Subject: Judas went to hell? |
Bible Note: Greetings Serenetime! You are responding to a post that I have written. John 17:12 is clearly describing Judas and 2 Thess. 2:3 is describing the antichrist. By using "son of perdition" here in John 17:12 as a reference to Judas, Jesus is making it all the more clear that Judas is destined for destruction, since this verse literally means "the son of destruction" and the word "them" in John 17:12 is clearly referring to the disciples, and Judas was clearly 'one of them'. In 2 Thess. 2:3, the antichrist will be the epitome of perdition and destruction, the same word being applied to him also, since he will exalt himself and even declare himself as God. In either case, by betraying God in the flesh with a kiss, or by exalting yourself as God, destruction will follow since God alone is the Supreme Ruler of this world. Nothing on this earth could ever help Judas deal with or remove his great remorse for what he had done, and he committed suicide because he could not bear the guilt of what he had done. Blessings to you, Nolan |
