As I was perusing my own work, I found the following:
"When Christ commanded charity for his least ones,he made no exceptions for
traitors.Nor did he make exceptions in his prayer for all those involved in his
execution....Elain Pagels finds similar ideas in the apocryphal Gospel of
Philip, especially the notion that one is to become not merely a Christian but
another Christ(Origin of Satan 73). She believes that this is 'the symbolic
meaning of attributing the Gospel of Thomas to Jesus' 'twin brother'' (Orig.
Satan 73)."
