Does the book change your religeous beliefs?

[Ferdinand_Otieno]

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.

well put.

My belief is well established with the books currently available in the Bible, so this book only makes for interesting reading.

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!

You took the words right out of my mouth! I feel like I need a shower, just thinking about reading this book!

LOL... That is a good analogy!

This is definitely an unpopular view of the event. This does not change my view from seeing Judas as the traitor, but having this view is also a valuable reminder that in history the victor writes the story. Its good to see and hear other people opinions and views on this though.

The book Misreading Judas by Robert Wahler does not change my religious beliefs. The author has presented his extensive research about the controversial subjects of the Gospel of Judas. I think that it is okay to read books written by someone who has different opinions than I do about various topics.

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

Couldn't have put it better myself.

I cannot argue that the book is an interesting read.

How interesting would it be if we were judged upon the books we considered reading.

No it does not change my beliefs. This book closely relates to the biblical Apocrypha. Books that were omitted from the bible. In the end Judas was a necessary evil and was still a created being. God makes peace and creates evil. If anything this strengthened my belief and helps me to understand everything happens for a reason.

Once a traitor always a traitor, every one knows Judas is Judas no matter how white we try to pain him.

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.

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.

You learn more from challenges to your faith and adversity than from agreement and obeisance.

[Fazzier]

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.

Wow! Such an interesting logic. I totally agree with you. Thank you for such a thoughtful comment!

No! Not at all. The book just provoke my thinking and reasonability. Or should i say it "proves my previous instincts right?" anyway i have a strong religious belief that cant be compromised by a single book.
