There shall come an anti-christ and he shall speak words of blasphemy. Prophesy fulfilled but woe to him that makes himself the instru ment of the devil.

Archer knows which way to butter the toast. If he can exonerate Judas from being a traitor to most faithful disciple of Jesus, and notching up the ante by claiming that Judas wrote the Gospels. Than the whole media in west will stand up in his praise as the best writer of the millenium. Just wait and see, he will be called the next Einstein.

I thought that Constantine a roman emperor and the first Pope put together the first bible.
Is Father Moloney now saying that what Constantine put together was a lie?
Isn't Father Moloney bringing the bible into disrepute and why would he do that?
Don't catholics believe that the bible is the Word of God? So why would God allow lies to be put together?
I am a born-again christian and find all this fascinating!
I can imagine all too well that Constantine manipulated some aspects to attract the poplace to the New Roman Empire -the catholic church.
Surely that would have been sifted out when King James appointed about 60 bible scholars to re-write the bible using the original greek and hebrew. Or is Father Moloney saying that those highly accredited bible scholars are wrong too?
I don't think that the bible can be understood reading the words alone, you need your conscience and prayer to the Lord Jesus himself too. Have Lord Archer and F Moloney prayed about this?

If Professor Moloney doesn't believe that the Bible's account of these three miracles is accurate then how can he believe anything else in it, or how can he consider himself a christian. Also, as a top "theological" adviser to the Pope, what does this say about the Pope's beliefs on the veracity of the bible as a whole.

A christian chooses to believe the bible and everything in it otherwise he cannot really be deemed to be a christian. Moloney's pick-and-choose attitude towards the accounts in the bible doesn't distinguish him from the muslim who believes the bible where it does not contradict the Quaran or the atheist who might accept that there are some good principles contained within it. He cannot have it both ways, and it is this very duplicity within certain "christian" circles which has weakened the church because it has not given a consistent message.

Here we go again. The Roman church, already responsible for confusion about the true identity of Jesus though the idea of a Trinity, are seeking to make Him look like an ordinary man. The truth is that He is God become man. Therefore, the idea that He was not capable of full mastery over nature is nonsence. It also doesn't acknowledge the miracles that we see today through the ministry of true Christians, made possible by the work of the Holy Sprit sent by Jesus. Jesus fulfilled a shed load of prophesies and fully deserves the title of 'Lord over all'.

Is this an autobiography?

I cannot help but notice that this so called gospel is the work of a "convicted perjurer" and someone called Moloney, or should that be Boloney? Surely the launch date should be April 1st

The problem of "authorship" of the Gospels is highlighted by the use of the preposition "kata" in the original Greek, normally translated as "according to" in English, which then gives us "The Gospel according to Matthew/Mark" etc.

This usage is distinct from the normal designation for authorship in classical Greek literature, which consists simply of the genitive case of the author's name - e.g. "The Iliad, of Homer", "The Trojan Women, of Euripides", i.e.the equivalent of "by Homer", or "by Euripides" in English.

Why, then, was the authorship of the Gospels indicated in Greek by the preposition "kata", which is traditionally translated as "according to" in English? The most logical explanation is that it represents the eventual committal to writing of an oral "school" of instruction, originated by the Apostle in question, and practised by his team of preachers. If so, it would be questionable for there to be a "Gospel according to Judas" without such a team of preachers.

Lord Archer should look up the word simony in the dictionary and reflect on whether he may be tainted by such allusion. Of course, he could alway redeem himself by offering the royalties to a charity at arm's length distance from him.
