What does Judas really mean?

123 1
123
Alright, so "Judas" is a word that comes from the Bible, and it's often used to describe someone who betrays someone else, usually a friend or a close person. You know, like when you tell a secret to someone, and then they go and tell everyone else? That's a kind of betrayal. It's like being a friend on the outside, but not being a friend on the inside.

But "Judas" can also be used to describe someone who is disloyal or treacherous in general, not just in religious or historical contexts. It's like if you have a group project at school, and someone doesn't do their fair share of the work. That's a kind of betrayal too, because that person is not being loyal to the group.

So, when we say someone is a "Judas," we mean they're not being a good friend or a trustworthy person. Does that make sense?
