For example, in my own readings I note that the Gospel of Thomas shows a very Gnostic-sounding Jesus, and yet this gospel may predate the others, and consists totally of quotes from Jesus. I am not sure why many Christians are threatened by this. I'm sure most Christians, far from being threatened by 'The Gospel of Thomas', have never heard of it unless they study pseudoepigrapha and the canon of scripture. It wasn't included in the canon because it is a gnostic text. There are a lot of psuedoepigrapha from that era, and they aren't in the canon. I also find it important to note that Gnosticism was an early form, or branch, of Christianity. I marvel at how you come up with this nonsense. Gnosticism was never 'a branch of Christianity'. Paul writes against gnosticism in his letters.
