I am British and am Gnostic in faith, also i am a member of the Hereditary Knights Templar of Britannia. I have studied a large majority of gospels and testaments that have been omitted from the Holy Bible. And as a part of that learning have understood so much more and enlightened with answers i had always searched for. The New Testament as we know it is so very limited, but upon reading other gospels found and translated which i believe are now up to 48 in number, it opens up a new light. EG Gospel Of Thomas (or doubting Thomas as he was called, in which alone was the only disciple to actually write a whole testament in jesus`s own words) Jesus said: "The Kingdom of heaven/God, is inside you and all around you, not in mansions built with wood or stone. Split a piece of wood and you will find me, lift a rock, and i am there" This gospel in particular is really most crucial than any other as Thomas only wrote down what he heard Jesus speak. But this gospel is not accepted in the catholic church and is declared as heresy. Personal belief is the vatican rejected such profound words, that if allowed to be authenticated and accepted . the whole catholic foundations and its church and vatican which have the highest power as we know, would all be undermined by jesus saying the mansions built are places where i am not only around but that i am inside you and all around you, suggesting that Jesus was saying Heaven is within us all God is within us all and all that is ..all we see that has come from earth and this world is all of gods kingdom. As it says in the bible when challenged by the priests about destroying the temple and jesus then said " I will build it again in 3 days..they scoffed at such a unbelievable quote. But we all understand that when he was talking of the temple being destroyed and rebuilding it in 3 days he was talking of himself he was the temple as we all are and he wud rebuild in 3 days he was saying he would ressurect in 3 days and he did.. .. my strongest prayer that i would tell myself would be that of Somehow ,and Someone collecting the scripts of unacknowledged gospels and texts and as we do with dictionaries, edit the holy bible and incorperate these as we live through time and as new ones are translated and more found. But sadly i doubt it would be accepted by most faiths of cristianity.. but for me, i have most of them and i believe so far into myself that I know I myself pray to god whos name true is I AM THAT I AM , is part of me and im one of his temples and he dwells inside me and all around.. love and peace to all
