1 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | stjones | 28589 | ||
Hi, Radioman; There are people who grow up believing that the Bible says God helps those who help themselves. ;-) Don't you suppose that if God wanted us to know Judas' fate he would have revealed it in unequivocal language? Instead the Bible says (1) it was Satan acting in Judas and (2) Judas repented (or felt remorse, depending on the translation). This is the message of the plain text. There is no passage anywhere in the Bible that says with similar clarity "Judas was condemned" or "Judas didn't really repent" or "Judas went to hell". I appeal to everyone weighing in on this question to consider Augustine's admonition "In Essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, love." If knowledge of Judas' fate were essential in God's eyes, I am confident that he would have come right out and said it through one of the NT writers. There is room for sincere Christians who study and believe the Bible to disagree on this. There is no point in choosing up sides and beating each other up or insulting one another over this. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. John 17:12. In this verse Judas is called the son of perdition. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thess 2:3. In this verse the anti-Christ is called the son of perdition. |
