The of Judas have always been a topic of interest and debate among Christians. Who were these apostles and what was their role in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ? To answer these questions, we must first understand the story of Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus.

Judas was a trusted disciple of Jesus, chosen to be one of the twelve apostles. He was known for his administrative skills and was tasked with the responsibility of managing the money for the group. However, Judas betrayed Jesus by leading the Roman soldiers to him and ultimately leading to his crucifixion.

After Judas’ treacherous act, he felt remorseful and tried to give the money back to the priests. However, they refused to accept it, and Judas hung himself. The apostles were left to carry on the work of spreading the gospel without Judas.

Following the betrayal of Judas, the remaining eleven apostles decided to choose another disciple to take the place of Judas. Two men were nominated, Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias, and the apostles prayed to God to help them choose the right person. Matthias was chosen by lot, and he was counted among the twelve apostles in the book of Acts.

While Matthias was chosen to replace Judas, some people believe that he was not the only apostle of Judas. The Gospel of Judas, a Gnostic text, suggests that Judas was not a traitor but instead a disciple who was following Jesus’ orders by betraying him. The text also suggests that Judas had a secret teaching that he was passing down to his followers and that these followers became the true apostles of Judas.

The idea of a secret teaching passed down from Judas is in contrast with the teachings of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus. The twelve apostles were chosen for their faith in God and their understanding of Jesus’ teachings. They were witnesses to his miracles, his teachings, and his resurrection, and they spread his gospel throughout the world.

The apostles of Judas, if they existed, would have been seen as apostates by the early Christian church. The teachings of any other apostle who was not chosen by Jesus, but instead, followed another apostle, would not have been seen as valid, as they would not have the authority of Jesus’ chosen disciples.

Today, the idea of the apostles of Judas is still a subject of theological debate. Some people believe that there were followers of Judas who continued to spread his teachings, while others believe that Judas was a traitor and any of his followers would have been seen as apostates.

Regardless of the debate, the work of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus remains the foundation of Christianity. The teachings and revelations received by the apostles from Jesus are the basis for Christian beliefs and practices, and they continue to inspire and guide Christians around the world.

In conclusion, the apostles of Judas remain a subject of debate and mystery within Christianity. While the idea of followers of Judas may exist, their teachings would not have the authority of those chosen by Jesus. The work of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus remains the foundation of Christianity, and their teachings continue to inspire and guide Christians around the world.
