We are all brothers and sisters, according to Jesus. That is spiritually, but not biologically in the physical sense.

But yes, Judas was the betrayer of Jesus. His name in Greek meant "betrayer". He was then replaced with
God allows this because it needed to be, as what he did allowed Jesus to be crucified and His blood shed for our sins.
Judas Iscariot, was the betrayer of Jesus and one of the twelve apostles (Matthew 10:4);
He was son of James, another one of the twelve apostles (Luke 6:16);
Judas was referred to Jesus' brother in Matthew 13:55;
Luke 6:16 says Judas “became a traitor”. The New Testament uses the term “traitor” of Judas and of evil people in the End Times (2 Timothy 3:4). The term “to betray” (prodivdwmi) literally means “to give over,” and the New Testament uses it several ways including “to deliver over treacherously by way of betrayal” (Matthew 17:22; 26:16; John 6:64).

He then was said to have been demon possessed (Luke 22:3 "Then Satan entered Judas" and John 13:27 "As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him."
Judas' spot as the 12th discipleship was later replaced with Matthias (whose name means "replacement".

And do not believe the newest craze, the Lost Gospel of Judas, because it is all heresay and nothing can be backed up/proven in any form. Much of the Bible, however, can be, and has been by medical, archeological, historical, religious and scientific experts.
One last thing, Jesus prayed for Peter when he denied Christ 3x, but He did not pray for Judas. He only told Judas to be quick about what he had decided to do (betray Jesus) and then Judas did with the "betrayal kiss".
Judas had crossed a line in the spirit realm that Peter hadn't crossed, which opened Judas to demon possession.

Hope that helped?

No there were two Judases that followed Jesus, and He also had a brother named Judas. It was a popular name of the time.

No, Judas was not a son of Mary and Joseph.
Jesus did have a brother named Thomas though.

The bible says we are all god's children.

With that being said, Jesus was god's son. We are all, including Judas, of course, siblings of Jesus.

Jesus brothers are half brother because Jesus was an immaculate conception therefore makes MARY'S following births from the flesh and from man's seed.

No way that they were brothers. Such a relationship would have been mentioned by those who knew them both if they had been siblings. We know that Jesus did have a half-brother, James, because people knew them both. They shared the same mother, but different fathers. I am sure you can name both dads.
