Of course we know Jesus' actual attitude Harold - It shines forth clearly and brightly in the genuine Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. What we also know is that the wise and knowledgeable men that assembled the New Testament canon rejected the Gospel of Thomas and other such nutty garbage produced by people who probably had rejected the genuine Gospels, and were making it up out of whole cloth. The year(s) that junk like the Gospel of Thomas were produced is absolutely irrelevant - it was junk whenever it was produced and it's junk today.
