These are some questions asked by other people that cought my attention. To me they made some sence so im just posting these question to see what you think about them
* Did Judas exist in his time only to betray Jesus just to fulfill the prophecy?
* Why did Jesus allow Judas to betray him?
o Was Jesus unable to prevent the betrayal?
o Did Jesus willingly allow the betrayal to go ahead?
o Did Jesus actively try to cause the betrayal to happen?
* Why is it that the 'villainy' of Judas becomes greater and more pronounced as one reads from Mark to John?
If Jesus foresees Judas' betrayal, then it may be argued that Judas has no free will, and cannot avoid betraying Jesus. If Judas cannot control his betrayal of Jesus, then he is not morally responsible for his actions.
If Judas is sent to Hell for his betrayal, and his betrayal was a necessary step in the humanity-saving death of Jesus Christ, then Judas is punished for saving humanity. This goes hand-in-hand with the "free will" argument,
If Jesus only suffered while dying on the cross and then ascended into Heaven, while Judas must suffer for eternity in Hell, then does Judas not suffer much more for the sins of humanity than Jesus?
Does Jesus' plea, "Father forgive them, they know not what they do," (Luke 23:34) not apply to Judas? Is his atonement insufficient for Judas' sins?
