Do you think Judas went to heaven or hell? Some believe he went to hell because he killed himself. Some think he went to heaven because he seemed to realize what he did was wrong.

Some aspects of the story of Judas are contradictory. All four evangelists number Judas among "the twelve" apostles. It is astonishing that Paul, the earliest Christian writer, does not mention Judas explicitly but does say in 1 Corinthians 15:5 when speaking of the resurrection of Jesus "that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve." Whenever the phrase "the Twelve" is used in New Testament scripture the meaning is very clear that the reference is to the original twelve apostles of Jesus. Paul implies here that Judas was a witness to the resurrection.
Note also in Acts 1:24-26 that Matthias, the replacement for Judas, was elected after the ascension and just before Pentecost and thus could not be counted as among "the twelve" as a resurrection witness.
Hi M-Bob, it also seems a very peculiar thing that one of God's elect would ever be referred to as "a devil" and/or as "the son of perdition", particularly by the Lord if it wasn't true I'm in agreement with you, I don't believe Judas died as a believer.I believe the Bible says somewhere that it would have been better if he was never born. Sounds like the hot place to me.

Hi Johnny, I know that Jesus was speaking about Judas when He called him "a devil", "the son of perdition", and "woe to the man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”And yet Jesus was speaking to Peter when He said "Get behind me, satan...." That said, I do understand there are major differences between Peter and Judas Iscariot. AND, if I were a betting man, I wouldn't be betting on Judas Iscariot being found in heaven. That being said, I will not be the one who asks God "who let him in here?" if God does. That is God's call. I am just going to be thankful for what He did for me and my house.
I'm sure he spent some time in hell.Do you think Judas went to heaven or hell? Some believe he went to hell because he killed himself. Some think he went to heaven because he seemed to realize what he did was wrong.
And now he's out? Is that possible .. Luke 16:23-26 (see v26 in particular)I'm sure he spent some time in hell.

I believe hell is the consequence of our sin, so repent.
I believe hell is the consequence of our sin. The remedy - repentance.There are no short visits.

If Judas was condemned to Hell when he died, that means he neither repented of his sins nor believed/trusted in Christ as his Savior. It also means that the time and opportunity to do so has passed for him .. cf Matthew 25:46; Luke 16:26; Revelation 14:11.I believe hell is the consequence of our sin, so repent.
That would be the commonly held belief.If Judas was condemned to Hell when he died, that means he neither repented of his sins nor believed/trusted in Christ as his Savior. It also means that the time and opportunity to do so has passed for him .. cf Matthew 25:46; Luke 16:26; Revelation 14:11.

As well the teaching of both Jesus and the Apostles .. again cf Matthew 25:46; Luke 16:26; Revelation 14:11. Perhaps that's why it is such a "commonly held belief"That would be the commonly held belief.

Very sorry to hear that about your cousin M-BobSeems that a Godly repentance is a gift of the Holy Spirit that not all receive.
My cousin claims to be a Christian and even led a recovery Bible class for several years. He seems to know nothing regarding finishing the good race or repentance.
His sin has caught up to him and it ain't too pretty. Maybe his next ministry will be behind bars?
