It definitely is not a fact that Jesus transpired with Judas to betray him. If it was a transpired plot then why should he have regretted later and committed suicide throwing away the coins he had received to betray Jesus. Instead,the fact is that Jesus knew beforehand and in accordance to the prophecies that Judas would betray Him. Jesus even testified this before Judas and the other disciples in the last supper(as recorded in the Gospels). However, by then, Judas was determined and ofcourse destined too. Jesus also foreknew that Peter would deny Him and that all His disciples would run away when He as their Shepherd would be arrested to be sacrificed on the cross, bearing the sins of the whole world.

Yes Jesus Christ came definitely to die for the sins of the world without we would have no salvation. It's fortunate at this time, there is such a big debate over this issue. It is for each one to accept what is in the Bible or to reject it. I would prefer to accept what is mentioned in the Bible(NIV version) There is a big change in the catholic Bible as well. In this world there is so much of immorality; instead of repenting we have time for such issues.
