Was Judas a hero and
most trusted disciple, or a traitor?
Most people see Judas
as a traitor in the myth of the crucifixion. Few recognize that Jesus was
asking his most trusted disciple, Judas, to turn him over to the Jews and
Pilate.
Most are unaware of
the meaning of the sop that Jesus gave to Judas at the last supper. Without
knowing the definition and meaning of that word, it is not surprising that most
think of Judas as they do. The completely wrong way.
A sop is basically a
gift or conciliatory bribe, something that seals a deal. That is what Jesus
gave Judas, his most trusted disciple. We know he was Jesus’ favorite because
he was Jesus’ banker.
Dictionary reference
for sop.
Something that is done or given to someone
in order to prevent trouble, gain support, etc.
Without the betrayal,
Jesus would not have died for us, as Yahweh had planned, and scriptures say
that Judas also had no choice as that would have derailed god’s plan.
If any blame for
Jesus’ death is to be given, it must be to Yahweh, whose plan, scriptures say
must come to pass. Meaning that Yahweh would have to control all the players
including Judas.
Scriptures show Jesus
persuading Judas to do what he would not ordinarily have thought of doing.
Judas believed that
Jesus was the messiah who was to rise again to lead the Jews. This lie imposed
by Yahweh.
Was Judas a good man
doing Jesus’ will or was he a traitor?
