Ah yes, "a team of scholars". That settles it, who can argue with a team of scholars?! Certainly not some guy in a white robe in Rome. The MSM subversives get subtle all of a sudden.
It was already known from an early Christian author known as Pseudo-Tertullian that one group of gnostics, known as the Cainites, defended Judas...all the newly-published text does is fill in some of the details. From a Christian perspective, what the Gospel of Judas might say is of no more importance than what the Koran might say.
Spaking of the idiot MSM....Last night a promo by Jon Scott of Fox News about Jesus, said "Jesus, ONE of the most powerful people ever to live"!!! ONE!!! Hey Jon.....Jesus was the MOST powerful person to live! geesh.
