Was the Apocrypha included in the original KJV meant to be canonical?

What about the gospel of Thomas, does anyone know anything about that?

I have some books that contain just about all the so called "secret" and "hidden" gospels that have been restored, translated and published so far. There are still some findings that are being authenticated and painstakingly restored, one of particular interest is the so called "Gospel of the Nazarene", reported to possibly be written by Christ himself, although many experts are saying that this assertion is totally spurious, that any number of people could have been titled "A Nazarene".
Of the ones that have been published I have found nothing in them that tell us anything we don't already have in the Canonical Gospels. The Gospel of Thomas, if indeed it is genuine because many say it isn't, is simply a series of anecdotal sayings from Jesus Christ, many of which are found in the four Gospels in the Bible, the odd few that are not are both unrevealing and pretty pointless.

Martinez:

Thanks guys, I was just curious that's all.

Someone on another forum posted a link to a web page that claimed that the original gospels that were saved from being altered (or something like that) were given to some Buddist monks somewhere to keep safe from those who wouldn't want the true gospels to be known.

It was totally see through. according to them, Christ had said stuff about not eating meat or harming any living things.

Hmmm, Buddism anyone?

Hi

what about the book of Enoch that gets quoted in Jude ?

It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, Jude 1:14


why does this appear in the  scriptures ?

Hi Dave

The Word of God as in the Jude Scripture does not say that Enoch wrote a book. It says he prophesied.

We have many accounts of other characters in the Bible and I do not think that this means that they wrote a book that has not yet been discovered somewhere. But leave it up to the imaginative and they will sure come out with one! Oh, the book of Judas Iscariot has already appeared somewhere has it not?  :D

Peace to you

Dear Martinez.

Type "Gospel of Thomas" into Google and you'll find out, the whole lot will pop up. It is quite interesting to say the least whether it is edifying or not is a matter of opinion.

God bless.

Love in Christ Jesus.
