      It’s from the Gospel of St. Thomas.

        Right you are! Only drop the Saint. The Gnostics believed in self-actualization not in divine intervention.

          Yes but he’s typically referring to as St. Thomas or Doubting Thomas.

              What does that have to do with anything? It’s meant as a clarification. Catholics don’t believe that the book was actually written by him either.

                  He’s one and the same. Again, it’s for clarification. The book is supposedly written by the Thomas that was an apostle of Jesus.

                    From the wiki article: “Most modern scholars do not consider the Apostle Thomas the author of this document and the author remains unknown.”

                    Unfortunately it doesn’t look like that is very well accepted
