The Lord Jesus Christ said to the woman, caught in Adultery’ “Go and sin no more” and was truth and grace personified.
And the current culture has twisted it into “Go and sin some more”.
That interpretation of Judas is only found in movies like King of Kings and Jesus of Nazareth. The gospels never explain the cause of Judas' betrayal other than to say "Satan entered him" and that he was payed with 30 pieces of silver.
In another thread here, someone posted the question "Was Jesus a community organizer?". I wrote that He was not; but that maybe Judas thought He was. The episode where Judas complains that the oil used on Jesus' feet could have been used to raise money for the poor potentially shows that Judas saw Jesus as some sort of community organizer and advocate for the people and that he betrayed Him because he did not believe He was God.

Nah, I think they have a pretty good idea of what they're doing.
