i think they are simply the elements of the bible that the established church didnt like and banned because they contradicted authordoxy

I agree with 'rev' and feel that if they are included, everyone can make an opinion for themselves.
When reading the Gnostic Gospels, as those parts of the Apocrypha written at the time of Jesus are known, it should be born in mind that they do not all reflect the given belief that there is only 1 God (I believe in one texts Jesus is said to refer to the Gods as 'the Forefathers', and is definitely plural), but most important is the ideology known to all Christians as 'we are all Gods children', as this refers to the Sumerian religious aspect of Nephilim worship. The Sumerians believed that many Nephilim came to Earth and used humans as workers. After some time, certain members of the Nephilim felt this enslavery was unjust, and a war broke out. Mankind was recreated but using a female Nephilim to bear the human children, As such, these humans were half man, half Nephilim, and therefore contained a piece of the Divine within them. This was passed down, just as families share DNA, and that ecery humanbeing (male and female) contaons this hidden knowledge and connection to God. As the church has always maintained that it is the only knowledge of God, and that you can only find God and enter Heaven through its churches and monks, priests etc, this idea of not needing priests nor churches, but instead self-examination, and your own body being a temple to God, was seen as very dangerous to the church. Strangely, in the Middle Ages, when the RC Church started producing new religious books, such as the 'Malleus Maleficarum', they wrote a hierarchy of angels, with Archangels at the peak. This list included the Christmas associated Chrubim and Seruphim (the Seruphim were angels of vengreance!), and also the Nephilim.
Despite the church denying the truth of the Apocrypha, they used them as the basis for these old texts.

By the way, I've heard there were more than 600 books... which ones did you read? I have read the "Gospel of mary" (three pages) and I love it, but I have read some of the "Gospel of Philip" and I don't agree or don't understand what he talks about. Also I have read a little of the "Egyptians Gospel" and it looks different, like a story for childrens... I'll tell you more when I finish it.
