He needed to & Jesus was aware of it and even told his disciples ahead of time that one of them would. He obviously couldn't live with that decision and so they say committed he suicide. But if he had not we would not know Jesus today and we would not know his words or his teachings. We would not have the cross as the embolization of christianity. Ultimately what drove him to betray Jesus was money, politics and intimidation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted February 8, 2020 #27 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Judas is an antisemitic trope created by the early church to separate and distinguish Christians from Jews, after the the Jewish revolt. The very name is indicative of that purpose. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very name is indicative of that purpose. I don't think Judas is an anti-Semitic trope, since the apostles were Jewish. I personally think the various apostles represented different ideas, movements and groups within the messianic Judaic community. I think Judas represented the more militant and revolutionary minded messianic jews who were waiting for the Yahwey's warhorse version of the messiah; a reborn king David that would gather an army and lead a revolution to drive the Romans out of Israel. When Jesus failed to be that warrior messiah those groups “betrayed” him by rejecting him as the messiah all together. The biblical judgment of Judas was a symbolic judgment of those groups by the early church. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horta Posted February 9, 2020 #38 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Wasn't there a gnostic "Gospel of Judas", where he was the hero? The only disciple who understood what jesus was about and realised he wanted to end it, but couldn't do it himself for "spiritual" reasons. So he played his part and helped him. While the other disciples were dolts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most early Christians were Jews and/or proselyte Jews, as Judaism accepted converts in that era. Christianity was perceived as a heretical sect of the greater Jewish Faith.

docyabut2 Posted February 9, 2020 #42 Share Posted February 9, 2020 What makes me sad is every Christian church's of the branches I went to, most tells of the OT and Paul instead of all the riddles Jesus had said, but why he died but why he lived, and but why Judas didn't survive three days later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am aware the figure of Judas was used as an antisemitic trope by the later church, but I do not believe that was the intent of him in it's writing. Even if it were it makes no logical sense in that if most of the apostles were Jewish, than the actions of the one apostle;Judas, can't be a reflection of Jews as a whole. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very name is indicative of that purpose. Um didn't the modern meaning follow/ evolve from, the name /action of judas ? In Hebrew it is a very common name meaning one of the following Translations of Judas noun יְהוּדָה Judas, Yehuda, Judah, Judaea The name Judas is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Judah, in Hebrew יהודה (ye-hu-dah, Strong's #3063). Most Hebrew dictionaries will define this name as "praise," but as this English word is an abstract word it falls short of its true Hebraic meaning. The parent root of this word is יד (yad, Strong's #3027) meaning "hand". The child root ידה (Y.D.H, Strong's #3034) is derived from yad and means "to throw or stretch out the hand" and is the base root in the name Yehudah. If you were standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon for the first time you might throw your hands out and say "Wow, will you look at that". This is the Hebraic understanding of "praise" and the name Yehudah. https://www.ancient-hebrew.org/names/Judas.htm Edited February 9, 2020 by Mr Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right about how it was used. but even as a child and an atheist it puzzled me how the early church declaimed judas as a jew yet failed to recognise that, all his life christ was one, and lived and worshipped as one, preaching almost exclusively to other jews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If wish to understand Christianity, you'll have to study Roman history, and the antipathy felt toward Jews after multiple revolts in the First and second centuries. Christians wished to completely disassociate themselves and their Faith from Judaism and--rightly or wrongly--deliberately and repeatedly conflated Jews and Judaism with the crucifixion and death of Christ, in that period. They had enough persecution problems of their own, never mind paying for the sins of the Jews against the State as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
