Was Judas Jesus’ hero and most trusted disciple?

Remember that Judas was Jesus’ banker or treasurer.




Without the so called betrayal, Jesus would not have died for us.

Yet scriptures show Jesus persuading Judas to do what he would not ordinarily have thought of doing.

Judas believed that Jesus was not to die as the old prophesies said that he would live and lead.



Was Judas the hero of Jesus’ drama or was he a villain?

Was the story of Judas strictly spiritual or was he a real character?

If real to you, was Jesus sent here to live or was he sent to die?

The Jewish tradition says Jesus was to live and lead and Judas’ depression induced suicide says that he thought the same.

Was Judas a good man doing Jesus’ will or was he a traitor?

Normally I don't engage you but this is a topic I find interesting...

I don't see why he has to be either the hero or the villain. He was definitely a key player.

I'm actually not certain what you're asking here.

Both. I believe he was sent to live a life that would could exemplify and also to die for the remission of our sins.

I believe that Judas was a good man and it was his role to betray Jesus. While that in itself seems an evil, traitorous thing to to, it was necessary for the fulfillment of the plan.

No Judas was not Jesus' hero. I believe Jesus knew he would act in a selfish manner. If Judas knew Jesus was going to be killed I don't think he would have turned him over...as he wanted power...he thought Jesus was going to become a new king on earth.
