SCAM - a dishonest scheme; a fraud. swindle ("a guy that scams old pensioners out of their savings")
Matthew directly states that Judas betrayed Jesus for a bribe of "thirty pieces of silver" by identifying him with a kiss – "the kiss of Judas" – to arresting soldiers of the High Priest Caiaphas, who then turned Jesus over to Pontius Pilate's soldiers.
Judas Iscariot - Betrayer or Scapegoat?
The word ‘Judas’ came not only to be associated with, but actually mean ‘traitor’, along the same lines as the less known ‘Et tu Brutus’meaning 'Even you, Brutus'*, the dying exclamation of Julius Caesar in realising the betrayal by his beloved friend Brutus * (he was reputed to have said, "Even you, my son" suggesting that Brutus was more than a close friend, but William Shakespeare changed it to 'Et Tu Brutus'). The 30 pieces of silver given to Judas Iscariot for his betrayal of his teacher is used frequently today to signify ‘treacherous sell-out’ or ‘betrayal’ for money.
Judas is also the subject of many philosophical writings, includingThe Problem of Natural Evil by Bertrand Russell and Three Versions of Judas, a short story by Jorge Luis Borges. They both allege various problematic ideological contradictions with the discrepancy between Judas' actions and his eternal punishment.
Bring It Down!!! You're FUC@@!!! Crazy!!!
(1) If Jesus foresees Judas' betrayal then Judas has no free will, and cannot avoid betraying Jesus; (2) If Judas cannot control his betrayal of Jesus, then his punishment and portrayal as a traitor in western culture is undeserved; (3) If Judas is sent to Hell for his betrayal, and his betrayal was a necessary step in the humanity-saving death of Jesus Christ, then Judas is being punished for saving humanity; (4) If Jesus only suffered while dying on the cross, and then ascended into Heaven, while Judas must suffer for eternity in Hell, then Judas has suffered much more for the sins of humanity than Jesus, and his role in the Atonement is that much more significant. The Bible also states that on the cross Christ forgave those that had contributed to his death, saying that they 'know not what they do.' However Judas seems to have not been included in this pardon.
Everything About YOU!!!
I, hate the rain and sunny weather, And I, hate the beach and mountains too (And) I don't like a thing about the city, no, no And I, I, I, hate the country side too!
And I, hate everything about you! Everything about you!
Many also asked if the Bible states that on the cross Christ forgave those who had contributed to his death, saying that they 'know not what they do', why then was Judas Iscariot the only one not included in this pardon? Hyam Maccoby, author of Judas Iscariot and the Myth of Jewish Evil, who suggested that the medieval Church deliberately stressed on Judas as the ultimate betrayer. The Church wanted to make him the ‘fall-guy’ or scapegoat, because this role, played at an individual level by Judas, would then be played also by the Jews as a whole. Making Judas guilty allowed the medieval Church to pretend neither Jesus nor the other apostles were Jewish. With this contrived Jew-bashing – their role in western eyes as Christ killer - the medieval Church wanted to 're-invent' Jesus Christ as a non-Jew. James A Nollet, a book reviewer of Maccoby's book, attracted our attention to a peculiarity about Judas name that I found interesting. Nollet asked of us: “Now consider who Judas really is. He's the only disciple with a surname." Strange, isn't that so?
In a World of existence, Is a World full of Fakers, Swines, Scammers and Betrayer!!!
TYPES OF SCAM
Attempts to gain your personal information
Scammers use all kinds of sneaky approaches to steal your personal details. Once obtained, they can use your identity to commit fraudulent activities such as using your credit card or opening a bank account.
Buying or selling
Scammers prey on consumers and businesses that are buying or selling products and services. Not every transaction is legitimate.
Dating & romance
Scammers take advantage of people looking for romantic partners, often via dating websites, apps or social media by pretending to be prospective companions. They play on emotional triggers to get you to provide money, gifts or personal details.
Fake charities
Scammers impersonate genuine charities and ask for donations or contact you claiming to collect money after natural disasters or major events.
Investments
If you are looking for a fast way to make money, watch out – scammers have invented all sorts of fake money-making opportunities to prey on your enthusiasm and get hold of your cash.
Jobs & employment
Jobs and employment scams trick you into handing over your money by offering you a ‘guaranteed’ way to make fast money or a high-paying job for little effort.
Threats & extortion
Scammers will use any means possible to steal your identity or your money – including threatening your life or 'hijacking' your computer.
Unexpected money
Scammers invent convincing and seemingly legitimate reasons to give you false hope about offers of money. There are no get-rich-quick schemes, so always think twice before handing over your details or dollars.
Unexpected winnings
Don't be lured by a surprise win. These scams try to trick you into giving money upfront or your personal information in order to receive a prize from a lottery or competition that you never entered.
Nollet then said that the surname is not a Jewish surname. He went on to translate ‘Iscariot’ (in a fairly detailed process) as ‘daggers’. In other words, Judas Iscariot had then meant Judas the Daggerman, or Judas, Man of Daggers. Nollet averred that this name is significant because the noted Jewish historian Josephus recorded that during the time of the Roman occupation of Judea, there was a group of assassins within theZealots who frequently picked off stray Romans by stabbing them to death with the sicarii! [a root word leading to the compound ‘Iscariot’]. According to Nollet, those Jewish Zealot assassins were calledSicarii. That would mean Judas was in this class of Jewish Zealots, a patriot. Recently, a hitherto unrecognised 5th Gospel, deliberately marginalised by the Church as blasphemous, has emerged for evaluation by modern Christian/biblical scholars’. The 5th Gospel was discovered in 1945 as part of the famous Nag Hammadi Library, which scrolls led to a re-evaluation of early Christian thinking. Read below for the full story of its discovery.

A fifth gospel challenges one of the basic Christian beliefs, writes Linda Morris.

In his own words: Judas the betrayer was really Judas the chosen one
IN DECEMBER 1945 an Arab peasant digging in the reaches of Upper Egypt stumbled on a red earthen jar containing 13 leather-bound papyrus books.
He was not to know it at the time, but his archaeological discovery - which came to be known as the Nag Hammadi Library - was to prompt a re-evaluation of early Christian thinking.
Nor could he have comprehended its role 60 years later in the modern publishing phenomenon that is The Da Vinci Code.
What he had unearthed was a collection of 50 texts thought to have been destroyed during the early struggle to define Christian orthodoxy. The crumbling manuscripts included the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip and the Gospel of Truth - scriptures denounced as heretical by the early church.
They were the works of a Christian sect that flourished in the second century, but whose beliefs survive today within some New Age sects.
Until this morning, the manuscripts were the limits of scholars' primary knowledge of the theology and beliefs of this long-dead sect. But overnight, with great hoopla, the National Geographic Society unveiled an ancient, 66-page Coptic manuscript, written by this group and dating from the third or fourth century.
It is said to contain the only known surviving copy of the Gospel of Judas, which challenges the portrayal of Judas as the reviled traitor, and suggests the disciple was acting under orders.
The society describes the find as one of the most important in biblical history, adding new understanding to the world's culture and history.
For academics, a new third-century Coptic manuscript was always going to be big news. "This is one more piece of evidence for the complexity of Christian thought in the second century, and for how long that view persisted," says Malcolm Choat, a research fellow in the Department of Ancient History at Macquarie University. "It further fills out a view of how multifaceted Christian belief was and provides further evidence of how that refracted in other countries, in other languages."
But, while the new text might prove a valuable addition to historical knowledge, many scholars believe it is not the document that will rewrite Christian teachings and change history. Like other gnostic texts, it is written too long after Christ's death to be considered entirely reliable.
The biblical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are not first-hand accounts, but most modern scholars believe they are the earliest oral accounts of Jesus, written down in Greek. Collectively, they are seen to illuminate the thinking on what a first generation of Christians believed His life to be and, from the writings of the hyperactive missionary Paul, the nature of the spread of Christianity.

Allan Massie identified John (the Apostle) as the one who was out to get Judas. John was not satisfied with Judas as a mere betrayer but went on to label him a thief. Massie quoted a Canadian scholar, Professor William Klassen of the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem, and Hyam Maccoby, author of Judas Iscariot and the Myth of Jewish Evil, as two who questioned the Church’s continuous stress on Judas as a betrayer. Massie suggested one reason for Judas falling out with Jesus was that he was a person who had a social conscience and was disturbed by Christ’s attitude in an incident, thus losing confidence in the ‘Messiah’. Massie also remarked: Klassen sees the demonisation of Judas gathering pace as the Christian sect moved away from its Jewish roots as a result of St Paul's mission to the Gentiles. Judas, then, in this Greek-speaking Church, became the stereotype of the treacherous Jew, rejecting and betraying Christ. Klassen traces the development of Judas' role from the earliest Gospel, Mark, to thefull-blown villainy presented in the last written Gospel, John. There might of course be another explanation. If that gospel really was written by the Apostle John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, or compiled by someone who had spoken with John, then it might even reflect a personal animus.
Hyam Maccoby goes further than Professor Klassen. In his opinion, the Judas story did not ‘spring from any actual event’ but was ‘dictated by mythological necessity. (FAKE NEWS???)
The 1700-year-old papyrus manuscript reveals what we have been inquiring all along of the unusual demonisation of Judas Iscariot by the Church. Judas was in fact under orders from Jesus when he ‘betrayed’ Jesus.
It was none other than the National Geographic Society who released key passages from the 3rd/4th Century Coptic manuscript that Judas ‘sold’ Jesus out as an act of obedience and not treachery, thereby fulfilling his theological destiny. The Church has been in an uproar, ranging from cool dismissal to outraged repudiation of the 5th Gospel. This was what the revealed Gospel, now tentatively named as the Gospel of Judas, has to show of some interaction between Jesus and Judas: In the first scene Jesus laughs at his disciples for praying to ‘your God’, referring to the gnostic notion of a lesser Old Testament God who created the world. The disciples turn away when Jesus challenges them to look at him and understand him. Judas is singled out several times for special status: "Step away from the others and I shall tell you the mysteries of the kingdom. It is possible for you to reach it, but you will grieve a great deal." In the key passage, Jesus tells Judas: "You will exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me." Jesus tells Judas: "You will be cursed by the other generations -and you will come to rule over them." Thus Judas Iscariot has been designated by Jesus Christ as theprimus inter pares of all his disciples. Judas Iscariot had been the Chosen One. But will the Church rehabilitate the name and loyalty of Judas Iscariot, and in the same process undermine one of its pillars of belief?
In other religious myths, a deity who brings salvation by his violent death has to have an evil betrayer. Judas was therefore elected as the fall-guy.’ The role, played on an individual level by Judas, is played also by the Jews as a whole. Making Judas guilty allowed the medieval Church to pretend neither Jesus nor the other apostles were Jewish.

There’s a Japanese Myth That Believes Jesus is Buried in Japan
Known by the name Daitenku Taro Jurai, the man is said to have married a farmer’s daughter named Miyuko, fathered three children and died at the age of 106. In the Christian world, he is more popularly known as Jesus Christ.
Today, the supposed tomb of Jesus Christ can be found in an actual burial mound with a large cross sticking out of the top atop a hill in Shingō. Right next to Jesus’ tomb is another mound which is reportedly where the ear of his younger brother and the Virgin Mary’s lock of hair were buried.
If the teachings of the Takenouchi Documents are to be believed, it was not Jesus of Nazareth who died on the cross at Calvary as the Christian bible stated, according to The Smithsonian.
The Other Christ Child - Japan
Based on the documents, it was his younger brother, Isukiri, who took his place on the cross, while Jesus fled across Siberia to Mutsu Province, in northern Japan. The story claimed that as he fled to Japan, Jesus took a lock of the Virgin Mary’s hair and one of his brother’s ears.
Discovered in 1936 but destroyed during World War II, the Takenouchi Documents were reportedly the work of popular cosmoarcheologist Wado Kosaka, reports Atlas Obscura. A reproduction of the documents is kept on display at the nearby Jesus museum.
The Village in Japan Where they Believe Jesus Died
The sign on the alleged tomb of Jesus reads:
“When Jesus Christ was 21 years old, he came to Japan and pursued knowledge of divinity for 12 years. He went back to Judea at age 33 and engaged in his mission. However, at that time, people in Judea would not accept Christ’s preaching. Instead, they arrested him and tried to crucify him on a cross. His younger brother, Isukiri casually took Christ’s place and ended his life on the cross.
Christ, who escaped the crucifixion, went through the ups and downs of travel, and again came to Japan. He settled right here in what is now called Herai Village and died at the age of 106.
On this holy ground, there is dedicated a burial mound on the right to deify Christ, and a grave on the left to deify Isukiri.
The above description was given in a testament by Jesus Christ.”
