Judas in hell?

[Kabowd]

Why would it have been better for him not to have been born, if his destiny was in heaven ultimately? And why would Jesus refer to him as being "doomed to destruction" if He would be with Him forever

It was better because of how he would be remembered and the guilt he would feel.

What about the second question?

[Jedi4Yahweh]

Basically, when he knew he was in trouble, he repented "himself".

I believe that we are all guilty of this to some level. I came to Christ because I was in trouble. I repented because I knew He was the only one who could save me. Judas could have been like the people who wanted Jesus dead. They watched Him die and not onces did they feel remorse about it. They never asked for forgiveness. Jesus Himself asked the Father for forgive for them.

God Bless You

I agree we all repent based on our knowlege of our sins. We just dont wake up one day and decide to repent. God usally leads you to repentance by convictiion, godly sorrow, and even distruction before we relize hey I need to repent.

I repented because I hit rock bottome and God made me relize that I was a sinner headed for hell and the conviction and burden of sin on my life was too heavy for me to carry. God made me understand that if I did not repent and turn to Him that I would die and go to hell.

And some of us have betrayed Jesus for a lot less then what Judas was rewarded for.

I don't know if Judas went to heaven or hell. It's an interesting question, but I'm satisfied that our Lord and Judge will know the right of it. I'm glad these things aren't my call!

A pastor at a church I used to attend years ago believes that Judas is in heaven because there is a scripture in Revelations that says something about the names of the 12 diciples are written somewhere...can't think of the scripture..would have to look it up.

However, some believe that although he was sorrowful that he still went to hell because He didn't seek forgivness from God...

It's a good question, but I think we'll have wait and see one day.

Not up to us to figure out I guess.

But - some lit trivia - according to Dante (in the Inferno), he's with Brutus in the worst part of Hell, which is reserved for traitors.

I think he probably is, but thankfully, it's not my call.

Yeah, and adulterers, which is basically the same thing as traitors, have the easiest punishment Wonder why...oh yeah, cause Dante was an adulterer

Judas is in hell.JESUS said about the one who would betray HIM,"Woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed!It had been good for him if he had not been born(Matt.26:24)."Doesnt sound like a promise of heaven to me.In John 17:12 JESUS said about HIS disciples,"I have kept in thy name those that thou gaveth me I have kept them,and none of them is lost ,but the son of perdiction(Judas).The son of perdiction means the son of destruction.

Matthias was selected to take Judas' place(Acts2:15-26).He was numbered with the original 11 disciples(which now was 12 again)

[larryt]

Ac 1:25  That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

Ac 1:16  Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

Ac 1:17  For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

Ac 1:18  Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

Ac 1:19  And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

Ac 1:20  For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

Joh 17:12  While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

2Th 2:3
