ps i am a christian btw

MATT19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

he said that the tewlve will be therer that includes judas

Answer 1

Judas betrayed Jesus to be killed for their sins. If Judas hadn't done so, the crucifixion would never have taken place, thus no modern religion very loosely based on his life and teachings.

There have been many people throughout history and even today who are/were much worse off than Judas so it doesn't make sense to single him out. But he is the most popular, being that he knew Jesus personally. And alot of them feel the need to be self-righteous by choosing a scapegoat.

Answer 2

None of us know who does or doesn't go to heaven or hell. Jesus will be the judge at judgment, and He will judge with His heart. I've always felt that Judas was just as repentive as anyone else, maybe even more so, so its very possible He'll be right up there with Him.

On the other hand, after the crucifiction, they replaced Judas, so it doesn't necessarily mean that he's one of the 12. That's something that we simply don't know.

You need to remember, after Jesus was killed in such a horrible manner, the diciples all blamed Judas, and their anger comes out very strong in the new testament. I really think they were so angry, they didn't care whether he repented or not. I think Judas got a very raw deal in the new testament. It was men who wrote it, men who spoke with the diciples, so while they bible is completely influenced by God, some parts of their individual feelings come out.

Answer 3

There's a difference between being sorry for what you did or being sorry for the mess it got you in. Judas was the latter - he was only sorry for the mess. And where is it stated that Judas will be in heaven? And no, Jesus was the Savior regardless of what Judas did...

Regarding the Matt verse: Jesus' promises are conditional upon humans' choice. Judas could have chosen to be in heaven, but God isn't going to force anyone to be there that doesn't want to be.
You can read in Acts 1:12-26 how Judas got replaced.

Answer 4

Mat 27:3 -
Then Judas, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself - This shows that Judas did not suppose that the affair would have resulted in this calamitous manner. He probably expected that Jesus would work a miracle to deliver himself, and not suffer this condemnation to come upon him. When he saw him taken, bound, tried, and condemned - when he saw that all probability that he would deliver himself was taken away - he was overwhelmed with disappointment, sorrow, and remorse. The word rendered “repented himself,” it has been observed, does not of necessity denote a change “for the better,” but “any” change of views and feelings. Here it evidently means no other change than that produced by the horrors of a guilty conscience, and by deep remorse for crime at its unexpected results. It was not saving repentance. That leads to a holy life this led to an increase of crime in his own death. True repentance leads the sinner to the Savior. This led away from the Savior to the gallows. Judas, if he had been a true penitent, would have come then to Jesus; would have confessed his crime at his feet, and sought for pardon there. But, overwhelmed with remorse and the conviction of vast guilt, he was not willing to come into his presence, and added to the crime of treason that of self-murder. Assuredly such a man could not be a true penitent.

As for your comment on the 12 watching the twelve tribes, it would be helpful if you provided book, chapt, and verse. I would think that Jesus, in His foreknowledge, knew that Judas would betray Him and be replaced, which he was.

You have much to learn yet, young one.

Answer 5

I never said Judas is in hell. No one knows where Judas went, theoretically, if he died after Jesus, and repented his sins, then he would be forgiven and allowed into heaven. I don't know why you have heard so many christians say that, but that shouldn't be an excuse to stereotype christians, thinking they all think that. Obviously you don't think that, so not all christians think that either.

Answer 6

stay calm and comprehend that the Bible teaches us that while you're sorry and ask forgiveness it is granted from God. it is asserted Jesus loves each and every persons, place self belief in that and do your best to forgive your self once you falter. you will desire to love God and love your self before you are able to circulate on out of your sin. once you fail at something it is user-friendly to declare "properly, there i bypass. what's the component of attempting." yet you mustn't supply in. One slip up shouldn't condemn a individual. it relatively is no longer common to bypass previous the enticements, yet attempt to take it one step at a time. initiate with the aid of putting down the cigarette next time or no longer ending the drink. notwithstanding it is you will desire to do God is stable there waiting so you might call on him for help. purely pray once you're susceptible and compliment God once you have a fulfillment, no remember how small, as a results of fact the capability to beat has come from him. No offense, yet you at the instant are not likely to discover salvation on an internet answer board. Get a bible, take a seat, and look at. Take it as you examine it. no you will show you how to comprehend what's in the Bible, definitely, as a results of fact it holds something diverse for each individual. Scriptures, written with the aid of guy, are interpreted with the aid of each and every human in a various way. once you're nevertheless having doubts bypass to Church, Temple, or the place ever and communicate to somebody there. don't be embarrassed approximately who you're, yet only what you have accomplished. you do no longer would desire to concern forgiveness and you'd be as stable and worth as you opt for to be with God.
