If Judas Iscariot facilitated Jesus crucifixion leading to redemption of man, shouldn't Judas be commended instead of being vilified?

You are just seeing things on one side. See, God uses the bad that people do for good. Judas intentions were not to glorify the Christ but his intentions were to "get rich" The Jewish counsel's intentions were not to carry out the redemption of man by putting Jesus on the cross, their intention was to silence this man who said He was God. Juda realized that Jesus was who He said He was in the garden, that is why he hung himself.

it seems that a lot of us can identify or at least sympathize with Judas as he seemed hard done by, but this would not be the correct thing to do.
Judas committed the one sin that cannot be forgiven,i.e the sin against the Holy Spirit.
if a Christian turns their back on Christ and despairs of Christs saving sacrifice then they are in fact saying that Jesus is not Saviour and actually states by their action that the Holy Spirit is in error(lying) about witnessing the truth of salvation to the world.
Judas who was an Apostle and was with Jesus for most of His ministry was in a high position of trust and intimate knowledge of the role of his Master and at the end by his own will turned away from the truth and by his suicide confirmed his actions.
Judas was not needed in order to facilitate the crucifixion of Jesus as the Sanhedrin who were out for His blood would have found another way without him.
Jesus stated that judas chose to be lost, and so we most always be careful about dispairing of our own salvation, and not commit that sin against the Holy Spirit.

As far as I'm concerned, Judas was doing the will of God when he sold out Jesus. Afterall, somebody had to be the fall guy in God's master plan. So if Judas was the guy, how can a person be condemnd for doing what he was supposed to do?

I just saw on National Geographic that there is a scroll regarding
Judas that claims he did not betray Jesus as we know from the Bible but that they were in cahouts together because Jesus really wanted to go before the Roman court. I amm just writing what I saw on tv on a very good channel and I am not saying it is true or false.

Judas had to take responsibility for his evil intent and actions. The sovereignty of God and the free will of man remain a paradox to many. But, both are true and both play out in holy history and in life. You can add to or take from the Bible, but you cannot destroy it. It abides forever.

Jesus condemned Judas. He called him "son of destruction," and he said it would have been better if he had never been born. If Jesus condemned Judas, who are we to disagree?

in case you will examine the Gospels and learn them you will possibly desire to understand that once Jesus Prayed till now He died, that He refers to Judas with the aid of fact the son of perdition, that's one that became into prophesied to end the purpose of the Scriptures, so he incredibly did no longer have a decision while the Lord dipped His bread in with Judas's then the fulfilment of Scripture became into to take place. It became into then that devil entered into his coronary heart, nonetheless the different issues that are stated of him are the two genuine, one sees his human section exceedingly defined right here and the tip consequence of it as nicely. The evil one does certainly have a plan as nicely, even with the undeniable fact that that's no longer something that God is blind to, so which you will possibly desire to no longer problem approximately that till you're actually not saved . you may desire to ascertain in Daniel, and in Revelations with reference to the mark of the beast, and picture it via .

You Christians have no identity of your own,
Even now your belief isnt complete without belief in the old testament, The Jews tell you what to follow and what to discard,
Jesus himself said "I have come to uphold the book of Moses"
He himself was a jew, and was betrayed by a jew,
Even if you want to with the hardest of evidence, you still cannot demonise Judas,
Happy following,
