They even showed these people examining some alleged ancient writings, in an effort to prove it, The devil never sleeps. eric. Yeah, theres a showing coming on.................I think its next week called The Judas Testament????, I think was the name of it, I have it set up to tape, I just have to see what they've come up with for this one.

Plus, you would be surprised how many people watch stuff like this and then when you try to talk to them about the Bible, they bring up all of this junk..............I can say, yep, saw it and it was all lies and here is why!

The date is 4th century and validated by carbon-14 dating. It was written in Coptic and some believe if may have been copied from Greek. It is Gnostic writing and the account is that Jesus asked Judas, to help him to get rid of his physical body, so that he could live in his spiritual body. Jesus asked Judas to turn him over to the Jewish leaders, so that they would in turn, have him put to death by the Romans. This fits right in with Gnostic heresy, in that they believe that the flesh was evil. The accepted suicide as a noble act, which is probably why the gospel of Judas, doesn't mention his suicide. They also beleived that only those who had been given special secrets by Jesus, would be saved. They had other wiered beliefs, which is why nothing they wrote was ever included in the canon or accepted by the early Church fathers. The gospel of Thomas was also a Gnostic writing.

DIGITAL DISCIPLE Posted April 7, 2006 Group: Members Followers: 1 Topic Count: 2 Topics Per Day: 0.00 Content Count: 16 Content Per Day: 0.00 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 02/28/2006 Status: Offline Birthday: 12/16/1976 Share Posted April 7, 2006 It is very clear from the Bible that Jesus knew what Judas was doing and that God was going to use it for the good of us all. These Gnostic gospels are nothing more than fictional imaginings that deluded people who obviously didn't understand the menang of salvation came up with. Already as soon as Christianity was spreading there were false teachers and doctrines causing trouble, so I the only reason why these people would even claim that these heresies bear any weight is just so that they can say the Bible is wrong and they can continue sinning and living the way they want to.

Now I dont know what all the Gnostic holds as truth, but this is a truth, in the flesh there lies no good. Take a look at words from our brother Paul Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in MY FLESH,) dwelleth NO GOOD thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. This should be basic knowledge. ... IN his flesh! I think you took what our brother Jim wrote out of context. The next sentence Jim wrote after the one you quoted states, "They accepted suicide as a noble act." There were even those who believed the flesh to be so evil that they denied Jesus came in the flesh. The evil is not in the flesh, God's creation, but in our nature. Man was NOT created evil; rather he was created in the image of God. "Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully." 2 John 1:7,8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but it does not seem so with the sentence structure. He states that the Gnostic heresy, was in that they believed the flesh was evil. Or so it seems to me I edited my earlier post adding: There were even those who believed the flesh to be so evil that they denied Jesus came in the flesh. The evil is not in the flesh, God's creation, but in our nature. Man was NOT created evil; rather he was created in the image of God. "Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully." 2 John 1:7,8 We need to watch what we call "evil" or we risk contradicting the very character of God as revealed in HIS Word.
