Cool story, bro. Still doesn't make this guy anything like Jesus, sorry. It's well known that Christmas isn't really Jesus' birthday. That was sometime in January or something if I am remembering correctly.
So I guess what I'm saying is...what's your point?
His name, usually written as "dumu.zi" means literally "rightful son"; Thorkild Jacobsen in his master work "The Treasures of Darkness" prefers "Quickener of the Young in the Mother´s Womb". In Hebrew and Aramaic, Dumuzi is called Tammuz in Hebrew and Aramaic.

but I already know all of that.
You must not have understood my problem. Which is mainly with your title.
You say he's the 'twin'.
So...since he isn't.
And since the only proof you have is arbitrary and vague, I asked what your point was. So sorry if that offended you or something.

Because women wept for Jesus and 1500 years earlier, some women wept for Tammuz, they are one and the same.
Geeniyus.

Thought so.
FYI Tammuz means ''twin born" and Thomas means twin in Aramaic as does his Greek epithet Didymus.
So your problem with my title stems from a lack of knowledge, not something you should have a problem with me over or my title.
Acts of Thomas calls him the twin and speaks of the fact that Thomas was given the secret teachings a la Gospel of Thomas, which also calls him twin.

One and the same? No.
As I said the Gospel authors combined the legend of the Mesopotamian Tammuz with Messianic Judaism and created the myth of Christ.
I actually do think you are a little upset about how logical it actually is and are not responding with any form of logic or reason.
You totally misinterpreted what I said because you know what I ACTUALLY said and ACTUALLY meant makes perfect sense.
But thanks for the genius compliment, although I don't agree (that I am a genius) I just enjoy learning and connecting dots. I have actually done a fine job and came up with a very original topic, not easy to do.
It's just lost on you, let me take a wild guess, you are a Catholic?

I thought Judas Thomas, called Didymus (twin), was the brother of James the Just according to the Acts of Thomas.
It really depends on which Gnostic text you pay credence to, 'cause they just can't seem to agree.
PS: hi, Gnosifaith Padawan. Been nearly a week after the last ban.

A few very tenuous similarities does not make it "logical".
A brief read of what Tammuz and Jesus were about would indicate that they were not similar.
