Gospels: False and Otherwise.

In the most simple terms, the Four Gospels of the New Testament are, with the possible exception of the Gospel of Thomas, the earliest of the extant Gospels - a significant pointer to their authenticity over the later efforts. Interestingly - considering the pap produced in so many of those written centuries after the life of Christ - none can compare with the Gospel of Thomas which is not totally without merit but is somewhat random, a real mishmash lacking cohesion and simply cannot stand alone. Any careful study should easily reveal its inadequacies as a genuine claimant for inclusion in the canon of Scripture.
