I still can not find the word 'saint' anywhere in the Bible.
Yet as regards the so called lost gospels, at the time of the gathering of the included scritpures, many false writings were being created by men,(starting about or after 90 CE), these were excluded because the authenticty of God's inspiration was obvious.
The test is that these texts do not harmonize with the known true books.

This is a Gnostic gospel thrown out as heretical, does not tell the fully revealed truth about Christ. This was because the Gnostics could not accept Christ as being truely human and truely divine.

A) A Gnostic work produced some three centuries after the death of the Apostle.
B) An apologetic for the heresy of Arianism.
C) An amusing example of one truth (the existence of Jesus) wrapped in a fairy tale, written as myth and presented as fact.

Just primitive garbage like the rest of the gospels.
Try reading Richard Dawkin's excellent book The God Delusion.
It is to the 21st century what the bible was to the dark ages!!

I think it is a 3rd century gnostic text filled with platitudes drawn from Hellenistic paganism. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's an interesting book that isn't part of the cannon of scripture. Because it's not inspired.

Christians are SCARED of them. They propose a different version of History, one that their superstition and indoctrination makes them unable to comprehend. You don`t honestly imagine that Christians research the Apocrypha do you ?

The sayings of Christ are very thought provoking.
