can you tell me a bit about it, never heard of it

We must be careful what we read and give weight to. "The Gospel of Judas" has been rejected by most. I suggest praying and asking God if you should lend credibility to these words and lean on his guidance.

Yes I have input......the whole bible, all of them are all BS. No different than Homer's writings, all fairy tales based on some fact with a lot BS nonsense thrown in. That people actually believe it is amazing. There is no such thing as Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, The second coming, Valhalla, Hercules, the savior, the messiah, Angles, the devil, heaven and god. It's all stuff men made up to control people and answer questions they did not know the answers to because they did not have SCIENCE, we do now.

Well, if was found in the early 1970s, and no one but cranks and hacks have ever been all that excited about it. It is a fragmentary (damaged and incomplete) manuscript written in Coptic (Egyptian), and has been carbon dated to 280 AD +/- 50 years. It's "important" in that it tells us about the peculiar and aberrant theology of a 3rd century quasi-gnostic group called the Cainites. Being basically Greek anti-Semites with an overblown Platonism that rejected the material world as evil and as the creation of "the evil tribal god of the Jews" - they decided to deconstruct the Bible and read it where all the villains were really heroes. Hence their identification with Cain. (There was another group like them, the Ophites - who identified with the serpent as the hero). Consequently, they also made Judas out as the chief instrument of Christ's "liberation" from the material world. The fact is - no matter how much and long they wax lyrically about "how diverse early Christianity was" - every single NT scholar on the planet will tell you the Gospel of Judas tells us nothing of the actual facts of the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth, and that it is entirely derived from the canonical Gospels edited and spin-doctored to fit the Cainites peculiar theology. In short, it is a primary document for researching a religious fringe group in the 3rd century, but offers us no historically useful material on the life and death of Jesus or early apostolic Christianity.

"The Gospel of Judas is a Gnostic gospel purported to document conversations between the apostle Judas Iscariot and Jesus Christ. The document is not claimed to have been written by Judas himself, but rather by Gnostic followers of Jesus. It exists in an early fourth-century Coptic text, though it has been proposed, but not proven, that the text is a translation of an earlier Greek version. The Gospel of Judas is probably from no earlier than the second century, since it contains theology that is not represented before the second half of the second century, and since its introduction and epilogue assume the reader is familiar with the canonical Gospels. The original Coptic document has been carbon dated to AD 280, plus or minus 50 years. Judas Iscariot According to the canonical Gospels of the New Testament, (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), Judas betrayed Jesus to Jerusalem's Temple authorities, which handed Jesus over to the prefect Pontius Pilate, representative of the occupying Roman Empire, for crucifixion. The Gospel of Judas, on the other hand, portrays Judas in a very different perspective than do the Gospels of the New Testament, according to a preliminary translation made in early 2006 by the National Geographic Society: the Gospel of Judas appears to interpret Judas's act not as betrayal, but rather as an act of obedience to the instructions of Jesus. This assumption is taken on the basis that Jesus required a second agent to set in motion a course of events which he had planned. In that sense Judas acted as a catalyst. The action of Judas, then, was a pivotal point which interconnected a series of simultaneous pre-orchestrated events. This portrayal seems to conform to a notion current in some forms of Gnosticism, that the human form is a spiritual prison, and that Judas thus served Christ by helping to release Christ's spirit from its physical constraints. The action of Judas allowed him to do that which he could not do directly. The Gospel of Judas does not claim that the other disciples knew gnostic teachings. On the contrary, it asserts that the disciples had not learned the true Gospel, which Jesus taught only to Judas Iscariot."
