text: should judas iscariot be condemned? if judas iscariot facilitated jesus crucifixion leading to redemption of man, shouldn't judas be commended instead of being vilified? you are just seeing things on one side. see, god uses the bad that people do for good. judas intentions were not to glorify the christ but his intentions were to "get rich" the jewish counsel's intentions were not to carry out the redemption of man by putting jesus on the cross, their intention was to silence this man who said he was god. juda realized that jesus was who he said he was in the garden, that is why he hung himself.
