	Did Jesus Ask Judas to Betray Him? : Religion News Blog
		It is Judas alone who is not forgiven, condemned to the seventh level of hell in Dante’s “Inferno,” eaten head-first by Lucifer.
		The Gospel according to Judas, written between the third and fourth century, was believed to be a copy of a much older document written in Greek in the second century.
		“The Gospel of Judas does suggest that the betrayal of Jesus is not a reprehensible act, not the act of a traitor, you know, the worst villain in the history of the world, but that it’s a secret mystery between him and Jesus,” she said.

		The Gospel of Judas is part of the literature created by Gnostics, heretical Christians who sought to dissociate Jesus and Christianity from their Jewishness, and who saw him as part of a sort of pantheon of heavenly beings.
		Despite its alleged kosher certification of Judas Iscariot, the Gospel of Judas is part of a literature that represents a sort of alternative anti-Judaism to that which developed in the era of the Church Fathers.
		Lawrence H. Schiffman is Edelman Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies and chair of the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at New York University.

	The Gospel of Judas
		The Gospel of Judas does suggest that the betrayal of Jesus is not a reprehensible act, not the act of a traitor, you know, the worst villain in the history of the world, but that it's a secret mystery between him and Jesus.
		Judas was one of Christ’s disciples and treasurer of the company, but Satan entered him and he became a devil’s son.
		Judas and Antichrist are the "SONS OF PERDITION" in a special sense, for they are the SONS of the author of "Perdition"—THE DEVIL.

		The inference is that Jesus chose Judas from among his 12 apostles to be the instrument for Jesus' own liberation from the world of matter into the world of the spirit.
		The "Gospel of Judas" would be a document of this sort, which could have great historical value, since it contributes to our knowledge of the Gnostic movement, but it poses no direct challenge to Christianity.
		Historically, many have thought that Judas is probably in hell, because of Jesus' severe indictment of Judas: "It would be better for that man if he had never been born," as he says in Matthew 26:24.

	Whim Internet Magazine - Season 19
		The Gospel of Judas is structured as a dialogue between Jesus and Judas.
		Judas has been singled out by Jesus to be the one who truly receives what Jesus has been sent to teach--namely, the secrets of the universe and salvation, both Sethian in nature.
		Judas is then given the task of betraying Jesus, but, far from the heinous act it's depicted as in the Synoptic Gospels, here it is the greatest task that one can fulfill, for it is through Jesus' death that humanity can be saved.

	Judas as Patron Saint (Mark 14:21)
		Had Judas been confronted with the challenge "Deny the Messiah or die" only a few weeks earlier, while still hoping Jesus was the real messiah, he would probably have been the first Christian martyr.
		Perhaps after shuddering with relief upon remembering what he almost did, Judas might have gone on to become one who, like Paul, was "unworthy to be called an apostle" but nonetheless proved to be a great apostle.
		In many ways, we are as guilty as Judas in the death of God; yet from this death we hope for infinite benefit.

	Judas Reviews
		Judas is not mentioned in the earliest Christian writings, the letters known as epistles, many written by the Apostle Paul between AD 40 and 60.
		The Judas story "was exploited as anti-Jewish polemic in dramatic literature and art, depicting Judas with grossly exaggerated Semitic features and generalizing his love for money," wrote the late Roman Catholic scholar Raymond Brown, whose twovolume study, "The Death of the Messiah," is considered to be among the most authoritative published.
		And some of the scholars now reinterpreting Judas' story say openly that their efforts are driven, at least in part, by a desire to fully rid the churches of anti-Semitic vestiges.

		On foot Judas hurried on, not noticing the menacing turrets of the fortress of Antonia, deaf to the call of trumpets from the fortress, oblivious of the Roman mounted patrol with their torches that threw an alarming glare across his path.
		Crossing the dusty, moonlit road Judas hurried on towards the stream Kedron and crossed it, the water bubbling softly under his feet as he leaped from stone to stone.
		Judas climbed, panting, occasionally emerging from darkness into chequered carpets of moonlight which reminded him of the carpets in the shop kept by Niza's jealous husband.

		At the heart of the Gospel of Judas is a revelation of this unknown god.
		Whereas the four canonical gospels are written for all people to read and understand, the Gospel of Judas (as well as the other Nag Hammadi documents) are written by and for an educated elite with some level of philosophical sophistication.
		The teaching found in the Gospel of Judas is thoroughly consistent with the kind of Gnostic teaching that is reflected in the Nag Hammadi documents and other Gnostic sources.

	UTS: What is the Point of the Gospel of Judas? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Rather the insightful and courageous Judas of this gospel is named as such to represent a lineage of wisdom that goes back to Jesus, but is not corrupted and decadent like those who claim to be in the line of the twelve disciples.
		This Judas is a symbolic figure who stands in opposition to the conventional leadership of Christianity at the time of its writing.
		Most likely, this choice of Judas as the true representative of Jesus’ message came from the author of this ancient gospel’s discouragement at the corruption of apostolic-based movements and the appeal of Judas as someone who had always been represented as outside that apostolic circle.

	IsraCast: AJC's Rabbi David Rosen on publication of Gospel of Judas
		It appears to be of monumental importance in that it indicated that Judas Iscariot did not betray Jesus to the Romans for thirty pieces of silver.
		On the contrary, Christian scholars say it proves Judas was acting on the instructions of Jesus because: Jesus says it is necessary for someone to free him finally from his human body’ and that he preferred this be done by a friend rather than an enemy.
		Judas Iscariot, portrayed in history as the ultimate Jewish traitor, was acting on the instructions of Jesus.

		According to the NGC, the shocking part is that poor Judas betrayed no one, that he was loyal to Christ, loyal beyond all human measure, so committed that he obeyed the command to turn over "the man that clothes him," as Jesus referred to his bodily vessel.

		I think you have very divergent perspectives, and that's what led someone like Bishop Irenaeus back in 180 AD to feel the Gospel of Judas, that he at least was familiar with, whether or not he had read it, that he felt this was not ultimately an authentic portrait of what was mainstream Christianity.
		The people who wrote gospels like the Gospel of Judas or the Gospel of Thomas, they differed from one another in many ways, and certainly there was a lot of diversity in that movement, as Father Senior says rightly.
		The Gospel of Judas, except for the fascinating reversal of roles for Judas, a lot of the text I think is sort of the kind of astral speculation and discourse of Jesus that many modern readers anyway would find rather perplexing rather than inspiring.

		Luke, in the Acts of the Apostles, does not ascribe penitence to Judas, and does not narrate his death by hanging, but says that he stumbled and his internal organs exploded (a favorite mode of death for Luke).
		Judas (as Runeberg acutely demonstrated) knew best of all what Jesus taught; if Peter was the rock on whom Jesus established his congregation, Judas was the restless discontent into whom Jesus instilled his subversive spirit of inquiring and teaching.
		One legend has it that Judas did not in fact die, but moved from place to place, raising unwelcome questions, scribbling pseudonymous tracts against hypocrisy, against greed, against exploitation.

		Thus it is not by Judas and does not provide any “information” about Jesus and the apostles that is not already available in the Gospels of the New Testament.
		It portrays Judas as a hero because he agreed to kill Jesus and thus release Jesus from his evil body so his spiritual self could be set free.
