1 | Jesus knew.......... | John 13:11 | myah | 41749 | ||
I have a question and I'm not quite sure if its appropriate to ask. I was watching the History channel last night and they had a special on Judas Iscariot. I've always had a question about the betrayal. In John 13, Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him. Judas did exactly what Jesus said one of his disciples was going to do. If Judas was born for that purpose to betray Jesus so he could die for us, does that mean that Judas went to heaven or hell because he fulfilled what had to be done for our salvation? Or am I thinking too hard about this situation? | ||||||
2 | Jesus knew.......... | John 13:11 | kalos | 42321 | ||
Smith's Bible Dictionary NASB Acts 1:25 "to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." AMPLIFIED Acts 1:25 To take the place in this ministry and receive the position of an apostle, from which Judas fell away and went astray to go [where he belonged] to his own [proper] place. ************* Robertson's Word Pictures of the New Testament "To his own place (eiB ton topon ton idion). A bold and picturesque description of the destiny of Judas worthy of Dante's Inferno. There is no doubt in Peter's mind of the destiny of Judas nor of his own guilt. He made ready his own berth and went to it." (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/RobertsonsWordPictures/) ************* John Wesley's Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible 1:25 Fell - By his transgression - Some time before his death: to go to his own place - That which his crimes had deserved, and which he had chosen for himself, far from the other apostles, in the region of death. (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/WesleysExplanatoryNotes/) ************* Easton's Bible Dictionary 'He perished in his guilt, and "went unto his own place" (Acts 1:25 ).' (http://www.biblestudytools.net/Dictionaries/EastonBibleDictionary/) ************* Smith's Bible Dictionary Ju’das Iscar’iot The end of Judas. -- (1) Judas, when he saw the results of his betrayal, "repented himself." (Matthew 27:3-10) He saw his sin in a new light, and "his conscience bounded into fury." (2) He made ineffectual struggles to escape, by attempting to return the reward to the Pharisees, and when they would not receive it, he cast it down at their feet and left it. (Matthew 27:5) But, (a) restitution of the silver did not undo the wrong; (b) it was restored in a wrong spirit, --a desire for relief rather than hatred of sin; (c) he confessed to the wrong party, or rather to those who should have been secondary, and who could not grand forgiveness; (d) "compunction is not conversion." (3) The money was used to buy a burial-field for poor strangers. (Matthew 27:6-10) (4) Judas himself, in his despair, went out and hanged himself, (Matthew 27:5) at Aceldama, on the southern slope of the valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem, and in the act he fell down a precipice and was dashed into pieces. (Acts 1:18) "And he went to his own place." (Acts 1:25 ) "A guilty conscience must find neither hell or pardon." (5) Judas’ repentance may be compared to that of Esau. (Genesis 27:32-38; Hebrews 12:16,17) It is contrasted with that of Peter. Judas proved his repentance to be false by immediately committing another sin, suicide. Peter proved his to be true by serving the Lord faithfully ever after. --ED.) (http://www.biblestudytools.net/Dictionaries/SmithsBibleDictionary/) |

Dear savant, Thank you for you response and welcome to the forum. I realize this is a public forum, but my question is for kalos. Unless kalos changed his name? Savant, do you forgive Judas for delivering up Jesus? Why do you say it's not your place to forgive Judas? Bless you, Love Fountain |

6 | Do you forgive Judas? | John 13:11 | Makarios | 42783 | ||
Greetings Love Fountain, I see that you have asked two questions to Savant, who gave an excellent response, but I believe that one could also be asked of you.. Just what exactly do you endeavor to gain by continuing to champion the cause that Judas somehow went to heaven? - Makarios |
