  • The Gospel of Judas caused a huge stir when National Geographic published it back in 2006. But to this day, misconceptions about this text abound. Who wrote this text? And what does it really say?

      Have you ever heard of hesychasm or the noetic prayer ? Advanced practice leads to a state of illumination and glorification where one becomes constantly aware of Gods uncreated light. A state of ecstasy. Some people who have attained this practice, when they pass, their bodies don't decay normally, sometimes for decades. These holy relics even have a beautiful smell to them and one can feel them radiating. Please could you make us a video on your experiences with this practice. ua-cam.com/video/Pe4OtnPJGpo/v-deo.html

It's so nice to see a presentation about religions that's purely academic and not biased toward any of them. I've loved to study religions myself as a hobby. However, without enrolling in a good college-level theology or divinity class, I've found it difficult to find material that's not either skewed toward or against religion(s) to just study them. Keep up the great work. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you.

      I suggest strongly that you buy the COMPANION BIBLE. Scripture, using hermeneutics (one of my hobbies for the past 20 years) by E.W. Bullinger and completed by Moffit, includes appendices that truly details the many misinterpretations that various religions have used to control congregations for selfish reasons rather than preaching the TRUTH. This is often the fault of preachers and seminary faculty who refuse to question what they have been taught. Reading the COMPANION Bible will help anyone with an open mind and true desire to learn will allow the reader or student to actually make sense of Scripture without bias to any particular denomination or sect.

      You can use a Strong’s Bible Concordance to translate find the correct translations yourself. There’s even a Concordance Bible called the Interlinear Bible to help. It’s been extremely helpful to me in understanding the Word much better. So many people miss the importance of the fact that the people of the Bible are Hebrew and there are cultural and language barriers that muddy the context of Scripture, as you said. The Bible can’t be separated from the very people it’s about, but let most Christians tell it’s not an issue to do that.

    I’ve read the gospel of Judas multiple times. As a former Catholic I can safely say that the text certainly appears to show Judas as being someone extremely special to Jesus. He might not of been his “best“ friend, but he clearly is his number one pupil. The mission that he gives Judas is of the utmost importance in fulfilling his destiny which is something the others are portrayed as not understanding. The “13th demon” comment might be more of a reference to the apostles who it sounds like are trifling to Jesus at times. Jesus calling Judas the 13th may be a nod to him as being special as opposed to being a traitor.

It seemed like Judas was surprised Jesus was actually condemned to death. So perhaps Judas thought Jesus would get out of it and he would get the money. So Judas's sin was not just betraying Jesus Christ, we could say that he had a role to play and he did it, but his sin was greed.

      This actually has some really neat parallels with Islamic notions of Satan (Iblis) and especially the interpretation of Ibn ʿArabī. The Islamic rebellion narrative casts Satan as the foremost lover of God. When God demands that he bow to humanity, he is stuck with the impossible choice of either disrespecting God by bowing to something lesser than God or disobeying God. Because he is the true lover of God, he chooses disobedience, because it is better to suffer separation from the beloved than to dishonour him. Even so, Satan leads us towards God from heaven. All love is a reflection of divine love, and so our petty, sinful loves are just an indirect love of God. Satan leads us towards those petty loves and so towards love of God. Ultimately, Satan will be rewarded for his enduring faith, love, and hard work and will be honoured when the judgement comes.
      As for my interpretation of the Christian role of Judas, I see it a lot like how I see the temptation. Jesus is incorruptible. He can't be tempted. But he knows that temptation is an important part of our journey towards salvation, so he goes through temptations as a model for us even though he can't really be tempted. Likewise, he understands that we can only really be inspired to action when we lose something. He is eternal and all-loving and can't really lose anything, but he needs to show us what the path to righteousness looks like, so he (according to the canon) allows or (according to GoJ) requests that Judas betray him so that we can see how his great power and our salvation come out of loss, betrayal, and suffering. The reason why he couldn't have gone to the soldiers or even just crucified himself is that action comes from external loss and betrayal.

      +Johan Bester --- you have misunderstood my comment. My point is that modern Christianity and the current editing of the bible DOES portray Judas as a simplistic straw-man character, set up to be a punching bag for Christians. What I'm pointing out, however, is gnostic texts portray a more complicated, important relationship. Specifically, the Gnostic Gospel of Judas imply Jesus and Judas planned the betrayal beforehand... together... as a means of enlightening mankind.
      This debate did exist prior to the discovery of the Gnostic text. People have argued Judas was/is the first to be forgiven. Further, the kiss of Judas during the 'betrayal' was not meant as an evil gesture, but as an act of devotion. Judas identified Jesus so that Jesus could fulfill his role, in doing so he fulfilled his own role. Judas also offered to return the money, implying there was no personal gain. Apart from the 'death' scenes in some books, Judas is portrayed much more blandly and benignly than is often taught by modern Christians.
      Also, it has been argued, somewhat convincingly I would say, Jesus' character is portrayed in such a way throughout that Judas was meant to be forgiven, or even pitied. That is, we are not meant to believe the son of God would hold a grudge or want us to do so... that LITERALLY defeats the purpose of the religion.

For example, Gods Kingdom could mean the whole of creation? Or it could mean a specifically chosen place or group of people in creation? Or it could mean a spiritual realm outside of physical creation? Or it could mean a certain level ''spiritual awareness' that you can achieve? Non of these things are incompatible with a 'sinful' falling short human being Light cannot exist without the dark Try describing light if you have never seen darkness?

      Because they are God, and he wanted to rule over them and the world and to try to ascend to the Heavens and this is the reason why impure entities and souls cannot enter Heaven, but in truth the ten commandments have been overtaken and they have been extended to be misused to enslave the people and it has nothing to with God at all

    To be clear, the fist line of Genesis is not "In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth." That is an English mistranslation. The original text translated to English is "In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the Earth." Elohim is plural.
    Judaism is not a monotheistic religion. It is a henotheistic religion, worshiping a particular god over other gods. "Thou shalt have no other gods (plural again) before me." Notice the implication is not that there aren't other gods, that is implicitly affirmed, but that one shall not have any of those gods worshiped ahead of of this particular one.

      (1) The mistranslation is "In the beginning" - the Hebrew word בראשית means "In the beginning *of*," i.e. it's probably more accurate to translate it as "In the beginning of God's creating the heavens and the earth. . . " (even the earliest commentators discuss the difficulty of the Hebrew grammar, because it's not clear what the object of the preposition is).
      (2) The first verse of Genesis uses a singular verb, which is a difficulty for your translation, especially when you consider that when "Elohim" is intended as a plural, a plural verb is used.

    Obviously Judas WAS NOT considered evil by Jesus referring to him as a "demon". The term had no negative connotation until well after Christianity had become the religion of the Roman Empire. After that the old gods were demoted to the realm of benevolent spirits; later to be replaced by the calendar of saints, again, benevolent spirits, not evil beings.

    Correction: Judas Iscariot did NOT betray Jesus. He did as he was supposed to, so that god's plan might be fulfilled. It was Simon called Peter ("the stone") who denied Jesus and betrayed his trust. This is according to the standard bible. If you cannot remember this. read again: Peter denied Jesus three times when he was asked by a person on the street.
    Meaning that the entire church tradition descended from the Roman church was corrupted from the start.
