I disagree. If the Holy Bible is read properly, you can see where Christ calls us to Him without an intermediary. It is only man who decided the Church needed to be all powerful and controlling. For example the Bible never mentions "the rapture" by name, and yet it is one of the most propagated theories of Christianity. Look up Margaret MacDonald. Jesus himself (through the shedding of His blood), is all that was required for us to be accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven. I believe the Bible is whole and complete and any other texts can be misleading.

The gospel of Thomas wasn’t discovered until 1945, so how could they include it?
I’m happy for your protestations.
