Becoming Christians

God is a dyer. Like the good dyes – they’re called true – die with what’s been dyed in them, so it is with those who were dyed by God. Because his dyes are immortal, they become immortal by means of his colors. But God baptizes in water.

It’s impossible for anyone to see anything that really exists unless they become like them. It’s not like the person in the world who sees the sun without becoming a sun, and who sees heaven and earth and everything else without becoming them. That’s the way it is. But you’ve seen something of that place, and have become them. You saw the Spirit, you became spirit; you saw Christ, you became Christ; you saw [the Father, you] will become father. Because of this, [here] you see everything and don’t [see yourself], but you see yourself [there], because you’ll [become] what you see.

Faith receives; love gives. [No one will be able to] 62 [receive] without faith, and no one will be able to give without love. So we believe in order that we may receive, but we give in order that we may love, since anyone who doesn’t give with love doesn’t get anything out of it. Whoever hasn’t received the Lord is still a Hebrew.

The apostles before us called (him) “Jesus the Nazarene Messiah,” that is, “Jesus the Nazarene Christ.” The last name is “Christ,” the first is “Jesus,” the middle one is “the Nazarene.” “Messiah” has two meanings: both “Christ” and “the measured.” “Jesus” in Hebrew is “the redemption.” “Nazara” is “the truth.” So “the Nazarene” is “the truth.” “Christ” is the one who was measured. “The Nazarene” and “Jesus” are the ones who were measured.

A pearl doesn’t become less valuable if it’s cast down into the mud, nor will it become more valuable if it’s anointed with balsam; but it’s valuable to its owner all the time. That’s what it’s like with God’s children: no matter where they are, they’re still valuable to their Father.

If you say, “I’m a Jew,” no one will be moved. If you say, “I’m a Roman,” no one will be disturbed. If you say, “I’m a Greek,” “a Barbarian,” “a slave,” [“a free person,”] no one will be troubled. [If] you [say,] “I’m a Christian,” the […] will tremble. If only [… of] this kind, this one [who …] won’t be able to endure [hearing] his name.

God is a human-eater. 63 Because of this, the human is [sacrificed] to him. Before the human was sacrificed, animals were sacrificed, because those to whom they were sacrificed weren’t gods.

Vessels of glass and pottery come into being by means of fire. But if glass vessels break they’re remade, because they came into being by means of a breath, but if pottery vessels break they’re destroyed, because they came into being without breath.

A donkey turning a millstone traveled a hundred miles. When it was released, it still found itself in the same place. Many people travel, but don’t get anywhere. When evening came, they saw neither city nor village, nor anything created or natural, nor power nor angel. The wretches worked in vain.

The Eucharist is Jesus, because in Syriac he’s called “Pharisatha,” that is, “the one who’s spread out,” because Jesus came to crucify the world.

The Lord went into Levi’s place of dyeing. He took seventy-two colors and threw them into the vat. He brought all of them out white and said, “That’s the way the Son of Humanity has come [as] a dyer.”

The Wisdom who is called “the barren” is the Mother [of the angels] and [the] companion of the [… Mary] Magdalene [… loved her] more than the disciples [… he] kissed her on her [… many] times. The rest of […] 64 […] they said to him, “Why do you love her more than all of us?” The Savior said to them in reply, “Why don’t I love you like her? When a person who’s blind and one who sees are both in the dark, they’re no different from one another. When the light comes, the one who sees will see the light, and the one who’s blind will remain in the dark.”

The Lord said, “Blessed is the one who exists before existing, because they who exist did exist, and will exist.”

The superiority of humanity isn’t revealed, but exists in what’s hidden. So it (humanity) masters animals that are stronger, that are greater in terms of that which is revealed and that which is hidden. This allows them to survive; but if humanity separates from them (the animals), they kill, bite, and eat each other, because they didn’t find food. But now they’ve found food because humanity has worked the earth.

If someone goes down into the water and comes up without having received anything, and says, “I’m a Christian,” they’ve borrowed the name at interest. But if they receive the Holy Spirit, they have the gift of the name. Whoever has received a gift doesn’t have it taken away, but whoever has borrowed it at interest has to give it back. That’s what it’s like when someone comes into being in a mystery.

Notes on Translation
Pages 64 and 65: intimate. Literally, koinōnia, also translated as “communion” or “fellowship.” However, the word is also “a favorite expr[ession] for the marital relationship as the most intimate betw[een] human beings.” William F. Arndt and F. Wilbur Gingrich, A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, Fourth Revised and Augmented Edition (The University of Chicago Press), 1952, p. 439.

“God is a human-eater. 63 Because of this, the human is [sacrificed] to him. Before the human was sacrificed, animals were sacrificed, because those to whom they were sacrificed weren’t gods.” … I honestly don’t know about this, but I have heard the concept before – Christians are cannibals bc they eat Jesus’ body when they do communion, although it’s completely symbolic. But I see where they get the idea from. I guess I’ll be digging more into this…

hope you have a great day!
