You posted "but, there simply are NO other gospels that were written in the first century".

You may believe that there were none but you CANNOT SAY THAT there were none when such might have been destroyed by interested parties or simply lost.

We are all entitled to our own opinions, and mine is that most (if not all) of that stuff was organised as a power base for those who wanted to control whomever would believe it.

Anyway, as I suggested, you are entitled to your beliefs, and I wish you a happy life in whatever they may be.
