I've read the Gospel of Thomas, if that's what you mean. Also the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. They're two different apocryphal books.

Yes all 114 verses.
EDIT: It's the 114 best quotes of Jesus. No stories, no other characters. The copy from The Nag Hammadi library was more complete than some confirmed first century documents that were to damaged to be legible. Those documents had enough text on them to confirm they are a copy of the Gospel that predates the other Gospels that are included in the current Bible. Many quotes are used in both the book of Mark and Luke in fact every quote that appears in both Mark and Luke is in Thomas showing that they used Thomas as a source so anyone saying they aren't inspired by the Holy Spirit doesn't know anything about them.
Blessed Be!

Yes--very enlightning! I also highly recommend Elaine Pagel's book Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas.

I have the entire Nag Hamadi library. What is your questions? Why do you want to know? Did I just read a woman say these are the best quotes of Jesus? So you believe that the only way that Jesus could have Mary go to heaven was to make her a man. Pretty mysoginist. You read it how many times?

Yes I have read it. It contains stories that could never have happened as a way of illustrating Gnostic beliefs. Elaine Page tries to make it a realistic Gospel, but her logic often fails to convince.

Parts but books were taken out of the bible for a reason.

Yes.
I wrote a 100-page commentary on it.

Possibly. It was not put in the Bible because it showed Jesus as a human being with sexual drives, is that correct?
