Anyway, if God is omniscient he anyway knew and thus sacrificed Judas, right? Sorry. But you should think about it one day.
I want to eventually get to the other points you brought up, Nogrod, because they're really interesting, but for now let me just mention this verse, which is germane to the Judas discussion: "The Son of Man goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that if he had never been born." (Jesus speaking, in the book of Mark, chapter 14, verse 21.) Enjoy.
