A survey question: What do you know about religious texts like the Nag Hammadi codices?

... and any other texts that have been found in the last 100 years that Biblical scholars are examining.
I mean what do you know NOW - without looking it up.
Please mention your religious affiliation.
 
I am a Christian. And I have read them. All of them.

They identify themselves as the works of gnostics and not Christians. The gospel of Judas names Jesus as "from the immortal realm of Barbelo". That is not Christian and it is not Jewish. It is gnostic.
 
I was raised Lutheran (the guy who questioned everything), but am not affiliated with any church or religion at present.
I have had the opportunity to learn about the history of the Bible and know that what is in it is basically what some guys decided would be in it to further their own agenda.
I have read other sources and have been for quite some time greatly disappointed that what passes for the Bible has left out so much....
 
I've watched quite a few youtube videos on the origin of the Bible. I know there have been quite a few agnostic texts found by a sheep herder. These texts give more insight into the known Bible. Some of the texts include writings not included in the Bible while some give variations of stories included. The Agnostics were early Christians, pre-Roman Catholic. When Constantine converted and forced the empire into Christianity other sects of Christianity were condemned and it would appear hid their sacred texts by burying them. Wasn't Nag Hammadi considered very wise.
