Just by using only a couple of edited stories of the possilble 12 gospels PROVES TO ME BEYOUND A SHAWDOW OF A DOUBT, that in writing the early "christian" version of the new testiment was done by throwing out all the thoughts & stories by MOST OF THE DICIPLES, that the 'church' of the day didn't like or didn't go along with the OFFICIAL Church line..
Problem is, there was no official church in that day yet. The Bishop in Rome(the soon to be pope) didn't have the religous supremacy that he did in the middle ages as was competing with the Bishops in Alexandria, Jerusalem and Damascus. There was no unified church at this point (which was a reason for the meetings that they had).
Likewise, you seem to cast doubt on the included gospels, citing thier age and the lack of real connections, yet the minute one comes out that you agree with, it's the complete truth and nobody can argue with it.
There's a reason that these "gospels" if they even can be called that were cut out and included. When you can't cross check these gospels, when there are accusations or claims that aren't in any of the others, it puts a bit doubt onto the intent or the actuall accuracy of these gospels.
