Would a Gospel of Judas change your understanding of Christianity?
>>17982331I’m pretty sure it exists, at least in anecdotes.
>>17982331why would it?it's not like Judas had any personal reason to want Jesus dead. he just wanted the money.
>>17982331i’ve read itit sucks
We have a gospel of Judas. It’s Gnostic nonsense.
We do have a Gospel of Judas, yet the Early church leader Irenaeus explicitly condemned it as heresy.
>>17983703>>17985191Wouldn't a Gospel of Judas if genuine shed a light on the nature of predestination that Calvin and other Christian thinkers grappled with?
Yes, it taught me the truth and I saw yaldeboath for what he is
>>17985384No because Calvin and the rest of the Protestant swine were heretics
>>17982331Gospel wouldn't *change* my understanding. It would *confirm* it.The Bible is just the winning faction's marketing material. The fact that a text exists framing the villain as the only one who understood the mission proves early Christianity was a fictional construct. A myth that the elites used to get and keep the people in line.

A myth that the elites used to get and keep the people in line.Christianity is the only religion which needs a permanent marketing department which is called Theology. Theology is basically garbage cope invented to reconcile all the errors in marketing material which made no sense but can be made believable to retards with some cope. Next step is to make this garbage cope taught in universities as “science” so the cope won’t be questioned. That’s why all big universities have “theology department” as if this is science. It’s all so tiring
>>17982331He died, so he couldnt write anything. The existing gnostic gospel of Judas comes a couple of centuries after Christ. I actually have that fake news book around at home. My dad bought it. >>17986048>unlike modern academia pretending the intestines are a sexual organ and that an eunuch is a man. And that life spontaneously appears from inert matter. The universe too comes from nothing.Humanity's peak age of science and reason free from theology.>>17985786>The elites make up a religion completely alien to the locals causing tremendous fracturing over centuries to 'keep them in line'Dont hide in absurd non historical theories, Jesus forces you to take a stand, pretending Him away doesnt work.
>>17985384>God was compelled by his own necessary atributes to create a world in which he knew man would rebel, leading to 99.9% of the humans he loved being tortured for eternity without even the possibility to repentHow do Calvinists even live day to day believing this?>Humans are evil so they deserve infinite punishment just from being bornOk but why even save some of them then? Jesus calls even his disciples evil after all.
>>17985384Yes, it could influence debates on whether God’s plan encompasses even sin and betrayal.
>>17986292>How do Calvinists even live day to day believing this?How is that different from Catholicism or Orthodoxy? I was always under the impression that the gospel implies most people would be damned (wide gate analogy, narrow path). I thought Calvinists main distinction was the issue of predetermination.
>>17982331The Gospel of Judas not only exists, but has been widely known for over 20 years and has not notably changed the world's view on Christianity. Bad thread. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Judas
>>17987158Yeah but atleast in their conception of things people reject god out of their own free will, it's still messed up of course, but slightly less so, although some Thomists are basically as bad as Calvinists.
