No. I really know nothing of this in terms of history or anthropology.
But from reading a post on this forum some time ago I gathered there was
the Niciaeen Creed in the early years of Christianity that dictated the core beliefs that would establish fixed rules of worship. The stumbling block lies in which translation of the early scriptures one whishes to consider; the Greek translation or the Latin. That will tell what you feel is true in this story. Thats the extent of what I know.
I'm not arguing here I have no ability to argue this point. I just wonder why people will get up-in-arms over something they should be absolutely contemptuous of if they really believe what they believe.
Like water off a ducks back. Thats how I would feel.
But I also understand how it would be of interest to a person. Like politics is for me! So I would enjoy to learn of some of the underlying issues revolving around this; but it seems it might be a sore subject to some.
I did read a very good article concerning the Gospel Of Thomas in Harpers last year.
