Quote by: Technosoul One poster suggested that Judas had a motive, to make off with the money that had been donated to Jesus for his mission.
Another poster reported that Jesus had to die because death is the wages of sin, so Jesus made off with everyone's wages.
Simular motives - very interesting.
Anyway everyone gave good reasons, and provided the verses and chapters needed, to make their point as far as I can tell. You have expressed the interpretations that most biblical experts have advocated. Personally i see no reason to object those claims. | what if it was both. Jesus had to be betrayed, Judas had the motive to make it off with the money, and Jesus made it off with the world's wages for sin. |
Judas was the one who offered the Lamb as the burnt offering for the rest of us. Who else among men was willing to offer the spotless lamb to be sacraficed? None of them. Should we not be thankful to Judas for bringing the Lamb to the alter? Do any of you have actual scriptures that speak directly about the motives of Judas? Other then a unfounded report that he got paid some silver coins being offered as reward money.
