Was Judas predestined to betray Jesus and in so doing go to Hell? What choice did he have?
Regardless of the answer to this question we have to believe that, if we were to have the same wisdom, the same perspective, and the same perfect mercy and justice that the Lord has, we would agree with His explanation.
What choice did he have?
The exact same choice we all have - just say no to sin.

We get into a Mobius strip of an circular argument when we get into predestination vs. foreknowledge. The Bible infers we always have a choice even if the language suggests different. God hardened Pharoahs heart is an example. I’m better off worrying about MY soul and leave Judas’s to Gods Judgement.
