IS JUDAS A HERO?

[Dan Diego]

Being new to this forum, are there just a bunch of athiests/commies/liberals on here trying to make trouble?

I mean, the vast majority of my gun-toting friends are definitely anti liberal, anti obama and pro American.

Which leads me to believe that these loonie college kids found their way to this site (and others like it) and stir up dissention. And it appears to be working.

No?

Yes, he was a necessary part of the process for Jesus to become what he became. There has been much edited out of the Bible, and I believe there are some old medieval mummer plays that show Jesus and Judas worked together. WHY would he have hanged himself if he really wanted to turn him over. IIRC correctly the story had something to do with not trying to turn Jesus over to the Romans, but Judas such faith that he thought Jesus could impress the Romans or something to that effect.

You made the statement so you need to back it up. Where has the Bible been edited? For the billionth time, we have enough parchments and letters from individual citizens of the empire from the first and second centuries to put together and entire New Testament. There has been no editing. That is merely your opinion with no evidence to substantiate.

No one ever names their kid Judas Iscariot.

BECAUSE JUDAS BETRAYED JESUS, CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS. WITH OUT THE DEATH AND RESSURECTION ON THE CROSS WE ARE ALL DAMNED TO HELL. SHOULD WE BE THANKFUL TO JUDAS FOR BEING INSTRUMENTAL FOR OUR SALVATION?

PS. IS JUDAS DESTINED TO BETRAY CHRIST? WHAT ABOUT FREE WILL?
IF JUDAS DID NOT BETRAY JESUS, SOMEONE WOULD?

What if Judas betrayed Christ at Jesus' request?
