"God used Judas and Balaam's donkey to further His will also."

All men are flawed, even you. That is precisely why Jesus left us a Church with the Paraclete to guide it.

We do not have a doctrine of "Qadar" or "divine fore-ordainment" in Christian theology compelling sin. That is a Muslim concept. Judas' actions were not caused by God, He knew what they would be and He permitted the exercise of freewill to serve His plan for Salvation.

Acts 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them

Don't try to give me that snow job the Catholic Church uses to usurp authority. The Holy Spirit is given to true believers individually to guard against the nicolaitan power grab of organizations like the Catholic Church.
