Subject: Judas went to hell? |
Bible Note: Dear Serenetime, Happy New Year and thank you for the enlightening posts you have submitted on this thread. I have been reading and watching this post and feel within my heart and soul to pursue the truth into the matter at hand,"Judas went to hell". Many seem to easily accept that Judas is indeed in hell through implications in Scripture and opinions of Scholars in commentaries, but the fact still remains that Scripture doesn't say," Judas went to hell". I agree with you," for who are we to judge?", as I am without a doubt a sinner and by no right do I claim anything above a sinners rightful place, but through repentance and an ever increasing search for perfect love through the Word of Truth I feel the need to show ourselves approved to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit by rightly dividing the Words of Truth and getting to the truth about Judas. I am extending an invitation to you so that we can both grow in the Truth. What do you think? I believe this should be done by two so there is a second witness, according to Scripture. I will use the KJV so we can communicate with the Strongs, as it appears you already do but I will sometimes refer to my NIV for easier reading, I hope you have one of these too. Please let me start this inquisition by going to the witness', I believe this is the place to start. Matt 26:3,4 -(3) Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,(4) And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty(guile), and kill Him.(KJV) Matt 26:3,4 - (3) Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,(4) and they plotted to arrest Jesus in some sly way and kill him.(NIV) In the above verses they are assembling to talk about Jesus and how they can deceitfully scheme to arrest and kill Jesus. These also are the individuals that strike an agreement with Judas and are the firsthand witness' to Judas' betrayal and this is a great place for us to start our search for the truth. Did Judas truly have intentions of hurting Jesus or was he set up as a victim of deceit? To be continued........... Bless you, Love Fountain Eph 4:15,16 |
