Thomas has recorded hints for interpreting the Bible.
'''==When you make the two one'''==
When you find two things together in scripture, they are one thing. This does not mean they are the same, there is a distinction which must be made. One is of a heavenly or spiritual nature, and one is of a earthly or fleshly nature:
:Isaac and the ram as a picture of Christ
'''==When you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside'''==
There are a number of applications for this hint.
:That which is hidden in scripture must agree with that which is plain.
'''==The above like below'''==
God has revealed himself through four voices (Prophet, Priest, King, Judge). These voices not only speak from time to time throughout scripture, but they speak simultaneously through the same scripture. Every OT scripture has four legitimate meanings as each voice speaks. Most Christians have only read 1/4 of their Bible if they have read it from cover to cover.
:'''The voice of the Prophet speaks of Christ in the flesh'''
::When the final temptation of Christ came at Gethsemane, he did not want to be made to be sin ([[2Co 5:21]]) and balked from drinking of the cup placed before him ([[Lu 22:42]]; in figure, he threw the snake to the ground. But he resolved himself to follow the will of the Father and picked it up again.
:'''The voice of the Priest speaks of the eternal Son'''
That which is an earthly historical account, speaks of that which is above.
'''==Men and women the same'''==
Previously we saw that both Adam and Eve were symbols of Christ. This tells us that to understand scripture, gender has nothing to do with literal gender, they are figures used in riddle. Literally, there is no male of female in Christ ([[Ga 3:28]]). Those who legalistically apply roles to gender do not understand scripture ([[Eph 5:32 ]]).
This is also the solution to the riddle in Jeremiah that says all men will become pregnant ([[Jer 30:6]]). Women must become men, (those who are blind must see) and those who see must be fruitful and multiply (through teaching).
'''==Hands, eyes, feet and places'''==
When you understand that these things are figures, you will understand the teaching.
