First, believe that God is sovereign.

Second, I never heard about Arminian was in the first place.

Third, the other gospel stuff is completely wrong and goes against every thing about Christianity. Like for example, the gospel according to Thomas. First, written way after Jesus came, died, and rose. Second, at the end, it says For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven." What!?!? That goes against what the Bible says about sex stuff. And this supposedly came out of Jesus mouth. Really? Jesus would never say that, as that goes completely against what the Bible says. And that is sin. And Jesus never sinned.

More Issues:

1. No apostle actually wrote the Book of Thomas. It was at least in 140 AD(probably even later, since it is mid-second century), and that is over the 120 year cap God set after Adam and Eve sinned.

2. Depends too much on the canonical 4 Gospel Books: Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. Since it took time for these to circulate (and remember, it wasn't popular back then, thus the government would try to suppress it) it means that this author had access to all 4 Gospels, thus meaning it wasn't within any of the disciples lifetime. Including Thomas. Plus, he was beaded in 72 AD!

3. Does not align with other canonical books. Although it depends on the 4 Gospels, quoting them left and right, it does not ALIGN. Big difference.

4. Thomas was one of several Gnostic texts in the Nag Hammadi discovery. In cause you didn't know, Gnostic is polytheistic, thus believing in more than one God. Again, non-canonical. This same thing taught the god who created the world was evil, and thus, his entire creation was evil. And then, because of that, Jesus never actually died, because physical form is evil, he came as a spirit and made is suffering apparent (Docetism). Again, non-canonical.

5. Gnostic teaches that one can achieve salvation with a secret knowledge.

The first sayings says “Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death.” Gnostic teaching. The Bible taught salvation by faith. Romans 10:9 says "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

6. Since it has no apostolic authority and divine qualities, it is not Scripture, and the church had no motivation to think it was Scripture, either.

It was obvious that the Church rejected it. It never made it into the Bible, and worse (for the Gospel of Thomas, not the church) the church rejected the Gospel of Thomas as heretical. Meaning it didn’t come close.

That is why we get upset about this 'other gospel' stuff, because it was not even close to canonical, had no apostolic authority and divine qualities (very important), and was reject by the church so badly, it could make a blob fish cry looking at it (yes, it is a roast).
