Ha! The whole idea behind my writing it was to bring as much fact as possible to the heart of the matter: salvation. Read my first book, The Bible says Saviors - Obadiah 1:21. That might help it make sense. I was not trying to cover everything in 100 pages! Just the new information.Laura Bach wrote: ↑01 Jun 2019, 14:29 No, it didn't change my beliefs. I am not offended by it. I think because I can treat it as pure fiction.

The whole point of the book is that Judas was not a human being. He is literary fiction, just like Oz, Harry Potter or Bilbo Baggins.

Nobody dies to facilitate redemption. That is a Pauline Church myth. Read Hosea 6:6.Vscholz wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 20:19Very 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.

The betrayal of Christ is anything but an established 'fact.' Just because somebody wrote "Holy Bible" on a book cover does not mean it is.chiefsimplex wrote: ↑20 May 2019, 08:04 No, not at all.In fact, after reading the arguments in this book i felt even stronger in my belief that Judas was a traitor. In challenging such a grand and immutable fact, the author's attempt was pathetic.

You do realize that one could say this very thing about the New Testament itself?

So what exactly is it that you think makes my book the wrong book, and not the Bible?DogoMulla wrote: ↑14 May 2019, 20:32I SECOND! Anyone can write and research about anything nowadays. We must stand firm. It wont be the first time something is said or written that contradicts THE TRUTH and it wont be the last.Brandy C wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 12:46I totally agree! If the book changes your beliefs then you already had doubts and were leaning that way. If your faith is strong nothing will change or shake it.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.
