Is there a gospel older than Mark?
To attempt to answer this question, we need to understand the background of the synoptic gospels. In spite of the later attribution to the apostles whose names they now bear, all the New Testament gospels were written anonymously. As the question implies, Mark's gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written, followed by Matthew and Luke. Moreover, the authors of Matthew and Luke relied on Mark for everything they knew about the mission of Jesus. But they also relied on another document known as the hypothetical 'Q' document or Q Gospel for sayings material attributed to Jesus.Scholars of the Q Gospel say that it was written in four stages over a period of several years. It is very likely that the earliest form of this document was written before Mark's Gospel.There is a division of opinion on the sayings gospel known as the Gospel of Thomas. Although there is a view that GThomas was written in the second century, the weight of scholarly opinion now is that it was written in the middle of the first century, possibly before Mark's Gospel. The 'late view' for Thomas points out that there is no known early mention of the gospel. The 'early view' sees similarities between Thomas and Q - in fact at an early point in Q scholarship it was thought that they might have been the same document.
Which gospel gave the first account of the nativity?
Since Matthew's Gospel was written up to twenty years before Luke's Gospel, Matthew's account would have been first. However, we know that the author of Luke's Gospel knew nothing of Matthew's Gospel, and so could not harmonise his account with that of Matthew. This is why the two accounts are so completely different.

What are some opinions on the Gospel of Thomas?
AnswerThe Gospel of Thomas is a sayings gospel that is variously attributed to the second century or earlier in the first century. The attribution to the second century seems to be based on the apparent Gnostic nature of the Gospel and the belief that radically different beliefs about Christianity could not have evolved soon after the death of Jesus. The attribution to the first century seems to be based on the similarity of Thomas to the hypothetical 'Q' document, which must be dated no later than the middle of the first century, as well as the primitive nature of Thomas.Like the four New Testament Gospels, there is no reason to believe that it was written by one of the disciples. There are many apparent literary dependencies between Thomas and the Gospel of Mark, and some scholars now believe that these must have been copied from Thomas to Mark, rather than the other way around. Since Mark is known to have been written approximately 70 CE, this lends weight to the scholarly view that Thomas was written in the middle of the first century and is older than Mark.If the dependence of Mark on Thomas is confirmed by further research, then the Gospel of Thomas could provide a unique insight into the very beginnings of the Christian religion.
Where did Jesus find Saint Thomas?
The Biblical Saint Thomas- there is also St.Thomas Acquinas and St.Thomas More, is mentioned in the (Low Sunday) gospel, the first Sunday after Easter. I have no idea why it was called Low, perhaps the apostles were (Lying Low) avoiding contact with the public after the crucifixion. The Low Sunday Gospel is popularioly called the Doubting Thomas gospel, this reflected Biblical and Elizabethan Grammar, wouldn"t Doubtful Thomas- he was doubtful of Jesus" resurrection, be more grammatically correct? well Doubting Thomas it is .

Whom was the gospel of Thomas written for?
AnswerThe date of the Gospel of Thomas is uncertain. What was to become mainstream Christianity has tended to downplay the size of the Gnostic Christian community and assert that Gnosticism only began in the second century. Thomas is a Gnostic Christian gospel and, on that basis, should be dated to well into the second century. However, the similarities of the Gospel to the hypothetical 'Q' document and other internal clues have led some scholars to believe that Thomas could be almost as old as Mark's Gospel, or even older. On this view, Thomas could be one of the two oldest gospel accounts known.A:Because the Gospel of Thomas is mildly gnostic, it was long assumed to have been written during the second century. After all, an early date would suggest that gnostic Christianity existed from a very early time, which would conflict with a simplistic understanding that what is now orthodox Christianity arose after the crucifixion of Jesus and faithfully taught what Jesus had said and done, and that gnostic Christianity arose as teachings were corrupted.Recent studies of the Gospel of Thomas, in the context of 'Q' and the Gospel of Mark, mean that there is now a consensus that the Gospel of Thomas was actually written around the middle of the first century CE.
