“Gospel of Judas”
Irrelevant in Light of Even More Startling Ancient Text

Written 100 years earlier – by Judas – little known Aramaic
document is found to be actual source of Book of Matthew, and to
have preceded the other Gospels

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2006 -- Recent interest in the
newly discovered gnostic writing "Gospel of Judas" is now drawing
attention to a much more controversial, 1,900 year-old, document
that was discovered in Jerusalem in 1963, translated into German by
1970, and first published in Switzerland in 1978, with English
versions appearing since 1992.

Known as the Talmud of
Jmmanuel (the “J” symbol is pronounced with the short "i" sound as
in Immanuel), the TJ, as it is called, shares one feature with the
Gospel of Judas – Judas Iscariot was no betrayer. Instead, he was
the trusted writer of the TJ. The TJ is much more comprehensive than
the Gospel of Judas, while indicating that the man we know as Jesus
was originally named Jmmanuel, that he survived the crucifixion and
then traveled through several countries with his mother Mary, his
brother Judas-Thomas and Judas Iscariot, that Mary died while on
their trek to northern India and was buried in Pakistan, that
Jmmanuel married and had numerous descendants, and that he died at
over 100 years of age and was buried near Srinagar, Kashmir. http://www.tjresearch.info/discovery.htm

With the order of events in Matthew's account of Jesus'
ministry closely following those in the TJ, and with the TJ's
original Aramaic text having been destroyed in 1973, due to its
great heresies for Judeo-Christianity, the TJ was at first dismissed
as a literary hoax based upon the Gospel of Matthew. This left only
the German translation available for analysis. However, according to
Prof. Emeritus James Deardorff, an independent gospel scholar who
has researched the TJ extensively, the translation gives its own
spiritual message while it resolves over 300 inconsistencies that
have long troubled New Testament scholars of Matthew. This occurs
often and by unexpected means, without problematic breaks in its
text, such as those which plague Matthew. Through redaction
criticism Deardorff concludes that the probability of the TJ being a
hoax is effectively non-existent, and that the TJ is in fact the
actual source upon which the Gospel of Matthew (not Mark) was
dependent.

As one example, only after the TJ appeared was it
noticed that the writer of Matthew had no reason whatsoever to refer
to the prophecy in Isaiah as being fulfilled with the birth of Jesus
– that a woman or virgin would bear a very important child and name
him Immanuel – unless the child had actually been named Immanuel,
not Jesus (Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23.). Any woman with child
might claim to have been a virgin.

The TJ contains more
definitive and non-allegorical predictions than does the Gospel of
Matthew, which appear to refer to these very times, as well as to
our future. It indicates that a very highly evolved person can
indeed prophesy with accuracy, as the Gospel of Matthew also
indicates with respect to short-range prophecy.

Adding to
the desire of many scholars to shun the TJ is the fact it was
co-discovered and edited by Billy Meier, the Swiss man who's also at
the center of the only scientifically proven, UFO contactee case,
still ongoing (for more than 64 years) in Switzerland. http://www.theyfly.com/ A further deterrence to
Western scholars is the fact that the TJ includes reincarnation in
its teachings, which would challenge the very core of Christian
beliefs and threaten the power of the Church itself. It is Meier's
direct connection to the potentially revolutionary TJ that may be
one of the main reasons why he has been the target of 21 documented
assassination attempts.

The connection between UFOs and the
Bible has often been pointed out regarding the book of Ezekiel but
the TJ offers new areas for serious consideration.

Matthew appears to depend upon the TJ and not vice versa, attempts
to debunk it along with refutations, scholars' evidence for the
Gospel of Matthew having preceded Mark, the list of witnesses
attesting to Meier's true UFO-contactee status, and assassination
attempts against the man.
