Thank you for the link, Steve.
No problem. I always "labeled" Jesus as a Buddhist... though both
Buddhists and Christians are also labeled as Chanists... Oh, on second
thought, perhaps I may just have to abandon all the labels, after all
spirituality and labels are in two different realms.

Thank you for sharing all these posts. I have learned. A bow to you....

Hi JM. Here's a decent translation.

I must warn you that gnostic documents are very obscure in the way
that Hindu and Buddhists Tantras are. Everything is symbolic. It may
surprise you to know that I don't believe that there ever was an
actual historical Jesus. In my opinion, what we call Christianity
today is a garbled and deliberately corrupted version of what was
originally what scholars call a Mystery Religion. By the way, I do
not necessarily endorse every saying in the document.
