Gospel according to Judas
The recently unearthed Gospel of Judas "contradicts everything we know about Christianity," says religious historian Elaine Pagels.

  • actually, there's more to it than that

    Jesus' one and only commandment was that we love one another.

    Actually, there's more to it than that. First and foremost, Jesus said, “ 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment" (Matthew 22:37-38).

    If you don't love God, all the rest is for naught.

    What does it mean to love God? Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey what I command" (John 14:15). So for those who try to water down Christianity to some vague "let's all get along" message, you're confronted with Christ's own words that we're to obey him first.
