Okay so I'm super late with this but it's all good. I figured I would post anyway. SO...
This is kind of off topic(ish). I just want to say that I really want to read some of these gospels that weren't included in the Bible. I mean, what if I get something good out of it? What if it answers a question better than the others? What if they could be used as a better tool to show people Christ? I realize that they went through this big long thing to decide which ones were to be included but that was back then.... they didn't even have cars.... (if that made sense to you... congratulations). I just want to read through them and have a better understanding. I don't have to believe it but like we said in class: more perspectives give a better understanding of what happened. Unless they're stupid, and I'll be the judge of that.
I remember exploring some of the other Gospels in high school, and they were pretty interesting. They had some freaky twists to the Jesus we know, and even if I choose not to agree with everything in them, they were still pretty cool to read. It's definitely helpful (in my opinion) to see their perspectives; it helped me see why they were left out.
