I know this question has been asked over and over... so sorry...
Anyway, I was faced with many contradictions when I started looking into Gnosticism from Christianity.
One of the things that interested me most about Gnosticism was the fact that there was more to learn and understand about God. Why were only some books chosen for the gospel? Only a select four went into the Bible, when there were about thirty other gospels that all said something abuot the nature of Yehsua and explained God in further detail.
I think Becky will remember a mistake I made once in asking a few LDS members, "If there was more information written about God and Yeshua, wouldn't you want to know it?" In that respect, the LDS church and Gnostics are the same, that we read beyond the original canon from the Bible.
I'm specifically asking christians who dont follow the BoM, or extra-canonical texts why they dont feel like there is anything to gain from other texts written about Yeshua. It's not a loaded question, I'm just curious is all.
