猶大福音之謎？明見真章。The Gospel of Judas?

各位，

本月十日晚間九點國家地理頻道播出兩小時的〈猶大福音〉專輯，這份七○年代於埃及出土的紙莎草紙古抄本，於2000年重見天日，由國家地理學會找來專家保存、鑑定、翻譯，文獻中的記載與傳統新約福音大相逕庭，將猶大描寫為協助耶穌完成救贖計畫的英雄，已引起廣大爭論。

明日安息日，台中教會講道內容將由釋經權威瓦蘭˙柯林頓教授（劍橋大學新約博士）分享他對此旁經的見解，您不可錯過。

在這之前，您可到國家地理頻道看看他們的新聞稿：http://www.ngc.com.tw/press/20060407.asp

然後，再看看本會對它的一些看法：http://www.adventist-chinese.org/judasgospel.htm

“The secret account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot…” –The Gospel of Judas

Dear all,

All anyone has heard about on the first week of April is the release of the so called Gospel of Judas, which was also broadcast on National Geographic.

In the words of FrKurt Messick, quoted from one of the spotlight reviews on Amazon.com, says that, "what is the issue with this gospel? The central idea that places this text as odds with the canonical gospels is that it paints Judas is a very different light - Judas is no longer the villain who betrays Jesus for his own personal gain, or because of his own spiritual confusion, but rather an obedient servant who, when turning Jesus in to the authorities, is simply following Jesus' own direction as a necessary step for God's plan to come to fulfillment. Judas is portrayed as the closest of the apostles to Jesus, a leader among the apostles, and thus perhaps the object of jealousy. "

Prof Walan Clinton (PhD, New Testament, Cambridge Uni.) is going to share his findings with us regarding this subject on the Sabbath morning, which is tomorrow 29 April. You don't want to miss this one!!!

But before that, you might wanna see what the national geographic people have to say about it on their press release:

4/1 心靈SPA

平安 平安

安息天果真是神所賜福的日子。從星期五晚上默劇的排演，直到早上的演出，下午的讀書會，我們都看到了神的恩典。「浪子回頭」，聞者傷心、聽者流淚。除了神的帶領，煜琅前置工作的付出，包括劇本，旁白與背景音樂的錄音，舞台的佈置，還有小炎準備的道具，當然，所有演出人員，除了前述兩位(煜琅:浪子，小炎:妹妹和醫生)，還有演技精湛的冠宇，把爸爸的角色演的唯妙唯肖，在這裡，我們要說:謝謝你們的努力，辛苦了。「浪子回頭」，我們也看到了雨喬許多好點子的成果，也有前一晚惠娥的編導，雖然妳們沒法看到演出，但若沒有妳們的參與，不會有這樣好的迴響，謝謝妳們。

其中一張照片是下午在文生家的讀書會，「尼西米之重建耶路撒冷」，討論熱絡，讓我們了解到在我們可以帶領人之前，每人心?頭需要再重建的耶路撒冷。謝謝師母的準備及引導。今天，我們感謝神，有雅琪和惠娥參與其中，願神賜福與妳們。不克出席的好朋友們，相信很快可以再看到你們喔。

Ps.其實，來讀書會真的不錯，除了心靈得到成長，同時也有使身體得到安歇的功能，看看牧師就知道啦。
