Was Judas chosen to betray Jesus?
Judas was not forced, he was temped by Satan ... Those 30 pieces of silver (the price of a slave) looking mighty good in Judas pocket. Judas was paid to betray Jesus Christ and accepted the bribe.
Why did Judas grab the Romans while Jesus slept?
Because Satan led Judas to betray Jesus for a few pieces of money, he was guilt ridden after he done this, because it was Satan pushing him to do it, but little did Satan know God knew what was going to happen and Jesus death was God's plan to pay the ransom for us.
Did God's plan for redemption rely upon the actions of Judas or was that just a coincidence?
God's plan for redemtion did not have to rely on anything. Jesus dying on the cross was planned a long time before Jesus was born as a man. Nor was it a coincidence. Jesus revealed at the Last Supper that Judas would betray him. This eventually sent Jesus to the cross and died for our sins. Judas used his free will and it was his own decision to betray Jesus. The sadducees were just looking for a reason to crucify Him. If it wasn't Judas then it would have been someone else. But God knew even before it was prophisied in Isaiah.
Why did Jesus choose Judas Iscariot despite knowing he will betray him?
Despite the terrible betrayal that was involved in Judas Iscariot's act, it was the will of God and Jesus that He would go to the cross for our sins. Just as Jesus did not have to hang on the cross (He could have saved Himself) He did not have befriend Judas, but He did because it would ultimately lead to Him paying the penalty for our sins.
Out of the 12 disciples in the Bible who was the most loyal to God?
peter was the one who reconized jesus after he died and came back to life so it was peter. Judas was pre-determined to betray Jesus. He was called by God to perform this act that was prophesied. If he refused God's calling he would have been disloyal to God. If Abraham was not stopped by the angel would he have still killed his son? If God did not want Judas to heed his calling would he have not dispatched an Angel to stop Judas? Judas did not hear the cock crow 3 times as he denied his affiliation with Jesus. Judas did not run away from Jesus as Pilot's men descended upon Jesus. Judas brought Pilot's men to Jesus. Once again, Judas was instrumental to fulfilling God's plan. Good instance of Pre-determination verses Free Will.
Why Jesus had to be betrayed by Judas especially when he was so popular?
That was all part of God's plan. Jesus came as the lamb of God = a sacrifice for sin. John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! It was God's plan for Jesus to die and God's plan for Judas to betray Him. We don't know for sure but it seems that Judas may have repented of his sin, in that case God would forgive him. Mat 27:3 When Judas, the traitor, learned that Jesus had been condemned, he repented and took back the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. Mat 27:4 "I have sinned by betraying an innocent man to death!" he said. "What do we care about that?" they answered. "That is your business!" Mat 27:5 Judas threw the coins down in the Temple and left; then he went off and hanged himself.
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.
Did Jesus know he was the son of god his entire life?
Yes Jesus knows everything we can see he was te son of god from the start of the creation. We also see Jesus tell Judas this WHAT YOU DO DO QUICKLY.
Why did Jesus entrust only Judas with his secret?
According to ancient writings found about 10 years ago, it appears that Judas was Jesus' best friend. He was the only one of the disciples that Jesus could trust to betray Him to the Romans. Judas knew when he agreed to betray Jesus that it would ruin and most likely end his own life. That would be a great friend, all right!Another Answer:The inference from Scripture would suggest the Apostle John was the closest to Christ. Jesus indicates to Peter that only John will live out his life fully as God's work would be finalized in John's writings. Reading the 5 writings of John shows a deep knowledge of the God Family that no other writing seems to reflect.All other writings of Judas or whoever are not Scriptural, therefore uninspired by God and just the interpretations/imaginations of men.
How did Judas iscariot become a disciple?
We are not told 'how' Judas became a disciple except that he was chosen by Jesus. This does not mean that Jesus made a mistake in choosing someone who would betray him as he knew from the outset his mission and his fate, and predicted his death and resurrection many times. What we do know is that Judas was not from Galilee (Iscaria is not in that area) and was the 'keeper of the purse' i.e. the disciples' 'treasurer'. However, John's account tells us that he often helped himself to money from the common fund; whether this is actually so or whether it is John's character assassination, we don't know. In recent times there have been moves to make Judas into a saint. The reason for this was that, as Jesus' betrayer, it can be argued that Judas was doing God's work to bring about Jesus' death and resurrection and, consequently, our salvation. Although controversial, this idea fits well into the reasons why, presumably, Jesus, as an expert in other peoples' characters, chose Judas in the first place.
How did Judas identify Jesus as the one to be arrested?
Judas had been with Jesus for a number of years and so knew Him well. He probably gave the traditional middle-eastern 'kiss' still used today between males. Hence Jesus' comment 'do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?' This 'sign' was what he told those who had come with him to look out for, that they should arrest the one he kissed.
What sin committed by Judas Iscariot?
