To Mary Ann about Judas (was Westerners and bed of roses)

disciples in understanding his teachings, and that Judas was

releasing Jesus from the clothing of his body)...

Dear Mary Ann ~ thank you for this summary. I have heard lots of news

coverage about how this turned previous ideas about Judas on their heads, but no

one provided an overview of why this would be so. Reading your post, I can

understand what they mean, although, I always believed that Judas was fulfilling

his karmic duty ... somebody had to do it, so Christ could complete His

mission and, as you said, to demonstrate the spirit continues beyond the

physical

confines of the body. Blessings ~ Linda P.S. I heard one commentator

encouraging viewers to learn to read Coptic so they could read the text for

themselves. I'm trusting the publishing industry and the folks who do the

translating

to get a book to us at some point.
