Since Jesus predicts his death and Judas' betrayal, doesn't this mean that fate exists in the christian worldview? Wouldn't this mean that even god is controlled by fate?

That's the best way to understand what I'm about to say. There's no fate, there's only God's will, one can follow God's will or one can go against it, but God always had, has and will have the last word.

The moment you start asking the real questions, all the "holy men" and their flock start folding, evading, doing mental acrobatics. To them, truth is secondary to the blind comfort of belief, always has been, no matter their efforts to make it seem otherwise.

It was Jesus Christ's fate to be crucified and condemned by His own people, but it was Jesus choice to go through with it. Prior to His death, He is known to be praying in a garden and saying to God if it is possible, to please excuse Him from what is going to happen to Him, but He ultimately says "not mine, but your will be done." Meaning, Jesus Christ could've easily not have gone through with it, but ultimately He did because He was a selfless and compassionate individual and knew that God's will is what is for the best.

“If only my grief could be weighed
and placed with my calamity on the scales.

For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas—
no wonder my words have been rash.

For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me;
my spirit drinks in their poison;
the terrors of God are arrayed against me.

Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass,
or an ox low over its fodder?

Is tasteless food eaten without salt,
or is there flavor in the white of an egg?

My soul refuses to touch them;
they are loathsome food to me.

If only my request were granted
and God would fulfill my hope:
that God would be willing to crush me,
to unleash His hand and cut me off!"

///

"Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

“Now brace yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall inform Me.

Would you really annul My justice?
Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?

Do you have an arm like God’s?
Can you thunder with a voice like His?
Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,
and clothe yourself with honor and glory.
Unleash the fury of your wrath;
look on every proud man and bring him low.
Look on every proud man and humble him;
trample the wicked where they stand.
Bury them together in the dust;
imprison them in the grave.

Then I will confess to you
that your own right hand can save you."

The idea of god is logically flawed, but Christians claim that god is above logical contradictions as well. This means that god is technically beyond the scope of arguments and discussions. It's a waste of time. Nothing needs to be said about it, because like a comic book hero, it can be whatever you want it to be, it can fit any mold, escape any contradiction: "BECAUSE!".
