They found a letter to James, apparently from Jesus.

Normally I don't get caught up in this kind of stuff. Usually I'll just assume that it's fake. But I'll admit, this one was intriguing. It's not a sermon, in fact it's not teaching any doctrines at all. It's a heartfelt personal letter to His brother.

Maybe it's just somebody trying to make a buck. A letter by Jesus would fetch a nice chunk of change these days. In fact, it would probably be preferable that it didn't teach any doctrines. Maybe it's setting up a greater hoax later on. This video was not done by Christians, so it sometimes has a secular tone.

I don't know what the rules are on you tube videos, so I'll just post it. If the video gets deleted, you can watch it on Joe Rogan under this title.

I don't know about the video as I could only watch parts, but the document in the video is a 5th century papyrus fragments of the IGT found about a year ago.

Hey John.

If that's true, that would throw a wrench into the machinery.

The video said that they carbon dated the papyrus to about thirty to sixty A.D., if my memory serves me correctly.

Do you have a link for that info?

I was just speaking of the picture in the video :

Early Copy of Infancy Gospel of Thomas Identified

The scholars date the papyrus to the fourth or early fifth century, making it the oldest known copy of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas.
