is the betrayal of jesus by judas any different than peter and the others denying jesus to save their hides? i think not.
remember jesus said.."lord forgive them,they know not what they do" did this include the 11 but not the one?

Jesus saved Judas, Because God is all merciful, and all forgiveing, And Jesus was a manifestarion of god, Therefor Jesus would have forgiven Judas and saved him along with the rest of the world.

My personal take on it....Judas "saved" man kind by being the instrument of Jesus's crucifixtion, leading to the salvation of the world, and god decided to play a nasty joke on Judas and instead of comforting him and telling him that he was the single most important tool in the grandest plan of all time, he let him worry and wallow in guilt, leading to his suicide and condemnation....it's like when you're the only one in the house that has a job and you don't even get to eat dinner because nobody "likes" the macaroni and cheese you bought them and then you feel so bad about not providing your family with what they want (despite giving them what they need) and next thing you know it's affairs, divorce, and Jerry Springer......what a cruel world....

Unfortunately I do not know the answer but in response to 182ofwfehuwofj: Jesus did not know each apostles future heonly knew each apostle's heart and attitude.
Jesus labored to fulfill every letter of every prophecy regarding his life, we must conclude that he knew Judas' attitudes, tendencies, and personality when selecting the apostles. God and Christ then without having to force anyone to do wrong could know that Judas' thieving hearth' would make him betray Jesus. It was merely a prediction on past actions made by Judas, NOT seeing into the future.

Judas was an anointed person. As an anointed person, by betraying Jesus, Judas sinned against the Holy Spirit. Therefore, there is not forgiveness for him. He is not in hell, but he will be forgotten, forever.

I do not know where Judas is right now. Only God knows and only God has the right to judge us.
Jesus didn't die from an unfortunate coincidence of circumstances. St. Peter said that he died "according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God" (Acts 2:33). The people involved were not passive players in a script written by God.
God's "predestination" includes each person's free response to grace. The Bible says that they "gathered together against your holy servant Jesus to do what your plan had predestined to take place" (Acts 4:27-28). God permitted their acts of blindness to accomplish his plan of salvation.

Hi WISE 1. Judas Iscariot was not saved. God tells of the Last Supper that it would be better that Judas would not have been born. In Mark 14:20-21 God tells us:
"And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. 21The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born."
Judas was sorry that he had betrayed Jesus, but it was only because he had betrayed a friend. Judas was never repentant, he never cried out "Lord please forgive me."

The Old and New Testaments clearly teach predestination. A lot of people do not like it, but God is the potter, and we are the clay, the potter can make something Holy out of a lump of clay, and from the same lump he can make something to demonstrate his wrath upon. However, you can respond to the gospel, and become something Holy. This is pleasing to God, all of the angels in heaven rejoice when one person makes the decision to accept Christ.
God be with you,

jesus can tell the future , he knew what would happen . judas merely helped him out .
and anyway it still boils down to what you choose to believe.
jesus is smart , you won't know what he's thinking either.

another crack in the armor of christians: If Judas had acted in any other way, Christians wouldn't have had their sacrifice.
So, did Judas do the right or wrong thing?
Who benefits by his actions?
