I mean God already knew what was going to happen to Jesus, the whole prophecy thing, he was going to die and be betrayed. He had to choose someone who was going to carry out that mission.
It just happened to be Judas, doesn't that sound like a set up to you ?

How can it be free will if God already has that plan for you? nothing you can do will change that...and someone had to do it.

No, he already knew Judas heart and soul, if anything Jesus tried to save Judas with his personal teaching and showing him his work.
IMPORTANT to REMEMBER
Peter also denied Jesus Christ, but he repented and was forgiven.
Judas did take the money back to the high priest, but he killed himself because of the guilt of what he done. If he would of repented and not killed himself,
Well who know for sure, but look at Peter???
Look at Mary Magdalene and all her sins, and her faith and repents.
Job in the whales stomache.

God already knew what Judas was going to do in his life just as much as He knows what you are going to do in your life. It is called "free will". God will not make us do anything. It is us that fall short of the glory of God.
You cannot blame Christ for Judas' mistakes, just as you cannot blame Christ for your own.

Just because God predicts something doesn't mean He caused it.
Look at the book of Daniel. Predictions were made regarding all the major kingdoms but God didn't cause those changes, they were the choice of power hungry people.

That's because God is a character in a fairy tale and doesn't exist. Stop trying to make sense of it. Just walk away from the religion before you become a vessel of hate and intolerance like the rest of them

No. Judas was one of the most important people in the Bible. You are callous and shallow.

Remember free will. Judas could have taken the high road and said, no thanks, I'm with you Jesus. But he didn't, that ws his own choice.

Noone is a "victim" of God.
