If the Bible is the gold brick in the American spiritual sidewalk, then you simply have to ask: What is the relevance in the fact that Christ might not have been betrayed at all? That he may have orchestrated his own arrest? What does this say about his divine wisdom? About Bible stories as a whole? More importantly, how does the new and improved Judas story pinch the bum of our collective mythology? Does it or does it not kick out one of the shaky support beams of the modern Church? Shouldn’t it?

Yay for ctrl+c

The Gospel of Judas, as claimed/found by the Discovery channel or whatever, is no more relevant to Christianity than the Apocrypha utilized by the Catholics.

Canon isn’t determined by the people present within writings. Many works include people from these times that we know, but not every one is divinely inspired. They fail the tests of canonicity.
