Judas was no Traitor: Says New Gospel

Can History be changed? A history that is as old as 2000+ years and is firmly rooted in the mind and hearts of people? Not only as History, but as a religious belief? Well, expect the unexpected.

The dictionary describes 'Judas' as a betrayer.

New evidence says, there was a Gospel of Judas, and according to it, he was not the villain he has been made out to be.

Proofs for Gospel of Judas, the fifth and the new addition to those of Matthew, Luke, Mark and John has been unearthed and authenticated by a group of experts.
