From the text shared, it is hardly 'good news' as the word 'Gospel' implies.. it sounds like it is 'all about Judas': <BR/>- "You will be cursed by the other generations -- and you will come to rule over them". Rule over who? How often does Jesus say someone will 'rule over' people?<BR/>- "Secret account".. why do no other Gospels require 'secret accounts', when indeed many of them WERE secrets? Maybe because Judas was special?!<BR/>- "Look, you have been told everything. Lift up your eyes and look at the cloud and the light within it and the stars surrounding it. The star that leads the way is your star." Not all stars lead to God. Have you followed Alec Baldwin lately?<BR/>- "You will exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me." Yes, Judas WAS special..<BR/><BR/>Still haven't seen any of the 'good news' that would qualify this as Gospel.<BR/><BR/>Instead the initial quotes shared lead me to believe that it is the same old story offered to Adam in the Garden..Behr Whitewashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342803062379293172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14630412.post-1144439555033364992006-04-07T15:52:00.000-04:002006-04-07T15:52:00.000-04:00Grace is grace, however, actions are louder than w...Grace is grace, however, actions are louder than words. His decision to end his life showed that while grace is offered, we must accept.<BR/><BR/>While not being a scholar in this area, I have to believe that his decision to end his life was a rejection of that offer.<BR/><BR/>(some may argue while hanging he may have repented, certainly possible)Behr Whitewashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342803062379293172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14630412.post-1144369732966794132006-04-06T20:28:00.000-04:002006-04-06T20:28:00.000-04:00"Fascinating" indeed!
