A:
Early Christianity was divided into two main branches, which some scholars believe were of roughly equal sizes. One branch eventually managed to dominate and become the Church we know today, including Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant denominations. The gnostic churches were the other early branch, but became extinct after centuries of persecution under Christian emperors.
Both branches of Christianity worshipped Jesus, so it is natural that he is included in the Gnostic scriptures found at Nag Hammadi. The books found at Nag Hammadi were hidden by Gnostics at the end of the fourth century so that they would not be destroyed by marauding mobs of Catholic-Orthodox Christians after their own sect was made illegal.

Early Church leaders, such as Irenaeus and Athanasius, deemed these texts heretical, as they undermined the authority of the apostolic tradition and the teachings of the early Church.
