The Gospel of Judas

Wow. As in Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.

They found a crumbling ancient text somewhere in Egypt, and it was written in the Coptic language. If verified, the man we see as the epitome of betrayal would actually have been the most trusted, the most enlightened disciple of God. Through Judas, the prophecy had been fulfilled.

I had goosebumps the first time I learned about it.

This is one of the greatest twists in religion after the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, and The Da Vinci Code. Christendom would never be the same again.
