God knows everything that will happen, everyone who will be born, when everyone will die, who gets sick, and who won't get a date for the highschool dance. He created us, and he knows what we will do. God knew that you would be reading this now. God knows who, where, and what you will be 20 years from now. He knows who will go to heaven and who will go to hell. God knew us before our great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents were born. He created us, he knows where we will end up. BUt he isn't the one who causes us to sin. He gives us two paths, the good and the bad, the path to Heaven and the path to Hell. He knows what path we will take, but he doesn't make us take it.

First it's not our place to say whether Judas is in hell or not,it's God's. Forgivness was offered even to him. But let's not forget God gave us all a freewill, Judas CHOSE to betray Christ. He could have given himself to the cause of Jesus at anytime just as the other 11 did. God knew that Judas would face the the temptation, but the outcome was up to Judas.

Did you know that there was a gospel according to Judas, and the church destroyed it? There are some fragments left - and Judas turns out to be a great saint who turned jesus in because jesus asked him to even though he knew everyone would hate him for it.
The idea of hell might not be correct too - it is a pagan concept that crept into christianity - early christians did not all agree on it. Some believed in reincarnation, but the church destroyed that idea too.
I think your question really points to reincarnation as the only sensible answer i can think of - that we are given a whole series of opportunities to live our lives, and eventually we get it right and get into heaven. How good God condemn any of us to hell?

Althohgh God knew us befor we wer born he does not cause us to sin, nor just because he has the sbility to foresee what we will turn out like, does not mena he hss to use thst ability of foreknowledge all the time ,god can be selective. We are born with choices
“The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9, 10) Wrong thoughts and desires start to fill the heart, triggering a deadly chain reaction. “But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.”—James 1:14, 15.
Judas was tempted and he let himself be led astray,just like people today the same can happen, God is not to blame

yes, God knew what judas would do. but is judas in hell? did he not ask for forgiveness before he hung himself. do you know what was in the heart of judas? only God knows these things. we are all the instruments of His will.

Judas never went to hell.
This is just a part of the christian popular fantasy.
In the christian thought frame you are born a sinner. The only way you can feel good about yourself is to find fault with others and judge them to be bad. If you do this then you have someone to feel better than so then you can feel good about your self.
A sad state of affairs.

ok, for the ppl who said judas had free will;
god 'created' him knowing that if he created him he would be sent to hell, yet chose to create him anyway to rot in hell for all eternity. great chap god must be. same with every other idiot who goes to hell, coz when deciding whether to create a person or not, god knows they're going to hell, yet creates them to rot in hell as well as make others miserable as well. great. just wonderful. he created u as well did he? probably meant u to rot in hell too. still praying?

That's the kind of games God likes to play.
1. He creates a devil who is supposed to be the source of all evil, but kills the people who participates in this evil and leaves the devil alone like with the (supposedly) flood of Noah.
2. He makes a gambling bet with the devil about Job to see if Job will deny him (God).
3. He sends Moses to tell a Pharaoh "Let MY People Go" but before Moses could go, he tells Moses that " I Will Harden Pharaoh's Heart So He Won't Let My People Go."
No More God games 4 me please.

how do you know judas will go to hell?
remember christians believe that jesus died for their sins.
doesnt that mean judas will not be punished?because jesus will be punished for it.
your question is a contradiction.
