Subject: Judas went to hell? |
Bible Note: Greetings, It's interesting how alot of folks are saying that Judas went to hell. Judas betrayed, and Peter denied thrice, and the disciples forsook Jesus. The word, betrayed means in going back to the original greek is #3860, to surrender, yield up, intrust, deliver up, bring forth, etc. The word ,deny is#533, to deny utterly, disown, abstain, disavow, reject. Forsook is #863, to send forth in various applications, forsake, lay aside, leave, suffer, yield up. You will notice that both betrayed and forsook say yield up. My point is Peter denied Jesus thrice, and the disciples while in Gethsamene when they laid hands on Jesus to kill him, forsook Jesus, and Judas delivered up Jesus, and then gave the silver back and it says he said I have sinned and betrayed innocent blood, and repented himself. Common sense will tell you that if Judas was so utterly condemned for what he did and was sent to hell, which I haven't seen in scripture yet, then Peter should have been condemned as well ands all the disciples too. In Luke and Acts both it says he fell headlong and burst asunder, and all his bowels gushed out, and Matthew says he hanged himself. Because there are differences and not clear if he hung himself or did he fall headlong, he was most definitely killed, because you can't fall headlong (head first) and gut yourself wide open all on your own while falling head first. 2Sam.17:23 is the second witness in comparison to "hanged himself" Because they all denied, betrayed, and forsook him. When Jesus was on the cross suffering and in agony where were the disciples? Hiding in some room somewhere afraid that they would be killed also. The only one's that supported him were the women. But remember the women prepared him for this time. Remember the woman with the alabaster box of ointment. The Disciples complained that she was wasting it on him when she anointed Jesus head and feet and wiped his feet with her hair. They wanted to sell it. She was preparing him for his crucifiction, and still the disciples denied him and just didn't get it. Also in the garden of Gethsemane he asked the disciples to watch and pray with him, I mean he was exceeding sorrowful and needed comfort and he didn't get nothing from any of them, and they were asleep all three times. And when talking how Judas and his flimsy repentance. He just wasn't sorrowful enough for what was happening to Jesus. I believe he did by first admitting his sin and throwing the thirty pieces of silver back to the priests ,was like when we repent.Recognizing our faults first is so important and are remorseful and ask for forgiveness. So, I believe that Judas was not sent to hell and that all are the same in God's eyes, and He is no respecter of person's. They was no favor here, wouldn't you agree? For who are we to judge?
