A Friendly Church with a Christ-centered Ministry
The text of the Gospels suggests that Jesus both foresaw and allowed Judas' betrayal. In April 2006, a Coptic papyrus manuscript titled the Gospel of Judas dating back to 200 AD, was translated into modern language, to add weight to the possibility that according to early Christian writings, Jesus may have asked Judas to betray him.
While most people look upon Judas as a betrayer my question is did Judas betray Jesus to fulfill the prophecy against his own will?
Every thing scripture tells us is that Judas did what he did of his own mind and free will. It was not a conspiraacy between Judas and Jesus for Jduas to betray Jesus. Before the betrail in the Last supper Jesus knowing what Judas was going to do offered Judas a peace offering acknowledging that Judas did not have to go through with the betrail.
In the garden before Jduas ever identified Jesus said three differnt times that he was the one they sought before Judas ever kissed. Giving Judas another out.
Jeus claimed that he gave his life freely. He didn't need Judas to help him.
Judas own character betrays him. He pilfered money from the treasurey of which he was the keeper. He chastied the woman who washed Jesus feet with her hair all the while he was stealing.
The book of Judas where some of this theory comes form has not been substaniated as having any credibility. so not to be believed.
Ther are alwayas theories and what not as to try to destroy the person as work of Jesus . If there is any thing aout there \taht can destroy the work and [person of Jesus Christ then salvation and Jesus become unneccessary. then anything goes.
