CampingCarl posted:Isn't there an ancient gospel of judas that says christ told him to turn him in so all that would happen? Yes there is, and it is also in line with a lot of Gnostic beliefs. The Gospels themselves weren't only 4 in number, and the 4 we got were picked and translated under very sketchy circumstances. The story of the Gospel of Judas is basically, "I understood Jesus' lessons, was willing to be demonized for eternity to fulfill a prophecy, and kissed him goodbye." The punchline is that the more beloved apostles do stupid poo poo and ignore Jesus all the time even in the Gospels that are supposed to make them seem amazing (most of them never even try to understand Jesus' parables, they fall asleep when he specifically tells them to stay awake because he's going to die, Peter Numberone The Best Apostle swords the poo poo out of a dude when Jesus told him not to seconds earlier, the whole "you're gonna deny knowing me thrice before daybreak" poo poo, etc). The "superior" apostles were flakey morons who only fulfilled prophecies out of sheer idiocy, neglect, and assholishness. And all 12 of these people were specifically chosen miracle-makers with the gifted power to raise the dead and cast out demons under the most generous interpretations, Judas included. All in all, the idea that Judas betrayed Jesus, therefore Judas = MegaHitler is logically antithetical to the concept that God is not Evil for making Evil. If the answer to the latter is, "You don't know the whole situation," then there's no reason why it can't also be the answer to the former. edit: It's funny that the Bible has like 2 wild fanfiction versions of what happened to Judas ("He hung himself and the money was cursed forever!"/"He exploded in a field in a shower of guts!"), but in the Gospel of Judas the dude's like, "The others are going to murder me," which both fits in with their established Biblical personalities and all future generations of Christians.

For once, the so dumb and goddamn crazy woman probably isn't made of straw. Meanwhile, women submitting completely to their husbands is Biblical.

The Gospels themselves weren't only 4 in number, and the 4 we got were picked and translated under very sketchy circumstances. What was sketchy about them? The New Testament we have is a result of three centuries of Christians trying to figure out which of the many Gospels going around should be considered authoritative and which ones not. By the year 200 it appears that in many communities the NT was already very similar to the one used today. The councils of the 5th century didn't force a biblical canon on an unwilling Christendom but instead codified what had been a widely established practice. It's also no coincidence that the four biblical Gospels are also the oldest ones of them all (with the possible exception of the Gospel of Thomas), written probably between 60-100 AD, whereas most apocrypha were written during the 2nd or 3rd century.

I'm not sure where the prosperity gospel uses the pretext of good works to steal money though, unless he means televangelists that ask you to give them your money so God will bless you, but that seems like kind of a stretch. Prosperity gospel televangelists are pretty open that they're buying things for themselves with the money because they see it as God's blessing for doing his work. This is different from Judas saying that they should sell the perfume and give the money to the poor, because he was lying and was going to secretly keep the money for himself.

Rorus Raz posted:Hard, painful truths ITT You haven't bought enough Haggadahs yet!  According to the huffington post Shooting At Copenhagen Synagogue Leaves 1 Dead, 2 Officers Wounded "Denmark was on high alert after a shooting near a synagogue in Copenhagen left a civilian dead and two police officers wounded early Sunday morning, hours after a gunman fatally shot a man and wounded three police officers at a free speech event in the same city. Combined, the shootings left two dead and five police officers wounded. The second attack, adjacent to a synagogue in the Krystalgade area of Copenhagen, left a male civilian dead, and two officers with wounds to the arms and legs, police said. The wounded officers were receiving treatment. Police spokesman Allan Wadsworth-Hansen said that is was unclear if the attack at the synagogue was related to the attack at the free speech event. The identity of the victim had not been released. Police scoured the city for suspects, and hours after the synagogue attack, Copenhagen police confirmed that they had shot and killed a man near the Nørrebro rail station. Police said that when they confronted the man, who was a person of interest, he opened fire and was then shot. No police officers were shot, a statement said. The man's identity and condition were unknown. Police were investigating if he was connected to the attacks. Police had thus far not apprehended a suspect from either shootings, and were uncertain if it was the same perpetrator that had carried out both attacks. The synagogue shooter had fled on foot. Police described the suspect as a male wearing black pants and shoes, along with a gray jacket with a multi-colored portion." * * * Please note!if you want to get your Dry Bones Haggadahs for this coming Passover, you'll have to order now!

It's mentioned earlier in the Gospels that Judas was already stealing from the money bag that the Apostles were using for Jesus's mission. Judas was skimming from his friends, so yeah, he was a pretty greedy guy. As for his death, he hung himself before the Sabbath. Since under the Law of Moses, no Jew would cut him down and bury him on that day, he stayed on the tree all weekend. When they did cut him down, he'd bloated from being out in the sun so long. When they cut the rope, he hit the ground and burst because of the gas let off from decomposition. Wether or not he was forgiven by God is an entire other debate, since that's not in the Bible, and it's something Dante came up with.

I don't know if this is dragging out an unwanted derail and the current "appropriate" threads seem like trainwrecks anyway... Can anyone knowledgeable in scripture and/or theology explain what was so, well, sacrificial about Christ's sacrifice? He knew what was going to happen, in that after some torture and a grisly death, he'd come back from the dead, and then ascend to heaven and take place at his father's right hand. I guess if Christ went to spend eternity in Hell until after the Judgment, I could buy it being a big thing. I guess it's just the whole, knowing what's going to happen and it's actually pretty great, sort of thing that bothers me about the entire affair. I'm not downplaying the passion and the crucifixion, but people suffer some pretty horrific stuff all the time, sometimes even in the name of redemption, and they don't get a guarantee of resurrection and a ticket to heaven and glory. Actually, none of the resurrection and eternal life business made sense to me as comfort in the face of death, when presented in today's context. Back then, when someone died, if they were resurrected, they literally came back from the dead. Christ literally came back and ascended. How is that supposed to be any comfort when it's the complete opposite of what we face when we die? I'm not trying to be an edgy behatted neckbeard, these questions are all asked in earnest. None of this stuff ever sat well with me, and I just want to know what it is that I'm missing, if there's really anything to this beyond having faith. This got to be much more lengthy than I'd planned, sorry.

No, even 2000 years ago, when people died they normally stayed dead. The point of Jesus is that its literally God, creator of the Universe, dying for people's sins. When humans started doing things wrong, God could have just done "oh well", removed the Earth from existence and just started evolving another intelligent race to work with. Instead, God - remember, all powerful creator of the Universe, name above all names, the boss - takes off his authority, comes to Earth as a human, is brutally tortured to death while being abandoned and mocked by his people and his friends, then came back to life, just so he could save humanity from sin. During the passion, the aspect of God that was in Jesus was completely cut off from the aspect of God that was in Heaven (yeah, that's the complex part), so even though he knew that he would be ressurected like the Scriptures predicted, he still had to deal with all the emotions and fears and pain of being tortured. It's not that Jesus was just some wise teacher or something - he was God in human form, and chose to go through all that for the sake of mankind. That's the profound part. If you haven't, read the Gospels for yourself, they'll explain it better than I can. fool_of_sound posted:Judas is literally in Satan's mouth in Inferno. Again, that's Dante's political cartoon/epic poem, not actual scripture.

Have some more why don't you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3mFBh2z9sc If you view it from the perspective of the human part of Jesus, he's taking it all on faith. He has to die, and when he dies it will be OK. That's still cold comfort when they're torturing him to death though and he's not getting any visions or signs and he's alone with his doubts. That said I've always thought the miracle of Lazarus kind of diminishes this - if you believe that Jesus has already caused a dead man to rise back to life, that kind of takes the sting out of it a bit.

OldMemes posted:It's mentioned earlier in the Gospels that Judas was already stealing from the money bag that the Apostles were using for Jesus's mission. Yeah, in the gospels written by whom?  I mean really, if you take for a moment as true the narrative that Judas was good and he knew the other apostles would defame him after the "betrayal," then of course they would retroactively write bad things like "oh yeah he was a dick, i mean he took 30 silver for this, i wouldn't be surprised if he was even skimming from the coffers all along." Whichever side you actually subscribe to, the idea that the other gospels say bad things about Judas, combined with the fact that they were all written by fallible humans, is perfectly consistent with the "Judas gospel" narrative. e: Also I'm gonna admit that most of my initial exposure/education about the matter does come from the gospel of Andrew Lloyd Weber, but having examined the actual "canon" more closely after the fact, I still think that Jesus' sacrifice being necessary and being precipitated by Judas makes it kind of strange to believe that Judas was a horrible traitor who deserves to spend eternity in satan's mouth, rather than a catalyst for what both Jesus and Judas knew had to come. Does anyone know what mainstream (not crazy fundamentalist) Christians think about Jesus Christ Superstar? Do they love it because it's a rockin' tale about Jesus? Do they just ignore the non-canonical Judas stuff? alnilam fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Feb 16, 2015 |

But that's me talking as a casual reader, I'm sure there are Dante Scholars who know a lot more about it than I do. Fun fact, iirc: Dante basically invented the written Italian language.
