| | A Gospel of Barnabas and Gospel of Bartholomew are condemned in the decree of Pope Gelasius. | | | This gospel makes Mary leave the temple in her 14th year; according to the gospel next described, where the narrator is represented as the Son of Mary Himself, she left the temple in her 12th year, having lived in it nine years. | | | In all of the gospels of this class it is noteworthy that considering the desire of the writers of non-canonical gospels to multiply miracles, no notice is taken of the period in the life of Christ that intervened between his twelfth year and his thirtieth. |

| | The Coptic Church |
| | The ancient Egyptian searching mind was always exploring the domain of religion, and ultimately arrived at certain tenets and beliefs, which were later identified with the theory and sublime teachings of the Christian religion. | | | Three liturgies are used in the Coptic Church, the Liturgy of St. Cyril, the Liturgy of St. Basil and the Liturgy of St. Gregory. | | | The Coptic Church is experiencing this century quite a significant revival in many aspects of its life: in its ministry both at home and abroad, in education, and in ecumenism. |

| | THE EGYPTIAN COPTIC ORTHODOX CHURCH |
| | The Coptic Church was not part of the Council of Chalcedon, which took place in 451 AD, and the teaching of the council was refuted and unaccepted by the Patriarch Dioscorus of Alexandria. | | | Asceticism in the Coptic Church is not a goal in itself that believers desire to attain, but it is a practical response to divine love. | | | The Coptic Church was accused of following the teaching of Eutyches, who believed in Monophysitism. |

| | A large number of the sayings of The Gospel of Thomas have parallels in the gospels of the New Testament, in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), as well as the Gospel of John (parallels with the latter are especially striking: cf., e.g., sayings 13, 19, 24, 38, 49, 92). | | | The Coptic Gospel of Thomas was translated from the Greek. | | | Fragments of this gospel in the original Greek version are extant in the Oxyrhynchus Papyri 1, 654 and 655, which had been discovered and published at the beginning of this century, but were identified as parts of The Gospel of Thomas only after the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library. |

| | Two versions of the suppressed Coptic Gospel of the Egyptians (which is quite distinct from the Greek Gospel of the Egyptians), were among the codices in the Nag Hammadi library, discovered in 1945. | | | A sub-title the text appears to have in addition to Gospel of the Egyptians, is The Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit. | | | The main contents concern the sethian gnostic understanding of how the earth came into being, how Seth, in the gnostic interpretation, is incarnated as Jesus in order to release people's soul's from the evil prison that is creation. |

| | The gospel of Thomas & its late dating |
| | And the gospel of Thomas is dependent on the canonical (and uncanonical, such as 'of the Egyptians'!) gospels (more to come!) and with some logions (and the prologue) calling for its composition/compiling done anytime from the very end of the 1st century to the beginning of the 2nd. | | | Also to be considered: the 'Gospel of the Hebrews', written around 100, also has James as a follower; furthermore, he is the beneficiary of a post-mortem reappearance by his brother. | | | But in 2nd century Christian writings, Salome has become a close disciple of Jesus, as evidenced in the 'Gospel of the Egyptians' (100-150?) (and also mentioned in the 'Infancy gospel of James' (140-170) where she confirms Mary's virginity (after the birth) by "testing"). |
