I had been meaning to post this article for while; it'd been sitting there in my blogger box for I don't know how long. Saw something about Judas the other day and it made me remember to do more research. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the full document(as much as could be salvaged, anyway) was available online. <br /><br />Judas got the bad rap because it was convenient, I think. It's just too convenient to say that it was all about money or greed instead of analyzing the relationship between the two men before it all hit the fan. <br /><br />Why do we choose the story that suits our purposes? hmmm... I just got chewed up and spit out on a literalist's blog the other day about this very thing: selective reading and comprehension. The rationale behind it is very simple- because it's easy. Yup. Because it's easier. But there we go again with the layers of understanding. The literalists are where they are meant to be at that time in their life. We are where we are meant to be. Doesn't mean that they can't grow and climb up the ladder a step or two, just that the literalist take on the cosmos is what they can understand for the moment.<br /><br />I'll post that article tomorrow. Quite amusing. And I couldn't even bring myself to respond after the blogger's closing comment to me. It was just too blinded by the Cult of the Pope.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10724264061719518367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906915461562933007.post-4316642951252354802012-07-04T06:09:44.627-04:002012-07-04T06:09:44.627-04:00I think it's been a couple of years now that I...I think it's been a couple of years now that I post conflicting accounts of the thieves next to Jesus on the cross. I wondered why we only choose the story that suits our purpose. I had heard The Gospel Of Judas had been written but hadn't actually taken the time to pursue it. Admitting my laziness. I never understood why Judas got the bad rap anyway. Jesus basically told him to do it. Thanks for the postPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14481536758938694446noreply@blogger.com
