Default The Gospel according to Judas

Not sure this is a Fata but i didn't see it.

A 300 AD text believed to be the only surviving copy of the biblical book the Gospel according to Judas has been translated by a National Geographic team. A Bibilical Scholar from Acadia University was part of the team so it is front page news today in Nova Scotia. According to the story in the local paper today it is a book believed to be a part of early Christianity and was believed to be removed from the bible around that 300 AD date.

Basically, it portrays Judas as the hero apostle. That Jesus asked and essentially conspired with Judas to have Judas "betray" him so Jesus could get done what he needed to get done.

It will be an interesting discussion for years to come among the Christian faith.
