It was a gnostic gospel, which means it was written to promote the gnostic sect. Paul addressed this in Galatians 1:8-9...\n\n"But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed."\n\nThis is the only instance in the Bible where a double-anathma is pronounced. It is pretty heavy in the Greek.

It is not canonical and it is, also, a gnostic "gospel".....\n\nIt does not change anything....

I watched it.  I doubt it will stir up any thoughts among the people who most need the thoughts.  The Pope left it off the list of the New Testament so no one uses it.  Since I accept papal authority and the authority of the episcopate, it isn't an issue for me.  It is an interesting view into early Christianity but none of the thoughts are new.  I think there are profound implications for Protestants, but I don't think they will notice them.  By brushing it off as outside the canon, they are ignoring the issue of how the canon was determined.  They do not have a formal mechanism of rejecting it, but why do they stick with the Catholic NT.  I don't understand that.  I could see not accepting Judas, by why not Hermas or Barnabas or I Clement?\n\nThat is something I don't get, there is no reason for Protestants to not use them except an appeal to apostolic tradition which they reject.\n\nI would like to see the entire translation when it is done, to the extent it is recovered.  Should make for an interesting view into that early period of ideas.  From my viewpoint reading Judas is like reading Calvin, they hold the same weight and correctness and so are interesting because they are, from an ideas point of view, valid ideas just not valid teaching.

No, it's a horrible book. It's definitely a bad book to get your morals from, it's not truth, it's horribly written fiction... the only reason to read the Bible is if you're looking to become an atheist!

thats nice... you also watched that!!!\n\nactually, there is alot of inconsistent details in the bible but nonetheless the same....\n\njudas' gospel was very compelling it contradicted the 4 gospels but i guess you wouldn't believe in that unless you have a strong faith towards jesus...\n\n\nnow, i'm having a hard time thinking.......

First of all, I think all this hype at Easter time about a supposedly hidden gospel, written by a major player in the crucifixion story is a little suspect....imagine......... television trying to get ratings...lol.\n\nOn the other hand, if it is an actual document recorded by people who had Judas' story handed down to them (like the four big gospels), I've always wondered if Judas actually imagined to the point of belief that HE was the center of bringing about the new government.  \n\nHe may have actually thought that Jesus was giving him some kind of signals to carry out the dirty work. He certainly hasn't been the last person to believe he was getting divine direction to commit a crime in the name of God. Especially if money was involved.\n\nAnd before anyone tries to defend Judas' actions or say that what Judas did was "God's will" and "part of The Plan", don't forget the Sanhedrin was determined to do away with Christ. They didn't have to have Judas.

I can't say if it's real or not.  But I think whatever religion you follow, you should check out it's scriptures.  It's important to be able to control your own mind and not rely so much on an outside source.  What's more important than a religion's history is how you practice. I have read that around three dozen or more books were left out of the bible.  It might be interesting to learn what they read and why they were left out.  Maybe it was felt they were unimportant or redundant.  I don't know.  I have read this Gospel of Judas and I don't see anything negative about it.  But this is only my opinion.

There are no hidden 'facts'.  A few years ago we had the movie Stigmata revealing a hidden Gospel.  It turns out to be the Gospel of Thomas, readily available at any Barnes and Noble.  The Church certainly did a good job of suppressing that one.  Dan Brown 'unearths' the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, a Gnostic Gospel similarly in print for many centuries.  I have a copy myself.  It is in a Collection titled "Hidden Gospels".  It has not been suppressed.  It is simply not believed by mainstream Christians.  Most recently we have the Gospel of Judas.  This is another Gnostic Gospel condemned by early Church leaders at least as early as 180 A.D.  These are all historical documents that have been known to scholars for many years.  They have been on the dustheap for all those years simply because they haven't been seen as credible by any reasonable historian or theologian.

I don't believe the pseudopigrapha is inspired or that it should be part of the Bible. So I'd say it has no more eschatological significance than any other devotional book written by humans who can err.

It's the kind of nonsense that makes for war and keeps people separate from each other. Not what i think Jesus was really going for in his lifetime here. I don't think this sort of thing helps anyone but the church.

:}\nIf it is the same document that existed in the first and second century, it was treated as heresy then and should be now\n\nif it isn't, it's a fake

Um, there IS a gospel of Judas, and it says NOTHING about Judas being the Messiah. You can read it for yourself at the link. What's with the disdainful way you phrase your questions? I know it has little to do with beliefs, because I've met many a respectful and tolerant atheist and agnostic on this site.
