Why does God hate babies who have not sinned?

[Doubting_Thomas]

Um, Gospel of Philip isn't canonical.

Thanks. This response is aimed at our Christian members....

By who's definition? Which Canon are we expected to adhere to - the Canon of Trent? King James 1611 Authorized Version in English?

The gospel of Philip is a gnostic gospel which is contemporary of what most modern Christians regard as the new testament, and certainly pre-dates the Canon of Trent. It is the gospel of either Philip the Evangelist or Philip the Apostle (historians differ, I think the Apostle is the conventional view).

Are you saying that a bunch of Roman Catholics in the late 4th Century are divinely qualified to determine which gospels are the word of God and which are not.

The reason the Gospel of Philip never made it into Protestant bibles (Lutheran, King James...) is more about the success of the Roman Catholics in 'owning' the bible and suppressing, even extirpating the "heretical" scripture of the Early Christians than about divine authority? When the Southern Baptists split from what became the Northern Baptists in 1845 (over slavery let's not forget), how many Southern Baptist preachers had even heard of the Gospel of Philip? - None. It'd been effectively hidden and suppressed for over a thousand years and was only rediscovered in 1945.
