I have been enjoying (bit by bit - I may add)  your lengthy response to Joe.
There is a lot to think about.
There is a poetic quality in the juxtaposition of II Sam and 
Gethsemane which I find appealing.

Regarding the historicity of Judas, I am very interested in what you 
might have to say, as that is still an open question for me.

However, in my post of 3/15, the point I was really trying to make 
was not historical. My point was not about whether Judas did or did 
not actually live (although, as I said, that is an interesting 
question). My point was that in my assessment Judas did not 
"represent" for Mark Judea, but that he "represented" the disciples.

I would also be interested in your input.
