The thread is about Christianity, namely about Judas, one of the 12 apostles who according to the Bible betrayed Jesus Christ (just in case if someone didn't get the title)
What do you people think about Judas? Many people consider him to be a betrayer, but was he a betrayer? Why did he "betray" and was that a betray?
He was one of the 12 chosen, a loyal follower, I doubt he was so weak that Satan could control him.
30 pieces of silver? It is ridiculous, how can anyone think that he was greedy, if he was, he would have never joined Christ and the rest of the followers. Only 30 pieces of silver... is this such a big sum of money? Why would a person not living for money suddenly betray a mentor for some 30 pieces of silver?
The sum shows that he wasn't greedy.
So was it his will, or was he given a burden to complete the prophecy and be cursed for accomplishing God's will? Jesus knew he would die, he never was afraid of it, he didn't let his followers defend him, he said it was God's will.
What if Judas had been instructed by Christ or by the Holy Spirit to do what he did? It was a great responsibility, and he could be the chosen one.
However, the failed to live with his burden and committed suicide. Having proof that Jesus was Son of God. Why didn't he try to save his soul? Maybe because being hated for being the chosen among the apostles and the most loyal to accomplish God's will was too heavy burden for him.
What do you people think about it?
