Is Judas the new Jesus???
"........you will exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me....... you will be cursed by the other generations - and you will come to rule over them"
Jesus to trusted friend , ally and most preferred apostle , Judas Iscariot , in the Gospel of Judas.
Judas Iscariot, the name synonymous with treachery, hatred and betrayal, who sold his companion for money for his Crucifixion, might be an innocent man. A tall claim? Not if the gospel of Judas is to be believed, whose findings were recently made public....
GoJ portrays Judas as the man truest to god , as someone who was following Jesus's request to betray him. But if GoJ exonerates the man after whom it has been written , then why was it kept a secret for so long?
Is is believed that judas handed Christ over to the Roman authorities as he was helping him fulfill his divine mission and attaining salvation by sacrificing is life for humans....
if Christianity upholds the virtue of sacrifice... doesn't Judas deserve a better place in the history... wasn't he "used" by Jesus to attain salvation....didn't Jesus act selfish?whereas Judas sarcificed , yet suffered.
Is the biggest and the most popular faith in danger? Can it defend the very virtues it has been upholding for the past two thousand years???
Time to rethink over your beliefs!!!!!!

hey! dear indeed what you say is true but then .. we are all players in this huge drama called life and we have roles..
everyone has a role which he/she is destined to play!!
having said that i must say ..Good thinking...only a few can question old beleifs.
Iam not saying its wrong to question..all iam saying is that these are mere roles played by people how can you be identified as a good person unless there is someone bad to compare your goodness with....
yep dear..theory of relativity!!!!!!!!!! lol
I, Miss Sood, am of the opinion that we need'nt rethink our beliefs but question the rationality of them instead.
Christianity, I hold, is not about Jesus. It is a way of life.
If only people would stop bickering over stories in the Gospels ...
Jesus was mortal.
So was Judas.
Jesus was the Son of God.
So was Judas.
Let's just leave it at that.
