@killingfloorman I tend to go with the βGood Guy Judasβ theory.
Someone had to give him up to the Romans, so Judas was chosen/volunteered.
βOne of you will/must betray meβ could be a command, not a prophesy.
@EnochianEntropy @killingfloorman
It was God's will that Jesus be crucified. Why blame Judas for what's destined to happen?
@mcfate Because Judas had free will. He *chose* to do it. We are discussing why he did it, which is an academic exercise since we can't possibly know his motivation
@killingfloorman @EnochianEntropy
Did Jesus have "free will"? He basically said, "I don't wanna do this, but if You're gonna MAKE me, okay."
@mcfate he ABSOLUTELY had free will. As a man he of course didn't want to suffer. As God, he knew that it was necessary, and so chose to do it (thankfully)
