God knew that Judas would do it, he let him do it: Jesus HAD to die for our sins and all that: therefore Judas was surely acting within the general scheme of things...he was but a player
Saint of sinner? what do you think

Jesus also knew exactly who would sell Him out to the "authorities", and even let the man have a seat of honor next to Him at their last meal together! Jesus warned all the disciples several times that He was about to suffer, and said that it was foreordained. He also said "but woe to him who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had never been born".
Judas sold Jesus out to the Sanhendrin for money. The Gospels record that Judas was the group accountant, and had a tendency to help himself to the cash. He knew Jesus had done nothing wrong, and yet he did this anyway; his greed overcame his better sense. His painful remorse afterward also showed he knew what he had done was wrong; one does not feel conviction where there is no sin!
Judas' biggest mistake was in not waiting for the Ressurection. He could have recieved forgiveness. Instead he took his own life.
Judas died in his sin. A sad ending to a life with such great potential.

First, you're assuming that a e book written about one hundred years after the activities and that has been for this reason altered is an precise representation of heritage. it isn't. that is only a narrative, the characters do regardless of the author needs them to. Judas 'betrays' Jesus because some out of context passage in the OT says he will, and the Christians can upload an extra desirable messianic 'prophecy' that has been fulfilled. For a diverse tale seem into the Gospel in accordance to Judas. A gnostic gospel that the church declared heresy honestly because they did not like it. It will boost your precise factor. Jesus ought to die on the hands of the authorities so as that his human blood sacrifice can wash away our sins (do not ask why an all-powerful deity won't be able to easily wash them away without a human sacrifice.) So Jesus instructions Judas to betray him to the Romans. even with the undeniable fact that it quite is basically yet another tale written lengthy after the time that those activities were meant to take position.

Judas is an interesting paradox. Through his own free will, he betrayed Jesus. Remember, Jesus said to the disciples, "You did not choose me, but rather, I chose you".
God and Jesus knew from "In the beginning" what kind of person Judas would be. And, so, when the time came, Jesus chose Judas for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the crucifixion.
Judas, however, in his own mind, was not coerced into either joining or betraying Him, he just took advantage of situations the way any thief would. God allowed situations to *nudge* Judas to be at the right place at the right time, so that he would see Jesus and join Him. Judas just did what he felt to be natural and to his advantage to make a quick denarius or two.
God also knew that he would be unrepentant for His deeds (hence why he had no problems stealing from the coffers, or never came forward and confessed about it). Do not mistake mere guilt for repentance. Out of guilt, he returned the money to the Pharisees, and committed suicide. Had he have been repentant, we would have prayed for forgiveness instead of killing himself. Yet, he did not.
He had not learned anything during that whole time he'd spent with Jesus. Hence, this is why Jesus chose him in the first place. He knew he would die an unrepentant sinner in the end anyway, had he have followed Jesus or not, and so chose him to follow Him, so that none of the righteous disciples would have the guilt of betrayal upon them.
Like the blind guy Jesus and the disciples met... "Who's sin is it that caused him to be blind, his, or his parents?" "Neither, but it happened so that God can be glorified". It was no one's fault that Judas was a sinner except his own, but God used even a sinner like him, to glorify Jesus. From this, we know that God uses all things, be they holy, common, accursed, or sinful, to bring glory to Himself and His Son, and to bring about the salvation of mankind.
As a note to Voltage, above me... Judas was not crucified. Out of guilt, he gave back the money given to him for betraying Jesus, then went to a cliffside, and hung himself. After he'd died, the rope or limb had snapped, and his corpse went tumbling down the hill, tearing the corpse open, and spilling his guts all over the place.

Yeah...have to be honest, I'm with the Gnostics on this one - how do you fulfill the will of god, and perform the sacrifice of the Son, victory over death, all that palaver, without...well, the death, for one thing. Think Judas was a part of a plan (if you believe in the plan to begin with of course). So I think Judas has been severly maligned over the centuries by believers in the whole "resurrection" thing. Saying "Satan went into him" is just a cop-out, surely, like when people claim that Christians who do bad things "aren't real Christians".
Saint Judas, I reckon. Or even - let's up the ante here - if Mary is considered the Mother of Christ, how about Judas, the Maker of Christ? As you say, Jesus needed betraying to kick off the whole "Christ" deal, so I reckon Judas should be accepted into the hierarchy.

The Bible says that Judas betrayed Our Lord Jesus Christ. It also says that Satan entered into Judas (Luke 22:3). If Satan had entered into Judas what makes you think that Judas was a saint?

According to the new findings I know about Judas didn't betray Jesus at all. He acted in agreement with Jesus and knew that his reputation will be tattered. This makes him more of a saint that all the rest of apostles.

He had to betray Jesus, do you think he could have died to save us from our sins if he had not done so, it was his destiny to betray Jesus, like everyone he had to fulfill his destiny, even meaning betraying the son of GOD
