That's an ignorant statement.

Being chosen as one of the twelve apostles didn't mean they attained infallibility or possessed it within themselves. Every one of the apostles was a flawed individual. Jesus had to admonish the faithful ones to keep their egos in check right up until the very end of his life. He even once referred to Peter as "Satan!"

Any one of them could have betrayed him, but in the end, only one did (and it only took one). But that wasn't because Jesus made the wrong choice, it was because Judas Iscariot blew it for himself by -- in the words of James -- losing control of his desire, and letting it turn to sin.
