You know, for the longest time, Judas wasn't condemned for having betrayed Yeshoua ben Joseph, seeing as how it was necessary for the plan, redemption of all the sins etc. Especially since he tossed the money away, thus showing remorse, which was a very Christian thing to do and the sort of thing to allow redemption for your sins and a place in Paradise. Rather, he was considered damned because he commited suicide, back in the good ol' days when the punishment for attempted suicide was death.
