Amen. Life is too short to start projects that you don't even wish to finish. Good for you.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!

Very interesting belief! It isn't one that is frequently discussed, I don't think, but it is important to remember that Jesus HAD to be crucified. His death allows future generations entrance into Heaven. That being said, Judas played his role. (I'm not super knowledgeable on religions--I find them fascinating but I'm far from a scholar in the field.)LoisCHenderson wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 07:27 No, it doesn't change my beliefs as such, but merely confirms them. I've always felt deeply about the so-called 'betrayal' of Judas, and thought that he has been maligned for the pivotal role that he played in Jesus's death. According to the Christian view, Christ had to die on the cross to redeem mankind from their sins. Judas was the catalyst and proponent of the Resurrection.

This is also the same for me. Much had been said about Judas long before the New Testament books. The Psalmist had spoken about and all that came to pass. I guess nothing much changes from reading the book.Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 04:58 No this doesn't change anything for me.

I completely agree with you.ShailaSheshadri wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 22:55 No. It doesn't. Even though the author has pressed his viewpoint about Judas, it won't affect my opinion. Judas will remain a traitor.

I agree with you. If someone does not know the methodology of scholarly research in this field, they can easily be led away by false philosophies. One has to be rooted in Christ to read such books.Julie Petitbon wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 18:54 It doesn't change my outlook, but I guess if you already have doubts and questions you could be swayed by the book.
