The Judas Question

If certain people were too advanced for the time in which they lived then it is evident that most people of this era of ours are also behind and not going with the same degree that time takes it course in regards to understanding. There is one thing that confirms what I just said which is found specifically in many students of the bible and specifically their views or knowledge of the characters like Pharaoh, Saint or the Apostle Peter and My Brother Judas. After all you will understand why I call him brother.

One of the things that used to disturb my mental peace was seeing a person negatively criticizing Peter for denouncing Jesus for three times and make him the bad example, and Judas for having made that highly and noble act of betrayal; it seems like noble act and betrayal do not fit when they are joined to refer or point to one thing, but just be patient with me, and not forgetting Pharaoh whom according to the scriptures h ewas made by God for that very same purpose so that God’s glory could be manifested and known.

In such a matter one just needs to use what the late George Carlin termed as his “flawless logic”. I am not going to talk about the Apostle Peter’s situation neither Pharaoh's, but about Judas and I will use my analogy of darkness.

Since I am talking about Judas from the bible I will use biblical situations. As stated in the bible in the beginning when God created heaven and earth he called light into existence – 1 in the beginning God created heaven and earth. 2 and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 3 and the spirit of god moved upon the waters. 4 and God said let there be light: and there was light. 5 and God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from darkness.

from that alone we learn that darkness pre-existed light which I stand to reason that darkness was there all along with God and it had no beginning. Light would have not been light or should I just say it would have not been, with its delighting quality to the eyes, heart and mind if there was no darkness by which the elements or essence of light depend upon. According to the verse God saw that the light was good and that alone teaches that it was not good when darkness alone was there, meaning that that mere state could not produce that sort of goodness until the seed which was the word was spoke into the state of darkness which then as a result produced light. If we have to appreciate light should we not first try to learn about its cause and have high regard of all that enabled it to be? As a neophyte who is being initiated into some esoteric school and who first passed through some tough trials so as to be admitted into the first stage of initiation, will you forget what you went through and consider it null? Will you not honour that moment because it is what lead you to the point where you are now with that  abstruse knowledge?

We have established that and one can now say that it is of no necessity to go on and explain about the cause and all measures that behooved the establishment of the Christian faith through the sacrifice of the Christ. There would have not been the death of Christ which was necessary for the salvation if it was not for the betrayal from the man who I say served his rightful purpose. One might think that everything is possible with God and he was going to find a way to wait for man to do what they do best which is killing those that bring good news to the world especially to people who are in the lower strata of a society; well in that case I could talk about the one who would lead him to death if he was chosen by God to do that. What? Thus, Judas is justified who did what was right and appropriate to God and for those who got and get saved through the death of Christ. Man is for God and not the other way contrary, God made the laws and man was made to obey them, not to judge God or try to consider it corrupt of the person who God himself chose to serve a purpose and define and analyze God’s acts from man’s perspective of insufficient understanding in substantial and crucial matters such as this and the true nature of God.

So then in that situation the third party does not really fit only God and the person we consider being on the disadvantageous side. If one day one has to be judged based on the choices one has made through the faculty of the freewill which of Judas was violated if so to say for the greater good which only God can measure and ascribe the degree of its goodness, then does he still remain subject to that type of judgment which uses the deeds of the freewill as the criteria?

Would God be pleased with him if he disobeyed by not betraying Christ for the shekels that were as just predestined as all other parts of the situation which were in the grand plan? One may still think in his heart that the laws of God pertaining to that matter expected him (Judas) to have been in a certain position or state in his heart which wanted so much to exercise resistance to the desire that would have inevitably gotten in his heart, and by having such in his heart he would be considered faithful even after betraying. who knows if that was the case which he himself did not understand completely and that later lead him to murder himself and again as it was supposed to happen and that because the hand behind all that was powerful than any man’s power. But this was not clarified for us or should I say, it was not stated and then made plain for us in the scriptures, if we go beyond what was given to us in supernatural light or reason we would be trespassing. Do we remain indifferent to Judas’s position? Do we consider him evil? That should not be done; the former should not be the answer too. The question I gave in the example of the neophyte remains. will you disregard what lead you where you are when you love where you are?

Come reason and contribute O man.
