Third star to the right, straight on til morning.
Now, you're just being sillyโฆ clearly, if it is a Gospel text at all, then it's gnostic apocrypha
*sigh
Yes, yes, we all know how "woke" gnostic Anons are.
Yes, I've read plenty of them, including Thomas. Just not as much as canon.
Thomas is not DATED before those other Gospels, in terms of source material.
The only people who say that are spoopy Harvard psyop professors who want to get their, "See, Gnostics are better" button.
Gnosticism is a trap, to be sure.
ALSO
NICEA doesn't approve any four Gospels as "canon". You'll have to go to Trent for that one.
