Occult Art : Visions of Gnosis

Buried Heresies

"A newly translated Gnostic gospel, entitled The Secret Book of Judas of Kerioth, promises to blow more fuses than Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Last Temptation of Christ put together. According to this seemingly authentic early Cainite-Ophite text, translated from the Coptic by Mohammed al-Murtada and Francis Bendik, Jesus had an active bisexual love life, including relations with John, Lazarus and Mary Magdelene, served an LSD-like psychedelic at the Last Supper, faked his own crucifixion in collaboration with Judas and Joseph of Arimathea [as in the Koranic account] and died a natural death in India many years after the alleged Resurrection.

Worse: the Old Testament god, as described by Jesus, appears as an evil demiurge who perverted the creation begun by the true Creator. This very interesting text was found in 1986 near the Nag Hammadi library, and has an introduction and annotations by Dr. Maxwell Selander of Briggs- Melton Theological Seminary."
