GOSPEL OF JUDAS

the gospel of judas is a GNOSTIC GOSPEL.

gnostic gospels:
writings by people who claimed to be

"disciples" or "believers" of Jesus Christ.
these writers also say they had "secret
revelation" from God.

gnostic gospels are BLASPHEMOUS,

untrue, not in line with the early reliable
teachings of Jesus, inconsistent with the
teachings of Jesus' closest disciples or
apostle paul, and not agreeable to the
Divine Nature of
Jesus Christ

Gospel of Judas:
- found recently in the desert of Egypt
written in about 300A.D

- about 300 years after Jesus rose and
after judas hung himself.

- unknown writer.

- claims that Jesus told judas to betray
HE HIMSELF so that judas can exceed
the other disciples.

- claims that judas was actually closest

to Jesus, not john the beloved.

- gospel is not the 1st untrue,

blasphemous inaccurate gospel that
was found. other fake gospels include
gospel of mary, of philip and of thomas etc.


why is the gospel of judas
(or any other gnostic gospels) not reliable?


1) they are not written by Jesus' closest
disciples have inconsistency to the

teachings of Jesus Himself, and teachings
of Jesus closest disciples, and apostle paul.

2) writers of these gospels are USUALLY
unknown, or identity of writer is FORGED.

3) these fake gospels do not agree with

the early gospels of matthew, mark, luke
and john about Jesus being God and having
DIVINE characteristics.

4) for gospel of judas, its ORIGINAL text

was written about 200 YEARS after judas
hung himself. so not only was the gospel
of judas not written by judas himself, it was
written by someone who lived 200 years
AFTER judas died. thats 1/5 of a millenium.
imagine someone writing about you after you
had died for 200 years.

5) there are major inconsistencies

within these gospels too.


1 Timothy 4:1-2
The Spirit clearly says that in later times

some will abandon the faith and follow
deceiving spirits and things taught by
demons. Such teachings come through
hypocritical liars, whose consciences
have been seared as with a hot iron.

1 Timothy 1:3-6
As I urged you when I went into

Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so
that you may command certain men
neither to teach false doctrines any
longer nor to devote themselves to myths

and endless genealogies. These promote
controversies rather than God’s work –
which is by faith.

2 Peter 2:1-3
But there were false prophets among

the people, just as there will be false
teachers among you. They will secretly
introduce destructive heresies, even
denying the Sovereign Lord who bought
them, bringing swift destruction upon

themselves. Many will follow their shameful
ways and will bring the truth into disrepute.
In their greed, these teachers will exploit
you with STORIES they have made up.
Their condemnation has long been hanging
over them, and their destruction has not
been sleeping.

Gnostic gospels are not new. As early

as after Jesus rose, the early Christians
have been warned by Jesus’ disciples
about perverse, demonic teachings,
bent on swaying people from the truth.
God shall expose these lies and punish
those who are out rightly blasphemous.

8th post

dear Godchasers,

Wanna say you guys did an awesome job
today for cafe duty. Though some of us
were first timers, i felt that it seemed like
we have done cafe duty many times,
don't exactly seem like first timers.

I wanna applaud you guys for being so
hardworking. Really glad to see diligence
and NOT laziness.

I could see that some of us were really
enthusiastic in serving God and serving
others. All of us helped each other, from
keeping tables to clearing the trash to
cooking and even going after someone
who took our food without paying. =)

I know it's tiring, but i'm glad no one
complained and nobody "chao keng"
(take note:that's very bad attitude).
Jesus showed us how He served God
and served others, even his disciples.

That was how humble He was, and He
is the perfect role model for us. =)

We were also one of the fastest team to
wrap up, clean up and finish all the stuff.
Yup, we were efficient! Keep it up!
That's the spirit of excellence.

Lastly, please have a good rest tonight.
Keep your eyes on Jesus! He is waiting
for us at the finishing line, with a big
wide SMILE. ^_^
