well put.Nyambura Githui wrote: ↑15 May 2019, 03:31 No it doesn't change my beliefs. The book is only theories and not enough proof. I think Judas did play an important role ,but as a traitor, because Jesus had to die on the cross for us. I don't think Judas was another Master.
LOL... That is a good analogy!MsTri wrote: ↑07 May 2019, 19:22You took the words right out of my mouth! I feel like I need a shower, just thinking about reading this book!AKShanmar12 wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 17:16 I'm going to pass on this one. While I make a point of NOT avoiding things that disagree with my beliefs, I also don't want to waste the amount of time that reading a whole book would take. Based on the other reviews, it sounds like the author is starting at such a different perspective than my own, I believe that the book would just irritate me. I would rather read something I enjoy!
Couldn't have put it better myself.Readerjorge wrote: ↑15 May 2019, 20:32 Regardless of whether or not Judas was a traitor does not affect the belief that Jesus is the Son of God and therefore Christ, it may be true that Judas was not as bad as they have traditionally seen him
I can also comment by saying by doing this, the author somehow also strengthens Christians more. The more you can answer questions such as those raised here then you are exercising your muscles for stronger challenges coming.Roxanne Thomas wrote: ↑03 May 2019, 11:04 For me it does not change anything much, it however gives me another point of view from which to look at Judge's betrayal to Jesus. I have reached a point in my life where I don't believe everything that I hear, read and see.
They say "seeing is believing" but that has been proven to be wrong at times. I don't believe that there is anyone on earth that can answer the questions that I have with regards to Jesus, so instead I will wait until the day He returns and ask Him and His father Jehovah personally my questions.
You learn more from challenges to your faith and adversity than from agreement and obeisance.Kibetious wrote: ↑17 May 2019, 03:16I can also comment by saying by doing this, the author somehow also strengthens Christians more.

Wow! Such an interesting logic. I totally agree with you. Thank you for such a thoughtful comment!Balazon2000 wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 10:56 If one book could change your religious outlook then, in my opinion you are not strong in your faith. So, the answer to the question, for me, is no.
