Bible

Hello excel,
Well I would put it this way. Christians claim that having a personal relationship with christ is what they strive for and if that truly is a christians desire then I would think they would want to find out ALL there is to know about him. The bible is 1 small sample of his life. There are many writings that have the wisdom of christs words in them i.e Gospel of Thomas, Dialog of the Savior, Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Mary Magdelene, Lost years of Christ and even the Gospel of Judas. Yet the christian church does not recognize them even though these writings have just as much validity as the gospels in the bible. Some are even older than the gospel of mark. There is a document in the himalayas that is over 1500 years old with the writings of christs journeys there from the time he was 12-29 years old. Wouldn't a christian want to get a full picture of jesus's life so to know him better and to have a closer and more personal relationship.
I'm not saying the bible is not true, but what i contend is that, for a christian, it lacks ALL the information for one to get to know the man jesus.
My old life has passed away because of jesus's words and yet I dont believe him to be god, one with god yes, but not god. peace reigns in my soul though i believe the bible to be contradictive of itself, and erring in some instances, yet that doesn't take away from its power, magic, or the peace in my soul.
If you truly want to get to know someone you would obviously want to know ALL there is about that person, whether it be your friend, your wife or your 'god'.

Jesus says in the Gospel of Thomas 15, "When you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on your faces and worship him. That one is your father."
The Gospel of Thomas is older than any other book in the new testament and was widely accepted in the early church to be gospel. So how does a bible believing christian rectify that verse with their belief that jesus is god?
These are the things that I ponder because I believe to know jesus is to know god, but to not accept other writings is like not accepting other parts of christ
