Thread Name: BS: Book of Judas
Subject: RE: BS: Book of Judas
Well, the way I see this this has beena bad day for the fundamentalists who believe strongly that there has to be a boogie man to hate...
Jesus told His disciples of the future... How could the "future" come about had it not been for Judas???
This part of the story is more consistent with my Faith, based on a loving God, than one that has to have a boogie man in the equation...
And this may sound wierd, but I have never had any ill-fealings toward Judas... I mean, as a follower of Christ, I have tried to put myself in Judas's shoes during my life time and this was the only conclusion I could come up with... I mean, all of the disciples loved and believed deeply in Jesus...
Yeah, I hope this very important manuscript will get those who have grown up in Faith based on having to have someone to hate to rethink the basis of their Faith...
