In class today I heard a few Christian friends talking about religion. I always enjoy these kinds of conversations, so I joined in. Anyways, eventually the conversation switched to being about Judas Iscariot. The bell rang and left me with a question: Shouldn't Judas be considered a good guy, or at least better than he is generally put out to be? After all, if Jesus's(pbuh) death saved mankind, and Judas's betrayal caused Jesus(pbuh) to be crucified as the story goes, wouldn't Judas have indirectly caused everyone to be saved? My dad personally believes that Judas was the greatest of the apostles for this reason. Of course Judas felt VERY bad about the betrayal (he hung himself after all.) but he did it anyways. Of course I have my own conspiracy theories about it all. Did Jesus(pbuh) want Judas to have him executed as part of a big plan, essentially making him somewhat of a hero?
Just a thought. I'd like to be enlightened on this issue.
