The Gospel of Thomas is perhaps the most important non-canonical piece of (ancient) Scripture. As for the "Gospel of Judas," I can promise you this: Yeshua One with Christ ("Jesus Christ") was the most joyful man to ever walk the face of this Earth. He was nearly always smiling and laughing, and this was simply not mentioned in the canonical books, for whatever reason. He even smiled upon the cross; quite the opposite of Mel Gibson's portrayal. Because, He knows what this world does not, although He told the world quite clearly. But few have ears to hear. I am a prophet of GOD; the prophesied return of the biblical prophet Elijah. I have come to re-state the "Good News" of Jesus Christ, which has been corrupted and misrepresented. Listen, when GOD says "good news," GOD means GOOD NEWS! Want to know more?

By the way, Gnosticism was indeed the original form of Christianity. Gnosis is knowledge gained on a personal basis. And one of the greatest errors was to create a group-consensus, formal type of religion. Thus sayeth the LORD: "Formal religion is a contradiction in terms." One must find Truth for oneself, else one is seeking something other than Truth. For this is POLITICS; not religion. And politics is not the road to Truth. Quite the opposite. Also, Judas turned Jesus in for only one reason: to hasten the promised coming of the Kingdom of GOD. Like many people to this day, he didn't understand that "The Kingdom of GOD comes not with observation...the Kingdom of GOD is within you." Jesus came to remind we-who have-forgotten WHO WE ARE. Good news like you can't even imagine. No, Judas didn't understand. Like us, he didn't understand that a man's efforts to make his own will be done is the ORIGINAL ERROR ("sin") that caused our fall into this world of separation and limitation. And Judas committed suicide when GOD's will was done instead of his - not realizing that the crucifixion was indeed GOD's will, so that all the Earth would remember that the Perfect Man gladly accepted GOD's will as His own. "Shall I not drink from the cup the Father has given me?" And THIS is the long-sought Holy Grail; the fact that GOD's will IS done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.

All ancients knew of the promised resurrection of the Dead (Reincarnation), virgin birth, and Judgement Day of the Righteous and Wicked souls; To be perfect is to be complete according to set standard, mathematical law of absolutes good vs evil. The true opposite of love is unholy selfishness, the epitome of pride is self-righteousness (unmerited value/unlawfully agreed). People confuse pride with its righteous opposite which is Glory/Honor all ancients sought. Good is that of Truth/Holy Lawful Order, & Justice. Evil is that of Lies, unlawful disorder, chaos. Jesus Christ is the Law and the Test of Faith & Heart concerning righteousness and ritual purity that which is Holy; whereby Jesus Christ the word of God in the flesh is the standard of measure how a person is judged as good or evil based on their choice to receive God's payment blood covering sacrifice through Jesus Christ's Perfect Lawful Life.

My read of it is that Judas is preferred by Jesus because Judas is willing to serve his destiny despite the judgement he'd receive in history. To willingly serve one's role in God's play, doing what needs to be done to complete a greater destiny regardless of how others see it, could be seen as being more holy than blindly following worldly rules and conceptions. This is true martyrdom. This is why Jesus laughs at the other apostles who are praying over bread. They can only see what is right in the eyes of Man, but Jesus prefers Judas because he is willing to do what is right/necessary in the eyes of God. The crucifixion and resurrection had to happen. Judas was willing to follow God's plan despite the cost to himself, and thus he is preferred and closer to God.
Extremely eerie that the text cuts off when such significant things are to be stated. Almost as if we are being laughed at and mocked for wanting to know
I agree. No way they accidentally messed it up by freezing it and are actively trying to put it back together. I'm really sick of the deception and lies.
I've been keeping up with this for about 15 years. Even before I had ever heard of the Gospel of Judas I was of the opinion that Judas and Jesus were doing certain things to fulfill Messianic prophecy from the habraic scriptures.
how about i say to you to discard this trash here and see it as coming from Satan??, whose aim is to deceive and mislead many and misrepresent the Truth.
I read the gospel of Judas when it 1st came out. It made me think about the account of Judas' betrayal in the gospel of John. Much effort was put into smearing Judas, but the last supper scene reads like Jesus wanted Judas to sell him out.
@@DirtBagTelevisionyea cuz he truly knows Jesus . It’s not Jesus dying that will save us it’s his teachings that will. And once we know our selve is when we will know The great spirit . The Christianity we know imo Is false because why would they burn this .
@@louistech112It’s not that the Christianity we know is completely “false” it’s that the Christianity we know became an empire religion which claimed a monopoly on truth which restricted personal revelation. The first thing the new Roman Catholic Church did was commit a genocide against the Manichaeans who also worshiped Jesus, Buddha, Zarathustra, and Mani as great spiritual beings. This monopolistic Christianity is the falsity, it is an idolatry. Christianity and Buddhism are very similar, transcend the lower powers, sin in Christianity and ignorance in Buddhism. There is great value in overcoming the lower powers, or at least gaining insight into it, and to forgive ourselves and others for our human condition.
The Gospel Of Judas is likely one of many early answers to the theological conundrum of free will. Since Jesus was sent knowingly for a sacrifice like unto the Lamb Of God, this became a form of theological heresy within Judaism(and continues to be so, as well as in Islamic theology). Since the concept of Jesus' sacrifice is key and central to Christian doctrine, it would make God look evil(as portrayed by gnostic thinkers), and Judas' betrayal being a paradox of evil which was a necessary good to fulfil the divine will of God. Thus one could conclude from the gnostic viewpoint that Judas was not a true traitor, that he was the necessary piece in this struggle of a world ruled by darkness.
@@yuripetrovic7606 No. Anyone who denies the trinity and the nature of Christ and the father is inherently not a Christian. Same with Mormons. Islam believes in Jesus, but that he wasn't the son of God, therefore they are not Christians.
@@lordofthered1257 ...they're Gnostics. They're a very early sect of Christianity that existed before Rome left Jerusalem (probably long after as well) that revolves around "hidden knowledge". At this time, what you believe probably didn't exist yet. Christianity was more firmly Judaism. So yeah, they're Christians. A very old and now mostly extinct sect of them.

Awesome video… I grew up baptist but as you begin to notice that every sermon is of the same topical verse and that the book is a collection other canonical works never discussed, you begin to venture on your own biblical learning. Mine has lead me to numerous canons covering various religions. When asked, I am more spiritual the religious, I see the Creator within not the biblical version taught. Since the existence of man, man has always associated an earthly experience with a divine. Thankfully we are in a time where one can explore various religious texts without being persecuted for it. Note this is just my opinion and mine alone. I’ve read some ill stated comments on other channels which were totally uncalled for. We are not in a debate forum, we are here view and take away what has been presented 🙏🏽
I’ve never understood why Judas was so reviled by modern religious scholars. The entire purpose of Christ was to die for the world’s sins, so it was inevitable that someone would need to betray him. Jesus never cursed Judas, in fact he knew exactly what Judas was doing. And it’s the very text about Judas committing suicide over his remorse that has lead Christian’s to believe suicide is wrong and sinful. Interesting dichotomy about this character.
Great video man! I like the way you explained the history of the gospel then gave us an in-depth overview of what it actually says. I liked the editing too. I felt I could really imagine the story taking place. I wish you had the resources to turn these videos into full blown documentaries. That would be pretty awesome!
I had learned that Judas was a “good guy” who had the “horrendous job” (at Jesus’ request) of turning Jesus over to the Authorities and Pontious Pilate to be crucified. The reason was because Judas was the only disciple intelligent enough to understand the information Jesus would tell him.
Correct sister, judas represents scorpio in the zodiac (12 disciples, 12 signs) a scorpions sting looks like the lip marks of a human kiss, it actually represents the sun (jesus) being kissed/stung by scorpio as he (the sun) passes through scorpio and descends into winter (hell in the old world) xx

The book is about you. It is symbol of the state of consciousness. Judas simply is. It is your judgement that makes him evil or not. He betrayed jesus. But you cannot betray God if you love God which he did love Him, he followed him. That did not come without risk. He was not there for the fun. The bible always asks the reader to look at oneself. You are the image of God. Meaning the living symbol like a word made flesh. So judge not. Judas was not carrying out his own will, the question is was he SELF AWARE. When carrying it out. Are YOU self aware when you read or do you simply keep it a symbol at an arms length.

Bro he was self aware he took silver coins. On the spot no need for any questions and snitched him out, just like you do to your plug for example . Despite them taking care of you, you’ll do it for money and go buy a sack from another dealer. Trash. Also you’ll sit and judge others and blame your projection of yourself to them and won’t be able to be okay not doing so. You know yourself sucks too, and you don’t know why you don’t care if you do and still love yourself and ways. Funny shit… he was representing human in human nature. He had a crack that the devil was able to get through to him by, as the Bible states. Reality is anything can be different or changed no matter who you are and it takes one choice. Justify it being gods plan or blame the devil, even if you blame it for the apple in the garden bs… if your desperate. What I see is what it is and it’s humans that are being humans no I’m not excusing it doesn’t make it okay or acceptable but it is what it is. You can or can’t accept what it will be either way, he might not do it one time and another universe he does . In the heat of that moment Judas wanted some quarters nigga
Even when I was... way to young to be thinking about this sort of thing, I always contemplated "why is judas labeled as bad". I thought... he carried out God's divine will... what if Jesus walked up to you and said "hey, I need you to betray me and everyone is going to view you as super evil, cuz you are killing the messiah, but it's ok. It has to happen. Trust me". That would be so hard to do... like.. everything inside says it's a bad thing to do.. but Judas had to have extreme faith in order to carry the divine plan.. I have been having problems with trust lately... 😕
I thought about that too was he really evil or was it part of God's plan because jesus had to die that was part of his mission to be the sacrifice for our sins But don't forget right before he betrayed him it was written that satan entered Judas satan cannot enter someone without permission So Judas really was of the devil and evil in my opinion
@@Greekhalo2010 this is true in Luke.. and Luke only.. the only other of the 4 gospels that suggest real betrayal is mathew.. by saying he went to see what he could get for turning Jesus over.. but it's "the gospel according to".. so this is what an imperfect, non omniscient man saw from his own point of view. All it takes is one conversation that judas and Jesus had in private to totally change perspective on the incident. If Jesus and judas had a conversation planning the crucifixion that Luke didn't know about, it may appear to him that "the devil entered judas".. In the beginning was the word. And the word was God. And the word was with God... i think the most accurate way to look at this is to replace "the word" with "truth" . The "gospels" did not exist at this time.. ya know? But truth did. So I really need to do more research and comparing... honestly never realized that it said "the devil entered judas".. in Luke... but... for the past 6 to 10 months my guts been associating Luke with Lucifer... idk why I've gotten that feeling... no real reason for it... but the feeling remains...
You are forgetting the fact that Jesus specifically pointed out at the Passover dinner that one of his disciples will betray him. It's not betrayal if you were specifically obeying Jesus specific commandment Judas even killed himself out of guilt for doing what he did and he went back to the people he saw Jesus to and try to give the money back Jesus also even said it would have been better if Judas had not been born. Why would Jesus say that if he specifically asked Judah to betray him? It's also important to remember the fact that the Old Testament told a prophecy about the Messiah being sold for 30 shekels of silver.
Loved this video! I've seen other videos about the gospel of Judas but this one was the easiest to follow and very scholarly as well! Great job! Please keep making videos!
@@davidlafleche1142 How do you know anything about God ???? Unless his Holy Spirit is operating in you talking to you personally and directing your life YOU ARE CLUELESS ABOUT GOD!! History has lied to us and the Great AWAKENING is from God personally 🙏 He wants us AWARE OF everything that has been hidden in plain sight!!
I know God, I walk in covenant with God and I Love God. I fear God as well and that is the beginning of Love because until you fear disobeying God and causing God to look upon you in shame so you feel horrible then you can not love Him. I started this walk when I was 32, to look for God. I started to actually begin to find God when I was 39 and sealed myself to God as the gospel tells us to, those of us who listen to the gospel teacher and not the ones who came after him, know to take up the commandments of God and to seek out our roots back to Abraham and to Moses and Yehoshua and the prophets so we become firm in knowledge of what GOD ALONE asked of us. It took me several years of fighting sin and the devil by obeying God. I fought the sin out of me with God's help, by his instructions in the written word. It is a very narrow road and as the mattan/Matthew gospel says very few will find it. We have to fight Satan and the whole world that serves him in sin in order to get out and the one who will help is God alone because we can't trust anyone else. I am with God, God provides for myself and my family and yes there is absolutely evidence BUT not until you absolutely come clean, in thought, word and deed, the absolute opposite of all the lying religions. The gospel was sent down to free us from sin by sending us to our teacher and if you reject it then you are freed from God into sin perpetually and to death spiritually from God which as I can now see is absolutely hell on earth, your light you pretend to have is absolutely darkness caused by your unwillingness to even try to obey God. I speak to 99% of the population. If you can't put everyone first after God and stop yourself from all sin THEN YOUR NOT WORTHY AND YOU ARE ALREADY FINISHED BEFORE YOU EVEN STARTED. So come out of all sun, take up the commandments and begin your battle, call to GOD ALONE, LEARN YOUR ROOTS, BE GOD'S PEOPLE. FIGHT SATAN WHO IS THE SINNERS INNER VOICE, THE CONSCIENCE THAT LEADS YOU TO HURT YOU, that's not you, it's Satan the deceiver. If you come to God and pass the trials cleansing yourself by obedience then GOD WILL BECOME YOUR CONSCIENCE AND YOU WILL LOVE GOD AND HATE SIN, SATAN WILL FLEE FROM YOU. SO there it is Peace, the ball in in your court Be wary of this world, it is the valley of death, you need God's light and God doesn't dwell with sin or sinners. Not until they begin the journey to stop sin. 😀😉

[9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8 the book of Judas is a false gospel
I think the pivot for me was when Judas was initiator of the sacrifice of Jesus. Yes, Jesus was the sacrificial lamb, but for Judas to imply that he was the one that saved Jesus is also implying that he is the savior. If we are reasoning correctly, God the Father, the 1st part of the Trinity, is still the the one who ALLOWS the sacrificing of His Son, even if it was from the hands from Ciaiphas/Judas/the public ,who thought him as a blasphemer. The reason is because God the Father allowed these people to be...ipsum esse subsitens, and practice their free will, remember. This doesn't mean they are right. What also fascinates me is that is almost like the story of Abram and Isaac prefigure this narrative Judas is saying. In my eyes, the story if Isaac and Abram is to show that no man will need to sacrifice their own son to gain favor with God. God intervening at the end was a way to say "yo Abram, you aren't God, of course I won't make you do this. This is a job for me." Judas is the man who goes through with the sacrifice. If he was Abram, Isaac would be dead due to the hubristic idea he had of his role in the creation of salvation. no...just no.
I love these gnostic stories, but you really only understand them when you're initiated in the mysteries and take the moral from that perspective. The origins and roots are grounded in sick truth and what we have now is so distorted it has little meaning.
I saw the Nat Geo special and read the Judas Gospel. To your point, it’s very confusing due to the fact there are gaps in the text (kudos to the scholars who pieced this together). The Gnostic Gospels were discarded because they did not follow Church canon. Many were destroyed, so to be able to read this was amazing. I truly believe God has a purpose for each of us…was Judas the one who was closest to Jesus because he knew he would have to betray him in the end to complete God’s plan? Just a thought.
If that’s the case then god is neutral or evil. And allows sadistic evils, which means he’s not perfect and good. Either he’s imperfect, doesn’t know everything and is still good and pure. Or he knows everything, and still allows evil and suffering and is at the very least a neutral force, or he’s still good but he cannot interrupt the flow of time which means he knows everything but he’s not all powerful.
@@homosexualitymydearwatson4109 It's the second one. But he's not a neutral force. The thing is. Everything has it's negative and as Jesus told Judas in this video. "Don't worry about it." Just like how Jesus was freed from the sinful mortal shell when he died. So to will we when we die. So it's not about what God is doing in THIS life but rather the next. If God didn't "allow" evil then we'd automatically go to Heaven with no choice. He gives us a choice, free will, ability to do and decide as we please. That is THIS life. So in reality evil stems from Sin. Our inherent nature. But we have to choose to believe in God. Aka Faith. I feel like Life is a test to see if we will go against the grain and believe in God and if we do? We go to Heaven. But this is me trying to comprehend an infinite primordial being whose knowledge, desires, and actions cannot be comprehended by us.

We often hear of a gang of thieves plotting to rob and murder a man, and laying a plan to entice him out that they may execute their design, and we always feel shocked at the wickedness of such wretches; but what must we think of a book that describes the Almighty acting in the same manner, and laying plans in heaven to entrap and ruin mankind? Our ideas of His justice and goodness forbid us to believe such stories, and therefore we say that a lying spirit has been in the mouth of the writers of the books of the Bible. -Thomas Paine Founding father of USA
The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. Thomas Jefferson founding father, 3rd US President The dead sea scrolls covering the period from Birth of Jesus to 68 AD , does NOT say one word about Jesus or his 12 Apostles. Hellenistic philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria (20 BCE-50 AD/CE)-alive at the purported time of Jesus, and one of the wealthiest and best connected citizens of the Empire- makes no mention of Christ, Christians or Christianity in his voluminous writings. Nor do any of the hundreds of other historians and writers who flourished during the first THREE centuries of the common era. The DEAD SEA SCROLLS were all written by Pagan Essenes . None of them have been edited by later Christians, as is the case with some other Jewish literature. All the scrolls (except a treasure map known as the Copper Scroll) can be dated prior to A.D. 68 or 69, when the Qumran settlement was believed to have been destroyed by the Romans in the Jewish revolt. The oldest of the scrolls probably goes back to the middle of the third century B.C. The people of Qumran belonged to a Pagan religious group known as the Essenes. Pliny the Elder, who died during the volcanic destruction of Pompeii in the year 79 A.D., described a community of pagan Essenes living on the western shore of the Dead Sea, close to where Khirbet Qumran is situated. John the Baptist was an ascetic Essene . He was a vegan and was uncircumcised . Various literary sources like Josephus and Philo tell clearly that Essenes were ascetics. We also know, from literary testimony, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the archaeological remains of Qumran, that the Essenes practiced many water baptisms for ritual purification-similar to a dip in the Ganges or the river Pampa or at Thiirunelli. At Qumran, however, all members of the community were baptized with water for ritual purification. Josephus writes, "And as for their piety towards God, it is very extraordinary; for before sunrising they speak not a word about profane matters, but put up certain prayers which they have received from their forefathers, as if they made a supplication for its rising" (Wars, 2.8.5). This testimony accords well with what we know from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Prayer and humility was one thing that the Essenes . When they cooked up stories about Jesus they wrote that Jesus Christ ate the Last Supper in the Essene part of town. Jesus is not historical character, The Dead Sea Scrolls have produced increasing evidence to cement the fact that Jesus Christ never existed and the whole story was cooked up at the First Council of Nicea in 325 AD. The FAKE gospels were written after 325 AD after Jesus was cooked up at the first Council of Nicea.. Twelve apostles of Jesus never existed. Jesus Christ names 12 apostles to spread his gospel, and the early Christian church owes its rapid rise to their missionary zeal. Yet, for most of the Twelve, there's scant evidence of their existence outside of the New Testament. The concept of using statistics to prove that 'God authored the Bible' is bullshit. Why was the library of Alexandria burnt ? The gospel of Thomas was not written by Jesus' disciple Thomas. Englishman Godfrey Higgins studied Greek, Latin and law at Cambridge . His two-volume, 867-page book Anacalypsis: An Enquiry into the Origins of Languages, Nations, and Religions, was published posthumously in 1836. In his treatise, Higgins writes " the mythos of the Jews and the mythos of the Greeks are all at bottom the same lifted from the ancient mythos of Hindus ; and ... are contrivances under the appearance of histories to perpetuate doctrines," and that Christian editors “either from roguery or folly, corrupted them all.” 1900, Scottish MP John Mackinnon Robertson wrote that Jesus never existed but was an FAKE invention by a first-century messianic cult. He wrote about the First Council of Nicea of 325 AD where powerful forces invented a new god to fit the needs of the society of the time .Robertson specifically mentions the Talmudic story of the Yeshu . Thomas says: "Simon Peter said to them, ‘Make Mary leave us, for females don’t deserve life.’ Jesus said, ‘Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven’" (Thomas 114). AIYOOOOO -even Christians don’t like this When the master of James baby Jesus Christ never existed -- how can his disciple St James exist ? Even since the dead sea scrolls have been discovered CHRISTIANS and JEWS are jumping up and down like demented orangutans claiming that Essenes belong to them. Dead Sea text or Qumran Scrolls have absolutely nothing ZILCH, to do with the Bible of the Torah - never mind the diabolical lies of the Christians and the Jews. For arguments sake -even if messiah Jesus Christ existed , the gospels were written a even a century after Jesus' estimated year of death, by individuals who never met Jesus, and then were edited or forged over the centuries by unknown scribes with their own agendas. Dead sea scrolls have been written by Essenes of the sect of Apollonius ।।।
I have always loved the version that Judas felt he had to fulfill the prophecy, that he completed Jesus and sacrificed himself to damnation and that he was Jesus's favorite and greatest apostle. To be honest, the first time I ever heard this explanation for Judas betrayal, it was in Spawn Armageddon. I find the whole thing exceedingly interesting considering the other way was how I knew it for all my childhood and teenage. The idea that I had it wrong and that most do too and that Judas actually is the ultimate martyr to the point that even today its memoria damnatio with him. Then he continues to do what he did the day he took his 30 silver coins.
This is heresy. Judas had a wicked heart, and simply fulfilled the prophesy. He was not good in any way and God put it on his spirit to commit suicide after betraying Jesus.
@@toxicatedmemes3529 It could not be heresey. Christianity has been very fluid. Once upon a time good and evil weren't anything to them. Doesn't matter much to me.

The pagans in the 1 c.e. thought christians as such, I promise. Christianity use to be a lot more pagan. Catholic christianity (most popular) is arguably more pagan than protestant christianity because of their love of "symbolism" objects. technically christians arent suppose to have idols of things even representing things in heaven but jesus on the cross is everywhere! Also paintings should be no no as says the bible. jews are more true to form and dont worship idols. I was raised baptist a branch of prodestant and we didnt put jesus on the cross, but we still like the cross. my culture kills pigs during christmas, this too is pagan tradition that we will never wipe from us because roman empire is alive today. also the jews are the biggest loosers or smallest winners cuz out of all the religions their tiny one was the one to take over the world and how awkward jews are walking around when the christians and the muslims are trying to make one believe that the jews covenant has been broken and that their pact with the jews god is the one that matters now. So not only did the jews give the world their god, they got holocausts as a reward. How about we take a moment to recognize that irony.
Please excuse my ignorance as I am no expert or scholar, none the less if judas was so favoured and allowed to see what the others were not( to be held in the highest) could the quoted text originally have read " You will exceed all of them. For you will ( be the) sacrifice (for) the man who bears me."? It would surely explain his favour 🤔
Judas played his part to perfection. Jesus had instructed him to betray. Judas was the only disciple who possessed occult knowledge and could have carried out this role.
Archeologists: There is a Lacuna in the text, “Blessed are the Ch…” MAN #1: I think it was 'Blessed are the cheesemakers.' MRS. GREGORY: Ahh, what's so special about the cheesemakers? GREGORY: Well, obviously, this is not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
I’ve read this “gospel”. If you read the Apocryphon of John, Judas makes sense. I was raised Catholic but baptized Jehovah’s Witness as an adult. I don’t follow either now. I found this channel by Paul Wallis which gave me a different perspective on god and humans. Having all of that info leads me to believe Judas was NOT the evil person the Bible makes him out to be. I do now believe that Jesus did not represent the god in the old testament.
this all we need to know Jesus is real, doesn't matter if we were created by some being or whatever, our soul is eternal and Jesus comes from that and is that source, nobody gets to the father but through him.
No you are wrong. Jesus is not source and we don't need Jesus to get to God. Stop leaving such comments. We are awakening and getting closer to the truth. We don't need dark ages comments like this repeating lies
@@REPENTturn2Christ Through him doesn't mean that he's God, or Son of God, and his messages are always for the Children of Israel regardless of materially like Jews or Psychologically like Gentiles, not to the entire humanity that doesn't even ready for his teachings If you're even having ounce of literacy, you already seen how bloody, divisive and sectarian the history of "official" Christianity is, even Christianity and The Bible can't survive alteration or the birthing of Secularism and it's ideologies from it's shaky Christian-oriented civilisations Christianity has gone so wrong through distorting Jesus' messages (including burning existing texts other than the 4 "canonical" gospels, to the point of God having to sent Islam and conquers both East and West, even Rome falls under Islam's purification of Jesus' teachings
If people did research,you would know the story of jesus is a copied story from earlier civilizations. They only changed the names of each savior. None of these people characters are real. Why do you think people say amen. Thats the ancient God of egypt. You think they would have removed it from the bible because it exposes the real connection of religions. Its all a control method.
Great video, I found this video to be the best summation of its content. I'm personally in a strange place with religion. Being a gay man from Eastern KY, I've suffered a lot of religious trauma. For over a decade I considered myself between agnostic and a deist. Last year a medical accident occurred where I had to be resuscitated after 3 minutes with no heartbeat. I've been haunted by I remained conscious, and everything was void and dark. It was frightening. That event has led me to reexamine religion. I've recently found a Christian church in Louisville, KY that I'm very excited about. My husband and I also a church where we feel comfortable raising a child [we're in the process of adopting]. We believe in raising our child with open dialog about religion, not indoctrination. Being a researcher and philosopher by trade, I love learning about things like The Gospel of Judas. I never want to be part of a religion or church that limits what I can study or question. I believe that's a big part of spiritual growth. You need to know alternatives to make an informed decision about the type of faith you choose to follow.
There were good reasons to not include the gospel of Judas in the New Testament. As we learn more it just becomes more clear why they didn't even consider it.
Cool video, just found your channel thanks to yt algorithms. Thanks for your candid and well informed description of this hard to understand text, im intrigued by this book since I heard of its existence and want to learn more about it without biases most religious fanatics I know dismiss uncanonical books as fiction or even false teachings. Judas Iscariot is an integral part of Gospel writing and shows us God doesnt forget even the least of those who search for him and to me hes an allegory of a person seeking real truth in its rawest form, regardless if such information might be hard to bare, I also feel the fact his suicide is even mentioned in the bible should indicate that our creator understands human frailties and remembers with detail with a veiw to bring us out of despair although the road to life is very difficult to find. The saying Jesus said 'he that wants to be first in the kingdom of God will be last; he that is last will be first' is an irony but in context of how Judas is usually referenced as bad or a betrayer tells me hes probably one of Jesus best mates in heaven or where ever there life force resides right now, and not where people think. Judas example also teaches me not to take a bribe for any means, since betraying Gods son is probably the worst a person could think of doing, but knowing this also could all be part of Gods plan to rectify the wrongs people do to themselves or others keeps me from giving up on life and wanting to learn more about God. All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, I believe this includes old txts that arent used in the current bible narrative, wether by design or not the truth will prevail and videos like this help free minds, especially in the depths of despair many find themselves today. Kia ora and thanks from NZ (:
Its crazy because the satanic music industry is filled with ALOTTTT of Judas like people. They sell their souls and deny God just to have success but it aint worth it in the end.
When i read this gospel i was confused in so many ways, though there are alot of things you didn't explain in the gospel but the ones you did explain i understand, thank you
It makes a lot of sense to think of the god of the old testament as the demiurge, the stealer of soul, Saklas, god of evil. It makes an excellent contrast and frankly a more interesting religion. I really wish more people were aware of this
So like can we all finally agree that these books were written fully by people. The divine inspiration seems to be conditional on whether the church likes what they say or not lol
No. These non-canonical "gospels" are just bible fan fiction. The gospel of judas for example is believed to have been written in the 2nd century around 180 ad so obviously it has nothing to do with the gospels that actually are in the bible.
The more you understand the actual truth in Jesus' teachings, the more clear this becomes. Jesus is basically telling Judas all this stuff , because he knew Judas would forever be the evil enemy in this story. Undeservedly... you see Jesus didn't die, at least on the cross that day. Look into procedure when crusifying someone. It was a days long process, having to break the leg bones to prevent the person pushing up with their feet in order to get a breathe. You see, if you know how things really are and we're, you'd know Jesus didn't even need to die, just shed blood. Sin atonment is achieved when the sacrificial animal receives the sin by physical contact with the sinner. Then once the blood is shed, the sin is them forgiven. It's really easy to figure out the truth when you know how to look, or what to ask for. Like did you know Jesus believed in reincarnation, also God was in control of both evolution and creationism?... The truth is so much more interesting, which is why we don't hear the truth. Preachers are simply small business managers that have bills to pay too. It's more controlling if they believe it's the only shot we got, then you'll pay and pray out of guilt. I'd gladly mention some other truth that's been lost. You think the devil would let everyone instantly get the power to overthrow his forces so easily? Nope
And this isn't even the biggest shocker of the worlds assumption that they can understand stand Jesus, while looking through a self centered lense stuck within a contemporary time frame. Get your youngest kids to explain dial up modems used to connect to an online bulletin board system, one person at a time; or that we had to pay for so many hours of net access...
HERE is Our Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
The 'gospel of Judas' was just some 'pulp fiction' of the day. There was was probably tons of it around at the time. But in the real Gospel account, Judas betrayed Jesus. In today's language, a person that will coldly betray someone for personal gain would be classified as a 'psychopath'. The word 'psychopath' is the modern term for 'devil'. Before the term was invented, anyone with psychopathic tendencies would be called a 'devil'. As Jesus said in regard to Judas, "...and one of you is a devil". (John 6:70) The Devil/Satan is the original 'psychopath'.
Jesus calls judas a devil because he will betray him but that have nothing to do with being a psychopath, a lot of people betray other people but that will not make theme a psychopath. If judas whas a psychopath than he with never commit suicide for betraying Jesus because he with not regret it than and what do you even try to link it with psychopath even there where already psychopathic people in that time the didn't know what is a psychopath so there is no other therm for the word psychopath in that time
One thing I've noticed about the whole Christian perspective is that it's very imperial; Jesus isn't more of man & God, but more of a spiritual 'thing', almost like an anthropomorphic spiritual 'Master Key' to Heaven. I'm glad the Gospel of Judas introduces these nuances of Christ because it makes him very human.
To be fair, none of the gospels were written by their namesakes, nor were they written by first person eye witnesses. The new testament that we have today was a collection of, mostly 2nd century writings by Christians spreading the word of a religion that was still in its infancy and rapidly evolving. While it's not very historically reliable, the early canonical and non-canonical works offer tremendous insight into the culture and theology of fledgling Christianity. Neat stuff, I'll check out more of these videos
@@jonsjunkmailonly the 4 gospels authenticity... because no names in the gospels we can not discart them as unreliable...gnostic gospels have problems with authenticity...so we can say those writings from 2nd century are exact copies from original manuscripts ...experts agree...those 2nd century copies show 1st century style....and 2 of the gospels were eyewitness....
@@hectorhernandez215 what makes you so sure they ARE reliable? To deem it reliable is to assert that its claims are actually accurate, and to know if the claims are accurate I think we need more than some non contemporary, non eyewitness, decades after the fact.
There's actually a good reason he betrayed him..."hey judas, ya got that hundred bucks you owe me?" Judas: " um...yeah...uh, just let me run into town and uh....get that for you...."
I own a copy of the text. I find it very interesting in they it addresses that Judas was fullfling a prophecy. He was actually a hero of the real when he “betrayed” Jesus as believed by most. But Jesus asked him to do it. As the text says he shall be cursed by the others. And he has. He is seen as a traitor by the major religions. When he was actually the hero. As the truth is revealed etc
I’ve read this book I have to say I found it to be very confusing, I don’t buy in to the whole gnostic thing myself being a catholic, but I agree with what you said about Jesus true and more godly version of himself after I had died and resurrected, and subsequently when he ascends completely becoming a part of the heavenly trinity as opposed to being the part of the trinity on earth. I do understand about Judas not being 100% bad and evil like the canonical gospels make him out to be. This gospel makes it seem as if him and Jesus spoke of his higher purpose and he carries out Jesus’ ultimate goal. I dunno. God bless you all ✝️✝️✝️ Jesus walks with every single one of us xx
I discovered, doing the math that if you use 20 years as an average generational span, 13 cycles of 13 generations have passes since moses walked the earth and freed Israel from egypt. 13x13=169 generations x 20 years = 3380 years. Take the current year 2022 and subtract 3380 years and we come to 1358 BC. It is said that Moses walked the earth from 1391-1271 13x13 man. In the book of Matthew, when the lineage of Jesus is discussed, the cycle of 13 generations is also prevalent. There has been one cycle between now and the American Revolution and one cycle before that was the Renaissance and "discovery" of America.
I know the deep moments of depresión , I think I understand the heavy , heavy sadness of Judas,, that night was like no other night but Judas opens the sad crack to the magnificent door for all of us ,,, only Jesus will think what to do with him
my perception of this story is more about how Judas was deceived by Lucifer himself. there were several signs that this was not Jesus. Jesus had the ability to explain the impossible even to a child. That's how I interpreted it. but this was cool!!! hope for more videos like this!
You should cover Zoroastrianism, how the magi were zoroastrian priests. And how in their religion they have a prophecy where their savior would be born of a virgin.
There's a reason such versions of Christianity were kept out of the Bible, they would give people a mystical form of the religion and they would be harder to control. I have been reading out of the official Bible texts since I was a kid. I am atheist and I find this type of stuff very interesting.
I was under the impression that gnosticism predates Christ, and later took his teachings into their ideology. Gnostic comes from Gnosis(knowledge). Seekers of spiritual mysteries. I'm farely certain it predates Christianity.
Though I find it entertaining to learn about these others Gospels, it is fundamentally important to understand why books like this isn't accepted into the New Testament 1. The Gospel of Judas is a pseudopigraphy, book in other words it's applying arthurship to somebody that did not actually write it, we know judah's didnt write this for multiple reasons. For one Judas died shortly before Jesus died, so it would have been impossible for Judas to write this book so it's deeply concerning that this book tries to apply its authorship to somebody that could not have written it which leads to the second reason 2. Judas could not have written this book nor could any eyewitness have written this book because it was written late into the second century so there wasn't a single eyewitness alive during the time of Jesus. Jesus is believed to have died between 28 AD and 33 AD, the Gospel of Judas is believed to have been written close to 180 AD so whoever wrote this gospel not only never witnessed Jesus or the events of his life but they never knew anyone personally that knew Jesus because everyone that was alive during jesus's time died before the Gospel of Judas was written. The four gospels that we do have of Jesus were written in the first century, the same century that Jesus lived. But not only that, you'll also notice when reading the four gospels that they do not majorly contradict each other. The Gospel of Judas majorly contradicts the other four Canon Gospels Now you could argue that the four Canon gospels have minor contradictions but they've been addressed many times and even if there are minor contradictions, they are minor contradictions not major contradictions. It's not uncommon for someone to tell a true story and potentially make a minor mistake. It's one thing if there may be a little debate about who first came to the tomb of Jesus based on the four Gospels in the New Testament but when you have another gospel written nearly 200 years later that's telling us completely different teachings of Jesus and different aspects of his life that are easily and noticeably different then that should bring into question: which gospels are more reliable, the ones written in the first century by people who either knew Jesus or knew followers of Jesus or should I trust a source written nearly 200 years later by someone that could not have possibly gained any additional information about Jesus? So there are reasons why we reject certain gospels like Judas Thomas and Peter Peter for example because the gospel of Mark is technically Peter's gospel because Mark was Peter scribe and Mark was writing his gospel based off the information he got from Peter and the gospel of Peter tells us majorly different things compared to Peter's actual gospel in the gospel of Mark. Of course I realize that gospel is irrelevant to this video about Judas, but I did want to point out those important details to keep in mind.
Book of Judas and Darkmatter's take on Yaweh in Power Corrupts series pairs really well for people who need help wrapping their head around a relatively omnipotent being not necessarily being the most omnipotent being.
Great video, I really appreciate your work. I’ve read the Gospel of Judas & several publications about this lost book. I think that in section 14:14 of this video, the Gospel of Judas is describing the Christian Church established by the Romans in 325.
It is funny here Jesus shows his true self that he is Satan, the great deceiver and Judas was to reveal that. The worship of man a beast and his image. Baal worship where men offer their children and wives to be sacrificed and mate with men rather than women. Total description of christianity and the Roman catholic church.
If you look at Catholicism in the last two centuries, the dream was like a prophecy for it: First, Catholic priests sacrificing (molesting) young children, and second the "movement" in the past to bring gay men into priesthood (so that "they are prevented from committing *that* sin") that more or less had something to do with it. Edit: No sarcasm or cynicism whatsoever here. I am writing this as a catholic myself since birth.
@@3DVizzion I think that you are getting it the wrong way around. The Roman Catholic Church is not the Church of Christ but that of the enemy of Christ: Satan. Judas had an important role to play in God’s plan to save His creation from destruction, ”the fashioned (not created) world of the fallen angels”. My understanding is that Judas was an edomite while the other disciples of His were Hebrew, and that is why Jesus chose Judas as one of His disciples in the first place: Jesus knew from the beginning that Judas was going to betray Him. The edom-ites, (just as the amor-ites, canaan-ites, jebus-ites, moab-ites etc. and the el-ites of today) in general were worshippers of false gods and they made sacrafices to e.g. Baal and Moloch. Jesus (Yahshuah Ha’Maschiah) was a manifestation of God in the flesh and He came to Earth to show people a way out of this matrix. The way out of this matrix is by believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior and believing that He paid the ultimate price to get us free from the bondage to the fallen world. Jesus’s resurrection was for all humankind, but no one is forced to believe in Jesus/God. And of course the enemy wants (as he has always wanted) to reverse everything and make it all upside down, because Satan does not want anyone to leave the matrix. Jesus made it clear that God’s kingdom is not in this material world but that it is in the Spirit realm. That is why Jesus said to Judas that no mortal being will ever get there. But by being born again in/by the Holy Spirit one can. Maranatha, 🌹❤️✨🙏🏼✨❤️🌹
@@thankyoualmightygod8108 To be honest Jesus came to me in a dream and told me his name is Joshua or Yashua and further more asked me to walk with him to his house which I did. The dream goes on further. But to me I have my own revelation of the beginning and the end how it all began, why the fight, what is evil and good, where we are, who we are and when and how it will end. I dream a lot and the Creator reveals much to me. From my dreams I am revealed that I am the first conscious being and by re-ordering chaos from the Abyss. I created this world to my pleasure, to pleasure me. So only I am consciousness and I gave consciousness to the creatures I made so that they may give purpose to the creation. So all things created come from the Abyss, from chaos. Now I do not see myself as the Creator but that has been shown to me in my dreams. Why in the commandments of the Creator he says explicitly do not worship anything from the Heaven above, on the Earth and beneath the Earth because simply you cannot pick and chose what the Creator is as ALL things created is the Creator. Nothing in this creation is apart or disconnected from the Creator all is one with the Creator. And I abide by all commandments given by the Most High. The Vatican created Jesus or Rome and the same technics were used as all other gods of the patheon, same hierarchies and the trinity. Whatever teaches seperation is of Satan the spirit of chaos of destruction. There is no trinity as ALL is one! All is the Creator's will within the creation. The Creator is absolute consciousness and our souls, spirit and essence are all different facets of that absolute consciousness.
Thanks for the video! I really loved it. I think it's important to denote that Gnostic belief is centered not in dualisms (i.e. Was Judas bad or good?) but rather was concerned with transcending both concepts entirely. This type of focus is much more common to Buddhism and other sects of Eastern thought that encourage self-liberation over worship of deities (i.e. Is God outside of you or inside of you??). Interestingly, traditional Roman Catholics also still maintain that worship of false idols is indeed a sin.
@@chaserevstuning9271 "Form is Emptiness and Emptiness is Form" Apparently the talks about turning femaleness into Maleness in Gospel of Thomas parallels of how Mahayana Buddhism precepts of their Bodhisattva vows to follow the footsteps of Buddha Amitabha is to "renounce the state of being women" (look at 35th vow of monk Dharmakara before he become Amitabha)
Judas had seen Jesus' enemies come for him and had seen Jesus walk away unmolested. Perhaps he thought that since Jesus was the Son of God, he was untouchable. In other words, "EASY MONEY". Imagine his horror when Jesus was taken and killed.
There is so much about CHRIST we do Not know. I was in communication with the LORD and HE cracked a joke at my expense and HE laughed, as did I. Funny though, it still was a life learning experience. Another Time I was listing to a program on the radio, it was mentioned about no one being able to buy or sell unless they took the Mark, as I was pondering, the LORD said to me, But or Sell... Then HE had a GUT busting laugh. Then said to me, buy or sell? its ALL MINE. I will give you what you need for free. Months later, HE Revealed a scripture to me. To him who overcomes, I will give manna from heaven to eat. The time left in this dispensation of time is very short. REVELATION 9:I5
I'm gnostic. But in my belief it's not to betray my path to God. To know him is to love him. So the more I know about our pasts the more I'm allowed to understand now. Blessings to all
@Frank Lee no. It all began with me reading old texts and obscure non canonized books. But something a bit curious happened. There was Hebrew translations that in these books were very clear. So I began cross referencing with the Bible. It was then I discovered certain things in the Bible wasn't translated...even worse ir claimed to not know of the meaning or origin of most of the words. Some of these books were filled with spells and things. I don't recommend ever following any of those practices and have abstained from offending the Lord. But the heiracy is fascinating.
@Frank Lee A place to look at for more insight is the eastern philosophies such Taoism, Hinduism, and Zen Buddhism; Ive learned from Alan Watts. An example, the Taoist principle of wu wei is essentially the Christian 'fruits of the spirit'.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8 Gnostic is a false teaching and very dangerous it will twist scripture and make up and lie about so called "Gospels" the book of Judas is not the gospel
Good video. I've listened to an audio version online. I think it's the creepiest of all the Gnostic gospels and is perfect for reading on Halloween! It could be prefaced with: "A reading from the unholy gospel according to the heretics"! Creepy laughing Jesus, wow!
Dude, Jesus had the most exquisite sense of humor. The latter church authorities removed all the lightness and humour to put the people down, obedient, serving, paying, and depressed. Live your miserable lives, as Jesus bore the cross, they said, while getting a blow..ob under the table.
Judas is associated with Scorpio, whose deadly sting leaves two marks which resemble a kiss, hence Judas betraying Jesus with a kiss. The 30 pieces of silver relate to the 30 moon nights that occur at the end of Scorpio that lead up to December 21st (the Winter Solstice) when the sun rests in the constellation of the Southern Cross for three days before beginning its ascension. Let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years...
Scorpio ends in late November. It doesn't even touch December. And besides, we didn't have the months of July or August until Julius and Augustus Caesar added them. Soooooo, yeah. Food for thought
@@WolfMountford Indeed Scorpio does end in November and then 30 days, or nights, or pieces of silver should one prefer, one arrives at the Winter Solstice. Incidentally, the names of the constellations have nothing to do with the Caesars......sooooooo, yeah indeed!

“… the man who bears me”- it’s fascinating how this is what it says, seeing as a lot of people seem to say that Jesus wasn’t the one crucified, but that it was someone that bears his face. No way to definitively prove anything.
That is mentioned in Quran also, Jesus was never the one crucified, God replaced him with someone that bears his face. if only all these relgions come together to learn from each other instead of having the 1% making the 99% fight each other .

We don’t know who wrote this book, but it was obviously to defame Christ and his message. It’s no wonder Gnosticism was heavily persecuted. Not only is it totally out of line with the rest of the gospels, but it openly destroys the idea of Christ’s divinity and the mystery of the supernatural world, and ignores the underlying moral narrative of the entire Bible. It was likely written by hedonists that were high on psychedelics, which would explain a lot of the themes similar to Scientology.
Judas Judas: How much value is a good mans life worth? Judas Jesus: Its been priced in. Judas Judas:...Wh-what? Judas Jesus: All of it- And I mean all of it - has been priced in.
Back in April of 2006 after reading the book I questioned to myself whether Judas was good or bad and I decided that he did good when he turned in Jesus because he did God's will and Jesus knew that Judas was the only disciple that He could depend on to do God's will, even though Judas, IMO didn't want to do it.
@@SilentTraveller21 We don't have free will and only God knows what he wills. But the bible says that God declared the end from the beginning and that we can't do anything without him. God also states in the bible that he does his own pleasure and will. God also works through all of us (for the good of things) because his spirit is in all of us which gives us our living soul. Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world which shows that God's will was for Adam and Eve to sin. Philippians 2:13 King James Version 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Actually, the two "deaths" of Judas are the same, not different. Scripture tells us that "cursed is every one that is hung on a tree". We even use the phrase "Jesus was hung on a cross"! Jerusalem is a very, hilly area covered in trees. Judas, in his remorse, "threw himself down" (off a hill) purposely "hanging (suspending) his body on a tree" and in this violent process " he gets "disemboweled" and bleeds out. Hang, in Scripture, is not the western term, meaning hung with a noose, but suspended like "hanging a painting". Judas "hanged" himself by throwing himself off a cliff to curse himself by "hanging on a tree" and in the violence of the action his body is torn open.
I was about five years old and I remember hearing people on the subway declaring you've Always got to go threw hell to get a little Heaven , I always thought it was because our country was pulling out of the great depression !! But I can see this day Judas the agnostic is certainly right to brink of repeating !!
also i remember seeing a video back around 2009-2011 breaking down the mistranslation of "yahweh" or as depicted "YHWH" instead it is Y H V V H and it does not mean what these people believe it does... quite the opposite. i'm glad this text found the sun again but sadly, the rulers of this realm will decide how it will be implemented as with all things if i come off as anti-religion, i'm not, just not buying christianity due to inconsistencies and flat out hypocrisies as well as the obvious fact that it has been manipulated by a group of men for power, wealth, influence for more than centuries. not to mention it's nothing but a collection of world religions mashed together and claiming to be the one true one. if anything, all world religions worship the same entity and i'm not so sure they have it right. no matter the name or names they give it tragically, i do not believe good won the so called war of the heavens. it would explain why we are in this state of prison planet suffering, despair, and flooded with dread daily - but if we are to believe some of it say only 144,000 will be saved, that's not many out of 7-8 billion furthermore i find it funny that people think they are part of that 144k or can be become part of it when in reality (well their reality) it has already been chosen. no free will only the illusion of free will let's see what else... oh, right, some passage about the wheat and the tares. a tale of how archangel michael and the tree of life, how he goes down and picks a soul from the roots and sends it to earth however overpopulation and not enough tree of life soul seeds can exist equally so there are far more soulless flesh prisons roaming than there are those with souls. those who know, know we are not human. we are not NOT human either. you're either a soul or you're a vessel - my thoughts anyway do let me know bout that shirt though

Please be still and pray, listen. Be good to those around you!
In John Jesus is equated to the Truth, the Way, the Light and the Logos. Many Christians then believe that Christianity has a monopoly of truth. The other way to see this is what is the highest value: Truth, so that which is not true should be discarded. Logos at the time definitely meant instrumental reason (See Justin Martyr) but it also meant ethical “Truth”, it also meant artistic inspiration, and human virtue in general. The real Christian idea is worship the Truth, and a greater ethic of Love, and life giving virtue. Religious Dogma is not getting the message and getting stuck to a form, or ritual. This was already understood at the time as a type of idolatry. Humans are vulnerable to idolatry of all kinds. Stubbornly believing something idiotic is a type of idolatry. Christianity was one of many attempts humans made to transcend the idiocy of idolatry.
OH, YOU decided it was Evil ... really? So gaining or having knowledge is Evil to you? To make YOU happy, I hope you remain ignorant for all eternity! The Mass has ended, go in peace!
Thank you for the info , great work , I had a question , from where we get our knowledge of gnosticism ? Is it from Church Fathers as Ireneaus for example , or there are other non Christian sources ? Also another question , is it only the terms , aions , archon , saklas are the gnostic elements in this text ? I mean if these terms are not present can you still know its gnostic from its teachings ? Thank you buddy
Thank you for the most informative video, and credits to the restorers of the book. As a Muslim, I am amazed at the similarities between the Gospel of Judas and the Quran about Jesus (Isa) Wonderful work!
Thank you Fozia! It is fascinating to learn about the similarities between the Gospel of Judas and the Quran. I'm learning more about this as well! Peace to you!
@@cherp5837 "Obscurantism is from darkness and knowledge from light". Just a reminder dear Cher, the topic is about the similarities between Jesus pbuh in the Quran and the gospel of Judas, and not about Mohammed pbuh. Knowledge is key to understanding facts... Quran: Words of the Creator. The Quran was revealed by the angel Gabriel to Prophet Mohammed pbuh 1400 years ago. Here to answer your accusations. The scientific trends (in the Quran only) were discovered in the 20th century only. Where do you think Mohammed stole a lot of stories and made up stuff from? Did you know that all the bibles including the Quran have the same message from the Creator, the same Prophets and of course the same stories and stuff with different cultures. We are here to learn, discover and appreciate the differences with an open mind without being disrespectful to any religion, Prophet or anyone. It is so beautiful to love instead of hatred. Salam peace with love, Sister Fozia.
@@edward1412 unfortunately your opinion is based on hearsay about the Quran. You'll be nicely surprised and enlightened to discover the Quran corrected the previous bibles, and learn a lot more about Jesus that is not in the bible. We all believe in One God, same values, same Prophets, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohamed. They all said said; "there is One God, one message". Unlike the previous books, the scientific trends in the Quran are being discovered mostly in this century thanks to the modern technology. Please, read it with an open mind. We pray for love, unity and peace insha'Allah. Peace to you
The fact that this Jesus character tells Judas in secret about divinity and such things, but does not explain it to the common person through the word of God tells me that the Bible is not the word of God but the word of man. An amalgamation of stories over centuries fit together for social control.
I read the Gospel of Judas several years ago and came away with the feeling that Judas was the only disciple that truly understood Jesus. Furthermore, that is why Judas turned Jesus in to the Romans... Without the crucifixion of Jesus redemption wouldn't be possible. Judas had the difficult task of helping Jesus to complete his mission. This interpretation is also consistent with the canonical bible. I don't understand why Judas is made out to be the bad- guy; most Christians claim that Jesus' death was part of God's plan and Judas brought this to fruition... So Judas was doing nothing more than God's will. If Judas did commit suicide then this further indicates that Judas didn't want to do it but had to carry out his part of the plan. After all, Jesus knew what was going to happen (conversation at the last supper) and didn't do ANYTHING to stop his arrest/ crucifixion from happening.
I think it’s strange too . But I’m also concerned about the Scholars analysis. Do they include all scripture ? Including the ones that been taken out and stored away ? 🤔 I love my theological studies btw but the bible itself is only a small part of a bigger and vastly older story . Like with the bias of the historians we cover can be proven to manipulate the human experience & narrative to suit common law and dogma etc . I’m new to this subject so please forgive my lack of vocabulary & ability to sound like I have a clue what I’m talking about 😂 I’m the idiot in the room and welcome knowledge and fact based information 👍🏼🙏That content was presented beautifully btw 👍🏼💗🦋
take into heart that the prayers of these times are currently at an strong surge for the times of the book of Revelation. Just mentioning times are inlayed with many influences and this comment is just one of them. Take that into mind and read with the thirst for true knowledge. Try practicing to retain this knowledge by quoting the ACCEPTED Bible if you want to relate with others without displacing yourself. And your soul, mind and body shall become one. And so the way of the land breaks into many, with one law, one messiah. Isaiah 44:3 This is the new way for the gentiles to speak so beg your pardon its new to me as well. Good luck with your learning not just one side of the narrative but the full undisclosed word of Our Father remembering the way of righteousness as told from one generation to the next. I may pray that Judas himself forgets his position of power and remembers the old path to home, in the name of Justice for the multitudes. Love or Hate the creator tries us all in full. And remember the path to Repentance is the way for acceptance for salvation and only Christ Jesus may take you to the fullness of knowledge and acceptance before the Lord. May the Lord reign forever and ever. Amen.

The Gospel of Thomas is perhaps the most important non-canonical piece of (ancient) Scripture. As for the "Gospel of Judas," I can promise you this: Yeshua One with Christ ("Jesus Christ") was the most joyful man to ever walk the face of this Earth. He was nearly always smiling and laughing, and this was simply not mentioned in the canonical books, for whatever reason. He even smiled upon the cross; quite the opposite of Mel Gibson's portrayal. Because, He knows what this world does not, although He told the world quite clearly. But few have ears to hear.
I am a prophet of GOD; the prophesied return of the biblical prophet Elijah. I have come to re-state the "Good News" of Jesus Christ, which has been corrupted and misrepresented. Listen, when GOD says "good news," GOD means GOOD NEWS!

By the way, Gnosticism was indeed the original form of Christianity. Gnosis is knowledge gained on a personal basis. And one of the greatest errors was to create a group-consensus, formal type of religion. Thus sayeth the LORD: "Formal religion is a contradiction in terms." One must find Truth for oneself, else one is seeking something other than Truth. For this is POLITICS; not religion. And politics is not the road to Truth. Quite the opposite.
Also, Judas turned Jesus in for only one reason: to hasten the promised coming of the Kingdom of GOD. Like many people to this day, he didn't understand that "The Kingdom of GOD comes not with observation...the Kingdom of GOD is within you." Jesus came to remind we-who have-forgotten WHO WE ARE. Good news like you can't even imagine. No, Judas didn't understand. Like us, he didn't understand that a man's efforts to make his own will be done is the ORIGINAL ERROR ("sin") that caused our fall into this world of separation and limitation. And Judas committed suicide when GOD's will was done instead of his - not realizing that the crucifixion was indeed GOD's will, so that all the Earth would remember that the Perfect Man gladly accepted GOD's will as His own. "Shall I not drink from the cup the Father has given me?" And THIS is the long-sought Holy Grail; the fact that GOD's will IS done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.

My read of it is that Judas is preferred by Jesus because Judas is willing to serve his destiny despite the judgement he'd receive in history. To willingly serve one's role in God's play, doing what needs to be done to complete a greater destiny regardless of how others see it, could be seen as being more holy than blindly following worldly rules and conceptions. This is true martyrdom. This is why Jesus laughs at the other apostles who are praying over bread. They can only see what is right in the eyes of Man, but Jesus prefers Judas because he is willing to do what is right/necessary in the eyes of God. The crucifixion and resurrection had to happen. Judas was willing to follow God's plan despite the cost to himself, and thus he is preferred and closer to God.
Then why did he hang himself?
That's only one of the a speculations on his death. Maybe it's a lie who knows @@RockyRoad213
Extremely eerie that the text cuts off when such significant things are to be stated. Almost as if we are being laughed at and mocked for wanting to know
I agree. No way they accidentally messed it up by freezing it and are actively trying to put it back together. I'm really sick of the deception and lies.
I've been keeping up with this for about 15 years. Even before I had ever heard of the Gospel of Judas I was of the opinion that Judas and Jesus were doing certain things to fulfill Messianic prophecy from the habraic scriptures.
Could you recommend some videos on the messianic prophecy and habraic scriptures ?
how about i say to you to discard this trash here and see it as coming from Satan??, whose aim is to deceive and mislead many and misrepresent the Truth.

@@DirtBagTelevisionyea cuz he truly knows Jesus . It’s not Jesus dying that will save us it’s his teachings that will. And once we know our selve is when we will know The great spirit .
The Christianity we know imo
Is false because why would they burn this .
@@louistech112It’s not that the Christianity we know is completely “false” it’s that the Christianity we know became an empire religion which claimed a monopoly on truth which restricted personal revelation.
The first thing the new Roman Catholic Church did was commit a genocide against the Manichaeans who also worshiped Jesus, Buddha, Zarathustra, and Mani as great spiritual beings.
This monopolistic Christianity is the falsity, it is an idolatry.
Christianity and Buddhism are very similar, transcend the lower powers, sin in Christianity and ignorance in Buddhism.
There is great value in overcoming the lower powers, or at least gaining insight into it, and to forgive ourselves and others for our human condition.
The Gospel Of Judas is likely one of many early answers to the theological conundrum of free will. Since Jesus was sent knowingly for a sacrifice like unto the Lamb Of God, this became a form of theological heresy within Judaism(and continues to be so, as well as in Islamic theology). Since the concept of Jesus' sacrifice is key and central to Christian doctrine, it would make God look evil(as portrayed by gnostic thinkers), and Judas' betrayal being a paradox of evil which was a necessary good to fulfil the divine will of God. Thus one could conclude from the gnostic viewpoint that Judas was not a true traitor, that he was the necessary piece in this struggle of a world ruled by darkness.
this is a very interesting and insightful take. Kudos on the thougt
This is the Gospel that reignited my interest in Christianity and Christian history.

Thank you I accept this -Amen
Awesome video… I grew up baptist but as you begin to notice that every sermon is of the same topical verse and that the book is a collection other canonical works never discussed, you begin to venture on your own biblical learning. Mine has lead me to numerous canons covering various religions. When asked, I am more spiritual the religious, I see the Creator within not the biblical version taught. Since the existence of man, man has always associated an earthly experience with a divine. Thankfully we are in a time where one can explore various religious texts without being persecuted for it.
Note this is just my opinion and mine alone. I’ve read some ill stated comments on other channels which were totally uncalled for. We are not in a debate forum, we are here view and take away what has been presented 🙏🏽
hello my friend, may I ask, do you believe Jesus Christ came here to die for your sins? and that he is the only way to salvation?
Wow! These videos keep getting better! I didn't even realize it was 23 minutes long because I was so engaged in the topic! Good job!
Thank you very much! I appreciate it! The gospel of Judas is so fascinating!
I’ve never understood why Judas was so reviled by modern religious scholars. The entire purpose of Christ was to die for the world’s sins, so it was inevitable that someone would need to betray him. Jesus never cursed Judas, in fact he knew exactly what Judas was doing. And it’s the very text about Judas committing suicide over his remorse that has lead Christian’s to believe suicide is wrong and sinful. Interesting dichotomy about this character.
Great video man! I like the way you explained the history of the gospel then gave us an in-depth overview of what it actually says. I liked the editing too. I felt I could really imagine the story taking place. I wish you had the resources to turn these videos into full blown documentaries. That would be pretty awesome!
Thank you Religion Fanatic! I would love to do full blow documentaries someday! Until then I'll keep dreaming! 😊
I had learned that Judas was a “good guy” who had the “horrendous job” (at Jesus’ request) of turning Jesus over to the Authorities and Pontious Pilate to be crucified. The reason was because Judas was the only disciple intelligent enough to understand the information Jesus would tell him.
Correct sister, judas represents scorpio in the zodiac (12 disciples, 12 signs) a scorpions sting looks like the lip marks of a human kiss, it actually represents the sun (jesus) being kissed/stung by scorpio as he (the sun) passes through scorpio and descends into winter (hell in the old world) xx

The book is about you. It is symbol of the state of consciousness. Judas simply is. It is your judgement that makes him evil or not. He betrayed jesus. But you cannot betray God if you love God which he did love Him, he followed him. That did not come without risk. He was not there for the fun. The bible always asks the reader to look at oneself. You are the image of God. Meaning the living symbol like a word made flesh. So judge not. Judas was not carrying out his own will, the question is was he SELF AWARE. When carrying it out. Are YOU self aware when you read or do you simply keep it a symbol at an arms length.
HERE is The Savior

Bro he was self aware he took silver coins. On the spot no need for any questions and snitched him out, just like you do to your plug for example . Despite them taking care of you, you’ll do it for money and go buy a sack from another dealer. Trash. Also you’ll sit and judge others and blame your projection of yourself to them and won’t be able to be okay not doing so. You know yourself sucks too, and you don’t know why you don’t care if you do and still love yourself and ways. Funny shit… he was representing human in human nature. He had a crack that the devil was able to get through to him by, as the Bible states. Reality is anything can be different or changed no matter who you are and it takes one choice. Justify it being gods plan or blame the devil, even if you blame it for the apple in the garden bs… if your desperate. What I see is what it is and it’s humans that are being humans no I’m not excusing it doesn’t make it okay or acceptable but it is what it is. You can or can’t accept what it will be either way, he might not do it one time and another universe he does . In the heat of that moment Judas wanted some quarters nigga
Even when I was... way to young to be thinking about this sort of thing, I always contemplated "why is judas labeled as bad". I thought... he carried out God's divine will... what if Jesus walked up to you and said "hey, I need you to betray me and everyone is going to view you as super evil, cuz you are killing the messiah, but it's ok. It has to happen. Trust me". That would be so hard to do... like.. everything inside says it's a bad thing to do.. but Judas had to have extreme faith in order to carry the divine plan..
I have been having problems with trust lately... 😕
Problems w trust ya dont say.
I thought about that too was he really evil or was it part of God's plan because jesus had to die that was part of his mission to be the sacrifice for our sins
But don't forget right before he betrayed him it was written that satan entered Judas satan cannot enter someone without permission
So Judas really was of the devil and evil in my opinion
@@Greekhalo2010 this is true in Luke.. and Luke only.. the only other of the 4 gospels that suggest real betrayal is mathew.. by saying he went to see what he could get for turning Jesus over.. but it's "the gospel according to".. so this is what an imperfect, non omniscient man saw from his own point of view. All it takes is one conversation that judas and Jesus had in private to totally change perspective on the incident. If Jesus and judas had a conversation planning the crucifixion that Luke didn't know about, it may appear to him that "the devil entered judas"..
In the beginning was the word. And the word was God. And the word was with God... i think the most accurate way to look at this is to replace "the word" with "truth" . The "gospels" did not exist at this time.. ya know? But truth did.
So I really need to do more research and comparing... honestly never realized that it said "the devil entered judas".. in Luke... but... for the past 6 to 10 months my guts been associating Luke with Lucifer... idk why I've gotten that feeling... no real reason for it... but the feeling remains...
You are forgetting the fact that Jesus specifically pointed out at the Passover dinner that one of his disciples will betray him.
It's not betrayal if you were specifically obeying Jesus specific commandment
Judas even killed himself out of guilt for doing what he did and he went back to the people he saw Jesus to and try to give the money back
Jesus also even said it would have been better if Judas had not been born. Why would Jesus say that if he specifically asked Judah to betray him?
It's also important to remember the fact that the Old Testament told a prophecy about the Messiah being sold for 30 shekels of silver.
Stop your nonsense bruh. If he knew the plan, he wouldn't commit suicide.
Jesus is so friggin cool. holy smokes. i wanna meet Jesus and hug him and laugh with him

@@jerrieferguson7763 I read the Bible. See my homepage/about for links to my own study material.
I know God, I walk in covenant with God and I Love God. I fear God as well and that is the beginning of Love because until you fear disobeying God and causing God to look upon you in shame so you feel horrible then you can not love Him. I started this walk when I was 32, to look for God. I started to actually begin to find God when I was 39 and sealed myself to God as the gospel tells us to, those of us who listen to the gospel teacher and not the ones who came after him, know to take up the commandments of God and to seek out our roots back to Abraham and to Moses and Yehoshua and the prophets so we become firm in knowledge of what GOD ALONE asked of us. It took me several years of fighting sin and the devil by obeying God. I fought the sin out of me with God's help, by his instructions in the written word. It is a very narrow road and as the mattan/Matthew gospel says very few will find it. We have to fight Satan and the whole world that serves him in sin in order to get out and the one who will help is God alone because we can't trust anyone else. I am with God, God provides for myself and my family and yes there is absolutely evidence BUT not until you absolutely come clean, in thought, word and deed, the absolute opposite of all the lying religions. The gospel was sent down to free us from sin by sending us to our teacher and if you reject it then you are freed from God into sin perpetually and to death spiritually from God which as I can now see is absolutely hell on earth, your light you pretend to have is absolutely darkness caused by your unwillingness to even try to obey God. I speak to 99% of the population. If you can't put everyone first after God and stop yourself from all sin THEN YOUR NOT WORTHY AND YOU ARE ALREADY FINISHED BEFORE YOU EVEN STARTED.
So come out of all sun, take up the commandments and begin your battle, call to GOD ALONE, LEARN YOUR ROOTS, BE GOD'S PEOPLE. FIGHT SATAN WHO IS THE SINNERS INNER VOICE, THE CONSCIENCE THAT LEADS YOU TO HURT YOU, that's not you, it's Satan the deceiver. If you come to God and pass the trials cleansing yourself by obedience then GOD WILL BECOME YOUR CONSCIENCE AND YOU WILL LOVE GOD AND HATE SIN, SATAN WILL FLEE FROM YOU.
SO there it is
Peace, the ball in in your court
Be wary of this world, it is the valley of death, you need God's light and God doesn't dwell with sin or sinners. Not until they begin the journey to stop sin.

I've been working through the gnostic gospels and haven't made it to the account of Judas yet. I really appreciate your overview!
It isn't a account of Judas. It was clearly written in the style of gnoticism. Therefore it's a fraud. Somebody who was a gnostic wrote it
@@chilogutierrez8760 Gnostic texts are only gnostic from the perspective of the few leaders of the orthodox church who decided it so. They wanted a more inclusive and appealing view of Christianity so they could convert the masses. There isnt and there will never be an objective way to decide which of the many gospels should be integrated in the bible. This is why the bible is nothing else but the result of a proto-birocracy in which every text was calculated and choosen based on the church fathers desired outcome.
This was the first gnostic book I have listened to.. and it intrigued me.. answering some questions.. And so My quest continues...
I upload gnostic scriptures and also other scriptures removed from the bible that are older then the bible I also discuss the meanings of the gnostic scriptures and I also discuss suppressed history and spiritual subjects one love and many blessings

I think the pivot for me was when Judas was initiator of the sacrifice of Jesus. Yes, Jesus was the sacrificial lamb, but for Judas to imply that he was the one that saved Jesus is also implying that he is the savior.
If we are reasoning correctly, God the Father, the 1st part of the Trinity, is still the the one who ALLOWS the sacrificing of His Son, even if it was from the hands from Ciaiphas/Judas/the public ,who thought him as a blasphemer. The reason is because God the Father allowed these people to be...ipsum esse subsitens, and practice their free will, remember. This doesn't mean they are right.
What also fascinates me is that is almost like the story of Abram and Isaac prefigure this narrative Judas is saying. In my eyes, the story if Isaac and Abram is to show that no man will need to sacrifice their own son to gain favor with God. God intervening at the end was a way to say "yo Abram, you aren't God, of course I won't make you do this. This is a job for me."
Judas is the man who goes through with the sacrifice. If he was Abram, Isaac would be dead due to the hubristic idea he had of his role in the creation of salvation. no...just no.
Agree 💯
I love these gnostic stories, but you really only understand them when you're initiated in the mysteries and take the moral from that perspective. The origins and roots are grounded in sick truth and what we have now is so distorted it has little meaning.
I saw the Nat Geo special and read the Judas Gospel. To your point, it’s very confusing due to the fact there are gaps in the text (kudos to the scholars who pieced this together). The Gnostic Gospels were discarded because they did not follow Church canon. Many were destroyed, so to be able to read this was amazing. I truly believe God has a purpose for each of us…was Judas the one who was closest to Jesus because he knew he would have to betray him in the end to complete God’s plan? Just a thought.
If that’s the case then god is neutral or evil. And allows sadistic evils, which means he’s not perfect and good. Either he’s imperfect, doesn’t know everything and is still good and pure. Or he knows everything, and still allows evil and suffering and is at the very least a neutral force, or he’s still good but he cannot interrupt the flow of time which means he knows everything but he’s not all powerful.
@@homosexualitymydearwatson4109 It's the second one. But he's not a neutral force. The thing is. Everything has it's negative and as Jesus told Judas in this video. "Don't worry about it." Just like how Jesus was freed from the sinful mortal shell when he died. So to will we when we die. So it's not about what God is doing in THIS life but rather the next. If God didn't "allow" evil then we'd automatically go to Heaven with no choice. He gives us a choice, free will, ability to do and decide as we please. That is THIS life. So in reality evil stems from Sin. Our inherent nature. But we have to choose to believe in God. Aka Faith. I feel like Life is a test to see if we will go against the grain and believe in God and if we do? We go to Heaven. But this is me trying to comprehend an infinite primordial being whose knowledge, desires, and actions cannot be comprehended by us.

We often hear of a gang of thieves plotting to rob and murder a man, and laying a plan to entice him out that they may execute their design,
and we always feel shocked at the wickedness of such wretches; but what must we think of a book that describes the Almighty acting in the same manner, and laying plans in heaven to entrap and ruin mankind?
Our ideas of His justice and goodness forbid us to believe such stories, and therefore we say that a lying spirit has been in the mouth of the writers of the books of the Bible.

The dead sea scrolls covering the period from Birth of Jesus to 68 AD , does NOT say one word about Jesus or his 12 Apostles.
Hellenistic philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria (20 BCE-50 AD/CE)-alive at the purported time of Jesus, and one of the wealthiest and best connected citizens of the Empire- makes no mention of Christ, Christians or Christianity in his voluminous writings. Nor do any of the hundreds of other historians and writers who flourished during the first THREE centuries of the common era.
The DEAD SEA SCROLLS were all written by Pagan Essenes . None of them have been edited by later Christians, as is the case with some other Jewish literature.
All the scrolls (except a treasure map known as the Copper Scroll) can be dated prior to A.D. 68 or 69, when the Qumran settlement was believed to have been destroyed by the Romans in the Jewish revolt.
The oldest of the scrolls probably goes back to the middle of the third century B.C. The people of Qumran belonged to a Pagan religious group known as the Essenes.
Pliny the Elder, who died during the volcanic destruction of Pompeii in the year 79 A.D., described a community of pagan Essenes living on the western shore of the Dead Sea, close to where Khirbet Qumran is situated.
John the Baptist was an ascetic Essene . He was a vegan and was uncircumcised . Various literary sources like Josephus and Philo tell clearly that Essenes were ascetics.
We also know, from literary testimony, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the archaeological remains of Qumran, that the Essenes practiced many water baptisms for ritual purification-similar to a dip in the Ganges or the river Pampa or at Thiirunelli. At Qumran, however, all members of the community were baptized with water for ritual purification.
Josephus writes, "And as for their piety towards God, it is very extraordinary; for before sunrising they speak not a word about profane matters, but put up certain prayers which they have received from their forefathers, as if they made a supplication for its rising" (Wars, 2.8.5). This testimony accords well with what we know from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Prayer and humility was one thing that the Essenes . When they cooked up stories about Jesus they wrote that Jesus Christ ate the Last Supper in the Essene part of town.
Jesus is not historical character, The Dead Sea Scrolls have produced increasing evidence to cement the fact that Jesus Christ never existed and the whole story was cooked up at the First Council of Nicea in 325 AD.
The FAKE gospels were written after 325 AD after Jesus was cooked up at the first Council of Nicea..
Twelve apostles of Jesus never existed.
Jesus Christ names 12 apostles to spread his gospel, and the early Christian church owes its rapid rise to their missionary zeal. Yet, for most of the Twelve, there's scant evidence of their existence outside of the New Testament.
The concept of using statistics to prove that 'God authored the Bible' is bullshit.
Why was the library of Alexandria burnt ?
The gospel of Thomas was not written by Jesus' disciple Thomas.
Englishman Godfrey Higgins studied Greek, Latin and law at Cambridge . His two-volume, 867-page book Anacalypsis: An Enquiry into the Origins of Languages, Nations, and Religions, was published posthumously in 1836.
In his treatise, Higgins writes " the mythos of the Jews and the mythos of the Greeks are all at bottom the same lifted from the ancient mythos of Hindus ; and ... are contrivances under the appearance of histories to perpetuate doctrines," and that Christian editors “either from roguery or folly, corrupted them all.”
1900, Scottish MP John Mackinnon Robertson wrote that Jesus never existed but was an FAKE invention by a first-century messianic cult. He wrote about the First Council of Nicea of 325 AD where powerful forces invented a new god to fit the needs of the society of the time .Robertson specifically mentions the Talmudic story of the Yeshu .
Thomas says: "Simon Peter said to them, ‘Make Mary leave us, for females don’t deserve life.’ Jesus said, ‘Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven’" (Thomas 114).
AIYOOOOO -even Christians don’t like this
When the master of James baby Jesus Christ never existed -- how can his disciple St James exist ?
Even since the dead sea scrolls have been discovered CHRISTIANS and JEWS are jumping up and down like demented orangutans claiming that Essenes belong to them.
Dead Sea text or Qumran Scrolls have absolutely nothing ZILCH, to do with the Bible of the Torah - never mind the diabolical lies of the Christians and the Jews.
For arguments sake -even if messiah Jesus Christ existed , the gospels were written a even a century after Jesus' estimated year of death, by individuals who never met Jesus, and then were edited or forged over the centuries by unknown scribes with their own agendas.
Dead sea scrolls have been written by Essenes of the sect of Apollonius

It’s jus accumulated information … You’re trying to be profound but it’s just corny
I have always loved the version that Judas felt he had to fulfill the prophecy, that he completed Jesus and sacrificed himself to damnation and that he was Jesus's favorite and greatest apostle. To be honest, the first time I ever heard this explanation for Judas betrayal, it was in Spawn Armageddon. I find the whole thing exceedingly interesting considering the other way was how I knew it for all my childhood and teenage. The idea that I had it wrong and that most do too and that Judas actually is the ultimate martyr to the point that even today its memoria damnatio with him. Then he continues to do what he did the day he took his 30 silver coins.
This is heresy. Judas had a wicked heart, and simply fulfilled the prophesy. He was not good in any way and God put it on his spirit to commit suicide after betraying Jesus.
@@toxicatedmemes3529 It could not be heresey. Christianity has been very fluid. Once upon a time good and evil weren't anything to them. Doesn't matter much to me. In an alternate world; since cannibalisms isn't a sin, and Christians 'literally' eat the flesh and blood of the Christ. I speculate there was a branch of Cannibal Catholicism who aren't bad people, they'd just invite you to eat their murderers.
So you got to that conclusion because... You feel like it?

The pagans in the 1 c.e. thought christians as such, I promise.
Christianity use to be a lot more pagan. Catholic christianity (most popular) is arguably more pagan than protestant christianity because of their love of "symbolism" objects. technically christians arent suppose to have idols of things even representing things in heaven but jesus on the cross is everywhere! Also paintings should be no no as says the bible. jews are more true to form and dont worship idols. I was raised baptist a branch of prodestant and we didnt put jesus on the cross, but we still like the cross. my culture kills pigs during christmas, this too is pagan tradition that we will never wipe from us because roman empire is alive today.
also the jews are the biggest loosers or smallest winners cuz out of all the religions their tiny one was the one to take over the world and how awkward jews are walking around when the christians and the muslims are trying to make one believe that the jews covenant has been broken and that their pact with the jews god is the one that matters now. So not only did the jews give the world their god, they got holocausts as a reward. How about we take a moment to recognize that irony.
Please excuse my ignorance as I am no expert or scholar, none the less if judas was so favoured and allowed to see what the others were not( to be held in the highest) could the quoted text originally have read " You will exceed all of them. For you will ( be the) sacrifice (for) the man who bears me."? It would surely explain his favour 🤔
Judas played his part to perfection. Jesus had instructed him to betray.
Judas was the only disciple who possessed occult knowledge and could have carried out this role.
Occult knowledge zz really ? Lol this shit is funny

I’ve read this “gospel”. If you read the Apocryphon of John, Judas makes sense. I was raised Catholic but baptized Jehovah’s Witness as an adult. I don’t follow either now. I found this channel by Paul Wallis which gave me a different perspective on god and humans. Having all of that info leads me to believe Judas was NOT the evil person the Bible makes him out to be. I do now believe that Jesus did not represent the god in the old testament.

this all we need to know Jesus is real, doesn't matter if we were created by some being or whatever, our soul is eternal and Jesus comes from that and is that source, nobody gets to the father but through him.

If people did research,you would know the story of jesus is a copied story from earlier civilizations. They only changed the names of each savior. None of these people characters are real. Why do you think people say amen. Thats the ancient God of egypt. You think they would have removed it from the bible because it exposes the real connection of religions. Its all a control method.
Great video, I found this video to be the best summation of its content. I'm personally in a strange place with religion. Being a gay man from Eastern KY, I've suffered a lot of religious trauma. For over a decade I considered myself between agnostic and a deist. Last year a medical accident occurred where I had to be resuscitated after 3 minutes with no heartbeat. I've been haunted by I remained conscious, and everything was void and dark. It was frightening. That event has led me to reexamine religion. I've recently found a Christian church in Louisville, KY that I'm very excited about. My husband and I also a church where we feel comfortable raising a child [we're in the process of adopting]. We believe in raising our child with open dialog about religion, not indoctrination. Being a researcher and philosopher by trade, I love learning about things like The Gospel of Judas. I never want to be part of a religion or church that limits what I can study or question. I believe that's a big part of spiritual growth. You need to know alternatives to make an informed decision about the type of faith you choose to follow.
Praying you overcome your sin. Happy to hear your living in a better state. I pray Jesus remembers you. Amen
Apocrypha books were false claims and made up stories. That's the reason they were not part of the bible.
Hey Zach, thank you for sharing your experience. May you and your husband be blessed with an abundance of new love with your future son or daughter.
There's no sin in love.
There were good reasons to not include the gospel of Judas in the New Testament.
As we learn more it just becomes more clear why they didn't even consider it.
Yeah, because it didn't the BS narrative that the church promulgates LOL!
Really? Why?
@@mrswilbert the gospel of Judas is a Gnostic writing. the enemy of scripture. it also dates to about 200 AD. too ate for the canon
I hate to break it to you, the Gospel of Judas used to be in the Bible before the 1900's.
Cool video, just found your channel thanks to yt algorithms. Thanks for your candid and well informed description of this hard to understand text, im intrigued by this book since I heard of its existence and want to learn more about it without biases most religious fanatics I know dismiss uncanonical books as fiction or even false teachings. Judas Iscariot is an integral part of Gospel writing and shows us God doesnt forget even the least of those who search for him and to me hes an allegory of a person seeking real truth in its rawest form, regardless if such information might be hard to bare, I also feel the fact his suicide is even mentioned in the bible should indicate that our creator understands human frailties and remembers with detail with a veiw to bring us out of despair although the road to life is very difficult to find. The saying Jesus said 'he that wants to be first in the kingdom of God will be last; he that is last will be first' is an irony but in context of how Judas is usually referenced as bad or a betrayer tells me hes probably one of Jesus best mates in heaven or where ever there life force resides right now, and not where people think. Judas example also teaches me not to take a bribe for any means, since betraying Gods son is probably the worst a person could think of doing, but knowing this also could all be part of Gods plan to rectify the wrongs people do to themselves or others keeps me from giving up on life and wanting to learn more about God. All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, I believe this includes old txts that arent used in the current bible narrative, wether by design or not the truth will prevail and videos like this help free minds, especially in the depths of despair many find themselves today. Kia ora and thanks from NZ (:
Its crazy because the satanic music industry is filled with ALOTTTT of Judas like people. They sell their souls and deny God just to have success but it aint worth it in the end.
When i read this gospel i was confused in so many ways, though there are alot of things you didn't explain in the gospel but the ones you did explain i understand, thank you
It makes a lot of sense to think of the god of the old testament as the demiurge, the stealer of soul, Saklas, god of evil. It makes an excellent contrast and frankly a more interesting religion. I really wish more people were aware of this
So like can we all finally agree that these books were written fully by people. The divine inspiration seems to be conditional on whether the church likes what they say or not lol
No. These non-canonical "gospels" are just bible fan fiction. The gospel of judas for example is believed to have been written in the 2nd century around 180 ad so obviously it has nothing to do with the gospels that actually are in the bible.
The more you understand the actual truth in Jesus' teachings, the more clear this becomes. Jesus is basically telling Judas all this stuff , because he knew Judas would forever be the evil enemy in this story. Undeservedly... you see Jesus didn't die, at least on the cross that day. Look into procedure when crusifying someone. It was a days long process, having to break the leg bones to prevent the person pushing up with their feet in order to get a breathe. You see, if you know how things really are and we're, you'd know Jesus didn't even need to die, just shed blood. Sin atonment is achieved when the sacrificial animal receives the sin by physical contact with the sinner. Then once the blood is shed, the sin is them forgiven. It's really easy to figure out the truth when you know how to look, or what to ask for. Like did you know Jesus believed in reincarnation, also God was in control of both evolution and creationism?... The truth is so much more interesting, which is why we don't hear the truth. Preachers are simply small business managers that have bills to pay too. It's more controlling if they believe it's the only shot we got, then you'll pay and pray out of guilt. I'd gladly mention some other truth that's been lost. You think the devil would let everyone instantly get the power to overthrow his forces so easily? Nope
And this isn't even the biggest shocker of the worlds assumption that they can understand stand Jesus, while looking through a self centered lense stuck within a contemporary time frame. Get your youngest kids to explain dial up modems used to connect to an online bulletin board system, one person at a time; or that we had to pay for so many hours of net access...
don’t be deceived. don’t have itching ears. the gospel is plain to read and understand. it is widespread and available to all.

The 'gospel of Judas' was just some 'pulp fiction' of the day. There was was probably tons of it around at the time. But in the real Gospel account, Judas betrayed Jesus. In today's language, a person that will coldly betray someone for personal gain would be classified as a 'psychopath'. The word 'psychopath' is the modern term for 'devil'. Before the term was invented, anyone with psychopathic tendencies would be called a 'devil'.
As Jesus said in regard to Judas, "...and one of you is a devil". (John 6:70)
The Devil/Satan is the original 'psychopath'.
Lol devil ?
I agree 👍
Your definition of psychopath is funny and not true
@@cherp5837 So what is your definition of a psychopath; and what term was in use before the modern term 'psychopath' was invented?
Jesus calls judas a devil because he will betray him but that have nothing to do with being a psychopath, a lot of people betray other people but that will not make theme a psychopath. If judas whas a psychopath than he with never commit suicide for betraying Jesus because he with not regret it than and what do you even try to link it with psychopath even there where already psychopathic people in that time the didn't know what is a psychopath so there is no other therm for the word psychopath in that time
One thing I've noticed about the whole Christian perspective is that it's very imperial; Jesus isn't more of man & God, but more of a spiritual 'thing', almost like an anthropomorphic spiritual 'Master Key' to Heaven. I'm glad the Gospel of Judas introduces these nuances of Christ because it makes him very human.
If he didn’t sell him out how would everybody else been saved. He is the hero
To be fair, none of the gospels were written by their namesakes, nor were they written by first person eye witnesses. The new testament that we have today was a collection of, mostly 2nd century writings by Christians spreading the word of a religion that was still in its infancy and rapidly evolving. While it's not very historically reliable, the early canonical and non-canonical works offer tremendous insight into the culture and theology of fledgling Christianity.

There's actually a good reason he betrayed him..."hey judas, ya got that hundred bucks you owe me?" Judas: " um...yeah...uh, just let me run into town and uh....get that for you...."
I own a copy of the text. I find it very interesting in they it addresses that Judas was fullfling a prophecy. He was actually a hero of the real when he “betrayed” Jesus as believed by most. But Jesus asked him to do it.
As the text says he shall be cursed by the others. And he has. He is seen as a traitor by the major religions. When he was actually the hero.
As the truth is revealed etc
Judas always had a different perspective than those around him, and not always for the better.
Better or worse, as long as it's accurate or at least truthful.
I’ve read this book I have to say I found it to be very confusing, I don’t buy in to the whole gnostic thing myself being a catholic, but I agree with what you said about Jesus true and more godly version of himself after I had died and resurrected, and subsequently when he ascends completely becoming a part of the heavenly trinity as opposed to being the part of the trinity on earth. I do understand about Judas not being 100% bad and evil like the canonical gospels make him out to be. This gospel makes it seem as if him and Jesus spoke of his higher purpose and he carries out Jesus’ ultimate goal.
I dunno.
God bless you all ✝️✝️✝️
Jesus walks with every single one of us xx
Psalms 37:13
The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
I discovered, doing the math that if you use 20 years as an average generational span, 13 cycles of 13 generations have passes since moses walked the earth and freed Israel from egypt. 13x13=169 generations x 20 years = 3380 years. Take the current year 2022 and subtract 3380 years and we come to 1358 BC.
It is said that Moses walked the earth from 1391-1271
13x13 man.
In the book of Matthew, when the lineage of Jesus is discussed, the cycle of 13 generations is also prevalent.
There has been one cycle between now and the American Revolution and one cycle before that was the Renaissance and "discovery" of America.
I know the deep moments of depresión , I think I understand the heavy , heavy sadness of Judas,, that night was like no other night but Judas opens the sad crack to the magnificent door for all of us ,,, only Jesus will think what to do with him
my perception of this story is more about how Judas was deceived by Lucifer himself. there were several signs that this was not Jesus. Jesus had the ability to explain the impossible even to a child.
That's how I interpreted it.
but this was cool!!! hope for more videos like this!
You should cover Zoroastrianism, how the magi were zoroastrian priests. And how in their religion they have a prophecy where their savior would be born of a virgin.

The gospel of Judas looks like if you tried to rewrite the bible in AI dungeon
That's what the bible itself looks like. Have you read the thing?
There's a reason such versions of Christianity were kept out of the Bible, they would give people a mystical form of the religion and they would be harder to control. I have been reading out of the official Bible texts since I was a kid. I am atheist and I find this type of stuff very interesting.
I was under the impression that gnosticism predates Christ, and later took his teachings into their ideology. Gnostic comes from Gnosis(knowledge). Seekers of spiritual mysteries. I'm farely certain it predates Christianity.
Just another word for occultism.
@@dolucks1 occult means hidden. So if Christianity had to hide because it was illegal. It would be part of the blanket term, occult.
🙏Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom ❤ listening from Ireland 🇮🇪
Though I find it entertaining to learn about these others Gospels, it is fundamentally important to understand why books like this isn't accepted into the New Testament
1. The Gospel of Judas is a pseudopigraphy, book in other words it's applying arthurship to somebody that did not actually write it, we know judah's didnt write this for multiple reasons. For one Judas died shortly before Jesus died, so it would have been impossible for Judas to write this book so it's deeply concerning that this book tries to apply its authorship to somebody that could not have written it which leads to the second reason
2. Judas could not have written this book nor could any eyewitness have written this book because it was written late into the second century so there wasn't a single eyewitness alive during the time of Jesus. Jesus is believed to have died between 28 AD and 33 AD, the Gospel of Judas is believed to have been written close to 180 AD so whoever wrote this gospel not only never witnessed Jesus or the events of his life but they never knew anyone personally that knew Jesus because everyone that was alive during jesus's time died before the Gospel of Judas was written.
The four gospels that we do have of Jesus were written in the first century, the same century that Jesus lived. But not only that, you'll also notice when reading the four gospels that they do not majorly contradict each other.
The Gospel of Judas majorly contradicts the other four Canon Gospels
Now you could argue that the four Canon gospels have minor contradictions but they've been addressed many times and even if there are minor contradictions, they are minor contradictions not major contradictions. It's not uncommon for someone to tell a true story and potentially make a minor mistake.
It's one thing if there may be a little debate about who first came to the tomb of Jesus based on the four Gospels in the New Testament but when you have another gospel written nearly 200 years later that's telling us completely different teachings of Jesus and different aspects of his life that are easily and noticeably different then that should bring into question: which gospels are more reliable, the ones written in the first century by people who either knew Jesus or knew followers of Jesus or should I trust a source written nearly 200 years later by someone that could not have possibly gained any additional information about Jesus?
So there are reasons why we reject certain gospels like Judas Thomas and Peter
Peter for example because the gospel of Mark is technically Peter's gospel because Mark was Peter scribe and Mark was writing his gospel based off the information he got from Peter and the gospel of Peter tells us majorly different things compared to Peter's actual gospel in the gospel of Mark.
Of course I realize that gospel is irrelevant to this video about Judas, but I did want to point out those important details to keep in mind.
Book of Judas and Darkmatter's take on Yaweh in Power Corrupts series pairs really well for people who need help wrapping their head around a relatively omnipotent being not necessarily being the most omnipotent being.
Better to study Daniel 7:25
Ezekiel 20:19-20
Mark 2:27-28
Hebrews 4:9-11
Great video, I really appreciate your work.
I’ve read the Gospel of Judas & several publications about this lost book.
I think that in section 14:14 of this video, the Gospel of Judas is describing the Christian Church established by the Romans in 325.
It is funny here Jesus shows his true self that he is Satan, the great deceiver and Judas was to reveal that.
The worship of man a beast and his image. Baal worship where men offer their children and wives to be sacrificed and mate with men rather than women. Total description of christianity and the Roman catholic church.
If you look at Catholicism in the last two centuries, the dream was like a prophecy for it: First, Catholic priests sacrificing (molesting) young children, and second the "movement" in the past to bring gay men into priesthood (so that "they are prevented from committing *that* sin") that more or less had something to do with it.
Edit: No sarcasm or cynicism whatsoever here. I am writing this as a catholic myself since birth.

The Roman Catholic Church is not the Church of Christ but that of the enemy of Christ: Satan. Judas had an important role to play in God’s plan to save His creation from destruction, ”the fashioned (not created) world of the fallen angels”.
My understanding is that Judas was an edomite while the other disciples of His were Hebrew, and that is why Jesus chose Judas as one of His disciples in the first place: Jesus knew from the beginning that Judas was going to betray Him. The edom-ites, (just as the amor-ites, canaan-ites, jebus-ites, moab-ites etc. and the el-ites of today) in general were worshippers of false gods and they made sacrafices to e.g. Baal and Moloch.
Jesus (Yahshuah Ha’Maschiah) was a manifestation of God in the flesh and He came to Earth to show people a way out of this matrix. The way out of this matrix is by believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior and believing that He paid the ultimate price to get us free from the bondage to the fallen world. Jesus’s resurrection was for all humankind, but no one is forced to believe in Jesus/God. And of course the enemy wants (as he has always wanted) to reverse everything and make it all upside down, because Satan does not want anyone to leave the matrix.
Jesus made it clear that God’s kingdom is not in this material world but that it is in the Spirit realm. That is why Jesus said to Judas that no mortal being will ever get there. But by being born again in/by the Holy Spirit one can. Maranatha, 🌹❤️✨🙏🏼✨❤️🌹
@@thankyoualmightygod8108 To be honest Jesus came to me in a dream and told me his name is Joshua or Yashua and further more asked me to walk with him to his house which I did. The dream goes on further.
But to me I have my own revelation of the beginning and the end how it all began, why the fight, what is evil and good, where we are, who we are and when and how it will end. I dream a lot and the Creator reveals much to me.
From my dreams I am revealed that I am the first conscious being and by re-ordering chaos from the Abyss. I created this world to my pleasure, to pleasure me. So only I am consciousness and I gave consciousness to the creatures I made so that they may give purpose to the creation. So all things created come from the Abyss, from chaos.
Now I do not see myself as the Creator but that has been shown to me in my dreams.
Why in the commandments of the Creator he says explicitly do not worship anything from the Heaven above, on the Earth and beneath the Earth because simply you cannot pick and chose what the Creator is as ALL things created is the Creator. Nothing in this creation is apart or disconnected from the Creator all is one with the Creator.
And I abide by all commandments given by the Most High.
The Vatican created Jesus or Rome and the same technics were used as all other gods of the patheon, same hierarchies and the trinity. Whatever teaches seperation is of Satan the spirit of chaos of destruction. There is no trinity as ALL is one! All is the Creator's will within the creation. The Creator is absolute consciousness and our souls, spirit and essence are all different facets of that absolute consciousness.

Jesus was awesome fun loving and caring. Love Jesus
More knowledge more sadness. Things should be simple in this world. Love is simple. But who am I to talk…
That image of Jesus laughing is scary
Thanks for the video! I really loved it. I think it's important to denote that Gnostic belief is centered not in dualisms (i.e. Was Judas bad or good?) but rather was concerned with transcending both concepts entirely. This type of focus is much more common to Buddhism and other sects of Eastern thought that encourage self-liberation over worship of deities (i.e. Is God outside of you or inside of you??). Interestingly, traditional Roman Catholics also still maintain that worship of false idols is indeed a sin.
I'd super recommend Dr. Justin Sledge's academic work on RUclips over at Esoterica for great coverage of Gnosticism in-depth.
Thank you Alex! Great to hear from you and I agree with your comment! Peace to you!
@@ReligiosityPlus Same to you
Goes back to the mystical teachings of as above so below.

Apparently the talks about turning femaleness into Maleness in Gospel of Thomas parallels of how Mahayana Buddhism precepts of their Bodhisattva vows to follow the footsteps of Buddha Amitabha is to "renounce the state of being women" (look at 35th vow of monk Dharmakara before he become Amitabha)
The Church is definitely hiding some spicy shit that cant get out.
Judas had seen Jesus' enemies come for him and had seen Jesus walk away unmolested. Perhaps he thought that since Jesus was the Son of God, he was untouchable. In other words, "EASY MONEY".
Imagine his horror when Jesus was taken and killed.
Best comment I've ever read in my 28 years of living.
Jesus knew Judas’s strength and passion but also saw his weakness. “Greed And Jealousy”
There is so much about CHRIST we do Not know.
I was in communication with the LORD and HE cracked a joke at my expense and HE laughed, as did I. Funny though, it still was a life learning experience.
Another Time I was listing to a program on the radio, it was mentioned about no one being able to buy or sell unless they took the Mark, as I was pondering, the LORD said to me, But or Sell... Then HE had a GUT busting laugh. Then said to me, buy or sell? its ALL MINE. I will give you what you need for free. Months later, HE Revealed a scripture to me. To him who overcomes, I will give manna from heaven to eat.
The time left in this dispensation of time is very short. REVELATION 9:I5
I'm gnostic. But in my belief it's not to betray my path to God. To know him is to love him. So the more I know about our pasts the more I'm allowed to understand now. Blessings to all
To know is to perceive and see, but do you really see if what you are looking at are mere symbols, thoughts, and conceptions?
@Frank Lee no. It all began with me reading old texts and obscure non canonized books. But something a bit curious happened. There was Hebrew translations that in these books were very clear. So I began cross referencing with the Bible. It was then I discovered certain things in the Bible wasn't translated...even worse ir claimed to not know of the meaning or origin of most of the words. Some of these books were filled with spells and things. I don't recommend ever following any of those practices and have abstained from offending the Lord. But the heiracy is fascinating.
@Frank Lee Clavicus Solomon and Gemetria mostly. But yes there are elements of Jewish mysticism in there.
@Frank Lee A place to look at for more insight is the eastern philosophies such Taoism, Hinduism, and Zen Buddhism; Ive learned from Alan Watts. An example, the Taoist principle of wu wei is essentially the Christian 'fruits of the spirit'.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8
Gnostic is a false teaching and very dangerous it will twist scripture and make up and lie about so called "Gospels" the book of Judas is not the gospel
Good video. I've listened to an audio version online. I think it's the creepiest of all the Gnostic gospels and is perfect for reading on Halloween! It could be prefaced with: "A reading from the unholy gospel according to the heretics"! Creepy laughing Jesus, wow!
Dude, Jesus had the most exquisite sense of humor. The latter church authorities removed all the lightness and humour to put the people down, obedient, serving, paying, and depressed. Live your miserable lives, as Jesus bore the cross, they said, while getting a blow..ob under the table.
Judas is associated with Scorpio, whose deadly sting leaves two marks which resemble a kiss, hence Judas betraying Jesus with a kiss. The 30 pieces of silver relate to the 30 moon nights that occur at the end of Scorpio that lead up to December 21st (the Winter Solstice) when the sun rests in the constellation of the Southern Cross for three days before beginning its ascension. Let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years...
Scorpio ends in late November. It doesn't even touch December. And besides, we didn't have the months of July or August until Julius and Augustus Caesar added them. Soooooo, yeah. Food for thought
@@WolfMountford Indeed Scorpio does end in November and then 30 days, or nights, or pieces of silver should one prefer, one arrives at the Winter Solstice. Incidentally, the names of the constellations have nothing to do with the Caesars......sooooooo, yeah indeed!
@@Misteraitch1967 he said the months, not constellations
@@hhhugz5826 regardless of whether one wishes to follow the Julian, Gregorian, or some other calendar should one prefer, the constellations and solstices occur at the same time. It,s how one generates a calendar in the first place
“… the man who bears me”- it’s fascinating how this is what it says, seeing as a lot of people seem to say that Jesus wasn’t the one crucified, but that it was someone that bears his face. No way to definitively prove anything.
That is mentioned in Quran also, Jesus was never the one crucified, God replaced him with someone that bears his face. if only all these relgions come together to learn from each other instead of having the 1% making the 99% fight each other .

@@JimboMcCleary K. I believe in all that, except the Messiah BS. Jesus ain't gonna save ya, brother. But if YOU practice what he preached, YOU can save yourself. The whole messiah BS was the churches way of brainwashing the masses into believing in something external instead of looking inward and recognizing that the kingdom of god is within. But you fell for the trap and I feel for people like you. You believe the churches lies and the way they manipulated Jesus' teachings
We don’t know who wrote this book, but it was obviously to defame Christ and his message. It’s no wonder Gnosticism was heavily persecuted. Not only is it totally out of line with the rest of the gospels, but it openly destroys the idea of Christ’s divinity and the mystery of the supernatural world, and ignores the underlying moral narrative of the entire Bible. It was likely written by hedonists that were high on psychedelics, which would explain a lot of the themes similar to Scientology.
Hey great video! The editing is top notch! Super well done and easy to follow along!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was easy to follow along. These texts can get tricky, so I'm happy to hear that!

"Whats the benefit of being alive?"
Jesus: "don't worry about it, you're on loan"
Judas Judas: How much value is a good mans life worth?
Judas Jesus: Its been priced in.
Judas Judas:...Wh-what?
Judas Jesus: All of it- And I mean all of it - has been priced in.
Back in April of 2006 after reading the book I questioned to myself whether Judas was good or bad and I decided that he did good when he turned in Jesus because he did God's will and Jesus knew that Judas was the only disciple that He could depend on to do God's will, even though Judas, IMO didn't want to do it.
So you think Judas is one of those Good guys yes 👍
@@bulldozer3582 I believe doing God's will is good even if one may not really want to or understand how it could be good.
Genesis 22
@Treasure Poem whose interpretation of God's will?
@@SilentTraveller21 We don't have free will and only God knows what he wills. But the bible says that God declared the end from the beginning and that we can't do anything without him. God also states in the bible that he does his own pleasure and will. God also works through all of us (for the good of things) because his spirit is in all of us which gives us our living soul.
Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world which shows that God's will was for Adam and Eve to sin.
Philippians 2:13
King James Version
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Actually, the two "deaths" of Judas are the same, not different.
Scripture tells us that "cursed is every one that is hung on a tree". We even use the phrase "Jesus was hung on a cross"!
Jerusalem is a very, hilly area covered in trees. Judas, in his remorse, "threw himself down" (off a hill) purposely "hanging (suspending) his body on a tree" and in this violent process " he gets "disemboweled" and bleeds out.
Hang, in Scripture, is not the western term, meaning hung with a noose, but suspended like "hanging a painting".
Judas "hanged" himself by throwing himself off a cliff to curse himself by "hanging on a tree" and in the violence of the action his body is torn open.
I was about five years old and I remember hearing people on the subway declaring you've Always got to go threw hell to get a little Heaven , I always thought it was because our country was pulling out of the great depression !! But I can see this day Judas the agnostic is certainly right to brink of repeating !!
also i remember seeing a video back around 2009-2011 breaking down the mistranslation of "yahweh" or as depicted "YHWH"
instead it is Y H V V H and it does not mean what these people believe it does... quite the opposite.
i'm glad this text found the sun again but sadly, the rulers of this realm will decide how it will be implemented as with all things
if i come off as anti-religion, i'm not, just not buying christianity due to inconsistencies and flat out hypocrisies
as well as the obvious fact that it has been manipulated by a group of men for power, wealth, influence for more than centuries.
not to mention it's nothing but a collection of world religions mashed together and claiming to be the one true one.
if anything, all world religions worship the same entity and i'm not so sure they have it right. no matter the name or names they give it
tragically, i do not believe good won the so called war of the heavens. it would explain why we are in this state of prison planet
suffering, despair, and flooded with dread daily - but if we are to believe some of it
say only 144,000 will be saved, that's not many out of 7-8 billion
furthermore i find it funny that people think they are part of that 144k or can be become part of it when in reality (well their reality)
it has already been chosen. no free will only the illusion of free will
let's see what else...
oh, right, some passage about the wheat and the tares.
a tale of how archangel michael and the tree of life, how he goes down and picks a soul from the roots and sends it to earth
however overpopulation and not enough tree of life soul seeds can exist equally so there are far more soulless flesh prisons roaming
than there are those with souls.
those who know, know we are not human. we are not NOT human either. you're either a soul or you're a vessel - my thoughts anyway
do let me know bout that shirt though
A fire torch wielded irresponsibly by people in the past can still be used to light your way to the Truth, Brother.
The temple is inside of you, not any institution of man. Christ saved us all, and in my Father's house are many mansions. He has made a place for you. All things are possible with God.
Please have faith, Brother! Surely you feel the Holy Spirit with you? Please be still and pray, listen. Be good to those around you!
In John Jesus is equated to the Truth, the Way, the Light and the Logos. Many Christians then believe that Christianity has a monopoly of truth. The other way to see this is what is the highest value: Truth, so that which is not true should be discarded.
Logos at the time definitely meant instrumental reason (See Justin Martyr) but it also meant ethical “Truth”, it also meant artistic inspiration, and human virtue in general.
The real Christian idea is worship the Truth, and a greater ethic of Love, and life giving virtue.
Religious Dogma is not getting the message and getting stuck to a form, or ritual. This was already understood at the time as a type of idolatry.
Humans are vulnerable to idolatry of all kinds. Stubbornly believing something idiotic is a type of idolatry.
Christianity was one of many attempts humans made to transcend the idiocy of idolatry.
I read it. When I realized Christianity was getting snuffed out I decided the title alone was Evil. Gnost is Greek for “knowing or those who know.”
OH, YOU decided it was Evil ... really? So gaining or having knowledge is Evil to you? To make YOU happy, I hope you remain ignorant for all eternity!
The Mass has ended, go in peace!
Thank you for the info , great work , I had a question , from where we get our knowledge of gnosticism ? Is it from Church Fathers as Ireneaus for example , or there are other non Christian sources ?
Also another question , is it only the terms , aions , archon , saklas are the gnostic elements in this text ? I mean if these terms are not present can you still know its gnostic from its teachings ?
Thank you buddy
I could of sworn the book of Enoch explained Judas situation
Brilliantly enlightening thankyou!!
I have been intrigued by the Judas Gospel since I first read about it in the Tchakos documents. .
It’s basically fiction written almost 200 years after the life of Jesus.

As a Muslim, I am amazed at the similarities between the Gospel of Judas and the Quran about Jesus (Isa)
Wonderful work!

"Obscurantism is from darkness and knowledge from light".
Just a reminder dear Cher,
the topic is about the similarities between Jesus pbuh in the Quran and the gospel of Judas, and not about Mohammed pbuh.
Knowledge is key to understanding facts...
Quran: Words of the Creator.
The Quran was revealed by the angel Gabriel to Prophet Mohammed pbuh 1400 years ago.
Here to answer your accusations.
The scientific trends (in the Quran only) were discovered in the 20th century only.
Where do you think Mohammed stole a lot of stories and made up stuff from?
Did you know that all the bibles including the Quran have the same message from the Creator, the same Prophets and of course the same stories and stuff with different cultures.
We are here to learn, discover and appreciate the differences with an open mind without being disrespectful to any religion, Prophet or anyone.
It is so beautiful to love instead of hatred.
Salam peace with love,
Sister Fozia.
Because there’s nothing original in the Quran. The Quran took a lot of its stories about Jesus Christ from non-conical Gospels.
@@edward1412 unfortunately your opinion is based on hearsay about the Quran. You'll be nicely surprised and enlightened to discover the Quran corrected the previous bibles, and learn a lot more about Jesus that is not in the bible.
We all believe in One God, same values, same Prophets, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohamed. They all said said; "there is One God, one message".
Unlike the previous books, the scientific trends in the Quran are being discovered mostly in this century thanks to the modern technology.
Please, read it with an open mind.
We pray for love, unity and peace insha'Allah.
Peace to you
The fact that this Jesus character tells Judas in secret about divinity and such things, but does not explain it to the common person through the word of God tells me that the Bible is not the word of God but the word of man. An amalgamation of stories over centuries fit together for social control.
I read the Gospel of Judas several years ago and came away with the feeling that Judas was the only disciple that truly understood Jesus. Furthermore, that is why Judas turned Jesus in to the Romans... Without the crucifixion of Jesus redemption wouldn't be possible. Judas had the difficult task of helping Jesus to complete his mission.
This interpretation is also consistent with the canonical bible. I don't understand why Judas is made out to be the bad- guy; most Christians claim that Jesus' death was part of God's plan and Judas brought this to fruition... So Judas was doing nothing more than God's will. If Judas did commit suicide then this further indicates that Judas didn't want to do it but had to carry out his part of the plan. After all, Jesus knew what was going to happen (conversation at the last supper) and didn't do ANYTHING to stop his arrest/ crucifixion from happening.

take into heart that the prayers of these times are currently at an strong surge for the times of the book of Revelation. Just mentioning times are inlayed with many influences and this comment is just one of them. Take that into mind and read with the thirst for true knowledge. Try practicing to retain this knowledge by quoting the ACCEPTED Bible if you want to relate with others without displacing yourself. And your soul, mind and body shall become one.
And so the way of the land breaks into many, with one law, one messiah. Isaiah 44:3
This is the new way for the gentiles to speak so beg your pardon its new to me as well. Good luck with your learning not just one side of the narrative but the full undisclosed word of Our Father remembering the way of righteousness as told from one generation to the next. I may pray that Judas himself forgets his position of power and remembers the old path to home, in the name of Justice for the multitudes. Love or Hate the creator tries us all in full. And remember the path to Repentance is the way for acceptance for salvation and only Christ Jesus may take you to the fullness of knowledge and acceptance before the Lord. May the Lord reign forever and ever. Amen.
