He hung himself, no?

Suicide = Hell

So to answer your question: I don't know, only God does, if he even exists which I highly doubt.

I don't believe that just because someone hangs themself that automatically sentences him to hell. Someone could be so back slidden that it might drive them to suicide.

I do, however, think that you're right about only God knowing. There is nothing the the Bible that tells us otherwise.

Yes, he was.








No proof, no logical arguments, no data....just my belief.

How can you be so certain?

Jesus forgave all of those who took part in his crucifiction. Many christians seem to be troubled by the fact that judas may very well be in heaven and I don't know why. My parents and I discussed this som time agao, and my mother thinks he'll go to hell.

If you look at the story of the new testament, none of it would have been possible without Jesus and Judas. I'd say he played his part and met his destiny as he should. Should he be damned eternally for leading the act that Christians would consider the salvation of the world?

Then read Matthew 27:3-4 and tell me what that's supposed to mean then.

What part about it? The part where it said he repented?

I don't know.

I just am....the God I worship is like doG to me...God is ever faithful and loving, willing to let go of transgressions and be joyful in the moment. I believe in healing and reconciliation between people and between people and God.

Judas repented although he then killed himself which religious institutions will say is "sinful". My God is greater than that, That is people's need to control and judge. God desires us, loves us passionately without conditions or limitations. Frankly, that is a bit beyond (a universe and a bit) my ability to comprehend but it is what my heart believes.

We had a thread not too long ago on Judas: http://www.redhotpawn.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=25266

He repented so what does that mean

Yes

Do you have a verse for that?

Any of you guys heard of a place called Gehenna.? Judas is hanging out there.

"Hanging?" No pun intended right?

Pun was intended. But not literally hanging. He has been destroyed in gehenna. everlasting destruction.
