Did judas go to heaven or hell?

Question

I have had a debate recently and I couldn't find the facts myself.

Judas was a thief, John 12:4-6. he also is the deciple who betrayed jesus. Also he was a suicide, but despite all of this people still insist he was forgiven. Now it is possible he was forgiven by the first two, but I know for a fact suicides do not go to heaven.

Answer 1

No he will never go to heaven.
Jesus Christ really made a comment about him.

Mathew 26 : 24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

John 6:70
Then Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!"

John 13 : 10Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

11For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

Answer 2

That's not something you can know for a fact. God is God and can do whatever God wants. If God wants Judas to go to heaven Judas goes to heaven.
You know, there were British citizens during WWII who went over to the German side, disgraced their families, were considered traitors, the whole nine yards. Years later it came out that they were on special top secret assignments for the Brit govt. But they never got any credit for their heroic sacrifice at least not during their lifetimes.
Maybe Judas was on a special assignment from God because he was needed to kick off the whole crucifixion/resurrection drama. Maybe he got some sort of special award in heaven for being willing to be the bad guy.

Answer 3

Says who, have you been to heaven and dione a census there? I saw on National Geograohic, that he believed Jesus, as the son of the living God, would return and when he did not he was so full of remorce that he hung himself. No disrespect to the writings of the gospels but you said John called him a thief, {perhaps to throw more mud on his name} How do you know John wrote this? It could have been added by some monk in thw Middle Ages;. If you say it was carbon dated then he probably wrote it, BUT are you sure
For the record, I am a person of faith and what I just wrote was said in a Bible study class

Answer 4

Well, he did betray jesus to the Romans, and hang himself after jesus was crusified, so I'd more than say he would have been sent to hell. But then again, I'm not sure that the notion of hell had been put into people's minds 2,000 years ago. An interesting question...

Answer 5

I personally believe (not that it really matters) that he went to Hell. Not because he was a thief or a suicide, but because he did not repent. The Bible says that he wept but not that he was repentant or that he renounced God. It is very possible that he did do these things but judging by scripture alone, I would have to say, no.

Blessed Be

Answer 6

Judas is damned and will be eternally in Hell following the Final Judgment.

Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

While He was with the disciples, the Christ kept them in the Father's name, that is, by His power and authority, and true to Him. “None of them is lost,” said Jesus, “except the son of perdition,” that is, Judas. But this did not mean that Judas was one of those given to the Son by the Father or that he was ever a genuine believer. The sentence means this: “Those that You gave Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition is lost, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.”

The title “the son of perdition” means Judas was consigned to eternal ruin or damnation. Judas was not compelled to betray Christ in order to fulfill prophecy, but he chose to betray the Savior and in so doing the Scripture was fulfilled.

Note also that term son of perdition (or man of lawlessness) is also used in 2 Tim 2:3 to refer to a figure that will lead a great falling away from the believers.

There is no debate on Judas' fate in the bible.

Answer 7

if you made up god concept made any sense and the story was true judas would receive a medal for assisting The Christ in his obligations to his father but in reality it's just good to kick around if you bought the premise I didn't
there is no hell nor heaven but in the imaginations of the faithfully faithless. we really only have hearsay to account for the validity of the story anyway . and critical thinking, thinking in it's highest form is lost for the believer

Answer 8

I dont think Judas made it.

John 17:12 - While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled

Answer 9

I would be very surprised if I say him in Heaven.
I Cr 13;8a
John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Answer 10

He went to heaven because if he hadn't done what was expected of him then there never would have been Christianity. How he must have suffered knowing that his mission in life was to betray the Christ. This however was his destiny written in the pages of time long before the earth was created.
