In the Gospel of James the Less, a futile argument between Mary's mother and her maid is described. We are also told that angels used to serve Mary and that an argument ensued among the priests regarding the craftsmanship of the temple veil.
In the Gospel of Thomas, we can read some vain accounts about Jesus' childhood and upbringing. Some miracles of vengeance are attributed to Him while He is learning the alphabet.
In the Gospel of Mary and of Thomas, and in the Childhood of Christ, silly "miracles" are attributed to Mary and Jesus. For instance, Mary is presented rectifying mistakes that Joseph made in his carpentry work, as well as other trivialities.
Whoever carefully studies the accounts of the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John will be impressed at the way each event is mentioned-no hypocrisy, affectation or decoration; events are related simply, as they happened. The apostles did not refrain from mentioning events that events showed them to be human men with fears, unbelief, anger or pride; for these are feelings or attitudes they really had experienced and their aim was always to present the truth. Nothing frivolous, false, sensational or comic was ever included to make the characters appear superhuman. And when miracles are documented, their aim is always to support a message or teaching; they were never performed for selfish, destructive or sensational purposes. This is in contrast to forged gospels and letters of the apostles which are full of melodramatic, trivial and sensational incidents.

The distinctives of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Qu'ran, part Thirteen and fifteenth
13) Christ, alone, was described as a sign and mercy from God, unto the world. (Mary 20). The world was condemned to hell, under the heavy burden of sin and needed a Savior. For this reason, the only Savior, came to die for our sins, that God's mercy could become available to everyone that believes on Him.
14) For this reason, Christ was the only one that could guarantee His followers high honors and assurances in heaven. The Qur'an "And I will set thy followers above those who disbelieved till the Day of Resurrection." (House of Imran 55).
15) The Lord Jesus Christ will exclusively be the righteous Judge of the living and the dead. The Arabian Messenger, Mohammed, confirmed that fact when he was quoted by El-Bukhary, saying: "The Last Hour will not come until the Son of Mary come down as the righteous Judge.) Notice, Muslims say that God the Judge of the world at the Judgement day. However, their prophet confesses that the Lord Jesus Christ will be Judge.
