The Flesh Came into Being because of Spirit

The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 includes scores of words of Christ Jesus as heard by somebody called Thomas.  Therefore, those words might not have precisely reflected true words or intensions of Christ Jesus, since some interpretation by Thomas should been mingled there.　

However, there are some words that cannot be ignored due to depth of the meaning of them.  One of them is as follows:

(29) Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth has made its home in this poverty."

Everybody admits that he has a body as well as a mind.  And, everybody thinks that a man was born with his body and mind.  But, it is clear to any body that a mind exists because there is a body.  The mind exists in the body or specifically in the brain because there is the body or the brain.  The mind alone cannot exist. Therefore, the body should be first generated, and then the mind comes to exist in the brain of the body.

However, the spirit or the soul is the source of the mind.  When the body or the brain is sufficiently materially/biologically formed to a certain degree enough to hold and keep work of a mind, the spirit or the soul coming from the spirit world starts to generate the human mind in the body or the brain. 

Anyway, the spirit world takes priority over the physical world.  So, it is no wonder that the mind comes into being in the body because of work of the spirit.  And, the material body itself comes into being in the material world that was originally generated by energy from the spirit world.

Put simply, every thing spiritual takes precedence over every thing material.  (The God and angels, as spiritual entities, are above material existence of human beings.) The mind is an effect of work of the spirit or the soul in the human body or brain.  So, it is difficult to comprehend objectively one's spirit or soul through the mind in the body.

It is a wonder that one's spirit or soul with the mind leaves one's body in a rare case when his body is not dead. 

Inside the body, there is the mind.  Inside the mind, there is work of the spirit or soul.  But, externally, it seems that the body generates the mind, and the mind forms the spirit or the soul.      

It is a matter for regret that the Books Canon do not include this Gospel of Thomas.  But, as the start of the end of the world, predicted as 2060 by Isaac Newton, came near, this Gospel of Thomas came to appear in 1945 probably by spiritual interference by the God or Christ Jesus.

Mark 11, King James Version

27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
