Even Jesus said that Judas was his instrument, that it was God's plan. So is Judas in heaven even if he hung himself?

I think he is. He truly felt bad for what he did. He tried to make the people to take his silver back. He was very regretful and I think he is with Jesus now. Of course, that is just my opinion.

Whether Judas found heaven yet or not is of little importance. He still has the same opportunity to repent and overcome the world as you and I. For some I would imagine that the purification process would (could) take a very long time, before they were trusted with heaven descending upon their thought.

Well, let's just say that this little fantasy world you call "heaven" exists. Did Judas do what God wanted him to do? If so, how can he be held accountable? Or was Judas the real sacrifice in this story? God planned all along that Judas would be sacrificed to do the deed and then spend eternity in Hell.
Yeah...it's all real clear.

Judas knew who Jesus was... and when he went back to return the silver that the pharisee's had given him, that was an act of repentance.... he may have taken his own life because of the remorse he had in betraying Christ.... and turned back to God. Only God knows if Judas is worthy of being in heaven... and not me.

Judas was an instrument but it was he himself who decided to betray Jesus.
Jesus could have find infinte way of dying on the cross: just remind that there were an entire social class longing for his death.
Judas is described as a "thief" and "a betrayer", so no wonder he behaved like that.

No. If Judas were going to heaven, why would Jesus say about him: "Woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been finer for that man if he had not been born."
Does that sound like someone who would be ruling with Jesus in heaven along with the faithful apostles?

it is a robust question, one which has been requested for on the fringe of two,000 years. a lot of human beings the following say that Judas did not do what he did of his own loose will... i do no longer believe that to be real. Many believe that "pleasant prophesy" takes away loose will, that the fellow is "destined" to save on with it. i do not agree. God is outdoors of time, and tells the prophets of earlier what to position in writing as He sees it take position. If Judas hadn't keen to betray Jesus, the prophesy might want to have by no ability been made. although in case you want to say that Jesus' betrayal became "predestined," it became no longer predestined that it would want to be Judas. it would want to were Peter, or Andrew, or between the Apostles that we by no ability listen about, it did no longer should be JUDAS. It became Judas's determination. for this reason, it became no longer out of his administration. the subsequent question is of Judas' regret that became shown in suicide. became this an act of repentance? No, it became no longer. Killing oneself may be (and the following actually became) an act of regret, yet that does no longer make it an act of repentance. we want to no longer confuse both. Repentance is aligning your will and your moves with God's will, no longer in basic terms feeling sorry for what you've performed. Suicide isn't God's will, and is for this reason no longer repentance. Judas might want to were yet another Paul. Paul killed Christians, and grew to develop into one among God's perfect servants. Judas might want to have repented and develop into an get jointly of what God can do with a repentant heart. In end, i believe Judas did not bypass to heaven, because i believe that he acted of his own loose will, and that i believe that even as his suicide did coach regret, it became no longer an act of repentance.

He still had the freedom to chose not too.Jesus said "Woe to that man,it would be better if he had never been born".
Pharoah was in God's plan too.
