I think most folks will have their minds open (or closed) to both sides, even before they give it a chance.\n\nYou have to admit, the tolerance shown by Christians regarding this book, "the DaVinci Code", the so-called Jesus Seminar, the "Last temptation" -- far more benevolent than some other religions.\n\nI think if you have truth on your side, you don't have to be defensive.   Just forgiving.

I know and to be a gospel it had to be written by one of the disciples or their assistant.  The gos[pel of Thomas, Judas etc, were NOT written by them.  The stuff that people will believe!

The "gospel of Judas" is an oxymoron. Gospel means "good news". What is so great about the man who was possessed by Satan, betrayed Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silver, then hung himself when it was all over????

I have to say absolutely yes, he did forgive him because he knew what was going to happen.  He knew why he was here.  He knew from the first what his destiny was.  When he spoke to Judas at the last supper and told him to do what he had to do, he knew.  When he was praying in the garden, he knew.  When the soldiers came to take him, he knew.\n\nWhether you buy the theory now being talked about from the manuscript being called The Gospel of Judas, that he was Jesus' favorite, and the only one he could trust to do the deed, or whether you think he was a weasel and a betrayer, it changes not one bit that Jesus knew his reason for being here and the "betrayal" was part of the plan.  Judas being a willing friend, or a "traitor" doesn't change the outcome or the certainty it was going to happen.  Anyways, Jesus was here for forgivness of ALL mankinds sins and that includes Judas.

I believe the gospel accounts of the conception and birth of Jesus.\n\nAnd everything else, for that matter.

and my christian friends should thank Judas also ....because if he hadnt betrayed Jesus ....there wouldnt have been any salvation possible .... why is he always titled as  a satan...By the way lets see if Gospel of Judas bring some truth .......\nI am a Muslim and Quran tells us that Jesus never died neither did he wished so .....some person (may be Judas) betrayed him ...and he was crucified inplace of jesus because God made him look like jesus...Jesus has been raised up alive in the heavens and he will return ..

Yes. It says that Judas was the best of all the apostles, and did what Jesus asked. To quote fairly close to it, Jesus said, "You will be greater than all the others Judas. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me."

I watched the special on National Geographic. Have they made the text available to read anywhere?\n\nBased on the information that was given on the National Geographic premiere...I firmly believe that Jesus chose Judas to sacrifice him. Someone had to do it and he wanted Judas to be the one. The thing that gets me is that when Jesus tells Judas that he will be known as deceitful person for many, many years but in the END, the truth will be known. Wow, that means we know now....does that mean that we are really close to the end?\n\nI would love to look at it more in depth when they release it; if you know anywhere it has been published, please let me know.

I saw the same thing and am trying to find that gospel and the gospel of Mary and to tell you the truth all of the gospels they were talking about. I'm not so sure that it is real or fake but the bible says test all things.... also says seek wisdom, not just biblical wisdom. Kudos from me, your on the right track...however, I seriously doubt the authenticity of the book. Googling it doesn't help much!

The gospel of Judas exists, in fact it was written about 180 A.D. However it was written by a group of heretics called Gnostics who believed that Jesus was only a man and not God. \n\nThe Christians of both that time and this do not believe the gospel of Judas is true or that it is inspired by God (Scripture) like the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.\n\nIt definitely will not have any effect on my faith.

I am not sure if he was, but our current bible is missing several books.  Each of the 11 disciples wrote a book (all but Judas), but we only have 4.  Also, bear in mind that the Catholic Bible and Protestant Bible have different books.  However, although I am sure he probably wrote "something" about Christ, I can not say for sure it was a "book," and that his book was rejected.

nope. there are quite a few false "gospels" that different sects like the gnostics wrote that are not in accordance with the rest of the Bible. its interesting historically and teaches us more about these sects, but it doesnt mean that it was ever part of maintstream Christianity or that its true. the gospel of judas sounds like pretty typical gnostic stuff- the flesh is bad, the spirit is good, judas was helping Jesus get rid of the bad flesh, only certain special people get special knowledge... nothing particularly new, just dealing with judas.

First of all, I think all this hype at Easter time about a supposedly hidden gospel, written by a major player in the crucifixion story is a little suspect....imagine......... television trying to get ratings...lol.\n\nOn the other hand, if it is an actual document recorded by people who had Judas' story handed down to them (like the four big gospels), I've always wondered if Judas actually imagined to the point of belief that HE was the center of bringing about the new government.  \n\nHe may have actually thought that Jesus was giving him some kind of signals to carry out the dirty work. He certainly hasn't been the last person to believe he was getting divine direction to commit a crime in the name of God. Especially if money was involved.\n\nAnd before anyone tries to defend Judas' actions or say that what Judas did was "God's will" and "part of The Plan", don't forget the Sanhedrin was determined to do away with Christ. They didn't have to have Judas.

According to the newly discovered gosple of Judas, that's exactly what happened.  According to that book, Judas did not betray Jesus as all, but merely did what Jesus told him to do.\n\nOf course, it's important to keep in mind that Judas and Jesus are both fictional characters.

thats nice... you also watched that!!!\n\nactually, there is alot of inconsistent details in the bible but nonetheless the same....\n\njudas' gospel was very compelling it contradicted the 4 gospels but i guess you wouldn't believe in that unless you have a strong faith towards jesus...\n\n\nnow, i'm having a hard time thinking.......
