The Gnostic Gospels are a set of several Gospels (not sure of the exact number) you can find them at most Barnes & Nobels in the Christianity section, under the name Nag Hammadi Scrolls, or Gnostic Gospels.

The Gospel of Judas was written many many years after the apostles lived and their associates (Timothy and Luke). Where did you get your historical research? \nGive me a break. \n\nThe gnostic gospels are from beliefs that began in the 2nd and 3rd century, which meens that the writings come from a time period more than 100 years after Jesus ministry, far later than any New Testament book. Why in the world should we believe that these later documents tell us more about events than the earlier documents? They are simply not useful for trying to understand Jesus ministry and the shape of very early Christianity. (1)\n\nThe gnostic gospels were late arrivals, which is ONE reason why church leaders rejected them ... they lacked authority since their authors were neither (a) apostles of Jesus nor (b) persons associated with apostles of Jesus... and no one knows who wrote those gnostic gospels.

I read it and found it very good.  I have been studying the Gnostic scriptures for quite a while now.

If Nesmas Kol CHa is the book I think you're reffereing to it was not written by Saint Peter but is a book written by Agnostic writes, who would often use the name of various Chrsitian saints to try and create a set of canon for thier relgion is place of the Christian Gospels. the gospel of St. Judas and St. Thomas are similar cases.

Gospels such as the Gospel of Judas, Mary Magdalene and Thomas.  These gospels emphasized the gnostic viewpoint of early christianity.  The word gnostic means to know.  Gnostics believed that every individual could know God himself.  The early church tried to destroy all the gnostic gospels and declared them heresy because they basically made the organized church unnecesary.

I've read the Gospel of Barnabus, it is very similar to the ones in the new testament, it was ommitted by the Vatican because it spoke of prophecies conserning the coming of a final Prophet after Jesus.

The dead sea scrolls are a group of gospels, much like those which are actually in the bible. In these writings, though, the teachings lean towards the idea of gnosticism. Gnostic teachings, put simply, say that there is secret information/knowledge that can be learned from the teachings of Jesus. Also, some of these writings indicate that there are teachings from Jesus that were not made public. These are sayings and ideas which were meant only for the apostles, which the apostles could then pass down to a select number of people that they deemed worthy (as Jesus had deemed them worthy.) Another theme that runs through these gospels is the basis that women are not subordinate to men. They are equals on the playing field, and in fact, god is sometimes referred to as "she" instead of "he." In the traditional sense (meaning traditional Catholicism) these writings are considered somewhat fake--they are not forgeries, but they are not true first-hand accounts of Jesus' teachings, and therefore subject to mutation. This sort of thing is called apocryphal writings, and are kind of used as supplements to the Bible. The Catholic church has spoken against the writings though, saying that they are false and not truly written by those that claim to have written them. Despite ones view on their validity, they show that during the time they were written, the gnostic movement was large enough to warrant its own set of writings.

I think Gospel of Thomas is the original gospel and the synoptics are copies made in Rome.\n\nConsider this...\n\nMariamne/James or saint Peter?\n\nHyppolitus' Refutation of All Heresies states that the Gnostic Christians (Naasenes) claim their "system" was handed down to them by Mariamne from James the Just.... \n\nChap. II.\nNaasseni ascribe their system, through Mariamne, to James the Lord's brother; really traceable to the ancient mysteries; their psychology as given in the "Gospel according to Thomas"... ...These are the heads of very numerous discourses which the Naassene asserts James the brother of the Lord handed down to Mariamne. In order, then, that these impious (heretics) may no longer believe Mariamne or James, or the Savior Himself, let us come to the mystic rites (whence these have derived their figment)…\n\nThe Gospel of Thomas says that Jesus told his disciples that after he had departed James was to be their leader...\n\nThe Gospel of Thomas \n12 The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you are going to leave us. Who will be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "No matter where you are you are to go to James the Just…"\n\nIf the Naassenes were the earliest Christian heretics and also claimed to have received their "system" from James, who was to receive the ministry of Jesus, does that make the Naassenes (Gnostics) the heirs to the ministry of Jesus?\n\nYes! Peter, who was "against the woman" (the Magdalene), took his stuff to Rome and founded "Christianity". The real stuff went to Alexandria, but the Catholics attempted to destroy it.

There are four "accepted" Gospells, that you will find in the King James Version of the New Testement.  If you want to get into the Gnosstic Gospells ~ there are as many as 30 KNOWN Gospells, to include the Gospell of Mary, The Gospell of Thomas, and now the much publisied Gospel of Judas. \n\nHowever, if you really want to tie things up, I would recommend a book entitled "The Arm of Hiram" \n\n*WARNING*  Should you read the "Arm of Hiram" ~ you're NOT going to like what you're going to read.  In it, it ties the Shroud of Turin, the Knights Templar, The Freemasons, the Gnosstic Gospels, the story of Christ up in one neat little package.  \n\nThe Roman Cahtolic Bible, the Orthodox Bibles, and the King James version of the Bible was meant for the un-educatd, illiterate masses.  The Gnosstic Gospels were meant for the more initated, educated, and informed ~ that is to say the more enlightened people ~ thus the Illuminati.  Be careful of where you thread with this ~ The more your dig ~ the deeper you get.  And, it is deep.  Pity that the Libary of Alexander was destroyed by the Romans ~ which if you study Roman strategty ~ goes against everything that they did when the conquered a city.  The first thing they did ~ was NOT to burn a city's library ~ but to seize it and make it safe ~ so why did they burn the library of Alexander?  \n\nEverything in the Bible is indeed true ~ however its like reading the Cliff Notes version or at best the Reader's Digest condensed version.  Its as I said intended for the un-educated, the illietrate, the common man, the masses.  \n\nWhen you see the most base of televanglist on television ~ this is the most base of people appealing to the simplest of people ~ which is why Jessie Ventura ~ the former Governor and Navy Seal was quoated as saying "Christian's are simple-minded people"\n\nTo give you but a taste ~ we're not earthly beings having a spiritual expiernce ~ we're spiritual beings having an earthly experience.  Who we are ~  what we are ~ is not of this Earth.  We are all children of God, and therefore gods ~ which is why Christ spoke of having but the faith of a mustard seed ~  and you can move mountains.  (The Book of Seth)  We come to this world~ to learn, to grow, to experience ~ but the experiment has gone awire ~ and we have forgotten who and of what we are.  What we truly are. \n\nIt can be proven mathematically ~ that an person who is of an eighth dimesion can walk through solid walls, solid objects.  This isn't speculation, nor falacy. Its pure math. Which is the absolute language of the universe.  An eigth dimesional person (Discory Magazine ~ I forget the year and edition) can walk through solid object in a three dimesional world.  \n\nThere is also the "Physics of Immortainlity"  another book I've read. Probally out of print.  A physicist, with a PhD in Nuclear Physics, who was trying to complete Einstien's "Unified Field" theory and who started out as an atheist ~ became a Christian based upon pure mathematics and physics.  \n\nYOU THREAD WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO GO!
