The Gospel of Judas is believed to have been written during the latter part of the 2nd century, so it could not be written by Judas, circa 30 AD. One has to reject the canonical gospels in order to accept this one because the Gospel of Judas shows him as being obedient to Jesus and not disobedient.

In the 2nd century a Bishop of the Church, Irenaeus, spoke of this heretic writing from a sect called the Cainites, saying this:

"Others again declare that Cain derived his being from the Power above, and acknowledge that Esau, Korah, the Sodomites, and all such persons, are related to themselves. On this account, they add, they have been assailed by the Creator, yet no one of them has suffered injury. For Sophia was in the habit of carrying off that which belonged to her from them to herself. They declare that Judas the traitor was thoroughly acquainted with these things, and that he alone, knowing the truth as no others did, accomplished the mystery of the betrayal; by him all things, both earthly and heavenly, were thus thrown into confusion. They produce a fictitious history of this kind, which they style the Gospel of Judas."

Well there are parts in the gospel where it says about the corrupted church... and it's leaders... which are quite right. Anyway i don't believe that this book is true... i just want some discussion with people who had read it too.

If the claim to be a writing from Juda the Apostle, then the book contain a lie, and is not spiritual.

Does it contain good things. Nobody say that the only books containing good things are in the Bible. In fact. wolves dressing like ships had the technique of saying a lot of spiritual trues and then inserting theyr own lies. That is the strategy of people like Rick Warren who have been much sussesfull on that wolf tactic.

I repeat.. i don't believe thaT this book is true...It's a non Canonical Gospel.
The aim of this thread was a discussion on the theology of this book... and generaly the theology of Sethian Christians... i don't want to make people believe this book... I'm not a heretic...XD
