What is your motive for defending a book that is not part of scripture? Are you wiser than all Christians before you? Who taught you this stuff you are spouting? Where did you learn it? I would like to know. Is your purpose to discredit Christianity and the gospels?

What is your motive for defending a book that is not part of scripture?

"America is a Christian Nation" started me down this road. Christians want to claim the moral high ground and if I'm going to be subject to Christian dogma I want to know everything I can about that dogma. I am not defending Thomas. I am not a Christian. I have lived and worked in the Holy Land. I have an interest in and am familiar with the history and cultural anthropology of the region.

Are you wiser than all Christians before you?

No. Are you wiser than all Gnostics before you?

Is your purpose to discredit Christianity and the gospels?

No. I have given you an opportunity to enlighten me. All you can reference are the writings of various evangelical Christian book sellers. Not a scientist, archeologist or historian in the bunch.

I did not reference any Dag Hammadi papyri, yet you try to refute my reference by assuming I would not know the difference. Not very honest of you I must say!
