"The Gospel of Judas is what is termed a Gnostic text, a term which means 'knowledge' or 'those who have knowledge'. What though is this knowledge? They know secrets that are said to bring salvation. Salvation though to a Gnostic did not come through going to church or worshipping God, or even by doing good deeds, but rather, by knowing the truth - the truth about the world that we live in, and the nature of God, in particular by understanding that God is not some far off ethereal father who sits on a white cloud, but rather, exists in each and every one of us. The knowledge that the Gnostics taught was therefore self-knowledge, knowledge of our own inherent divine nature. Part of this knowledge was knowing that the body, like the physical material world, is illusion and that death is therefore an act of liberation, where the spirit, our true essence becomes free to fly home. Thus it was that in condemning Jesus to die, by turning him over to the authorities, Judas was actually carrying out a great act of kindness, for it was this that enabled Jesus to leave his body and ascend."

Speaking of which, quote of the day from this article:
"I dare not trust my own human reason on such an important matter. I must look to the Bible alone to find out the truth."
Gnostics are gnuts.
ReplyDeleteThey (and others like them) hold death above all other aspects of life. (Death cult.)
The Bible says death, for a Christian at least, is comparable to sleeping, and at the second coming we will awaken.
BTW, I'm pretty sure the Bible says Jesus ascended in His own body, contrary to the last sentence in that paragraph.
"Gnostics are gnuts."
ReplyDeletelol :) partially agreed.
Yes the last article I linked to explains the case according to the Bible that Jesus was resurrected physically.
"The Bible says death, for a Christian at least, is comparable to sleeping, and at the second coming we will awaken."
Aha, death may indeed be sleeping, yet life is but a dream...
