I’ll trust the head of the department of religion at Baylor University. I was taught that John MAY have written the book of John but the authors of the others are unknown. They didn’t appear until long after Mathew. Luke and Mark were dead.
As for Judas, I will always believe Jesus gave him the order so prophecy could be fulfilled. And by doing this he knew his name would be slandered throughout the ages. All he had to do was not dip his bread when Jesus dipped his. Had he not done that no one today would know who he was.
That’s my belief. When I get to Heaven, I’ll know. My question to you is “What will you say when you get to Heaven and bump into Judas?” Remember, we humans are not to judge.
BAYLOR! Why didn’t you say so at first, and I would not have wasted my time. Tickle your ears, but I tried to warn you.
