Bible Question: Did Judas go to Hell or Heaven? This is a discussion I have had with my youth. Judas died before Jesus. |
Bible Answer: fsufitz, I find the study of Judas life an interesting one of contrast. Though scripture never explicitly says that Judas was a believer( or not) or that he when to Heaven or Hell, we can surmise a bit. I conclude from what we know about him from scripture, his life does not exemplify the behavior or descriptions of a true believer.( John 6:70-71, 12:6, and 13:2, 27). I see him as one descibed best by 1 John 2:19 "They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us." Most telling in my estimation is the portrayal in Matt. 26 and 27. I particularly note 27:3-5: "Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to that yourself! And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself." If we compare this to 2 Cor. 7:10, I think the point is further driven home: "For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death." Does not Judas hanging himself exhibit "the sorrow of the world?" By contrast we see Peter in Matt 26:75 "weeping bitterly" and showing true repentance- he goes on to be mightly used and preaches at Pentecost in Acts 2. My conclusion is that Judas was not a "true believer", though he was an Apostle. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
