Judas should've asked JESUS for forgiveness instead of killing himself

[Cuban Pete]

Abrahamic religion is beautiful as fukk but its hard to follow. Ive had my Christian friends tell me both that Judas was the great betrayer and an avatar for Satan and that he was literally a part of Gods plan for Christs redemption of Man so he technically is forgiven for being an instrument of God. I dont know which fits better honestly

But Jesus said it was meant to be

If Judas doesn't betray him how does his death, burial, and resurrection happen? the exact reason he came to earth?

Then Jesus said it would’ve been better if he (Judas) had not been born

“For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born”

He is not explicitly referring to Judas there

That’s a matter of causality, it was going to happen but that doesn’t mean Judas should have done it

My uncle is a Pentecostal minister. I asked him about this; how Judas can bear any blame since the Crucifixion was meant to be. His explanation was that even though the Crucifixion was meant to be, Judas was not necessary for it to be set in motion. Someone else could and would have sent Jesus to the cross. Judas inserted himself into the process through his own free will.

(As an atheist, I found that explanation less than convincing, but I didn't say anything else).

As the homie said, it should've happened anyway, but Judas did it to himself. Nobody forced him.

Matthew 18:7
Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!

The resurrection was gonna happen regardless, Judas just inserted himself into the situation. He did not have to.

Maybe akin to you are going to die at some point. But that doesn't mean if you get murdered that your killer should not be punished because your death was meant to be.

Why did Judas rat to Romans while Jesus slept?

 

[Hannibal Fox]

And while they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me." : Matthew 26:21

Is that a proclamation, an order or both?

The Bible is the ultimate "suspension of disbelief" book...great read tho.

 

[ThaEruditious]

This is Old Testament right?
That version of god was less forgiving. He was cursing people left and right.
Judas was like damned if i do damned if i don’t
The whole idea though was that he turned his back on god so much that he couldn’t see asking for forgiveness as an option

New Testament

 

[ThatTruth777]

but would he be able to forgive himself?

 

[Payroll]

He gave no fukks...

He was at that last supper like..

Thank you for your edgy take.

If you have nothing to say about the topic, then

The Bible is some white boy shyt.


Appreciate the black church being the ground zero for afram music though
