Avoiding the Judas Complex

Isn't easy to understand Judas, or without peril to try. He has been unsparingly denounced, even by unbelievers. But such an horrendous disaffection couldn't occur in a vacuum. From the viewpoint of Judas, he had, at the time, what seemed logical reasons for his decision. From disapproval, to disaffection, to alienation, to final betrayal he went, confident of his attitude and of Christ's ineptitude. That he later regretted his action is beside the point. At the time, he felt justified in betraying Jesus. Only in the after-experience of the arrest and trial did Judas rethink his actions. Judas was an intelligent man who certainly knew, in the end, he had bungled his privilege. He thought his life couldn't get any worse if he stopped believing in the Lord, then he found out it could and did!Hurley, Virgil is the author of 'Avoiding the Judas Complex' with ISBN 9781582750668 and ISBN 1582750661.
