Good morning, today I found this article on the much hated Judas Iscariot. I began to read it and impulsively decided to post it. Poor Judas get a raw deal, and it was not his fault, God did choose him to relieve Jesus of his clothes, (no gay ting, meaning physical body). We here on this blog site, have not been to church in a long time, and I have been having an urge to dig up one my old church hats buried under my cellar, as ugly as it may be and putting it on and sitting in the front pew in mi white stockings and mi fan, halleluyerrrrr! Cami, and all the ladies here I have a hat fi hoonuh! So off to Church today we go, singing “We shall have a grand time!
THE ROLE OF JUDAS & THE GOSPEL OF JUDAS
About Judas: His name; did he betray Jesus?
Judas Iscariot’s first name:
Yeshua of Nazareth became called Jesus Christ, because Jesus is the Greek spelling for Yeshua, and “Messiah” is the Greek translation of “anointed one.” So too, Judas was not the real name of the disciple who “betrayed” Yeshua. His actual Hebrew name is Judah, which means “praised.” It is Judas in Greek. James Robinson writes “Judah is about as popular a name as one can find in all of Judaism. Indeed, Judaism itself is named after Judah! Judah is, after all, the origin of the word Jew.” 1
Judah is also the name of one of the original twelve tribes of Israel. When the kingdom was divided under Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, the southern kingdom was called Judah. Under the Roman occupation, it was named Judaea. Judea remains the name used by Israel today to refer to the occupied West Bank and other areas.
Judah /Judas was a very popular name in first century CE Judea. There are six individuals mentioned in the Christian Scriptures (New Testament) with this name. One was a brother of Jesus. The Epistle of Jude was actually written by man who claims to be Judas, the brother of James. This presumably makes him the brother of Jesus mentioned elsewhere in the Scriptures.
In an attempt to differentiate between the Judah who “betrayed” Jesus and the Judah who was a brother of Jesus, the translators of theKing James Version of the Bible arbitrarily changed his name, and the name of his epistle, to Jude. Most other translations have followed suit, apparently feeling that tradition is more important than accuracy. Of the 30 translations of the New Testament in our group’s library, all but two — The Authentic New Testament by Hugh J. Schonfield and the James Moffatt Translation — refer to Jude and the Epistle of Jude. The former contains “Open letter to Gentile communities — Judas” The latter contains “The Epistle of Judas (Jude).” 1
The meaning of “Iscariot:”
There are many theories but no consensus on the meaning of Judas’ last name. It may mean:
 |
“From Karioth” — a town in southern Judea, a.k.a. Kerioth. |
|
“From Jerusalem“ |
|
“Of the Sicarii.” The Sicarrii is a name for Zealot terrorists and assassins. 3 |
|
“The false one” from the Aramaic ishqaraya. |
|
“The deliverer” from the Hebrew word sakar. 4 |
|
etc. |
How has the Christian Church treated Judas?
The Christian Church has been inconsistent in its treatment of individuals from the Christian Scriptures (New Testament):
|
Mary Magdelene whom Jesus particularly loved and who had the honor of being the first person to visit the tomb where Jesus had been laid (according to the Gospel of John). or was among the first group to visit the tomb (according to the synoptic gospels), has been systematically denigrated as a prostitute. |
|
In various passages of the Christian Scriptures, Jesus is recorded as rejecting his mother and family, referring to Peter as Satan, criticizing his disciples for their lack of understanding of his message, censuring them for sleeping while he prayed, etc. Yet, the Christian church has raised all of them to the level of saints. Mary, Jesus’ mother, is held in particular esteem by the Roman Catholic Church and some other denominations where she referred to as co-redemptrix, mediatrix and advocate second only to God in status. |
|
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has even rehabilitated Pontius Pilate by declaring him a saint, even though he was a Pagan who was responsible for sentencing Jesus to death, for the crucifixion and the massacre of many Jews. 2 |
|
Numerous passages in the four canonic gospels describe Judas Iscariot as a betrayer, traitor, devil, thief, and transgressor. According to the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke, Jesus said “woe to that man” who betrayed him. He also said that it would be better if Judas had never been born. However, Judas has never been rehabilitated by the Church. He remains a pariah, despised by Christians. |
Was Judas a betrayer?
Did Judas truly betray Jesus? There are a number of theories:
|
Jesus was unable to foresee Judas’ actions. This theory is inconsistent with a number of passages in the Christian Scriptures which specifically state that Jesus was aware of Judas’ betrayal from the time that Judas became a disciple. It is also inconsistent with most Christian groups’ concept of the Trinity and of the omniscience of God. |
|
Jesus knew of Judas’ actions in months in advance but was unable to prevent it. This also conflicts with the idea of the omniscience and omnipotence of Jesus. |
|
Jesus knew of Judas’ intent to betray him, but chose to allow him to continue because it would allow the God’s plan to come to fruition. |
|
Judas and Jesus worked together to make certain that Jesus would be crucified, in order to facilitate God’s design for humanity. This is the belief of many Gnostic groups and is the theme of the Gospel of Judas. This conflicts with Jesus’ threats of Judas’ future punishment found throughout the gospels. |
|
Author William Klassen suggests that Judas did not betray Jesus at all. 5 He suggests that the word “betrayal” found throughout English versions of the Bible is a mistranslation of the Greek word “paradidomi.” An accurate translation would be “handed over.” Klassen suggests that Judas was only planning to give Jesus over to the Jewish authorities so that they could evaluate his claims. This theory cannot account for the word translated as “traitor” in Luke 6:16. The “traitor” could have been a mistake by the author of Luke, or a copyist’s error. |
|
Another possibility is that the story of Judas’ “betrayal” and Jesus’ subsequent arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, his trial(s), his appearance before Pontius Pilate etc. might be a work of fiction.All of the canonic gospels have a description of an aggravated assault by Jesus on commercial interests in the Jerusalem temple. This appears in the Gospel of John at the start of Jesus’ ministry, and in the synoptic gospels near the end. It is extremely unlikely that Jesus could have assaulted so many people without having been quickly arrested by either the temple guards or the Roman garrison. An individual who did this near the time of Passover in Judea during the first century CE — when nationalistic feelings were high among the population — could be expected to be arrested by the Roman army, given a hearing before a junior officer, and promptly sent to Golgotha for execution. If this is what really happened, then there would have been no betrayal by Judas; there might even have been no Judas at all among Jesus’ disciples. |
The punishment of Judas:
There are some serious philosophical and theological concerns regarding Jesus’ threats that Judas would be punished for his actions:
|
If Jesus knew of Judas’ deception in advance then Judas has no free will and cannot prevent the betrayal from happening. Thus he is not morally responsible for his actions. This would be particularly applicable if Judas was possessed by a demon, as stated in some of the canonical Gospels. |
|
If, as most Christian denominations teach, the death of an innocent man-god, Jesus, was necessary for the salvation of some humans, then Judas would be punished for playing a necessary role in the salvation of humanity. That seems profoundly unjust. |
|
Jesus only suffered for a few hours while he hung on the cross. If Judas is sent to Hell for his deception, then he will suffer punishment for all eternity. Thus, Judas had already suffered much more than Jesus had by the end of the day of his suicide. |
|
Luke 23:34 records Jesus’ last words as: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” A case can be made that this granting of amnesty extended to all involved in his execution, including the Roman executioners, Pontius Pilate, and Judas. 3 |

Yes Obara, the Muslims starts their prayers 5:00am, while the Christians hold so called all night vigil with speakers loud. But come to think of it, thought they say the night is for the evil. Why hold all nights. Very confusing religion.
Hellyerrr, a serious question here, no joking matter, but have always wondered about some of these church choruses and the words which at time seems non sensical to me, no shade or criticism, ah just need clarity, who knows this church chorus
Oh de woman of Sumeria, de woman, oh she left de wata pot an gone
Oh de woman of Sumeria, de woman, oh she left de wata pot an gone

I am going to watch the video now. Good yes that will match my white stockings. I will be back going to watch the video
Wow. So sorry to here that. Charles, the Church has done a lot of damage, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I hate to see the damage religion has done especially to AFRICA, I once told a Nigerian woman that Jesus was black, as described in the bible, de woman said ABOMINATION, LOL
OORE YEYE OSUN OOOO!
Morning Obara, Cam, and everyone. Obara,what color hat you have for me? Cami, thank you for letting me know Jesus is not God. Lol. Will christians forgive anyone, the most judgemental people I have ever met. Poor Judas got such a bad rap
Hey Toy, dwln I can’t stand when they state that like a fact of all facts.
Yes you are right. The whole bible is contradicted. Their different pastors with different preaching. None of them can give same explanation on same topic. That was how they deceived my mother and made her left us. One day, my mum went to church and I don’t even know how she started off her discussion with them. Telling them that my father once got married during the Civil war in Nigeria and along the line, my dad and the wife separated. After some years, my dad got married to my mum and mum gave my dad kids which I was one of them. After she told dem church people, they now told my mum, that she’s not the original wife of my dad. That their bible does not recognize her. Meanwhile, my dad married my mum in the church. While the first woman was not wedded in the church. Now, them so called pastor told me mum, she has to live the marriage and do what they called restitution. That was how my mum packed her things and left my father with 6 children. You need to see damages this Christianity things has done to some many homes. My dad never believed in church. He believes in the old traditional way. Consults the dibia “means babalawo in Igbo language” whenever he’s face with issues. You won’t even believe that after my mother left. She went to her church and was telling them that my father have got different gods in his home. She even went ahead and burnt them. My inheritance “smile” I can go on and on. In Nigeria you have different churches here and there. None has got love for each other.
Wow Charles that’s horrible. I know of this Nigerian family that was separated because of the church too. The wife is an initiate of Oshun, and they convinced the man that he should divorce her because what she did was wrong and went against the principles of the church. They put the”fear of the Lord” so to speak in the man, and he left his wife and child.
Charles don’t feel bad I’m sure you catch my spirit already. Your mother could have gone her ways and not destroy your father’s traditional things. How did that confrontation go down? And what is that restitution thing about?
Morning Cami, Im living with it. Most damages Christianity have coursed are right here in Africa. Religion we never knew, some group of people came and force it down our throut. My mother has a calling to worship, but she’s not going the right way. Imagine her father was one of the big dibia in his time. The gods want her to serve them, instead she’s hiding in the church, claiming born fire!
Charles I pray she finds her way back to her roots and embrace her ancestors…May God give you the strength to carry on the legacy of your forefathers…
ASE! Oshey Ty
Charles my heart broke as I read this…how can people be so wicked to break up a family…. O ma se o
I bet dem never shame fi collect money for the wedding…
kiaaaa, cuh church hat!!
O, i’m doing some admin work…be back.
Hello Charles, the council of Nicea and pope Julius, correct me if I am wrong about the name, had their reasons why they did all this, the whole bible is a contradiction within itself Charles!
Gud evening Obara and ES crews, I have never thought so deep like this. Thanks Obara, this is another eye opener. But why would they hide all this in their bible.
ah one comedian name ricky smiley, lol

Popping out for a while. Tek care of unno self till mi forward back…No misbehaving (looking at Cami..).
Teach mi naah lie, mi nuh like how granny look like Shawn Wayans in drags.
Hey Bubblez, how yu duh? Big M dey dey a panka panka still.
I think what the christians feel is that Judas was in the company of Jesus and as suchhe was a ‘friend’ and sold him out for ’30 pieces of silver. Ultimate case of betrayal.
Good one MTH, but that’s the common excuse, lol. If it was faith that caused all that they are compel to forgive him…turn the cheek cause if he died for man’s sins then judas included.
Good morning ladies glad fi si yu MTH how’s big M? poor judas very good question is why cant christians forgive judas? smh i would like any christian to explain…..waiting
Teach a little off topic, but take a look at this article I just saw on CNN. An African young lady (22 years old) saves her family from Ebola. They had it and she treated them.

Yes Cami, as a spiritualist I can read my self, but where spirituality is concerned, I rely on my messengers to come and tell me, warn me, advise me.
As a traditionalist, it is compulsory that I consult with me Ifa every four days, Ifa is my guide and I can use Kola nut, or Opele (yes I cast Opele) which is a divining oracle to use as a guide and follow the instructions given to me by Orunmila, the owner of the Ifa Oracle!
Your answer cause me to concede that “…Jesus knew of Judas’ deception…” and like you was advised by a messenger.
Alot of finger pointing in these writings. One thing that shows truth to what has been said here is that the satan or the devil isn’t singular, because here we have even Jesus referring to Judas as such an entity.
Jesus couldn’t have known about Judas because he would have attempted to throw the outcome. He may have known about an event to come but not the entire detail.
Obara, can you as a spiritualist read yourself? After you answer then I’ll conclude (lol).
dem all have song sey JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, and you cannot argue wid dem enuh, but Judas did Jesus a favor and hall now de good forgiving christians has never forgiven de man
I can’t understand that either. Given that the creator sanctioned the entire event how can they hold it against him? If not for his actions then Jesus wouldn’t have “died for their sins”…lolol. Hey I meant that as an insult, sorry can’t help myself.
I would like Christian peepers/bloggers to remember this quote “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
This quote should put to rest the constant uttering that Jesus is God. Jesus cannot be praying to himself!
Let me be the first to say that hat uggggggly no backside! Obara! I can see with you ugly hat obsession, this one look like a bird backend!
Good day, readers and bloggers…
