I can accept that perhaps the Apostles and Disciples had the guidance of God when they wrote things. But it's difficult for me to accept that a counsel of very fallible people without Divine help transliterated what they read into their languages and threw away things that did not fit into what they believed to be true such as gnostic writings and the like.
Of the Gnostic writings found, the only one written by someone who personally knew Jesus, was the 'Gospel of Thomas.' This was only found within the last hundred years. The Gospel of Thomas doesn't contradict the Bible. As you'd expect from another Apostle, it supports the Gospels, despite having a Gnostic editor.
