The "gospel" of Judas
First of all, click HERE to follow a link to a friend's blog. He dealt with the subject well.
The only others thing I would add are these:
1. We have over 2,000 copies of the New Testament works in the original Greek. Most predate this work. We now have ONE copy of the "gospel" of Judas. This calls into great question any authenticity at all, and suggests the ramblings of a rogue theologian.
2. The word "gospel" is not a universal word to describe any musings about Jesus. It means, quite literally, good news. It is a word reserved for the writings that show us the good news about Jesus, not about others. In recent years, many questionable texts have arisen and the pagan media immediately slaps the title "gospel" to it. Don't believe the media!
3. It's about Jesus, not Judas. God desires a relationship with people, and He has made that available through the life, death, and resurrection of His son Jesus Christ. THAT, my friends, is the GOOD news!

Sadly, the media will not represent the "Gospel of Judas" as a Gnostic writing, part of another religion; they'll represent it as an early Christian writing and suggest that the early Church suppressed it. The contemporary media is a force to be reckoned with...see here.
