by december 1945, genocide, nukes, and an iron curtain had all appeared on Earth
then the holy SPIRIt showed us the gospel of thomas
banned by church authority for 2000 years, the Gospel of Thomas ---christ's direct message to his closest followers---was found in December 1945 in a cave in Nag Hammadi Egypt. Sadly, institutional Christianity---from the Vatican to the evangelicals---badmouths the Gospel of Thomas as "apocrypha".
Christwatch repudiates this characterization, and sees the rediscovery of the Gospel of Thomas as direct intervention in human affairs by the Holy Spirit. Mirroring the mindset of those self-serving pharisees of Christ's day, modern corporate Christianity ignores the war-driven crises in which the unveiling of Christ's message to his closest followers happened.
By December 1945, the world witnessed genocide at scale in the industrial death camps of the Nazis.
By December 1945, the world witnessed the first use of nuclear weapons, and what we now call "radiation sickness" entered the vocabulary.
By December 1945, the world witnessed Stalin standing up his Iron Curtain, and the beginning of a new "cold war".
This is the actual context of global conflict within which the rediscovery of the direct testimony of Christ occurred.
As humanity teeters on the brink of a new world war and other existential crises, Christwatch encourages self-identified Christians everywhere to study and apply the Gospel of Thomas. These 114 statements of Christ are not "gnosticism", but Christian originalism that is a game-changer in a world hell-bent on Christian extinction.
ORIGINALIST CHRISTIANITY is found only in the gospel of thomas
LET THE SEEKER CONTINUE TO SEEK UNTIL HE FINDS
Christian Originalism is found in the message of Christ contained in the 114 Statements of the Gospel of Thomas. Christwatch uses the terms "Full Stack, Standalone, Originalist" to differentiate our views from corporate Christianity, whether vatican or evangelical.
FULL STACK: By "Full Stack", Christwatch means that Gospel of Thomas originalism encapsulates the complete corpus of Christ's message to his followers. Given the corruption of Vatican authority over centuries---including in the modern age with an institutional culture of pedophile clergy---Christwatch believes Christians must openly and transparently consider researcher claims regarding the legitimacy of the New Testament and the non-existence of Christ---and address those claims by applying Christ's direct statements in the Gospel of Thomas (GTh). Any Vatican "scholar" capable of molesting a child is equally capable of falsifying the message of Christ, and/or attacking the GTh as "apocrypha".
STANDALONE: By "Standalone", Christwatch means that the Gospel of Thomas constitutes a program of Christian moral development, independent of, and unbundled from, the Old Testament. The militant polemics against "pharisees and scribes" within the Gospel of Thomas, the outright statement of Christ regarding those who "hate the tree and love the fruit", the open alignment of Christ with an anti-clergy "John the Baptist", and the powerful statement that "I shall destroy this house and no one will be able to build it"---taken together---constitute overwhelming evidence that Christ engaged in disruption of, not alignment with, the official temple Judaism of his day.
ORIGINALIST: By "Originalist", Christwatch means that self-identified Christians owe it to themselves to understand the many things revealed by Christ that are found nowhere else but the Gospel of Thomas---things particularly relevant at a time when Christians are facing economic, cultural, and political threats in the United States and around the world. Originalism celebrates the fact that Christ evangelized a Covenant of Science, encouraging his followers to remain "seekers", and to "recognize what is in your sight" as the path to uncovering "that which is hidden". Christ's seeker-first approach is key to driving the convergence of science and 'spirituality', including a detailed understanding of the material basis of divinity. Christwatch affirms that the Shroud of Turin proves the material basis of divinity, and that Christian originalism (and Christ's Science Covenant) must replace clergy-based superstition and the manipulation and grifting of the "faithful".
christ evangelized the scientific method ... with a promise to know the unknown
Christwatch EVANGELIZES Christ's covenant of science
"Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you . For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest." # 5 Gospel of Thomas
Christ's revolution was scientific in nature, never "religious".
Christian scholars tell us they interpret scripture as it was intended for the people of biblical times. In practice, this approach has rationalized centuries of clergy-promoted superstition, and the suppression of information contained within “apocrypha”---so-called non-canonical texts rejected by the Vatican.
Christwatch is founded on the belief that Christ came for the people of a future time---a time like today---when basic science literacy and universal information access can assist humanity in understanding his message. When one embraces this approach---that Christ came for the people of a future time---it becomes possible for self-identified Christians everywhere to understand the many startling facts shared with his closest followers, including Christ's explicit disclosure of the underlying material basis of divinity.
In a 21st century world where mass culture overflows with deviance and predation---while official science has been weaponized against mankind's true "seekers"---it is Christ's Covenant of Science that will enable humanity to re-ground itself and prepare for what is coming.

iT'S IN THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS
OBSERVATIONAL METHOD: STATEMENTS 5 & 6
"Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you...For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered."
APPLIED SCIENCE: STATEMENT 9
"Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them. Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed(s) and worms ate them. And others fell on the good soil and it produced good fruit: it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure."
VALIDATED PREDICTION: STATEMENT 11
"This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away."
AUTOCATALYTIC DIVINITY: STATEMENT 50
"If they say to you, 'Where did you come from?', say to them, 'We came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord and established itself and became manifest through their image.' If they say to you, 'Is it you?', say, 'We are its children, we are the elect of the living father.' If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your father in you?', say to them, 'It is movement and repose.'"
