Objection: The Christians have lost 11 parts of the Gospel which were attributed to Christ. They have also lost nine letters from John, two from Andrew, Mathew, Philip and one from James; accounts of the Gospel by Bartolomew, Thomas, James and Matthews and some acts of Christ's apostles-four of Thomas and two of Matthew. There is another collection of books which the Christians also lost; there are attributed to authors whose names we cannot find anywhere.
Response: Christianity commands us to inquire and search: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John 4:1). This means we are to use our minds to differentiate between true guidance and error.
Christianity warns us against accepting distorted teachings. The Apostle Paul warned the people of Galatia against accepting teachings other than what he had taught them. He said, "But even if we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:8). In 2 Timothy 1:13, Paul said, "Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus." In Revelation 22:18-19, the Apostle John says: "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book." However, Muhammad said: "If you hear about something I said, which you did not know but cannot deny, whether I really said it or not, then believe it, for I do not speak what is unknown or deniable. If you hear about something I said, which you did not know but deny, then reject it, for I do not speak what is unknown or deniable" (related by al-Hakeem al-Turmuzi). This principle was the reason behind the entry of hundreds of thousands of fabricated saying!
The first Christians and the leading scholars who were contemporaries of the disciples never mentioned these works in their writings. Neither Clement, Ignatius, nor Hermas, who all wrote from AD 70 to AD 180, mentions any of these manuscripts.
