1 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | stjones | 27999 | ||
Hi, Tim; Please see my (lengthy) response to Nolan. Peter's sin was vastly different from Judas' so I don't think they can be equated. I agree that Judas' actions after realizing what he had done seem wrong, but I don't see how he could have known what was right. He couldn't ask Jesus; he dared not go to the disciples, the religious leaders had betrayed him ("What do we care?") and until Jesus, everything he knew about God had come from them. As I said in the original post, I just don't know and I can't see that the Bible provides a definitive answer. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Greetings Steve! I hope Nolan and I are not arrayed against you! ;-) I don't want to be dogmatic about whether or not Judas truly repented or not. Is it possible? Yes! I just don't think that he did for several reasons. 1) The descriptions of him in Scripture. 2) His betrayal of Christ. (He may not have fully understood his actions, but he surely knew that he was condemning Christ to death.) 3) His actions at the temple. 4) His suicide. These points combined lead me to believe that Judas did not truly repent. I do believe however that Jesus would and could have forgiven him! Merry Christmas my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Merry Christmas, Tim; At least one day we'll know one way or the other. It's certainly nothing important enough to come between friends. It's almost a hobby with me to imagine (without contradicting Scripture) a God who is bigger and more surprising than I thought. I figure no matter what I come up with, my brain is still way too small to contain him. It helps keep me from thinking that I have him figured out. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
