I'm curious as to why the Council of Carthage choose to exclude the Gospels of Thomas, Philip etc when compiling the NT - yet do include the Gospels of Luke and Mark, who were only companions of Saint Paul.
As Paul (afaik) never met Christ, Luke and Mark would seem to have far less validity then any member of the Twelve.

well the thing about thomas was his gospel was a gnostic work.
