Gospel OF Judas

[plumedsnake]

Saw a documentary about this newly discovered Gospel according to Judas. Has anyone else heard about it and what do you think?

[wolfjan1]

Haven't heard of it. It was probably suppressed by the church, like any writings by women. Not convenient for their point of view, you see.

[covenofkeys]

yes have heard of this, and yes it is a supressed document.

Yup, I've heard of it. You can read it online, here: The Gospel of Judas, English and Italian Text - HTML Format (http://tuttotempolibero.altervista.org/Vangelo_Di_Giuda/GospelOfJudas.html)

I've heard about it, and i think it was supressed, i've heard it sheds new light on Judas, and that Jesus told him to turn him in, knowing he'd die, and that Judas was following orders (and if he hadn't turned him in, he would have then been betraying Jesus).

I think it's very interesting, and it makes you wonder about what else has to be discovered.

BTW, thanks Agaliha for including a link to the Gospel of Judas :).
