>>Wade A. Tisthammer, you wrote in part: >>> ... You've left out some words here and replaced them with ellipses, so it's difficult for me to understand what was being said here without the full context. ... <<<
..... Maybe your local librarian can help you? Anyway, there's a lot about Thomas, Gospel of, on pages 1303 and 1304 of Eerdmans. Here is a little more than I posted last time:
..... (p.1303:) The date of the Gospel of Thomas is unknown. Because it is simply a list of sayings, and because it made use of material circulating in early oral tradition, Thomas may derive from the same time as Q, ca. 50-80. Indeed, recent scholarship has shown that Q was a more organized sayings list than Thomas, a fact that hints at a somewhat later date for Q. ... - Enough?
>>> ... John 3:16, for instance, speaking of God's only begotten Son.
..... Eerdmans again, this time page 723, in part: ... Part 1 opens with a poetic prologue that relates how the Word entered the world and was rejected by many but welcomed by others who became God's children ( 1:1-18). ...
..... The New Jerusalem Bible (1985), on page 1748 under John 3:16 has "he gave his only Son", without the word begotten, and there is a marginal reference to Genesis 22 where, at 22:2, it also says "your only son".
