Both the Gospel of John and the Gospel of Thomas were possibly written around the same time. Why mightJohn have been deemed acceptable to “orthodox Christianity” and included in the New Testament while the non-canonical Thomas ultimately was not?

Consider both the features the Gospel of Thomas shares with John that probably were acceptable to orthodox Christianity even as you also draw attention to what orthodox Christians might have been considered “heretical” about Thomas. Please consider things like: what kinds of materials appear or don’t appear in the text of Thomas (birth stories, teachings, passion and resurrection scenes, etc.), the Christology of these two gospels, and the specific content of their teachings. Please use detailed examples from the two gospels to support your claims.
