Comments on: The Gospel of Judas http://poliblogger.com/?p=9707 A rough draft of my thoughts...

But Seth rather than Cain is mentioned in the newly published Gospel of Judas. Are these two Gospels of Judas one and the same? A third century work ascribed to Tertullian, AGAINST ALL HERESIES, also attributes the Gospel of Judas to the gnostic followers of Cain. Is this the same Gospel of Judas? Are the Sethite gnostics really the same as the Cainite gnostics as the editors of this book published by National Geographic (2006) would have us believe? I am doubtful. So there is insufficent information in either of these accounts by the orthodox church fathers to be certain. Therefore, I am sceptical, at this time, of ascribing a second century date to The newly published Gospel of Judas ascribed to the Sethites merely because a (familiar yet nonextant) Gospel of Judas acribed to the Cainites is mentioned and denounced by Irenaeus (180).
