That's a heck of a "side question." Jesus called Judas and he responded so he couldn't have been completely empty. Unless he followed Jesus cause he thought it would get him chicks and money. Hmmm. I'll have to think about this again.

God definitely knew that His Son would be betrayed. Did he prepare Judas to be "hard hearted"? Didn't God "need" (so to speak) to have a Judas? Was Judas just playing his role? Can we hope that Judas repented of his role?

There are more questions than answers and it brings into play the whole predestination/free will thing.

The only thing I do know is this: a few years from now St Louis will join San Francisco and Dallas in the utterly ruined and spent (literally) franchises having to suck wind through a series of really bad years. Paying money to folks who don't even play anymore.

The Steelers, meanwhile, will be somewhere between 7-9 and 10-6 every year. And when they get the right confluence of events they might just surprise ya.

As a Mizzou grad I can hold no feelings of kindness towards Buffaloes or former Buffaloes, sorry Steven. I was on the goal line at the famous 5th-down game. We have seen the enemy, and their leader was McCartney (but is now Roy Williams).

No he did not repent! HE COMMITTED SUICIDE.
