All events are predestined, Judas had no choice, as did any person/animal/enviromental conditions , none.
I believe that God is the beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega.. that being so, He knows and directcs all things to His outcome.. which is to bring satan to submission and mankind back to Him.
This being so, it sets up another ?, what do we Mankind do was ment tobe done, and cannot be changed.. this trueism is perplexing, comments please... this one kept me up.

All events predestined...
- So what if they are? I WANT God to guide my footsteps. The atheists don't know or care whether God guides theirs. If God made Judas a vessel fit for destruction, then He had that prerogative.
He knows and directs...
- Yes, He does. not only to His outcome, but to His glory.
Satan to submission and Mankind back to Him...
- Don't think for a minute that God's will is in the "stands a good chance" category.
This truism is perplexing...
- I celebrate God's will being carried out. "Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven." Soli Deo Gloria!

Sorry, mate, you're wrong! We are only "predestined" by His foreknowledge - not by His direction.
What a cop out. "I'm not responsible for my actions, God has determined what I do".
Judas DID have a choice or God was unjust in punishing him for his actions.
