The most difficult thing for a person to understand is morality and morality. Let's try to understand what it is. Morality is the rules that people and society as a whole establish. According to the implementation of these norms, society evaluates a person. Morality is the internal principles that a person establishes for himself. These two kinds of rules often don't match.
So what is betrayal? This is an act of a person that undermines the trust shown in him. The purpose of betrayal is to use the other as a means to achieve one's personal needs. Most often, speaking about this immoral and immoral act, they recall the betrayal of Judas, which entailed the tragic fate of Jesus Christ. The name of the latter has become a household name, and his kiss and payment of 30 coins is a symbol of deceit and treason.
Probably many of us know well what betrayal is. Few people themselves have never betrayed anyone, perhaps by accident, due to frivolity, due to an unfortunate combination of circumstances or a mistake. Others are well aware of the pain experienced as a result of such an impartial act of the closest people, trust in whom was endless, as in themselves, and on whom a lot depended.
Let's try to figure out what betrayal is. What forces a person to go against his morality? If it is committed in the conditions of hostilities, in a dramatic, dangerous situation, then betrayal is the only way to stay alive and save yourself from physical torture, dooming you to moral suffering. More often, the reason becomes a more mundane and vulgar reason - not to create unnecessary trouble for yourself. Well, and quite often occurring reasons - career, money, social status, and so on.
Can a person who knows what betrayal forgive Judas? What is possible to forget, and what is not? There may be many questions. For example, if I forgive, will I be forgiven? If yes, what exactly? No one can answer these questions and guarantee justice.
From a human point of view, there are unforgivable betrayals and deeds for which it is simply not morally possible to ask for forgiveness. But what these actions are depends on many, many circumstances of place, time, and so on.
But if we consider these issues from the evangelical point of view, then any betrayal, even the most serious one, can be forgiven. And the traitor should not count on the remission of his sin, but he can hope. Since Jesus, by his tragic fate, has already redeemed everythingour unrighteous deeds, our task is only to repent, that is, to change internally and no longer commit them. Biblical teaching is based on these truths.
For Judas, the results of his act are no less painful than the agony of a person betrayed by him. If the villain has repented and is choking with shame (especially when the consequences are grave and irreversible), is there any consolation for him? Christianity says that for a person with an atheistic consciousness, it is difficult and almost impossible to find consolation. Such a traitor usually defends himself from the inner pain that tears him apart with cynicism, aggression, or falls into depression. These people often commit direct suicide or gradual: they start using drugs or alcohol. Both the traitor and his victim can choose the same path of treatment for their mental pain. Moreover, it is due to national tradition.
For a religious person, mental pain can be relieved by the knowledge that consolation is possible. And if he caused the death of a person, then Christianity teaches that the soul of the victim is alive. Therefore, a traitor can beg for the salvation of this soul, thereby taking care of his own. In addition, a repentant Judas can help the family of the deceased by any means available to him.
