if you believe destiny a.k.a. de ja vu.......then maybe he created his destiny to betray Jesus.....if we are living an unmapped, impulsive life, then he had free will....hmmmmmmmm

Both. He had the choice to betray Jesus or not. He decided to do it. God also knew that he was going to betray Jesus, so Judas was destined to betray Him. Although, also he had the choice whether to do it or not.

Judas definately had free will. Satan got to him long before he betrayed Jesus. He had been stealing from the poor box way before he sold Jesus out.

There is a group that says that Judas had to do it so that Jesus could die for our sins, and that Judas should be honoured not despised.
It's an ongoing debate. Nobody really knows the answer.

He had free will, but since God knows everything that is going to happen before it happens...God knew it...Someone had to be the one to betray Jesus to fulfill God's plan...

Hard to say, since it was part of the overall plan of salvation for Jesus to die on the cross.

It was destined from the beginning....
God is sovereign.....read Isaiah and the Psalms.

HE had free will . Everyone has free will in this life to chose and decide their actions

He had free will - But God is all-knowing and knew that he would be the one. Knowing does not negate free will.
