I sleep in a foetal position. So that makes me: “tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.”
Sounds about right! =)

Only when you do not need anyone else. When you can be joyful just because God loves you. Only then can you feel needed by someone else. Only then can you love others and bring joy to their lives.
Gospel of Judas – and “Other Scriptures” April 9, 2006
Posted by faith in religion.add a comment
Just for a sense of truth… reading non-orthodox “Christian” literature is useful. Here are a few comments I found on Amazon.com that I feel are fair and logical:
Walter G. Fitzsimons
——————–
Dispite all the hype, the small volume is yet another of those third or fourth century “mystic” manuals of the so-called secret teachings of Jesus, who says we all have our own star, and instead of the ethical sayings of Jesus, the focus in on who does the god really like. Speculation as to what Judas thought and when he thought it seems to be the only new thing in this. Its a speculation one can find in the real Gospels and traces in such modern works as Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell. There really is not much new or useful in this. Sure, the Apostles didm’t understand Jesus. But the claim that Judas did is undone by all mystic claptrap in the rest of this thin volume. If you are looking for another Gospel, try Thomas’ – at least in it there is some things to think about.
Kevan J. Angel
————–
The Bible is viewed by Christians as absolute truth, inspired by God. That being considered, it is extremely important to be skeptical in reguards to literature claiming to be scripture. It is a fact that there is a large amount of literature written by Christians, early or more recent. The mere fact that it is a work authentically written by someone, even a Christian, of Jesus’ time does not mean it is implicitly scripture. The book may be an interesting read – and it might be relevant, but be cautious to accept it as “gospel truth.”
Me
–
You’ll find if you read the Gospel of Judas for yourself that it is not in the same league as the Matthew, Mark, Luke and John gospels selected by Irenaeus (ca. 130-202 CE). Not every work of literature by a claimed-to-be Christian is Scripture (God-inspired). Conversely, Scripture is not the only USEFUL Christian literature.
Judge any historical source on its own merits. If you hold a light up to the Gospel of Judas, I’m sure it’ll become obvious that it is not inspired of God – and perhaps even one of the least convincing of the “Gnostic gospels”.
For certain, Christianity was and still is a very diverse religion with various groups promoting various teachings. (But doesn’t that also apply to all religions and philosophies?) That does not mean that none of those teachings are truth. And by the same token, it does not prove that any or all of those teachings are truth. If one is a Christian, and believes that certain individuals were inspired by God to write Scripture, then one should also believe that God has inspired other individuals to protect Scriptural truth from corruption. (Not to mention the many God has used to preach and explain Scripture.) We must choose for ourselves based on the evidence of content and context whether God has inspired and protected “orthodox Christianity”, “Gnosticism”, or some other branch of religion. That is not to say the majority or the dominant sect in Christianity is true. But, it is only logical that God (if He exists and cares) would not let His own truth die.
