There is good reason why these extra Biblical narratives are not part of the canon and its because they are in conflict with just about everything the Bible does say on these various issues...
Now as to these redactions in the Gospels ya mention> Can you provide the list of redactions please? Id love to see them.
Quoting: Ozric Of course they have been left out for good reason. Anything that didn't fit in the official narrative was banned. And that was nearly everything.
Please educate yourself. Perhaps Wikipedia is a good point to start from. There is so much you can find about it on the Internet. For instance:

Only a few letters of Paul are originals. And even these few original letters of Paul may have been edited. For instance, Ehrman claims that 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 is a forgery.
How very neat that this alleged forgery claims that men are superior to women.
The evidence of God being a woman is circumstantial at best. But what you should you expect if nearly everything has been rewritten?
Its not even circumstantial, God is male. We have much more saying He is a male than shaky source that say otherwise.
I mean if your reject the Bible completely then I guess its all circumstantial ... The Bible is not something that just showed up at Amazon books one day.. It was inspired to man by God as the Words God intended for us to have as a singular canon. There are thousands of witnesses and the narrative is and was supported by HUGE swaths of populations.
Now with the help of Satans minions it may become diminished in the minds of those who fall away from the narrative, that in and of itself does not change whom God is...
I said earlier we will all know soon enough and when we do, if God is a woman or a paansexual thing, then I will eat my words... I will even say the prayer... God may my words be sweet as honey and tasty for one day I may need to eat them... however in the mean time, God is male.
Im sure that offends you just as your (or others) calling my Father in heaven something other offends me... and yet we can both be tolerant yes?
I wonder how God feels...
