the good judas....

ok, so the revelation that a new gospel, one according to judas iscariot, has been translated and published by national geographic was timely....given that today is palm sunday...and that is the day when the sunday school lesson usually involves the betrayal by judas......this newly revealed text contends that jesus asked judas to betray him.....which makes sense in that jesus already knew that judas would betray him at the last supper.....what better way to know this than having asked him to do so yourself......i would be interested to read the entire document at some point......as for the rest of the christian world......hopefully the source of the info...national geographic...will lend some credibility.......those folks do their homework before publishing a word or a picture.......
