Most of the documents in THOMAS originate in the House and Senate, which in turn transmit them to the Government Printing Office (GPO) for printing and further electronic processing. GPO then transmits them to the Library of Congress, which performs some further processing before making them available on THOMAS. The Congressional Record is processed most rapidly. GPO processes a day's proceedings from the Senate and House overnight and usually transmits them to THOMAS by 9 a.m.

Portions of Greek versions of the Gospel of Thomas were found in Oxyrhynchus Egypt about one hundred years ago and these can be dated to about 170 A.D. or so. A complete version in Coptic (the native Egyptian language written in an alphabet derived from the Greek alphabet) was found in Nag Hammadi Egypt in 1945. That version can be dated to about 340 A.D. The Coptic version is a translation of the Greek version.

The THOMAS home page contains a search box that searches bill text (the full text of legislation) for the current Congress. Users can search by keywords or a bill number (e.g., HR 212). If you know the bill number of the bill you are searching for, type it in the box, select "bill number" and click on the search button. You will be linked directly to the text of the bill, or if there is more than one version of the bill, to a list of those versions.

Thomas Jefferson (1743/04/13-1826/07/04), United States President from March 4, 1801 to March 4, 1809, was not a freemason. On Jan. 31, 1800 he corresponded to his friend, Bishop James Madison, writing: "Barruel’s own parts of the book are perfectly the ravings of a Bedlamite" and "As Weishaupt lived under the tyranny of a despot and priests, he knew that caution was necessary even in spreading information, and the principles of pure morality.

To a Roman Catholic he reduced the influence of their Church, he took away the leadership and reduced the Monasteries to have no influence. Whether the leadership of their church was corrupt or not will not enter the heads of today's critics. To a Protestant, Henry opened the gate to their religion, even though he did not bring the Protestant movement into England he weakened the Roman Catholic Church to the extent even Mary could not restore it to the prime religion of the country.

This is a question hotly debated by scholars. Many scholars say that it was written at about the same time, even perhaps somewhat before, the gospels in the bible. Their argument is that most of the sayings in Thomas show no signs of having any dependence on, or knowledge of, the Biblical gospels and so Thomas' sayings derive from oral tradition and not from written Biblical texts.

No one knows. The four canonical gospels and Thomas and other gospels such as the Gospel of Philip (found at Nag Hammadi) were given their names some time in the second century. Scholars of the New Testament generally agree that none of the gospels were written by people who had ever met Jesus of Nazareth during his lifetime. But at a later date names were assigned to them that were associated with famous individuals in the earliest church.

We don't know how the texts in the Bible were chosen. Whatever happened occurred principally in the middle of the second century. However the choices were made, it could well have been that Thomas was unknown to those who made them. Or there might have been elements of Thomas that were distasteful to them. Or, given a preference for narrative biographical gospels, Thomas might have been thought irrelevant. We know hardly anything about the process of canonical gospel choice.

No. The biblical canon is not open for debate, it is a closed entity. A church that adds Thomas to its collection of scriptures would move outside the margins of orthodox Christianity and no well-known denomination has the slightest intention of adding Thomas to its scriptures. It is possible, of course, that a non-orthodox new denomination might arise that would include Thomas, but this hasn't yet happened.

Who knows for sure? If you take the set of sayings that are in Thomas and that are also in the gospels of Mark or Matthew or Luke (no sayings in Thomas are also in John) then you have a set of sayings that rather reliably come from Jesus. Scholars commonly are so influenced by biblical texts that they assume that any sayings in Thomas that don't sound like sayings in Matthew/Mark/Luke are therefore not sayings of Jesus.

THOMAS has the Congressional Record and full text of legislation available from 1989 (101st Congress) to the present.

Our normal practice is to update the Test ratings after each Test match (usually within 12 hours) and ODI ratings at the end of each ODI series. We try not to publish Test ratings if another Test match is currently in progress. However, if there are lots of overlapping Test matches running into each other we try to be more flexible so that the Ratings on the website don't get too out of date.
