A question about Judas?

Question

watched a 4 hour movie about jesus, and i was just wondering why Judas turned Jesus over to the Roman authorities. Is the reason that it was written in the prophecies? Or did the movie not include a scene conveying judas' feelings toward jesus?

Answer 1

The Bible said that he was the son of evil from the beginning. He wanted a political leader to lead Israel in a revolt against Rome. When he found out that Jesus was here to lead in the Kingdom of heaven not the Kingdom of Israel on earth, he attempted through betraying the Lord to force His into taking political action.. All it brought about for his was eternal death... Jim

Answer 2

Actually, there has been much discussion about Judas. It is likely that he was a Zealot, and truly believed that Jesus was about to become King of the Jews. He thought he could push the issue, and so he betrayed Jesus, figuring that would be the catalyst necessary to bring in the Kingdom. When things went so horribly wrong, he hung himself. That was really his only mistake. He didn't realize that he had acted according to Scripture, and that if he had only held onto his faith for a few HOURS more, he would have been vindicated, if not exactly the way he thought.

Answer 3

Judas was human, just like you and me. He was faced with temptation. He gave in. The prophecy knew that Jesus would be betrayed. God knew who.

Scholars believe that Judas was treasurer of the group and upset of the way he saw Jesus "wasting" money. it is also believed that he did not believe they would kill jesus. I think Judas just wanted Jesus taught a lesson. Instead Juda learned one.

Answer 4

Judas was chosen so the prophecy of Jesus Christ dying for our sins could be fulfilled.
The first prophecy in the Bible concerns the Anti-Christ. Enmity was put between Satan and the woman. The seed of the woman (Jesus) would bruise the head of Satan's seed (Judas).
This happened when Judas hung himself. Satan's seed (Judas) bruised the heel of the seed of the woman (Jesus). This happened when Judas betrayed Jesus and they put Jesus on the cross.
Gen. 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. KJV

The Anti-Christ must be a Jew and a reprobate:
Dan. 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of a woman, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. KJV
Jesus said that he had chosen twelve apostles and that one was a devil:
John 6:70 Jesus answered them, have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Jesus said that Judas was the Son of Perdition:
(Webster's definition: The loss of the soul or of hope for salvation; damnation; the place or condition of damnation; hell.)
John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the Son of Perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. (KJV)
Paul said that the man of sin was the son of perdition:
II Thes. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition: KJV
There was only one man in the Bible who did not go to Heaven or Hell, but went to his own place:
Acts 1:25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. KJV
The Anti-Christ will come out of the Bottomless Pit. He will not be born, but will be resurrected. He must do what Jesus did in order for the people to believe that he is the Christ:
Rev.17: 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. KJV

Answer 5

It was in prophecy. But Judas asked how much he would be paid, so money.
