I don't know enough about that. Oh, okay.

So you have these other... So you're just saying some wild stuff in the name of God. Yeah. So it's 114 sayings of Jesus talking to his disciples. And it's pretty early. It's our earliest... But written by a guy who's never met Jesus or any of his disciples? Yeah, pretty conclusively. The Gospel of Thomas was not written by Thomas the disciple.

But these other groups appropriate the names of the disciples to give credibility to their theology. So that's where you get Gospel of Peter, Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Mary, Gospel of Judas. It's these other groups in the subsequent centuries, and they read back their theology onto the lips of Jesus in order to validate.

That's your pseudonym? No. You're Mark Twain? I'm Mark Twain. Nice. Noah was a New York Orthodox who did that. And so the pseudepigrapha are a group of writings that are associated with names that we know wasn't written. So Enoch is Noah's great-great-grandfather. Right. So the book of Enoch we know isn't necessarily... It doesn't come from that time frame because that would be like... pre-flood.

Yeah. Enoch's very interesting. There's actually three Enochs, first, second, and third Enoch. And the only one that really has any kind of credibility is First Enoch. But even then, what we call First Enoch is a collection of different, so we have fragments in Aramaic and Greek in the Dead Sea Scrolls, but then we have later ones in Coptic.
