Gospel of Judas

Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger.

Imagine that after you die your child writes your biography. Then imagine that 300 years after your death, someone else entirely disconnected from your life writes another biography, this time with an agenda in mind. Whose biography would you take to be the most accurate portrayal of your life? The answer seems clear, doesn’t it?

But for some reason, it is not to many people. The recent publishing of the so-called gospel of Judas has stirred controversy over the life and death of Jesus Christ. The primary problem, though, is that it was written about 200 years after Christ’s death by a group of people determined to alter the Christian message.

You see, we have the biographies written by the children, the four Gospels in your New Testament and all of them date to within one generation of Christ’s life. So which are you going to believe-the testimony of eye witnesses or the ramblings of a heretical splinter group?
