1 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | Aliennow | 160470 | ||
Kalos, I am still confused about Judas. I see now that according to John he was not a believer. John 6:63-64 ""'The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe.' For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him." But if Christ already knew that Judas would betray him then Judas would not have had free will and therefore could not have avoided betraying Jesus. If I understand Matthew 27:3-4 "When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." It seems to me by admitting his sin he did repent. Also if Judas was sent to hell for his betrayal, and it was necessary for the saving death of Christ, then why is Judas suffering for saving humanity. If he is in hell then it seems he would be suffering more for humanity. Thanks, Aliennow |

Judas is not in hell to save humanity. ONLY JESUS, the one perfect sacrifice, saves and does so by His blood ALONE. Judas is not suffering in hell for humanity. He is suffering for [on account of] HIS OWN SINS. More to come. Grace to you, Kalos |
