Should the Gospel of Thomas be in the Canon?

[tonychanyt]

I don't think so. The Gospel of Thomas was not written by Jesus’ disciple Thomas. The early church saw it as a forgery.

Gospel of Thomas, Saying 14:

Jesus said to them, "If you fast, you will give rise to sin for yourselves; and if you pray, you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits.

These 3 conditional statements contradict the canonical gospels about fasting (Mt 6:16), praying (Mt 6:9), and giving alms (Mt 6:2).
