I found them to be confirmation to what I had felt was true for a very long time. Some more than others, of course.

Suzanne, the fact that they conflict with the bible is what makes them more convincing.

I have read a little bit of the Book of Thomas. I have to get back into it. I have a link on my profile somewhere in one of my questions.

Yes, I've read them all. They confirm nothing -- in fact, they conflict entirely with the true message of the Bible.
EDIT: If you are convinced by pseudo-gospels the state gnostic truths, yet reject the very document (the Bible) that these so-called "truths" are hidden in, then you have much learning to do.

I've read the Gospel of Mary and the Gospel of Thomas. I've also read a great book on the subject by Elaine Pagels. She was one of the translators of the original Nag Hammadi texts.

I've read the writings of Irenaeus and he dispels the false doctrine of the gnostic gospels. He was taught under the teachings of Polycarp who was taught by John. These gnostic gospels are like the Dan Brown's of today - just anything they can do in rebellion against God.

I actual have a replica of the Nag Hammadi at abode, and a separate version of the Gospel of Thomas. there's a sturdy rationalization why those issues weren't blanketed and one can't say with out some verification that they are the impressive ones and the Bible is erroneous. they provide an exciting perception into the offshoot sects of early Christianity, although.

No. Those gospels are heresy. They come from the devil and not from God. That is why they are not in the Bible. The Catholic Church worked hard to destroy this evil movement in the second century.

Confirmation? You believe women don't go to heaven? - Gospel of Thomas.
Yes. I've read them. Most of them are really silly.

Yes... I've read them and like them very much, they're not unlike Buddhism in many ways. Fascinating stuff.

I had a couple of them but I lost them and I cant remember which ones I had. I think Thomas was one of them. and yes they do make a lot of sense.
