You think because you make a blanket statement as being all gnostic that is the end of it!

It is not all gnostic this is done to discredit when an article like this is written instead of just including those articles that are gnostic free!

In this day and age beyond you or me much will surface for the stones cry out!

The History Channel's unending attempt to try and discredit Christianity and the Bible. They are up to it all the time. I learned long ago that if the History Channel is about to do a program on God, the Bible or Christianity..turn the idiot box off and go pray. You're better off. While they do show the positive side, they always play devil's advocate and try to cast doubt in each program.

If anyone doubts the Bible so much that they give credit to the mythical stories of the Gnostic "gospels" then they don't belong in traditional Christianity, IMO. Go join some New Age church.

Who would believe that Jesus would kill a boy by throwing him off a roof? Who would believe that the souls of Isaiah and Abraham were in Hell and that Jesus had to battle Satan over their souls? The men that canonized the Bible knew which books belonged in Scripture because the previoius fathers of the Church had handed it down to them.

There wasn't some big conspiracy to hide these gnostic books. Read the early Church Fathers and their reasons for abolishing them.
