2. Was there a conspiracy to hide competing books?
CANONIZATION OFSCRIPTURE
THE GOSPEL OF JUDASPart 1 discussion questions
1.The DVD described the attempt of the Gnostics to rehabilitate the reputation of Judas. What do you think motivated them to do this?2.Why do you think Jesus appointed Judas as head of the apostle’s treasury when He knew Judas would steal the money?
THE GOSPEL OF JUDASPart 2-3 discussion questions
1.The Gnostics believed in the dual nature of Christ- his physical body was crucified but only his spirit was resurrected. Find two Scriptures passages that refute this idea.2.Why does it seem unlikely that Jesus ever laughed at or mocked His disciples?
THE GOSPEL OF JUDASPart 4-5 discussion questions
1.Why do you think the author/authors of the Gospel of Judas frequently portray Jesus as a young child? How does this fit in with Gnostic teachings?2.Why do you think so few details about Judas’ life are recorded in Scripture?
