That's why they were left out.
I think you kind of missed my point which is that (some at least) of the "lost gospels" portray the God of the old testament as a lesser god (and something of an aberration) in the scheme of the ultimate creator(referred to in the Gospel of Thomas as Barbelo).
I am making no claim that this perspective is valid or not, however, it does address the nagging feeling that some have expressed and which I have felt, that the God of the Christian scriptures seems to demand devotion rather than inspire it.
I find it very interesting that this was a topic of debate in very early Christianity (though this dissident view was ultimately suppressed) by the powers that be in those days.
Before I became a Christian, I had this notion the God was out to get me: to PUNISH me for the things I'd done wrong.
To ZAP me for the laws i'd scorned.
After all, the popular media siad this was how He(she?) was.
Even after beCOMING a Christian, that notion was STILL there!
But I can to realize that was a strawman; put in place by one who DIDN'T want me to know God's love.

I'd call it an incorrect view more than dissident.
