Gnostic red letters

I’m interested in sayings of Jesus that didn’t make it into the canon. Nag Hammadi is I’m sure our best source for various heresies. But I’m having trouble finding these things on a free internet resource. Help would be appreciated. Temerarius (talk) 02:16, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

I would start your research at the Wikipedia article titled New Testament apocrypha--Jayron32 03:04, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Temerarius -- the most famous along the lines of what you're asking is probably the Gospel of Thomas... AnonMoos (talk) 03:34, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Did you try the links in Nag Hammadi library § External links? --47.146.63.87 (talk) 08:27, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Martin Luther and soul sleep

In this article,https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Christian_mortalism#The_Reformation note 103,page 118 of Back to Hell is quoted,which in turn quotes Weimar Edition Volume 25. Which page of Weimar Edition Volume 25 is quoted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Middleman2018 (talk • contribs) 04:45, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Actually I have just removed that reference since this "Back to Hell" is a self-published book (from Xulon Press) which should not be used on Wikipedia (barring certain exceptions which do not apply here, see Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources) - Lindert (talk) 19:04, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
