Default Clearly non-canonical

It read like complete rubbish. Compared to the four gospels, this is clearly nonsense in comparison.

So, Jesus throwing demons into pigs isn't nonsense?

There must be some real whoppers in that gospel to qualify it as nonsense! Do tell!

Okay, I read through the whole thing.

I saw a prophesy that the twelve disciples actually create a phony church where all kinds of nasty things go on (hmm, sounds familiar...), a few images from the Sepher Yetzirah, and a lot of "come here/go away" interactions that make me suspect that Jesus was actually an insane Zen roshi.

Darned interesting stuff, IMHO.

A few questions Astreja. What is the Sepher Yetzirah? Has this been authenticatedto the era? From your commentary, it sounds very much like a forgery.
