I've spent a little time recently reading the Gnostic Gospels, aka, the missing books of the Bible. After having read them, I now know why they were missing. They are the most non-sensical, moronic ramblings that make absolutely no sense that I've ever subjected my eyes to. Check out my "Duh-Vinci" blog below for some honest to goodness quotes from the Gnostics. I honestly believe that whoever wrote them (by the way, they are erroneously named after disciples and other real Bible characters who had nothing to do with writing them - mainly because they were long dead before these books were ever written) must have been snorting mushrooms and licking toads and then sat down to write on the 'deeper meanings of life'. If you ever hear from anyone that these writings reveal more about Jesus, or give us greater insight into Christianity, you may safely write them off. The Gnostic Gospels make Nostradamus look like William Shakespeare.
There is clearly a difference between Holy Spirit anointed revelation (The Bible) and incoherent babbling. The more we learn about the Bible and how we got it, the more obvious it becomes that God has truly preserved His Word through the course of history. That's not surprising because Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away." Matthew 24:35.
Thank you for writing on the "missing books" of the Bible. I'm glad that someone with a lot of Bible knowledge read them and reported because I'm afraid to even touch them. I wasn't brought up to believe there are any additions to His Word so I won't read them nor will I read the "DaVinci Code."
