There was actually a huge debate about which gospels ultimately ended up in the Bible, Sidney. The Gospel of Thomas is authentic, however. It was discovered in 1945 at Nag Hammadi. Here is a little more about it: pbs.org It seems from your post that you might be unaware that there were huge debates and violent struggles between different groups of early Christians about what should go in the Bible, and indeed, what it meant to be a Christian at all. The Holy Trinity, for example, was arrived at as Christian belief several hundred years after Jesus died. I would agree that many Christians who have been taught absolute beliefs about Jesus are disturbed by the existence of other Gospels, because all of this dynamic history of early Christianity makes it much more obvious that what Christians believe today is the result of a debate between various factions of his human followers, and did not come down in a thunderbolt from God in the sky. But the Gospel is authentic, nonetheless, and all of the discussion of it I cited is written by professors of theology at prestigious universities, the leaders in their fields.
