Gospel of Judas.I read the article by Ian Hunter Ian Hunter is the name of:
He wonders if this gospel could be "authentic." What does authentic mean? Written by Judas? No! Because Judas died before he had a chance to do so. Is it written by someone shortly after? Of course. Someone had to write it. Does he think maybe it was inspired by the Holy Spirit? I hope not, because that would be going against the authentic teaching of the Church that the gospel books we now have, and only these, are inspired by the Holy Spirit. Next he says that Jesus clearly told his disciples "who the betrayer was." This is not true. He only symbolically told John, and there is no evidence that John passed this on to anyone else. Given the number of times in the past that the apostles APOSTLES. In the British courts of admiralty, when a party appeals from a decision made against him, he prays apostles from the judge, which are brief letters of dismission, stating the case, and declaring that the record will be transmitted. 2 Brown's Civ. and Adm. Law, 438; Dig. 49. 6. misunderstood mis·un·der·stood v. Past tense and past participle of misunderstand. adj. 1. Incorrectly understood or interpreted. 2. Jesus because of His use of symbols and parables, it is no wonder that John did not immediately confront Judas. How could he be sure that he understood Jesus correctly? Then Prof. Hunter suggests that whether or not this manuscript manuscript, a handwritten work as distinguished from printing. The oldest manuscripts, those found in Egyptian tombs, were written on papyrus; the earliest dates from c.3500 B.C. is genuine, "it just might assist us in understanding" the part that Judas played. If this manuscript can have any credence, then so can The Poem of The Man God, by Maria Valtorta Maria Valtorta (14 March 1897 – †12 October 1961) was an Italian writer and poet, considered by many to be a mystic. Her work centers on Catholic Christian themes. . In this book she records messages that she received from Jesus, and here we find that Jesus tried His best to persuade Judas not to go into Jerusalem that week of the Passover. He tried to get Judas to go to a particular house and wait there for them until after the Passover and He and the other apostles would meet him there. Judas refused. In Valtorta's book it is revealed by Jesus why Judas did what he did: it was to regain his status back in the temple. I know that this book by Maria Valtorta is not inspired by the Holy Spirit as the Gospels are, but I feel that there is more truth in Valtorta's book than in the Gospel of Judas. Scarborough, ON |
