Criticism

Critics have claimed that Christianity (including latter day saints) have missed a part regarding Jesus and Judas

Source(s) of the criticism

Response

The source for this claim would be a text called Gospel of Judas which was rediscovered in El Minya, Egypt, in the 1970s and was obtain by National Geographic. Already in distribution at the beginning of the second sentury A.D, Irenaues in 180 A.D condemn the Gospel of Judas as a Gnostic text. Recent publications of this text makes it clear that Irenaeus was correct. Most scholars have concluded that this text was certainly a late forgery .[1]
