Who cares what Craig Hill says.

Zealots sought the complete destruction of the Romans, which was an action Jesus did not come here to do.

When Judas realized that Jesus came to offer peace and salvation to all people, he believed that Jesus was not the Christ and thus betrayed Him for 30 pieces of silver.

If Judas was carrying out the will of God as this so-called "Gospel" says, then why did he commit suicide shortly thereafter?

This "Gospel" is in complete contradiction with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. John's Gospel indicates that Judas was overcome by Satan at the Last Supper. So who are you going to believe? The Beloved Apostle, or Judas?

What you say may very well be true. And many parts of the Gospel of Judas may also be true. There is not that much contradiction.


John appears to be the least reliable of the four accepted Gospels, and had an agenda of marginalizing and insulting the existing Jewish community. Mark was completely neutral about Judas, and it is believed that that Gospel is the most authoritative and earliest version of what really transpired.
