They have good publicists at big publishing houses; they make lots of money on their fictional novels, and they strike the jackpot when their books are turned into movies!

Nice shot, LOL

If he had repented Judas might have been Saint Judas.

The article states: "Though it still must be authenticated, it is likely a copy of an earlier document produced by a second-century Gnostic sect called the Cainites."

Notice, it is at best 2nd century. Historians normally give more weight to eye-witness accounts than those written long after the events. But, not so in the case of liberal Christian revisionists.

In the 4 gospels we have:

Matthew, an eye-witness
Mark, the "secretary" to Peter, an eye-witness
Luke, a contemporary of the apostles
John, an eye-witness

Yeah, the 2nd century documents should be given more weight..right.

The Nag Hammadi gospels have been around for many years and the gospel of judas is just one example. They're interesting from an archaeological and historical standpoint but shouldn't be used to undermine the canonical gospels (as the atheists in newsrooms have attempted).
