I do not think Judas intended for Jesus to be executed but he sure did not know why Jesus was here. Actually none of the Apostles understood it before the resurrection.
Most of the Jews were tired of Roman rule. They were looking for someone to reestablish the "Kingdom of Israel" in the same major as King David. This too is what the Apostles thought Jesus was going to do so I contend that Judas betrayed Jesus to force Him to "make His move" and overthrow the Romans.
When Jesus was sentenced to die, Judas did regret it and he went out and took his own life. If we read carefully, Jesus was still reaching out to Judas as He was being betrayed...He called Judas...friend. Another very interesting thing is that when they asked where Jesus was, Jesus answered them "I AM" and all of those who sought to arrest Him fell backwards onto the ground and they could not get up until Jesus gave them permission to.
Folks...Jesus was in control at ALL times! Judas could have gone to Jesus as He hung on that cross and said...forgive me...and he would have been forgiven. He only had to ask...just as we only need to ask today.....Have YOU? Read the link below!

You said, "If we can forgive him why God cant give him an apology? If I can, Why God cant?"
First of all you don't know what went on before Judas hung himself do you? You don't know if God allowed him into heaven or not.
Second, the "gospel of Judas" is proven to be a fake! It's too new, the paper is too new. It was written in the 3rd century. 300 years after Judas was around. It's ridiculous.
Third, you compare yourself to God? Where were you when he made the earth and stars? Where were you when he and his angels went to battle with Satan? Where were you when he watched his son die for our sins?
Please, don't ever compare yourself to God.

I haven't read the book, but I'll explain the Bible concept. Judus, someone who was supposed to be a follower of Jesus, betrayed him. He stole from him and mocked him by kissing him on the cheek at the Last Supper. Judus, because of his guilt, hung himself from a tree; he became history's first suicide. God can forgive sin when the person asks forgiveness. He can forgive things that a person doesn't know are sins. Although he is omnicient--all knowing--in spirit, he can't look upon the sin because he is perfect.

Judas may have been sorry for what he had done. In fact the bible indicates that he was. But if he did not repent for his sin, then he did not go to heaven and that is that. You cannot blame God, you cannot get into God's mind, you have no idea what God's intentions are. And none of us know if Judas is in heaven or not, everything is just speculation.

Judas kicks a'ss, if I had been in his place I would have sold out jesus for 30 shekels of silver, too. I wouldn't have commited suicide though, I would have bought a beach house. EDIT: Then it's a good thing I'm not atheist, isn't it? Besides, I would have gotten a dirty hippy killed who has had millions of people world-wide killed in his name. That hardly makes me a terrorist,quite the opposite. And it wouldn't be for the money, it would be for the hookers and a beach house

nobody is born a murderer.
Any guy who conspires to kill another guy is not my idea of a good guy.
Enslavementality, you'd have gotten a guy killed for a few peices of metal? You are no better than a terrorist. You give atheism a bad name.

Judas is badazz, he's the only one who truly understood Jebus and he sold his soul to fulfill Jebus's will.
