there is a difference in knowledge and Gospel. and some of the knowledge in the apocrapha aint Gospel.
The Bible does mention a few add-ons, such as the Book of Enoch which is fascinating.

i hear you
whoever mentioned Constantine made me think of 'some' of the arbitrary nature of what was included/excluded in the 'official' version...
but along the lines of what you said re: the growth with you/etc., I do believe the truth echoes from within, so i never get hung up on the fact....
but hey, sometimes i think it takes a 'mary magdalene' gospel to bridge the gap to a greater path.
I definitely have an affinity for Thomas though to be honest -- but I get where there are concerns with how it could be interpretted.
