I meant to say...Implicit in the thinking of those who claim that "lost" Gospels would change the deposit of faith, is the notion that God could be imperfect. (i.e. he did not perfectly communicate to man through the bible and tradition, thus man alone is tasked with piecing together all these gnostic fragments to discover what He really meant)

ok, that makes a little more sense. However, it says at least two times that I know of in the bible that anyone adding to or taking away from these Holy Scriptures put themselves in jeopardy of God's judgment.
This would lead me to believe that God wanted the bible to be just as it is. Now, I think your speaking of the Apocrypha if I'm not mistaken. There are bunches of manuscripts that are worthy of reading, but they are not Holy Scripture as God breathed.
Someone more intelligent than I am could probably explain it better, this is my understanding.
