Was Judas Good?

Was Judas Good?

Judas Iscariot was a man who, by temptation, turned in our Lord(Mark 14:43-45). Some argue that because of this, Judas was good for it led to the salvation of mankind; however, this is a poor understanding of the text. If Judas had turned Jesus in as to bring about this salvation at the correct time, this would have certain merits; however, this was not his reasoning. He rejected the Lord and received drachmae in return (Matthew 27:3-10). God's knowledge and use of the broken does not correlate to the sinner being good. God used the Devil to teach Job, yet the Devil still is considered corrupt, thus the same is to apply with Judas.
