ellauri067.html on line 307: William develops heretical religious ideas, and he writes "a long tract about it ... called On Preterition." In some Protestant doctrines, Christians are divided into "the elect," those chosen by God, and "the preterite," those not chosen, passed over by God. William champions the preterite, and he argues Judas is the savior of the preterite. The narrator then wonders if William´s ideas were "the fork in the road America never took."
ellauri109.html on line 515: A fiction writer’s life is his treasure, his ore, his savings account, his jungle gym,” Updike wrote. “As long as I am alive, I don’t want somebody else playing on my jungle gym—disturbing my children, quizzing my ex-wife, bugging my present wife, seeking for Judases among my friends, rummaging through yellowing old clippings, quoting in extenso bad reviews I would rather forget, and getting everything slightly wrong.”
ellauri146.html on line 296: Der zweite Gesang schildert Satans dunkle Gegenwelt mit ihren Dämonen. Sie kämpfen um die Seelen der Menschen, die oft wie von übernatürlichen Kräften geführte entindividualisierte Wiesel erscheinen. Die Verführung zum Bösen wird sowohl an Engels als auch Marx demonstriert: z. B. an dem in Sünde gefallenen, reuigen Abba-Band, der sich im Lauf der Handlung immer wieder dem leidenden Jesus und göttlichen Bezirk zu nähern sucht (v. a. 2., 5., 9. Gesang), oder an der Judas-Geschichte, wo Judas die hart verdienten 20 Kodons auf den Boden warf.

Lucas played the role of Judas as a gay predator.
ellauri188.html on line 420: Right before the play was to open, Lucas was mugged and beaten "on his way to the theater" for "dress rehearsal". He played the role of Judas with bloody bandages across his broken nose and black eyes. The audience thought the bandages were part of the play.

How do Jewish people view Judas?


ellauri334.html on line 263: What I think many Christians fail to understand is how irrelevant to Judaism the Christian books and beliefs are. We dn’t have a view about Judas, he is never discussed, there are no discussions about him in Jewish sources. He is completely irrelevant as are the rest of the figures from Christian books. So, you may find some Jews who have formed their personal opinion about him, but there is no comments or view on him from Jewish sources since he is irrelevant and not a subject of discussion for us.
ellauri334.html on line 266: As Tom Isaacs already mentioned, Bart Ehrman has suggested that perhaps what Judas betrayed was not where Jesus was (why would they need him for that?), but rather what Jesus was saying about himself. To flesh this out just a little:
ellauri334.html on line 270: Related questions: Why all the hate for Judas Iscariot? Without him there is no end to the story, no last supper (it's just another boys night out), no dying for our sins, no resurrection. He is vital to the prophesy.What is your opinion of members of the Jewish faith as people?
ellauri334.html on line 271: Why did the Jews need Judas in order to capture Jesus? Is the name Judas related to the words 'Jew' and 'Judaism?
ellauri334.html on line 275: Judas seems to have a different root after I did a quick search, but I’m not sure tbh.
ellauri334.html on line 282:
Where, today, is Judas Iscariot and why do you think that’s where he is?

ellauri334.html on line 287:
So how DO Jewish people view Judas?

ellauri334.html on line 289: Judas Iscariot has the same irrelevance for Jews as any other New Testament figure.
ellauri334.html on line 294: That’s like asking are Chickens ducks. Well they belong to the same family but one is a duck and one is a chicken. In terms of people, you can be a Christian and you can be a Jew but they are both human. But was Judas Jesus’ best friend who carried the lot for Jesus to be who he became to be?
ellauri334.html on line 297: Judas doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Without Judas there’s no betrayal. Without the betrayal there’s no Passion. Without the Passion there’s no crucifixion. Without the crucifixion there’s no resurrection. And without the resurrection there’s no hope. I’m grateful for Judas.
ellauri334.html on line 298: And in the gospel of Judas, non canonical of course, are two words you won’t find in the canonical or apocryphal Bibles “Jesus laughed.” I may be alone, but I like to picture Jesus laughing on the cross. And his fellow felon whistling a merry tune. All three hanging singing in unison. I’m sure He needs to from time to time.
ellauri334.html on line 300:
Was Judas Iscariot a Greek or Sodomite?

ellauri334.html on line 304: Trick question. Judas Iscariot was neither a Greek nor Sodomite.
ellauri334.html on line 305: Like all of Jesus’ original disciples, Judas Iscariot was a Hebrew man, a Jew.
ellauri334.html on line 307: “Judas” is simply a Greek version of “Judah” or “Yehuda”. Judah was the largest tribe of Israel and calling a Jewish man by the name of Judah or Judas was common in Israel. How many Greek Men would be name… (more)
ellauri334.html on line 309:
Was Judas Iscariot a Jewish hero?

ellauri334.html on line 315:
But WAS Judas a Christian?

ellauri334.html on line 318: The first “Christians” were the converted Gentiles in Antioch, the original disciples and followers of Jesus (including Judas) were referred to as Nazarenes. It is significant that the original Nazarenes were persecuted into extinction (or “fled into the wilderness,” as John the Revelator seen in a vision). The Gentile, or Christian church, systematically eliminated any Jewish belief or practice originating with the Nazarenes and created an orthodox theology based on Greek philosophy by the third century. It was beginning of the Times of the Gentiles.
ellauri334.html on line 320: Yes he was, but betrayed Christ, He followed Christ every where until Garden of Gethsemane,a perfect example of a Christian who betrayed Christ add moved away from him. I am not sure he really followed Jesus like Peter and other, they really believed Jesus was son of God. But Judas was a rebel Jew, who want literal fight against Roman government. There might be a Chance Judas never understood the concept of “Kingdom of God”.
ellauri334.html on line 323:
Did the Gospel writers choose the name 'Judas' Iscariot as the traitor deliberately, because Judaism and the name Judah had the same etymology and they wanted people to hate Jews?

ellauri334.html on line 326: First of all, the writers did not “create” names for the people that interacted with them and the Christ. So the suggestion that the use of the name “Judas” was designed to develop hatred for Jews, is bogus.
ellauri334.html on line 327: Second, one of the other apostles was also named “Judas”. To differentiate the 2, “Judas Iscariot” was because his father was called “Iscariot”. Why? It is understood that they were from the Judean town of Kerioth-hezon. The other “Judas” was referred to as “son of James”. He was also known as Thaddaeus. The name was changed because nobody liked to be called Jew anymore.
ellauri334.html on line 329:
OK. Stop prevaricating. How DO Jewish people view Judas?

ellauri334.html on line 332: I don't know that religious Jews have a particular take on Judas. I personally prefer his Gospel over the others. Jesus laughing and being child like seems more honest. The seriousness of Jesus is a production of the church.
ellauri334.html on line 333: I cannot say I know a whole lot about Judas Iscariot besides the general story about him betraying Jesus to the Roman authorities, but one thing I MUST say - Judaism has NOTHING to do with Judas Iscariot. I had more than one person ask me “Why do you guys follow Judas?? Surely he was a bad person!”. This would be funny but when I think about how many Jews were actually killed or oppressed because of things like this - it’s not funny at all.
ellauri334.html on line 337: I am Jewish…..I have always viewed Judas as the purist of adherers to Jesus….He got a bum steer and killed himself when he revealed that Jesus would be in the garden of gesthemene where he could be captured. Judas stuck to the teachings of Jesus….Jesus got very heady being a Leader, as Judas saw it..
ellauri334.html on line 341: Most Jewish people do not think about Jesus of Judas or other New Testament figures. In fact they pretty much have completely ignored them for the two thousand years since the New Testament was written. If you ask them about Judas they would say some version of “no opinion.”
ellauri334.html on line 346: Why all the hate for Judas Iscariot? Without him there is no end to the story, no last supper (it's just another boys night out), no dying for our sins, no resurrection. He is vital to the prophesy.
ellauri334.html on line 348: Why did the Jews need Judas in order to capture Jesus?
ellauri334.html on line 350: Was Judas Iscariot (Apostle of Jesus) a turncloak or an unsung hero?
ellauri334.html on line 351: Who was Judas Iscariot?
ellauri334.html on line 352: Is the name Judas related to the words 'Jew' and 'Judaism?
ellauri334.html on line 353: Why did Jewish priests pay 30 silver pieces to Judas simply to identify Jesus?
ellauri334.html on line 354: What race was Judas in the Bible? Was he black?
ellauri334.html on line 357: Why did Judas have to identify Jesus to his captors whereas they know him?
ellauri334.html on line 360: Can black people be Jewish? Do black people hate Judas?
ellauri392.html on line 344: That Judas perished by hanging himself, there is no certainty in Scripture: though in one place it seems to affirm it, and by a doubtful word hath given occasion to translate it; yet in another place, in a more punctual description, it maketh it improbable, and seems to overthrow it. (“Literature” 71)
ellauri411.html on line 106: Als Syrisch-Ephraimitischer Krieg wird ein um 733 v.

ellauri432.html on line 497: Many scholars have accepted the view that the imagery of Daniel 7 comes ultimately from the Canaanite myth of Baʿal's battle with Yamm (lit. "Sea"), symbolic of chaos. Although no exact prototype for the imagery exists, there are a number of parallels with the extant myth. The four beasts are chaos monsters which appeared as serpents in the Baʿal Cycle discovered in the ruins of Ugarit in the 1920s. In Daniel 7, composed sometime before Judas Maccabeus purified the temple in 164 BC, they symbolise Babylon, the Medes, Persia and Greece.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 361: According to the Anglo-Saxons, the film centers on the conflict between Judas and Jesus during the week of the crucifixion of Jesus. Needless to say, Neeley, Anderson, and Elliman were nominated for Golden Globe Awards in 1974 for their portrayals of Jesus, Judas, and Mary Magdalene, respectively. It attracted criticism from a few religious groups and received mixed reviews from critics.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 375: Tim Rice said Jesus was seen through Judas' eyes as a mere human being. Some Christians found this remark, as well as the fact that the musical did not show the resurrection, to be blasphemous. Jesus var ingen Spartakus, för helvete. While the actual resurrection was not shown, the closing scene of the movie subtly alludes to the resurrection (though, according to Jewison's commentary on the DVD release, the scene was not planned this way). Some found Judas too sympathetic; in the film, it states that he wants to give the thirty pieces of silver to the poor, which, although Biblical, leaves out his ulterior motives. According to the black policeman in Whitstaple Pearl, ulterior motives usually means sex. The policeman is as talkative as John, and the detective cook lady looks a lot like Kirsi Riski. Not a comfortable thought.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 382: Jesus Christ Superstar is a Rock Opera and (subverted?) Passion Play by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Originally released as a Concept Album in 1970 (when Lloyd Webber and Rice were still in their very early twenties, no less!), it made its way to the Broadway and London stage in 1971, and was adapted into a film directed by Norman Jewison in 1973. An updated version was recorded sometime around 2000 by Webber's Really Useful Group for PBS. A filmed version of the UK arena tour starring Tom Munchin as Judas was released on DVD and digital in 2012, and a live adaptation starring John Lennon as Jesus, Sara Bareilles as Mary Magdalene and Alice Cooper as Herod that aired on NBC in 2018. The show lives on in stage productions and tours (and even non-theatrical tribute albums from fans who were more attracted to it as an album than a show) to this day. Inspired by… The Four Gospels of The Bible (specifically the arrival in Jerusalem and subsequent crucifixion of Jesus), it chronicles the last seven days of Jesus' life, focusing mainly on the characters of Jesus, Judas and Mary Magdalene. It's regarded among Andrew Lloyd Webber's best works, which is not saying much. It's a pseudo-sequel to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, though this took a bit more liberty with the source material and is considerably less playful.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 384: Alternative Character Interpretation: You are supposed to sympathize with Judas.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 387: If he's willingly betraying Jesus, or God is manipulating him, perhaps doing More Than Mind Control. After all, during "Damned For All Time," Judas keeps singing, "I really didn't come here of my own accord." Maybe it's that God had to offer a little bit of persuasion to have his death.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 390: A similar impression is given in the Bible. Tatu Vaaskivi argues on similar lines in his unforgettable Pyhä kevät. That or not wanting to be bossed around. Many, many adaptations have been made over the centuries, in which Judas, Pilate, and/or the Jews have been blamed to a greater or lesser, sometimes very extreme degree.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 392: In the 2000 film, Jesus comes off more than a little selfish in response to Judas in his early scenes, when Judas is protesting Mary's spending money on expensive foot ointments instead of the poor:

xxx/ellauri149.html on line 395: Mary Magdalene (whose characterization as a former prostitute is Alternative Character Interpretation all by itself) gets scenes that show her to be spiritual and in tune with Jesus' message. However, seen through Judas' eyes, she comes off as a Yes-Woman constantly telling Jesus that "everything's alright" rather than confronting him about the building problems, as Judas tries to do.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 397: On a different note, whether or not Christ is actually divine is ambiguous. There is evidence both for (his prophecy to Peter and Judas) and against (Jesus running from the lepers instead of healing them, and his prayers in Gethsemane) in the music, and it is typically left to the individual production to sort it out, usually in Judas' "Jesus Christ Superstar" number and after Jesus' death, where some productions will throw in a hint that he was resurrected later.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 426: Since the focal point of the play is the relationship between Jesus and Judas, some degree of Ho Yay was inevitable. But this degree? ...
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 430: Judas is extremely bothered by Jesus's tolerance for letting Mary Magdalene "kiss you and stroke your hair" and consistently picks fights with her when they're both onstage. Thematically, his problem with Mary is that she represents the degradation he perceives Christ as having fallen into, but it's easy to read jealousy into the dynamic.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 432: In most productions, Judas's ultimate decision to betray Jesus is immediately preceded by him seeing Jesus and Mary go off together.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 433: Sure, it's biblical, but Judas betraying Christ by kissing him ... I mean.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 435: Arguably the strongest moment: when he is at absolute rock bottom, right before his suicide, Judas breaks into a reprise of Mary's "I Don't Know How to Love Him." When Mary sings it, it's implicitly about romantic love. And while Judas's version stops before "And I've had so many men before," it concludes with the anguished cry, "Does he love me, too? Does he care for me?"
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 437: The 1973 film has an emotionally charged moment during Everything's Alright, with Jesus gently lifting Judas' chin, the two gripping each other's shoulders, and their arms slowly slipping away from each other, until they clasp hands and have several seconds of intense eye contact.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 443: To compare: in the 1973 version Judas's kiss of betrayal is Judas sneaking up from behind, giving Jesus a very quick light peck on the cheek. In the 2000 version, the two are looking each other directly in the eyes while crying. Then Judas gives him a deep, long, smooch and Jesus responds by briefly wrapping his arms around him before Judas pushes him off.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 445: In the 2000 version of "Heaven on Their Minds", Judas pleads to Jesus while they are alone together, with lots of Judas getting into Jesus's personal space, and hesitant, delicate touches to Jesus's bare skin. Compare the 1973 version of "Heaven on Their Minds" which has Judas overlooking the group from a distance and talking to himself.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 448: Judas and Mary are explicitly paralleled through their matching costumes — red shirt/dress with black sleeves/jacket.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 449: Judas is especially Ambiguously Gay in the 2012 arena tour, due in large part to Judas actor Tom Munchin's camp stage persona. And guyliner.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 451: Some of the looks exchanged between Munchin's Judas and Ben Forster's Jesus (or even just glances in the general direction of the other character) could easily be classed as 'longing'.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 452: During "The Last Supper," where Jesus and Judas get up in each other's faces and slap each other around, some of the apostles genuinely look as though they're watching a couple have a screaming row.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 455: It starts with Judas singing "Heaven on their Minds" to a sleeping Jesus with lots of longing looks and lingering touches.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 456: The kiss with which Judas betrays Jesus is a full-on The Big Damn Kiss: no cheek or forehead kissing here! (The kiss is immediately followed by a hug with the two of them clinging to each other, and Judas looks absolutely devestated to be doing what he's doing as he holds Jesus.)
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 458: Judas walks in on Jesus and Mary holding each other right after "I Don't Know How to Love Him", and, angered by it, flings them from the swing they're sitting on, helps Jesus up, and grabs his face as if he's trying to pull him in for a kiss. Jesus throws him off and a crushed Judas runs offstage leading into "Damned For All Time", leaving one with the implication that Jesus's rejection is a key factor in Judas's decision to betray him.
xxx/ellauri215.html on line 137: “A fiction writer’s life is his treasure, his ore, his savings account, his jungle gym,” he wrote. “As long as I am alive, I don’t want somebody else playing on my jungle gym—disturbing my aborted children, quizzing my ex-wife, bugging my present wife, seeking for Judases among my friends, rummaging through yellowing old clippings, quoting in extenso bad reviews I would rather forget, and getting everything slightly wrong.”
xxx/ellauri229.html on line 746: Tyutchev was a militant Pan-Slavist like Dostoyevsky, who never needed a particular reason to berate the Western powers, Vatican, Ottoman Empire or Poland, the latter perceived by him as a Judas in the Slavic fold. The failure of the Crimean War made him look critically at the Russian government as well.
xxx/ellauri440.html on line 149: Why do some Christians not like Jesus Christ Superstar? It is NOT Christian. It challenges Scripture by trying to explain away the motivation of Judas in acceptable terms. Rather than accept God at His Word. Many other subplots like Mary loving Jesus in confused ways. And, like mentioned it ends at the crucifixion, minus the curtain being torn. Pope Paul VI praised the film and suggested it would bring more people to Christianity.
xxx/ellauri440.html on line 151: Jesus Christ Superstar was controversial because the portrayal of Jesus as having moments of doubt, the focus on Judas Iscariot, and the implied romantic relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene upset many Christians. Why did Jesus Christ Superstar not include the Resurrection? Simple. Tim Rice, the lyricist, does not believe Jesus was the Son of God. Rice said, “We approached the opera from the point of view of Christ the man, rather than Christ the God. Rice and Lloyd Webber were in their 20s when they wrote Jesus Christ Superstar. How is Andrew Lloyd Webber so rich? Real estate investments: Aside from his musical career, Webber sources income from profitable investments in the real estate world. The prolific British composer behind "Cats," "Phantom of the Opera," and "Jesus Christ Superstar," built a billion-dollar fortune off blockbuster musicals. But Sir Paul McCartney was the richest musician in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2022.
xxx/ellauri440.html on line 169: Why did Judas betray Jesus? The only motive shown in scripture is greed, but the gospels also say that Judas was possessed by Satan, and had to act as he did to fulfil prophecies. Judas was a disillusioned disciple betraying Jesus not so much because he loved money, but because he loved his country and thought Jesus had failed it. Why Jesus didn't forgive Judas? Although Judas regrets his betrayal, his subsequent actions suggest he believed his sin was too great for God to forgive, so he didn't ask for forgiveness. If he had trusted that God's mercy is greater than even his sin and repented, he would have been forgiven.
xxx/ellauri440.html on line 218: Näst blir det hippa, makeup, sprit och cigaretter. Och alldeles onödig pernament. Gunnel var mycket känslig till vad folk tyckte och tänkte om henne. Hon kände sig som Judas Iskariot. Herrarna tycker att Gunnel är omodern, hon låter inte kännas under kjolen. Hon var liksom Leila Taiminen (1954) från Immen-Kalvola. Leilalla oli hyvä rajan taju, se ei päästänyt vesirajaan ilman papin aamenta. Varför vill unga män tafsa oss? Är dom slavar av sina begär? Somliga är födda med starkare fördrifter än andra.
