Judas was not only a betrayer, he was also a thief. Yet he was allowed to carry the money bag they had for the group. Jesus knew who would betray him, not that it was his will. Jesus even to the group of disciples gathered for the last supper who would betray him..
Judas told the Pharisees where to find Jesus and took money for it. However when we look at betrayal, Peter also comes to mind when he denied knowing Jesus. What about the other disciples, They all ran away.
You are right about the terminology of so called gospel of Judas. If there is such a parchment it would have to have been written by another Judas than the one who betrayed Christ. It could be another book by Jude. Which is another version of the name Judas..
There was also another disciple named Judas, not Isacarius, that was part of Jesus' group. That could possibly been written by him.

it isn't proven that judas had a gospel, i think that gospel was written some 200 years after the origional gospels, whivh would be 400 from the time of christ. most other gospels came around this time aswell and the authors have not been verified and are obviously not written by the person attributed to the gospel,such as the gospel of peter,mary magdalene,judas etc.....

Judas was doing the will of Satan. John 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him.

well technically its not a gospel unless its in the bible. there is a "gospel" of judas, whether it was actually written by him is in the air, and it really doesnt matter since the early church studied all the "gospels" and determind whether or not they were inspired by God. a.k.a. in line with the teachings of Jesus. (most of the false ones were pretty easy to spot, being written hundreds of years off, and not agreeing with the majority of the other gospels, in ways such as times events etc..)
it doesnt get me upset at all or anything becuase i know it isnt true, im not sure what ur question is tho?

Throughout the ages there have been several attempts to elevate Judas' actions. They have never been accepted and they never will be.

Judas had free will like everybody has. He chose to do evil. Jesus knew what he would do so He chose him.

Matthew 26:14 beginning:
Then one of the twelve called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
The Secret Things belong to God:
Deut.29:29
The secret things belong unto The Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto US and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
If we don't understand this it has no bearing on our salvation.

Jesus knew who would betray him
Joh 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
