I love listening to Bart Ehrman, but one thing that does not make sense is to first argue that Jesus went to Jerusalem not expecting to be killed and then arguing a minute later that Judas became disillusioned with Jesus because he was talking about being crucified. If Jesus came to Jerusalem not expecting to be killed, why would he talk about being crucified? It seems that Bart Ehrman is dismissing a part of the Bible story only to then use that Bible story to explain Judas' motivation. If you want to argue that Judas was disappointed, what would be more plausible is to say that Jesus went to Jerusalem, not expecting to be arrested and killed. Judas expected that going to Jerusalem meant that the revolution was about to get underway and once he realized Jesus did not intent to start an uprising, Judas was disillusioned and went to the authorities to get Jesus arrested.

I thought he was saying that Bart's opinion is that the historical Jesus did not expect to die in Jerusalem, while the Gnostic Gospel of Judas portrayed Judas' betrayal as related to the disillusionment you mentioned.

Something wrong with Bart’s assessment of the Judas betrayal. He doesn’t think it’s likely that Jesus predicted his own death, but says Jesus predicting his death is the most likely reason that Judas turned on him
@reekinronald6776
Ай бұрын
Yes, this. To be honest, there really is not much at all in the New Testament to start trying to get into the motivations of everyone in the bible. Bart's musing has as much foundation as those who say Jesus was gay because he wasn't married and hung out with a group of guys. It becomes a blank slate to project your own bias.
@TheCow798

He didn’t say that Jesus predicting his death was the reason for the betrayal; just Jesus expressing doubts that things would go as he originally stated. If I say I don’t think I’m going to get a promotion, and that day I get hit by a bus, I didn’t predict my own death even if my prediction was true.
@reekinronald6776

@@TheCow798 Bart also said that he thought Jesus would be the king and the 12 disciples would rule over the 12 tribes (which I thought was a good argument that he didn't know he was going to die). So Jesus thought he was going to be King and then says, "Oops, my bad". A simpler explanation is that Judas simply saw the net closing in on all of them and it was nothing at all about Jesus his teachings or what he said about his plans, Judas simply lost faith in their work and likelihood of success and betrayed Jesus to save his own skin. It's not like we don't see this type of betrayal in various groups all the time. But any speculation of his thought processes is just that, speculation based on nothing.

He was crucified, died and on the 3rd day resurrected. Followers of Jesus Christ exist today not only because of the bible. It still exist because the spirit of God lives in the lives of the followers and such flames and fire can't be put out merely because of one man saying otherwise.

Read Frank Morris. The Roman’s and Jews knew Jesus whereabouts because they were surveilling Him. They were all highly superstitious back then and they truly believed that Jesus could destroy them with a wave of His hand. The value Judas brought was that he was able to tell the Jews when Jesus was resigned to his fate. This provided the best opportunity to take Him without resistance. Frank Morris- Who Moved the Stone

Gnosticism is really appealing as it at least addresses some of the hardest things to reconcile with canon Christianity in a direct, meaningful and plausible way. Why is there pain in the world? Because it was created by a malevolent creator. Why are there so many bad things in the Old Testament? Because the God there was malevolent and the material world is malevolent. Even the removal of the crucifixion element makes it more about Jesus' knowledge, teachings and death of his material body the important thing, without the need for magic miracles. Compare this to the answers from Pageau last week, that were really so shapeshifting and abstract that it was difficult to walk away with a succinct summary of what his points are (granted his followers, mostly religious, have a different reaction to him). It's actually quite moving to understand that people in the 2nd century wrestled with how difficult the Christian story is, and sought alternative answers to the traditional version.
