I am a direct disciple to the Christ. I wrote one of the earliest known gospels in history, which could date as early as 40 c.e. In the Canonization of the New Testament, my works were deemed heretical, though an honest investigation would suggest otherwise.
Although my Gospel contains a lot of what is already said in the canonical gospels, particularly in the Synoptic gospels, there are some of the Christs parables that have no rooting in the New Testament, as such, they are immeasurably valuable insights into the wisdom of the Christ. My Gospel was not written as a narrative as the Canon's gospels were, rather, it was a collection of 114 of the Christs parables, sometimes a dialog between him and his disciples.
Many of the mainstream Christian institutions have taken a very stark oppositional standpoint towards my Gospel, mostly due to its meanings tending to undermine the dogma in the structure and practice of todays church.There is a lot of confusion amongst many of the 114 parables I wrote down, particularly the 114th one. In parable 114 it appears that Jesus is agreeing with his disciple Peter for regarding women as lower spiritual beings to men, upon which Christ says that he will 'make her male, to resemble us males'. Looking deeply into this we can see this almost as an example of Christs sophistry. The relevance of the parable as sexism is further dismissed by parable number 22, where Jesus specifically says "[to enter the Kingdom of God] you must make the male and female one, so that the male is no longer male and the female no longer female...", where Christ readily acknowledges the androgynous spiritual consciousness, and dissolves all distinction between men and woman.
