Mayybe the word is the problem - I am not equating them, I am comparing them, looking for inconsistencies, and, in all honesty, consistencies.
I think the gospal of judas is exactly what it proports to be - sour grapes. "I did not betray Jesus, HE MADE ME DO IT!"
But...folks who cite their particular version of the bible, without examining any of the others, leave me shaking my head.
well you came across as happy slappy, there is no right or wrong, no one has the original of the Bible, so who really knows. and that to me just sounds like a way to justify doing whatever you want and saying there is no moral absolute. i don't believe it, and that attitude totally annoys me. if you didn't intend that, fine. but that is how it came across.
