Give it a few years and the liberals will be celebrating Judasmas.

Judas was absolutely necessary to the story of Jesus. Without his betrayal, known in advance, according to the story, by Jesus, the arrest and ensuing events would not have occurred.

When did he have time to write a gospel? Presumably between the time he was hanging on the tree until his rotten body fell off and he burst.

Judas betrayal was foretold by Jesus so I see no reason to discredit him. Did he really have a choice?

Hah, good point. I wonder why they didn't point that out in the article.
To: sandbar
It's probably not "his" but a description of what his gospel would look like if he did one. Quite a bit of that went on back then.
The Devil using Judas to kill Christ is one of the greatest ironies. Satan thinks he scored a great victory and ends up wearing Gatorade while his team suffers a huge loss.

Interesting article. Might be worth pinging the GRPL, just for fun.

Yes... because, apparently, God used the Devil to use Judas to kill Jesus.

yes he had a choice...God knew what choice he was going to make.
that's the diff between predestination and foreknowledge...
of course that's just my opinion...and I could be wrong.

Could be as interesting a read as the Gospel according to Mary.
The gnostic gospels I believe add alot to better see the history and early years rather than the edited version from the Council of Nicea.

Epiphanius, bishop of Cyprus, criticized the Gospel of Judas for treating the betrayer of Jesus as commendable, one who "performed a good work for our salvation." Introductions to the gospels will be provided by Pelosi, Murtha, Kennedy and Kerry!

Yes... because, apparently, God used the Devil to use Judas to kill Jesus.I agree, but what does this say about free will? Regardless, it is another of many examples in the Bible of human nature and weakness.

God knew what choice he was going to make.Doesn't that by its nature eliminate choice?
of course that's just my opinion...and I could be wrong.
As can I. We are dealing as best we can with the tools and conditioning given us.
