No. God KNEW Judas would betray Him, however, God did not MAKE Judas betray Him.At what point in time was Judas' destiny sealed?
IOW when did God figure out that Judas would betray him if given the opportunity?
And if God knew, then why did God give him the opportunity? Why not prevent it?
Finally: Why did Jesus choose Judas?

At what point in time was Judas' destiny sealed?
When he killed himself, ruling out any possibility of him repenting.
IOW when did God figure out that Judas would betray him if given the opportunity?
GOD KNEW and KNOWS
And if God knew, then why did God give him the opportunity? Why not prevent it?
Ah, now you question God's motives. Why does God not prevent any and all calamities? Why does God not ensure that every Christian lives a happy and joyous life and never doubts?
Finally: Why did Jesus choose Judas?
I don't know -- do you? Why did Jesus choose Peter or Andrew?
