You are aware of the Gospel of Thomas then? I’ve also heard that there is also a book of travels, which has been left out of all versions of the bible as well. This was when Jesus a young adult, I guess you could say, and went to India, among other places.

I meant “authenticity” sarcastically, becasue the authenticity of the entire Bible can be called into question. Why these few books were stricken, I don’t know. I’m not even sure who/what made the decisions as to what got in, and what didn’t. I’m sure, if it didn’t fit w/ the Catholic ideals or whatever, it was automatically stricken, and considered heresy. You should do a post about all the diferrent versions of the Bible that are available. I know this is a really big deal for some hardcore Christians.

gregorius, if you look back carefully over my post, you will see i’m not talking about the regular gospel of thomas, i’m talking about the INFANCY gospel of thomas. two totally different things.

and if you want to believe that stuff about “authenticity” being the deciding factor for inclusion in the canon, then that’s fine. do you know how they determine authenticity? whether or not it matches what they want to teach

Apparently, the Gospel of Thomas was left out of the finished canon because there were doubts as to it’s “authenticity”. There is one section that is almost all supposed direct Jesus quotes. Here is one of my favorites:

“Why have you come out to the countryside? To see a reed shaken by the wind? And to see a person dressed in soft clothes, [like your] rulers and your powerful ones? They are dressed in soft clothes, and they cannot understand truth.”

Yes, that is a very informative website. Thanks for reminding me about it. I haven’t been there for a long time. The site owner, Pete Kirby, was a moderator in a forum I used to frequent, now he’s busy with his Christian Origins blog
