Gospel of Thomas
     This gospel is claimed by sources to be written by the Apostle Thomas. It writes that Jesus as a young child was revengeful. In this gospel, it claims Jesus killed out of revenge. It claims Jesus was feared, not the description of the Jesus in the other Gospels. In those Gospels, Jesus is loving, caring, and merciful. The Gospel claims to have secret knowledge, a Gnostic theme. The Gospel of Thomas is consisted mostly of Jesus' sayings. The depiction of Jesus in this gospel is heretic. Jesus if vengeful would have taken revenge upon his killers. The gospel goes against the Church's teachings which were handed down by the Apostles themselves.
