What I find odd is the recently (relatively) discovered and translated Gospel of Judas that I mentioned earlier and how most people have shunned it completely. In this story we find that not only did Judas betray Jesus but Jesus had gone to Judas and asked him to do so! This account has been written off by church leaders and hardcore conservative Christians as blasphemous and heresy. Isn’t it possible that this is the case? We only know of the circumstances surrounding Jesus capture and crucifixion from the views of the other apostles. In the Gospel of John we are told that Jesus actually points Judas out as his betrayer and tells him to do what he has to do quickly (John 13:27). Is it not possible that Jesus knew this because they had discussed it at an earlier time in the absence of the other apostles? So would it not appear to John or Matthew or Peter that Judas betrayed Jesus with malicious or personal intent not knowing that he had been asked to do so?

If so you must realize that the Gospel of Judas has reason to be accepted but isn't faith based and Faith is always greater than human reason
