"Today Is The 4th Day Of April In The Year Of Our Lord 2012."

"It Is Now Post Time."
We're Off....Devil begone...In comes Holy Week, and Miss April is showing some beauty today..Today being Spy Wednesday, I gotta try and figure out what was on the mind of Judas...Now Judas, being one of Christ's trusted disciples, new about the revolutionary teachings of this man that he was following..In my convoluted theories on Christianity, everybody that heard Christ, or heard about him also knew that he was preaching against just about everything that the Jews believed in.. He was also calling himself the Messiah, or Savior. The hierarchy of the ruling Jewish regime at that time was known as the Pharisees, they were like modern day Mullahs, and they were in fear of Christ's teachings because a  lot of their followers had bought into his preaching and line of thinking..All of these early Christians were under scrutiny from the ruling class.. The ruling demigods of the Jewish Religion wanted Christ dead, that may be drastic but that is the only choice they thought they had. The main charge they were going to bring against him was the fact that he was a blasphemer, because of his proclamations about being the Son Of God, to them this one fact alone could bring him down..The Jews needed a fall guy, they needed a guy close enough to him to tell them and the Romans (who could really have cared less, as there were many  people in those days that were preaching religious fanaticism), exactly what he was about, as they did not understand him and still don't..Judas was their guy, not a whole lot is known about Judas except for the fact that he supposedly performed the first kiss of death, and took thirty pieces of silver, gave up Christ, and then hung himself..Thirty pieces of silver seems like a pretty low sum for turning in a friend for any kind of charge let alone one that the Jews could carry to the Romans and demand the death penalty.. As we all know the days that followed are the days that all of Christianity is based on, Holy Thursday (The First Mass) Good Friday (The Death Of Jesus), Holy Saturday (The Body In The Tomb) Easter Sunday (The Resurrection Of Christ)....As Christians we all should know that without the belief of the risen Christ, there is no Christianity, this is the main fact that determines that he truly was God...If you are a practicing Christian the events that transpired on this week 2012 years ago is what your religion is based on...Whatever you believe is you business, and is personal to you..I believe in many different facets of the life of Christ, and I do believe he was God...once again that is personal..As for Judas, kinda knowing the way Christ was, I believe he forgave him.. I believe he had already accepted his fate, and had too know that this was going to happen..I have to believe that a man that taught, turn the other cheek, and forgiveness, would have to forgive a friend that betrayed him, because if not, he would be going against his own teachings...I still don't envy the part that Judas had in the outcome of these events...Pretty nasty role he played...I would like to think back at this time and say, Judas was also a priest, because he was at the Last Supper..Interesting material Christianity, it has been discussed, torn apart into thousands of different sects, killed millions of people, started various religions and has had billions of followers over the years, all coming from a man that only preached for three years, was crucified died and was buried, but the caveat is,  true Christians believe he rose on the third day... AMAZING!!!
