Judas evidently made some very bad choices. He is recorded as being a thief as he had charge of the money bag and used to steal from it.
The issue of determinism or people being predestined to do certain things is an interesting subject and can become very long-winded. The Bible also maintains choice and free-will as real human characteristics, given them by a sovereign God who in true freedom chose to give such to man.
Man often ensnares himself in his own choices and this evidently happened to Judas. Perhaps, as has been suggested by some, he had a fixed view of Jesus and when Jesus didn't match his expectations he betrayed Him. It has also been suggested that Judas betrayed Jesus as a test, since Judas believed Jesus could and would deliver Himself.
In any case Jesus accurately referred to the eternal judgment of hellfire awaiting those who reject Him. On earth, even to this day, the name of Judas also 'lives long in infamy' and is a byword for betrayal. Jesus foreknowledge of Judas' betrayal and His comment about Judas birth do not negate the fact that Judas was fully accountable for his actions.

Judas.
Who did Jesus say was going to betray him?
Jesus said the man who dips in the same plate will betray him. See Matthew 26:21-25. Verse 25 reads: Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, "Rabbi, is it I?" He said to him, "You have said it." (Parallel accounts in Mark 14, Luke 22 and John 13. Matthew's account is the most detailed regarding what was said between Jesus and Judas.)
Why did Judas grab the Romans while Jesus slept?

Why was Judas selected as a disciple?
Because Judas would eventually betray Jesus. But God knows what is going to happen and he knew that Judas would betray Him and that was part of God's plan for Him to die on the cross and save us from hell. so if Jesus would have not picked Judas as a disciple then the Crucifixion would not have taken place the way that God meant it to!Answer #2:As Jesus is supposed to be the manifestation of God on earth, he doomed himself to suffer 33 years of human misery out of an eternity of (presumably) bliss. Definitely a sacrifice but, in the grand scheme of things, put-uppable-with. Especially as he made the bloodthirsty rules in the first place. On the other hand, in order to put Jesus in this place to make this supposed blood payment, Judas would have to condemn himself to 'eternal damnation', and the condemnation of all, for all eternity. Of the two, I consider the second the greater 'sacrifice'. Judas would therefore be the 'true' saviour. Thank God it's a load of hokum.
