Was Judas obeying god when he betrayed Jesus?

Question

And isn't it too much of a coincidence that his name means "Jew" if he was a real historic figure?

Answer 1

while i find your anti semetic reference dispicable and disgusting i tell you jesus told peter satan get behind me when peter said no this wont happen, but then jesus did say that judas the betrayer would wish he wasnt born

in the gospel of judas it is said he was asked to do it,

so i think its a combination of mythology and legend,

he was betrayed, and if the jesus was god he knew this would happen, so, in order for it all to happen the judas had to play his role
we all play our role

please tell me yours isnt anti semitism

Answer 2

Good question, I believe that Judas was a part of the plan that God had in mind for Jesus. If Judas did not betray or hand over Jesus the whole crucifixion would not of come to pass and then how would we of been saved. I know this is not in the Bible but Jesus and Judas were close that is why Judas was picked to be the one to hand Him over. Judas ended up killing himself but he did try to give back the money. Judas must of been hurting terribly inside after he did this because he truly loved Jesus. As we all should. Just my thoughts.

Answer 3

There are theories that Judas was chosen by Jesus to be the one to betray Him because He could trust him to do as bidden. Others theorize, that Judas only wanted to protect Jesus by taking Him out of the danger He faced from the Romans. Unfortunately, we will never know the motivation that brought him to his most famous deed.

Answer 4

It was prophecied that Jesus would be betrayed and turned over. Had Judas not done it, someone else would have. Judas didnt have to feel guilty if he had read the scriptures and could have been forgiven just like Peter was.

Answer 5

Considering it's a fictional account, I wouldn't get too worked up by it. But, that's basically what the Gospel of Judas says. Theologically, you just have to pick a position and have faith in it. There's no rationality behind any of it.

Answer 6

Good question!


But think about these:

Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers

God? He or She?

Church? Christianity? Jesus? Dying?

What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?

Does Imacculate Conception = "VIRGIN BIRTH"?

Google Imacculate Conception and learn something.

What else do you falsely believe, Immaculate Deception?

Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .

If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.

Can Gods die?

If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?

Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?

No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!

If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.

If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!

Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.

If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?

If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.

Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.

Believing and not thinking is like choosing a mental illness and becoming truly lost.

Answer 7

seeing that it was written years before Judas was born that some one was going to ...I believe the logical conclusion is YES. There are many issues that we do not understand yet happend because GOD wanted Jesus to be Crusified and Raised from the dead so there was a way paaved for us to be reconsiled with him.

Answer 8

No Judas was not obeying God.

Answer 9

Yes. In Egnlish translation, "betrayal" was used. But in the original transcripts, it shoudl read "handed over". The only time he disobeyed God when he exchanged information of Jesus for money. He could have just pointed his finger. Out of concience, he commited suicide - another disobedience from God.

Answer 10

Judas had already made his mind up to do the deed, Jesus just told him to get no with it.
