Reason being our bible through time has had man re working the meaning of the orginial script. For me the Gnostic readings thus far has filled in the gaps that the bible we have today leaves out. I believe that the Holly Spirit ignites in us the meaning of all writings thus is why our journey is a personal one. How can learning something new not give growth? Reading these text of Gnostic has made me fill closer to our Creator, Christ and the meaning of our lives. Why would it be so hard to think that Judas was asked to hand Jesus over? Remember this was planned by the Father foreknowledge. Put it this way if you where dying and on life support of some kind, would it not be someone whom you loved that you would ask to pull the plug? Knowning your demise is it not more comforting to have someone you love taking the bold steps to end your physical life or would you rather be someone that is an enemy or stranger that holds no respect or knowledge of the person you are?

Keep on doing it! I have found lots of straight answers about which I was also confused! I'm sure the Spirit will teach us not only what to say but also what to beleive. And you have to decide: there was a spiritual inspiration of the Biblical Canon and these are the false teachings of the last times, or: the Biblical Canon is not yet closed, the Spirit is still revealing writings through archeological founds (what if the ending verses of Revelations, Rev 22,18-19 or the whole book couldn't have made into the Canon?), or: the forming of the Biblical Canon was partly the work of the Spirit and partly the spoiling of the Church of those times (work against the Spirit?), as even the apostolic church could have mistakes. Is that right, Refomrmers? A young Reformed pastor from Romania, Europe. Great ministry! Keep on doing it! I have found lots of straight answers about which I was also confused!

We don't know what happened 2000 yrs ago - do we? It is time to sideline for a while the stand taken by the religious authorities so far, and ponder that how could Judas have betrayed the Son of God? If it was all the plan - then Judas merely played a role that no one else was capable of performing. If this was the case - where is the scope for betrayal? If Jesus knew that Judas was to deliver him - how could anyone term that as betrayal? Hello,
