[QUOTE]Originally posted by Raw Cadet: [QB] While we are "off-topic," let me add that the gnostic gospels were never part of the New Testament. Until the Catholic Church determined the New Testament canon (I forget the date), there was not an "official" New Testament canon. How much of the "New Testament" you had depended on what texts you had access to. Your "New Testament" may have amounted to a letter from Paul to your church, or it may have run the gamut from gnostic gospel to the gospel of Mary Magdalene [spelling?]. Even when the New Testament had been determined, since printing had not yet been discovered in the west, there were very few copies of the canon New Testament. Thus, the only people who really had access to canon scriptures were seminarians (who later became priests). Unfortunately, this was later misconstrued as the Church not wanting "the common people" to have access to scripture (unfotunately, that was also true at times, though not to the degree some protestants would have you believe).
