665 | Why did God become a Man? | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 27119 | ||
Greetings Love Fountain! The three Bible translations that I have found that consistently adhere to or purposefully give much attention to capitalization of Deity are the NKJV, the NASB and the Amplified Bible. I believe that capitalization depends a great deal on the "purposes" of the translators. These three are the most diligent "capitalization" translations, especially the NKJV, when it comes to translation. However, I like the NASB's rendering the best (my opinion).. :-) Blessings to you, Nolan |

667 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 27864 | ||
Greetings martyr! The Bible says that Judas went to hell. "For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born." (Mark 14:21) "The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born." (Matthew 26:24) "Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me." (Psalm 41:9) "I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, "HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'" (John 13:18) "Jesus answered them, "Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?" (John 6:70) "Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." (John 13:10) "While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled." (John 17:12) "For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!" (Luke 22:22) This is "good Scriptural evidence" that Judas was not saved. Blessings to you, Nolan |

669 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 27967 | ||
Greetings Serenetime! You are responding to a post that I have written. John 17:12 is clearly describing Judas and 2 Thess. 2:3 is describing the antichrist. By using "son of perdition" here in John 17:12 as a reference to Judas, Jesus is making it all the more clear that Judas is destined for destruction, since this verse literally means "the son of destruction" and the word "them" in John 17:12 is clearly referring to the disciples, and Judas was clearly 'one of them'. In 2 Thess. 2:3, the antichrist will be the epitome of perdition and destruction, the same word being applied to him also, since he will exalt himself and even declare himself as God. In either case, by betraying God in the flesh with a kiss, or by exalting yourself as God, destruction will follow since God alone is the Supreme Ruler of this world. Nothing on this earth could ever help Judas deal with or remove his great remorse for what he had done, and he committed suicide because he could not bear the guilt of what he had done. Blessings to you, Nolan |

Greetings Love Fountain! In addition to kalos' posts, here is more evidence that Judas went to hell.. "For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born." (Mark 14:21) "The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born." (Matthew 26:24) "Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me." (Psalm 41:9) "I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, "HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'" (John 13:18) "Jesus answered them, "Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?" (John 6:70) "Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." (John 13:10) "While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled." (John 17:12) "For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!" (Luke 22:22) This is "good Scriptural evidence" that Judas was not saved. The person that is spoken of in John 17:12 is NOT the same person that is spoken of or referred to in 2 Thess. 2:3. The Ryrie Study Bible, the MacArthur Study Bible, the Zondervan Study Bible, the Disciple's Study Bible, the Believer's Study Bible, Adam Clarke's Commentary, Barnes' Notes on the NT, Nelson's Study Bible, Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary, and the Bible Knowledge Commentary all support the fact that John 17:12 is speaking of Judas and 2 Thess. 2:3 is speaking of the "man of lawlessness" or antichrist when they mention "the son of perdition." The reason that I did not respond more quickly to this NONSENSE that Judas somehow went to heaven and is saved or is equivalent to the person spoken of in 2 Thess. 2:3 is that I was preparing for Christmas and was extremely busy. Now I have responded, and now I have seen fit to refute this utter nonsense. Blessings to you, Nolan |

Greetings Steve Jones! I disagree, and nowhere in Scripture does it say that Judas ever repented of his sin. You say that Judas "MIGHT WELL HAVE CALLED..".. This is TOTAL and COMPLETE speculation on your part, since NOWHERE in Scripture does it say that he, in fact, did this! In all sincerity, Judas did not! He could not deal with his guilt over betraying the Son of God to death, and he hanged himself. The Bible never says that Judas repented of His sin. If Judas was able to repent, then why did Jesus, who knew the eternal destination of Judas before the creation of the world (John 6:70-71), say that "it would have been better if he would not have been born"?? (Matthew 26:24) If Jesus knew what Judas' eternal destination was, then why did He say this if He knew that Judas would be in heaven with Him? Jesus knew that Judas would go to hell. Also, if Judas truly repented and went to heaven, then why was a replacement sought for him in Acts 1:15-26? And why was Judas' homestead made 'desolate' (Psalm 69:25; 109:8; Acts 1:20)?? Would it not have stated something different in this Psalm if Judas went to heaven? And what was Judas' "own place" that was spoken of in Acts 1:25??? Surely you know, since you believe that Judas went anywhere but hell. You cannot reach the conclusion that Judas repented by citing that he returned the money and killed himself. He, in fact, did not repent, and there is nothing in Scripture that you can cite that would be "pretty strong evidence" that Judas MIGHT be in heaven. - Nolan |

Greetings Tim! Merry Christmas! I agree, in no way whatsoever does Matthew 27:5 support the notion that Judas repented for betraying the Son of God to death and was forgiven. I appreciate your insight, my friend, and I agree with you. Blessings to you, Nolan |

Greetings Steve Jones, I appreciate the clarity that you have tried to bring to your position, even though I continue to disagree. You see, Judas only felt regret for his action after Jesus was sentenced to death (Matthew 27:1-2). This is significant because it reveals that Judas was thinking that Jesus would miraculously escape while he got the bribe! But Jesus did not escape (to fulfill all Scripture), and Judas felt a great remorse and regret for his actions (because Jesus was, in fact, going to die)! This was not a remorse or sorrow that would lead to repentence (2 Cor. 7:10), since Judas killed himself before experiencing divine grace. If Judas truly felt a God-centered sorrow over the wickedness of his sin, then he would have repented immediately after the betrayal, not after Jesus' arrest, since the consequences of his action were not unexpected, even though they were horrifying. A "God-centered" remorse would have been a remorse from the very idea of putting the Son of God in danger at all! However, he only felt remorse after the Son of Man was sentenced to death. Also, if he had experienced divine grace, then why did he kill himself? Instead, Judas experienced a 'self-centered' sorrow over the painful consequences of his sin. Since the Son of Man was going to die, he was still more concerned about his well-being rather than that of the Son of Man. This passage illustrates the remarkable power of an awakened conscience! And since Judas' covetous heart trumped his duty as a disciple to love the Son of Man, the possession of his bribe so struck him in the heart that he could not use it or keep it any longer, but he could only throw it into the temple and kill himself. And this is the "self-centered" sorrow that leads to death (2 Cor. 7:10). Blessings to you, Nolan |

Greetings Tim! I do not believe that you and I are in any way "arrayed" against Steve at all, even though you and I seem to disagree with Steve about a singular point in Scripture, which is most common on such a medium as this Forum.. :-) Blessings to you, my friend, and I thank and appreciate you for your endless patience in such matters! Of course, you know that many (including myself) have gone as far as even "modeling" our posts (with a greeting, a body and a closing) after the example that you have established, and your constant excellent attitude (even in disagreements) is a most telling testimony! I sincerely believe that you are one of the very few that I know that know how 'not to lose' their patience when a disagreement arises! You are a constant refreshment on this Forum. Merry Christmas and blessings to you, my friend! Nolan |

Greetings Steve, Regardless of how many "excellent points" I make, I see that it is all done in vain, since you have obviously closed yourself to the conclusions that Tim, kalos and I have repeatedly come to, all which nicely coincide with each other. I suppose that we will just have to continue to disagree, since I believe that the Bible explicitly tells us the eternal destination of Judas, and you fail to recognize or acknowledge that, no matter how much work is put into it. - Nolan |

Excellent research Kalos! This series of 4 posts is very helpful in determining just what is meant by the Bible when it speaks of Judas in less than favorable tones.. I am in full agreement with everything that you have written, and I thank you for providing much hard work and depth of study, which is a trademark of your posts, and a "hallmark" of your continued diligence and clarity of thought. Blessings to you, my friend, and know that your efforts do not go unnoticed! :-) Nolan |

Greetings Steve, My intention was not to "bludgeon you into submission" with my point of view. I apologize, if my posts were received in that way. I am sincerely perplexed by your point of view since I have never encountered such an approach to Judas' fate.. My intentions are never to "bludgeon" anyone, and I apologize to anyone that may have ever felt this way, even though I do get a little "sore" whenever the Deity of Christ is questioned or whenever we deify anything on the same level as that of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I have no fervent desire to see anyone go to hell, including Judas. But I must respectfully disagree with you when you say that the Bible does not lead us to the conclusion of Judas' fate. In my opinion, the Bible gives us "ample" evidence as far as knowing for sure, one way or the other, where Judas' "place" was. But, you do not see it this way, and for that I do not condemn you or think of you any less as a brother in Christ. However, I continue to find myself in a different "camp" on this singular subject of Scripture, and to my knowledge, that is the only time that you and I have ever disagreed with each other on this Forum! :-) This is not something that will keep us from being friends, I hope, and I will continue to treat you with respect. I apologize if you felt that I was treating you less than repectfully through the tone of my posts. Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |

Greetings my friend, Yes, no damage here! :-) It is good to really get into the Bible and see what is really there.. I'm sure that I have viewpoints that may not be entirely correct, and need to be corrected, upon further study. So that is why I have to search to make sure that everything that I say can be backed up with Scripture. In result, we can gain a lot, even in our disagreements! :-) But of course, if Scripture does not say the same thing that I am saying, then it is I who have to change, since God's Word is perfect and preserved forever! Praise the Lord! Blessings to you, Nolan |
