This topic is a huge one, but will develop it more over the next couple of days. Today I heard a speaker on the topic of Aramaic...the original speech of early Christianity or at least of Jeshua. It brought me back to my graduate school study of world religions...where I discovered ONE TRUTH, many faces!

Do translations of texts make a difference? Does the audience of the auther change the speech? Are words dilutions of the feelings that they are attempting to convey? The young man has passion for his work and the energy he moved throughout the audience held us spellbound.

Newly found texts change the meaning we have held for years. Old texts, once deleted from the canon, make an appearance in the Apopcrypha. Long held secret scrolls once more see the light of day. Open your heart... the message is within you.

The Gospel of Thomas

After being lost for nearly 1,700 years, the Gospel of Judas was recently restored, authenticated, and translated. The only known surviving copy of the gospel was found in a codex, or ancient book, that dates back to the third or fourth century A.D. The Bible's New Testament Gospels(GOOD NEWS)—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—depict Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, as a traitor. In biblical accounts Judas gives up Jesus Christ to his opponents, who later crucify the founder of Christianity. The Gospel of Judas, however, portrays him as acting at Jesus' request.

The Gospel of Matthias is a lost text from the New Testament apocrypha, ascribed to Matthias, the apostle chosen by lots to replace Judas Iscariot (Acts 1:15-26). The content has been surmised from various descriptions of it in ancient works by church fathers. The number 12 was to be maintained.
