Baptists/Gnostic Gospels

Question
There's been much discussion on the Gnostic Gospels and I'm interested to read one--if only to see for myself what it's all about. Would you recommend it?

Answer
Hi itchicoopark,

I have not read one of the gnostic gospels.  I would not recomend that you read it with the possibility in mind that this may be The word of God.... but as long as you are immerced in the true Bible, then you will see errors if you do read it.  Remember, it is God's perfect word that gives us everything that we need for righteousness.

2 Timothy 3:16
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

In Christ,
Pastor Don

Expertise

I believe that every word of the Bible is God-Breathed. This blessed book is the foundation of truth for faith and practice. If you ask this volunteer a question you will receive an answer from the Bible that is based upon a litteral, normal interpretation, taking into account the grammar and culture of the time.

Experience

I have been in the ministry almost 20 years. During this time, the Lord has used me as Senior Pastor, counsellor, youth pastor and generally in the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry.
