Who has seen the National Geographic: The Gospel of Judas The Lost Version of Christ's Betrayal?

Question

I would like to hear what you think?

Answer 1

No I haven't-wanna give me a summary?? Sounds interesting. Is it based on the new Dead Sea Scrolls they found??

Answer 2

I taped it on my DVR. It was really interesting to watch how they put the scrolls back together so they could verify their authenticity. I also liked how they reinacted the story of how the gospel got into the hands it was in throughout history. I'm not a very religious person, although I am interested in the stories of the bible and biblical figures. I enjoyed watching the show, and it got me interested in watching the other shows on National Geographic.

Sorry, it's been a while since I watched it, so I'm trying to remember what I saw in that show vs the other shows on the bible I watched.

Answer 3

I'm glad your only interested in what I think because I wouldn't be able to remember everything that they talked about.
I think that it does not mean that now the entire Christian faith can be disregarded. there were many biblical stories that were thrown out or lost when the original "Bible" was compiled.
I personally do not believe in any of the stories in the bible so it makes no difference to me. It was another book of fiction.

But my Christian friends are not worried. There will be many different versions of the story of Jesus but it is his message that matters, not the petty details of the events leading up to his sacrifice.

Answer 4

I read the article. It was interesting. Keep in mind that it is a Gnostic writing and the Gnostics were big on the whole idea that we are just spirits and that our physical selves don't matter.
It does raise questions about Judas though, and it's a good reminder that the earliest Christian community was very diverse.

Answer 5

makes more sense in this context than any other. Judas was Christ's most trusted man...it never made sense to me that he would betray his buddy for nothing, and as the version prior to this scroll, that is exactly what we were supposed to think. Does it really matter? Not really. Those of faith believe regardless of how it all went down, those who do not believe won't regardless of what is said. That is why it is a matter of 'faith.' Faith needn't be rational, and in fact, is irrational when you think about it.

Answer 6

I have seen it.

I thought it was a well-made feature on this discovery and also presented it's information in a well-balanced way.

Answer 7

That has been proven not to be historically accurate.
