sayings should be presented; however, to me, the book as presented by Giles seemed to reflect a chapter buildup, much like a novel would lead to a climatic ending... Whether intended or not, if you can, I would recommend a straight read of the book if your time permits...

Unfortunately, this book will not be for everyone. I can only explain by pointing out that if you have chosen to read only the Bible as your only source of enrichment of God's role in your lives, you may not comprehend what Jesus God has avaiable to each of us, if we but listen and Hear Him... Only each of us can determine whether you wish to learn more about God in our lives. I know the word I want to use, but some will automatically take a politic meaning, which it is not meant to... However, I consider both Giles and his book a progressive message to all who have been working to learn more, and, who, like me, needed assistance from other readers to help us through the mystery of God's Words... I'm including a couple of short sentence excerpts to help you decide... If you want to learn more

None of us exists apart from an inseparable connection with the Divine.

 “we are all filled with the fullness of Christ” whether we know it or not. Our Oneness with Christ is what makes us One with everyone else. Whether we are “chosen,” “called out,” “sent out,” or “set apart” changes nothing about our fundamental Oneness with God through Christ—our inseparable Oneness with all of creation through Christ.

Let's get very specific. This book includes everyone, without exclusions of anybody based upon race, religion, or any other thing that we try to say that God is against... One idea comes through clearly. Everybody comes from God and everybody returns to God...

If you are ready, this book may be just, as it was for me, the best book you've ever read. If none of what I wrote or shared on the 3 pages is understood, I encourage you to not get it and then call it a book of lies with a bad rating... For once in your life, listen to God within you, as to whether you are ready to read this book... This is my personal recommendation based upon the world we live in...
