The Gospel of Thomas

I just finished watching the movie Stigmata. It is a fascinating movie, but I find it very difficult to believe that the Gospel of Thomas has any doctrinal value. I researched the gospel and read about 1/3 of it, finding it to be somewhat inaccurate to what the true Gospels say. It has more of a Gnostic feel to it, implying that we do not need the Holy Spirit in order to be saved. We simply need to see that we are creations of God, and we will be saved. There is obviously more to what the GoT says, but that is what I picked up in a nut shell.
In my opinion:
The existence of Jesus of Nazareth is not the argument, but merely the significance of his existence. This being the case, it is obvious that someone like Jesus is going to get a lot of attention. A lot of things were written about him, but only those who God spoke through wrote books that became the Bible. God did not randomly choose which writings would form the texts of the Bible. He did not role dice to see which ones would be used. The GoT, if it should even be considered a gospel, was clearly not one of these books. Open your bible. There is no GoT, and it is for good reason.
