Re: Why then and not now?
It is possible the CDs I'm getting around to sending you may offer an answer to your questions, but I'm going to have to listen back to them myself before sending them.

apparant contradiction
Off-topic I know...but
Satan is certainly God's servant, required to do only what God wills. This does not let Judas off the hook any more than anybody else who does the will of Satan rather than God.
If satan is gods servant and only does god's will, then anyone who does satan's will is doing god's will as it is the will of god. And if the person doing satan's will is helping god accomplish god's will, then how can it be bad?
which, I believe is the underlying aspect of the Judas claim. Judas is helping jesus accomplish the goals of god by 'submitting' to satan. Judas is presenting himself as the ultimate scapegoat.

Re: apparant contradiction
I think the Judas claim is slightly more than that. It's that Judas was doing GOD's will through Jesus.

Re: apparant contradiction
anyone who thinks jesus could have been offered for our sins without what judas did is lying to himself. judas did as he was required.

Re: apparant contradiction
Anybody whose will is bad is at odds with God and deserving of punishment even if God permits his action. Throughout the Bible it is shown that God is behind all actions, such as the actions of the armies of Israel's enemies against Israel -- yet it is always promised that they will be punished in their turn for their eagerness to destroy Israel. Turning Jesus into the authorities to be whipped and beaten and crucified is a bad will, and Satan knew Jesus was the Son of God (from the temptation in the desert) so it was a bad will against God Himself. Judas had no idea Jesus would rise from the dead. Satan didn't either -- or he would never have had him crucified.

Didn't Jesus himself tell the apostles that he would Rise from the dead?

'After I am risen again'....
Jesus talks about drinking with them in Heaven, but in Matthew 26 he seems to talking about an earthly resurrection:
Mat 26:32 writes:
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee
Mark 14:28 says a similar thing.

Re: 'After I am risen again'....
I'm way too rusty on bible quotes, but seem to remeber him mentioning something about it at the same time he said that one among them would betray him.
of, course.. I could be wrong.

Re: apparant contradiction
He gave them many hints but they didn't understand them. They only understood them after the fact.
ABE: More explicitly than that, He told them that he would die but they simply didn't believe him. It took them by surprise.

Re: 'After I am risen again'....
Matthew 26 and Mark 14 are both the Last Supper where Jesus tells them of the imminent betrayal.
