Political debate in ancient Persia

 Political debate in ancient Persia were twice: once all the participants were drunk, and the second - sober

The Persians loved discuss their policies with each other in a drunken state - the phenomenon was quite common , and the debate did not stop until all participants fully express their opinion .
After such a policy discussion often returned to the same theme for a second time when the parties are sober up , to make sure that the discussion remained the same , and alcohol did not affect them . If the results are not changed, then the Persians recognize a good idea and proceeded to perform the procedure .
For example, when the Persians were planning to go to war , we discussed the pros and cons of such an enterprise in a drunken state . If they are drunk decided that war is necessary , then discussed about the same sober , and if the decision seemed reasonable to them , then began to fight. If sober , they solved that war is not necessary, do not get involved in the war and blamed the previous short-sighted judgment of alcohol.

In the writings of St. John Chrysostom is mention of the fact that Judas along with the other apostles performed miracles : raising the dead , healing the sick , but later "lost kingdom of heaven ," the Lord hath delivered .
In the Bible, there is some information about the childhood of Judas , his parents abandoned the child in the sea at Redeemer Cathedral , as it was revealed to the dream that her son would be their undoing .

After repentance and penance Lord has forgiven the sins of Judah , and he became one of the 12 apostles of Christ.
Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver - that's the same amount it received from the chief priests . After Jesus was sentenced to death by crucifixion , Judas repented of his actions and tried to return the coins back , but the priests told him that his remorse to them do not care . Then Judas threw the coins in the temple and killed himself - had hanged himself . Fun fact : it is believed that the tree on which Judas hanged himself , was aspen, and that's because in many works of fiction vampire can stop stabbing him in the heart of it is a wooden stake .
You can not say with certainty whether there was in fact Judas . However, the same can not be said about the rest of the apostles , and of all the people in the Bible . However, in 1978, was found in Egypt so-called "Gospel of Judas" , supposedly written by him. It Judas Iscariot is presented as the only disciple of Christ , to whom he opened the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven . Nevertheless , the Christian church does not recognize the genuine document , and in the list of the canonical gospels , he is not included.

The symbol "@"
