The Gospel of Thomas: A Fraudulent Non-Canonical Work

The Gospel of Thomas is a non-canonical work that has been widely debated due to attempts to rehabilitate its reputation. It is commonly recognized that the Gospel of Thomas was not written until the mid to late second century, long after the time of the apostle Thomas. Scholars have pointed out that the Gospel of Thomas contradicts the teachings and historical facts found in the canonical gospels. It also steals from the authentic gospels while distorting and twisting their messages. The church rejected the Gospel of Thomas due to its fraudulent claims and its lack of alignment with the truth and teachings of Christianity.
