yup, you are right. But i am actually highlighting on the point
that those gospels that surface later, could be due to reasons like
percecution from the "norm" christians, or that they could be
fleeing from the country etc.
Also, their followers could, after reading what the compiled text
were, felt that it is NOT exactly correct, and intends to bring to
light certain issues which could be distorted by the compilers of
the OT or NT.
Anyway, i just felt that the immediate stance by the high echeleons
of Christianity to immediately dismiss these gospels are being very
narrow-minded.
Well, it could well turn out that the gnostic gospels are THRASH or
rubbish, but before that is ascertained, they should at least keep
a moderate stance just in case something like the "inquisition" or
the "earth is flat" thing comes again....by then the Christians
will feel like "what a fool i am".
I mean, dont they learn from the lesson of the "earth is flat"?
