Gospel of Thomas

So a question about Thomas.

Have you looked at his Gospel and do you think it is corrupt? In it, it says that "if you pray, you will be condemned" !!

It surprised me...because initially I thought of Thomas as someone who just wasn't as blessed, or didn't have as much faith. Now I am really wondering what is up!

I would put no credence in the "Gospel" of Thomas. There are many such writings, none of which are credible.
 
The Gospel of Thomas is pseudepigrapha, a work attributed to someone who was considered authoritative but who never wrote it. This is clear since the Gospel of Thomas presents anything but the true Gospel, has a date that puts it well into the second century, and is Gnostic in origin.
