Personally, i don't agree for the most part. Most of these books are invalid books.
Many of these "gospels" found throughout recent history has contradicting substance that implies these gospels are unrelated in origin to the original Biblical writers ( note that this is comparing about 10 recently found gospels with the well over fify books already a part of the book, that in its very best could be seen as a minor discrepency AT ITS VERY MOST; see next reason for "why")
Next reson, the time they were written were also too far from the rest of the biblical texts that they could hardly be any missing chapters to the Bible. Like any book, the chapters or parts have to be relevant and the period in which the chapters/parts were written have to be atleast remotely reasonable in its closeness in regards to the timeline. The same thing goes for the bible. I'm not speaking for every single one of the gospels, but i've read that the unincluded gospels were excluded because of the very two reasons i've stated above: major substance discrepencies and time discrepencies (to note: that many of the gospels found differed about a century in their production to the date of the relevant event..doesn't convince me to change much.)

Get real DUDE. We read other books but the bible is the best of them, I suggest you try reading it.
Start from Mark16:16 and then Acts 2:38 and then St. John 3:5

No! Because this is what God says about that.
Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Look... no one is forcing you to read the bible so leave those who do read it alone. It's your loss and our gain.

The Bible is like the best classic book ever! No way we'll ever get off it or change it.
