The Church has declared them the word of God, and I accept it. The Jews do not accept any Tanakh except the Torah as the word of God, by the way. All other books are the words of men.

So are you now saying the other books of the OT are not the word of God?

The Jews are spiritually blind.. they do not see Christ.. who is revealed in all those books..

The travels of St. Thomas to India and the establishment of Christianity on its west coast. Was St. Thomas scripturally established as an evangelist to the Gentiles in India?

And? Apparently God did not think it something that was necessary for us the know that to be saved..

So do you think the gospel of Thomas is scripture?

Anti Semitic, too? In that case, I am not too put out that you have renounced your Catholicism.

We were discussing that extent of sola scriptura beliefs that are actually non scriptural. St. Thomas' story is one of the many. To the extent that the sola crowd actually deigns to address all of their non scriptural beliefs.

Does the Gospel of Thomas include descriptions of his travels? It sounds interesting. I’ve just read little chunks of it.
