I preached on Judas. Then I realized Paul doesn't know about him 😳 (C. J. Cornthwaite on YouTube)

Did the Apostle Paul know about Judas Iscariot? The evidence suggests he didn't.

In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul says Jesus appeared to "the Twelve" - but according to the Gospels, Judas was already dead. And that famous verse about Jesus being "betrayed"? The Greek word παραδίδωμι (paradidomi) doesn't actually mean betrayal.

In this video, I examine:
  • Why Paul says "the Twelve" when there should only be 11
  • What παραδίδωμι actually means in Paul's letters
  • How Paul uses this word elsewhere (Romans 8:32, Galatians 2:20)
  • Why this suggests the Judas tradition came LATER
