Is there a difference between The Gospel of Thomas and the Lost Gospel of Thomas?
Answer:
No, there is no real difference between The Gospel of Thomas and The Lost Gospel of Thomas. The phrase Lost Gospel of Thomas is sometimes used in popular or scholarly works to emphasize that the text was lost to history for centuries before being rediscovered in 1945 at Nag Hammadi, Egypt. However, both terms refer to the same text: a collection of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus, written in Coptic and likely derived from earlier Greek sources.
If you encountered a specific work titled The Lost Gospel of Thomas, it may be a modern book analyzing or interpreting the text rather than the gospel itself. Let me know if you had a particular source in mind!
Gospel of Thomas 106
When you make the two [thought and emotion] into one, you will say to the mountain, Mountain move away. And the mountain will move away.
When you marry thought and emotion [in our heart], that is when you have power to speak.
Gospel of Thomas 48
Jesus said: If the two make peace with one another in this one house, they will say to the mountain: move away, and it will move away.
John 16: 23-24
Jesus said you will no longer ask me anything: my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Until now, you have not asked for anything in my name that your joy will be complete.
Gregg: This is the edited version of Thomas 106 and Thomas 48.
It’s missing the two sentences that instruct how to ask.
Jesus is explaining that when you ask with your voice, you have not asked anything in my name.
You ask with your heart, not with your mouth.
Here are the missing sentences.
1) Ask without hidden motive (judgement) and be surrounded by your answer.
2) Be enveloped (feel as if) by what you desire, that your gladness be full.

Mark 11:21-24
Peter: Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!
Have faith in God, Jesus answered.
Truly, I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, “Go, through yourself into the sea,” and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Gregg Braden: Speak to the field in the language the field recognizes and has meaning. Produce the electrical and magnetic waves.
