They have created a savior from far older records, and with little effort, it is easy to see how messed up the whole story really is. Only through indoctrination and fear could it have lasted this long.

The lies that have been hidden and the way people have been manipulated can only be confronted with the TRUTH! That truth declares that man is not meant to be ruled by deception!

                   

 

     Was there ever a Gospel According to Judas? An ancient book found in an Egyptian cave could be just that--and have an explosive message for Christians.

About three decades ago, a 2,000-year-old mystery surfaced when a farmer looking for treasure in an Egyptian cave instead found a decaying leather-bound book, called a Codex, written in ancient Coptic. Not realizing what he had, he sold it to an antiquities dealer.

Five years after the Codex was found, a scholar named Stephen Emmel was asked to look at it, but under the condition he not photograph it or make any notes. He told ABC's "Primetime" that he leafed through it and spotted a dialogue between Jesus and Judas and his disciples. "The name Judas came up again and again," he recalled. Then for 16 years it sat crumbling in, of all places, a safe-deposit box in a Long Island, N.Y., Citibank. In 2000 it was sold to former antiquities dealer Frieda Nussberger-Tchacos, who told "Primetime," "I think the circumstances of this manuscript coming to me were predestined. Judas was asking me to do something for him."

National Geographic and ABC News report scholars now think this is the long lost Gospel of Judas that was banned by the early church as blasphemous and ordered destroyed. Deciphering it was a monumental task since the 13 pieces of papyrus were in more than 1,000 pieces. Swiss restorer Florence Darbre and her partner painstakingly fit the tiny pieces together like an ancient jigsaw puzzle. Then Emmel and another scholar, Rodolphe Kasser, were called in to authenticate the text. "I've looked at hundreds of papyri, Coptic papyri, in my career, and this is absolutely typical of ancient Coptic manuscripts," Emmel told "Primetime." "I'm completely convinced." The final task was to use radio carbon-dating to authenticate it, which meant destroying tiny pieces of the precious document. The result? The text was written between the third and fourth century and is believed to be a copy of a much older document written in Greek in the second century.

What it has to say could shake Christianity to its core: The Bible says that Judas is the one who betrayed Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silver, handing him over for crucifixion, an act that damned him for all time. But this Gospel of Judas tells it differently: Jesus asked Judas to betray him.

"Now, the Gospel of Judas also has Judas say to Jesus in fear and terror that he has a dream that the other disciples will hate him and will stone him to death, will attack him, Elaine Pagels, a professor at Princeton University and one of the world's foremost experts on ancient religious texts, told "Primetime." "And Jesus says, 'Yes, in fact, they will think that you are a terrible person because of what you did. This is part of the burden that you bear. But they will be wrong about that.' So it is an extraordinary transformation of the ordinary understanding of Judas Iscariot."

 

       Can you imagine what this means? It is the most important thing released that shows deception and manipulation on the part of not only the church, but Jesus himself. If the Old Testament stated that the savior would be BETRAYED it was NOT fulfilled by Jesus! You cannot be betrayed if you ASK someone to do it! In the story, Jesus TOLD Judas to turn him over to his accusers! And to show just how sick this all is, Judas is terrified and Jesus tells him in effect "You will be the most hated person in human history, but don't worry, they will be wrong about that"! Are you kidding me? This shows Jesus as not only a manipulator, but someone who is willing to destroy his friend for his own sick agenda! If someone is betrayed, they are not supposed to TELL someone to do it! Judas was following orders, to betray Jesus, he would have to say he would turn him in and then not! Jesus ALLOWED him to be hated under false pretenses! What kind of sick person does something like that?! And for the so-called church to order the destruction of this to keep people deceived is just as sick! I have said that the entire Muslim, Christian, and Jewish faith is an agenda to deceive the faithful in order to ENSLAVE THEM!!
