Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI sometimes wonder about Iscariot and his part in the N.T. story. Was his "betrayal kiss" an essential part of the capture and crucifixion?. If it was then perhaps Christian believers should see him as a saint because how could their saviour have died for them without Iscariots input?
No thanks...
No thanks, Mr. Arnold, Brutus, Iscariot, Quisling, etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundexactly, and according to the story Jesus knew all about it, because He told Judas"What you do, do quickly" Sounds kind of pre-arranged to me. I don't think the poor guy had a prayer, let alone a choice.
