Yes or No..Could Judas Ischariot have been Forgiven For his Act of Betraying Jesus Christ?

Question

William you being Unreasonable.Its a yes or No Question.If you dont have an answer dont add Negative comments. Thx.

Answer 1

No, because forgiveness is based on repentance.
The course Judas chose was a deliberate one, involving malice, greed, pride, hypocrisy, and scheming. He afterward felt remorse under the burden of guilt, as a willful murderer might at the result of his crimes. But there is no indication he repented, as King David did after his sin with Bathsheba.

Answer 2

Jesus asked God to forgive him, "because he (Judas) didn't know what he was doing."

Judas tried to force Christ's hand, (to take over the kingdom of earth,) but he didn't know, that wasn't God's plan for the moment. He fell into the predestined role, unlucky for him.

He will have to pay something for what he did. Forgiveness doesn't mean that you don't get back what you give. "What goes around comes around" is one of the greatest law there is. Now someone else (highly evolved) can take the effect of that "sin" (cause) upon himself, so that the "sinner" can ascend to a greater level without a very great strain upon his body, however much it was deserved. Judas probably needed to ask. If Judas would've known Christ well enough, he would've known and believed that Christ would've surely forgiven him, therefore he could've been able to forgive himself instead of hanging himself.

Asking for forgiveness from God, is a sign of belief that it can be done. Believing in it, is same as having it done.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

No.

His betrayal of Jesus was the willful, deliberate culmination of a course of hypocrisy and dishonesty. For instance, when Judas saw Mary anoint Jesus with costly oil, he asked: “Why was it this perfumed oil was not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor people?” The apostle John added: “[Judas] said this, though, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief and had the money box and used to carry off the monies put in it.” Soon thereafter, Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. (John 12:1-6; Matthew 26:6-16) True, Judas felt remorse and committed suicide. (Matthew 27:1-5) But he was not forgiven, since his deliberate, persistently selfish course and his treacherous act reflected his sin against the holy spirit. How appropriate that Jesus should call Judas “the son of destruction”!—John 17:12; Mark 3:29; 14:21.

Answer 4

Yes, because God is fair.

The Bible says: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9). Remember that Peter also denied Christ three times (which is also betrayal), but he repented, was forgiven and became a leader of the disciples.

This is important to understand because we sometimes think that we can do something that God cannot forgive. God will forgive us unless we blaspheme the Holy Spirit. But it is not certain what blaspheming the Holy Spirit entails. Those who have participated in the Blasphemy Challenge and have denied the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ online can be forgiven if they are did not understand what they were doing. Most of those people have had a painful experience in life and have blamed God for it without ever really knowing God. I believe blaspheming the Holy Spirit is more of an ongoing rebellion against Jesus once a person understands who Jesus is.

The only way a person cannot be forgiven is if God hardens their heart, like He did Pharaoh in the book of Exodus. It is possible that God had hardened Judas’ heart, but that is not for us to know. Our only fear is that we continually sin in rebellion against God, because one day God may take away the ability for us to even ask Him for forgiveness, or the ability for us to even believe in Him by hardening our hearts.

God is very patient, like a lamb; but He is also terrible, like a lion. He is real, and He is not mocked, so we must all beware.

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

Yes. Christ died for everyone, and his love is so great that it goes beyond human understanding. So yes, Judas was forgiven.

Answer 7

Yes, In fact, Judas was doing what Jesus TOLD HIM TO DO! He was only following Jesus' orders and this is how he's repaid.

Answer 8

He, like all of us, sinned. He was forgiven...if he was truly sorry. The fact of his suicide indicates he must have been asleep when Jesus was explaining God's mercy.

Answer 9

Judas got a bum wrap. The guy who denied him 3 times, THAT was betrayal.

Answer 10

Yes, if he had asked the Risen Christ for forgivness.

But he was so struck with grief at what he had done, he NEVER got the chance.
