In 0, on this day the lesser creator God Nebro set Adamas into human flesh trapped inside the boundaries of the flawed little world called Earth.
Good News according to JudasTwo steps removed from the imperishable realm of divinity, the first man was misdirected by sense. And without the necessary leadership, he was utterly incapable of returning to the heavenly home. Lost in a terrifying reality, millennia passed before the Great Spirit El chose to intevene and show humanity how to set itself free.
El sent a teacher, an agent of the purpose. Only one man was great enough to grasp the whole message, and he was directed to release the teacher from the human flesh (pictured). But the sincerity of his actions were twisted by knaves. His testimony was secreted in a cave for thousands of years before the ultimate truth was finally revealed to the rest of humanity.

Editor says, in the 1970s the Codex Tchacos was discovered near Beni Masah in Egypt, a manuscript which contains the Gospel according to Judas. Wikipedia reports ~ The Gospel of Judas consists of 16 chapters which document Jesus's teaching about spiritual matters and cosmology. Judas is the hero of this Gospel and the only one of Jesus's disciples who accurately understands the words of his master. This Gospel contains few narrative elements; essentially, the Gospel records how Judas was taught by Jesus the true meaning of his message, and was then stoned to death by the other disciples.
~ Intriguing. Not alternate history. But,thought provoking.
~ Deep stuff! The question is, why would he have initially taken the 30 pieces of silver to do it? Or was that part of the Mysteries and ruse?
~ Wow. And that is probbly the truth.
~ Wasn't the "Gospel of Judas" debunked decades ago?
~ Not partial to this sort of thing in general, but read as an "alternate Gospel" rather than literally as alternate history it's the sort of thing one could imagine a Jewish or Christian heretic comiing up with.
~ The religion based on this would be weird...
