Judas perished because he was so faithful in the coming of external Kingdom of Heaven that he ignored the Inner Kingdom. Perhaps, so are we.
Judas was not a Satan’s agent.
Neither was he a hero
Who helped Jesus complete his mission.
He just saw a superhero in Jesus
And wanted him to expel the wicked Romans
With Jehovah’s mighty superpower.
He was just one of us
Who long for the external Kingdom of Heaven.
He was just like the people
Who cheered at Hitler, Stalin or Mao,
Longing for the Heaven on Earth.
His end was tragic
Not because he was a betrayer
But because he was so faithful
In the coming of the Outer Kingdom
That he ignored the Inner Kingdom
Which had always been so close to him.
Why do we hate Judas?
It’s because what we see in him
Is just the reflection of our stupid selves.
Judas was just like one of us
Who cheer at Batman or Power Puff Girls
In the lazy hope for superficial peace and justice.
So I want Judas to rest in peace.
He was not evil but just far from enlightenment
Just like all of us…

I agree what you've written abóut Judas. He was just a simple human like most of us:::
thre's nothing to blame... he's just a scapegoat for poeple to point their fingers at and take example..
Interesting. The Gospel of Judas, recently put on display by the National Geographic Society, describes Judas' handover of Jesus to the Romans as necessary and consensual. Jesus had to be given up, and he gave Judas his blessings prior to the event. This suggests Jesus was more of a plotter than a victim. Very political it all seems, at least in Judas' take on the whole deal.
Dave: I also saw the program. Actually NatGeo Channel program just introduced one of many gnostic interpretations of the Crucifixion...
I guess by choosing this they did not have to present St. Iraneus as a remaker of the history like Ingsoc in Orwell's 1984. You can see other gnostic beliefs in books buy Simon Freke and Peter Gandy.
