I've read that the Copt and the Judas Origen, despite that he is a traitor to us, is called holy. You know why? What do you think are motives have been Judas to betray Jesus?

I believe that Jesus has not even pushed into it, to betray him. then why should he have taken the lives later! one main factor was sure that he has simply lost faith in Jesus simply un. and he also began to criticize Jesus for this and that. with fatal consequences for him and Jesus. regards

Jesus said - to know about God - "You worship what you do not know, we worship what we know", and - talking about the effect of praying the Word of God to his disciples, he - "Sanctify them in truth: your Word is truth ". So, you know the truth?

Second question's easy. His motive was money. Says so in the Bible... he betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. No I don't know why Judas Iscariot would be considered holy in some doctrines, and I've never heard of that sect you mention... never heard of any religion referring to him as sacred. I know in some Catholic traditions he's considered scum of the scum, and in Dante's Inferno he was eaten headfirst by Lucifer. Not that Dante's Inferno is a holy book. lol I'm a non-denominational Christian, and for the most part I just ignore Judas Iscariot. He's not holy or horribly unholy to me.

Hard to say whether the story really is true, but remember that without this alleged betrayal and the ensuing result would be no Christianity today events. Well, actually, the poor guy had to do a job (and follow the story, Jesus has been previously known and also not prevented) and has paid a high price, namely the thousands of years of contempt from people who do not know and never knew.

When it comes to the Saint Jude Thaddeus is (at least I have found when googling), then it is an act of the other disciples of Jesus, not Judas Iscariot. By the way Origen did Judas Iscariot to be sacred, but he had an anti-Semitic attitude and probably more often said things that were not appropriate.
