Judas made some wrong choices, and was so shocked at the outcome that he returned the money he had taken to betray Christ, and then killed himself. So how did he get to that point? The Bible says "Satan entered into hi...read more

I'm going to suggest a very alternative theory on the true reason that Judas may have betrayed Jesus. It's probably best to have faith in the very word that the bible says and not to second guess but there are many places ...read more
