Gentiles, Hebrews, and Christians

From the Gospel of Thomas page 51: Gentiles, Hebrews, and Christians. A Hebrew creates a Hebrew, and those of this kind are called "a proselyte." But a proselyte doesn't create another proselyte. They're like … and they create others … it's good enough for them that they come into being.

The slave seeks only freedom; they don't seek their master's property. But the son isn't just a son; he claims his father's inheritance for himself. Those who inherit the dead are themselves dead, and they inherit the dead. Those who inherit the living are themselves alive, and they inherit both the living and the dead. The dead can't inherit anything, because how can the dead inherit? If the dead inherits the living they won't die, but the dead will live even more! A gentile doesn't die, because they've never lived in order that they may die. Whoever has believed in the Truth has lived, and is at risk of dying, because they're alive since the day Christ came. The world is created, the cities gentrified, and the dead carried out.

When we were Hebrews, we were fatherless, we had only our mother. But when we became Christians, we gained both father and mother.
