first of all he commited a horrible sin- and was party to the execution of Christ- a co-conspirator as it were. second he took his own life in nothing that would be called a sacrificial mode- suicide is its own punishment, so they say. sorry, no energy crisis where Judas wound up!
Another Point of View:
Who are we to say the depth of God's mercy? God sent His only begotton Son, not to condemm the world, but to save the world, so that whosoever believe might be saved. This is a gift with no strings. Judas probably believed. That's probably why he took his life. He met the criteria for salvation - belief. Besides, someone had to betray Jesus in order for scripture to be fulfilled - wouldn't it make sense that Judas was simply doing his agreed role, painful as it might have been to him?
The belief that Judas was predestined to go to hell is a theological interpretation. Traditional Christian teachings hold that Judas acted on his own free will when betraying Jesus, leading to his destiny in hell. However, opinions on predestination vary among different Christian denominations.
It is a matter of speculation (at least until all is revealed in the end). I believe that his suicide is evidence that he felt repentant for narcing on Jesus. Besides, I believe God is powerful enough to forgive a lot worse than Judas Iscariot. There are also some schools of thought that suggest that Judas was working with Jesus, not against Him, when he betrayed Him.
There were two Apostles named Judas - Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus, and Judas Thaddaeus, also known as Jude, who was one of the twelve Apostles.
In the New Testament, Judas is commonly referred to as Judas Iscariot.
There is no specific historical record or consensus on the exact year Saint Judas was born. Saint Judas is a figure from Christian tradition often associated with Judas Thaddeus or Jude, one of the apostles of Jesus. His birth year is not clearly documented in historical texts.
Yes, Judas from the New Testament was a Hebrew. All of the apostles were Hebrews. So was Jesus.Yes, Judas from the New Testament was a Hebrew. All of the apostles were Hebrews. So was Jesus.
There is no evidence to suggest that Judas Iscariot was a Scorpio. Astrology was not prevalent in the time of Judas, and his zodiac sign is not mentioned in any historical accounts.
Our souls are not predestined.
John Calvin
Yes. They believed this quite strongly and that individuals were predestined to go to Heaven or Hell, i.e. that their choices could not influence God's decision.
Burn in Hell - Judas Priest song - was created in 1997.
John Calvin (1509-1564) said god predestined heaven and others for hell, because god is sovereign and can do what he wants.
of course?
John Calvin believed that people had a predestined fate that determined where they would go in the afterlife. They were destined for either heave or hell depending on their predetermined fate.
Some verses in the Bible to help you find the answer to your question. We are predestined by God to go to either heaven or hell. Acts 13:48, Rom.8:29-30, 9:11-22; Eph.1:4-5, 2 Tim.1:9, Jude 1:4 Predestined, or predestination, means that God has decided if we are going to heaven or hell before we are born. It should be noted that the original biblical texts never mention the word hell. Hell is from ancient Egyptian mythology (look it up). When the Roman empire christianized paganism, or paganized christianity, many myths were incorporated and have been passed down through the centuries.
The three worst sinners in hell are Brutus, Cassius, and Judas. According to the Divine Comedy.

Judas was not necessarily a bad man before his betrayal, but a weak one. The devil influenced him into asking the Romans and the Elders to arrest Jesus so he could get compensation. Jesus was later crucified, and Judas committed suicide. Judas, the Catholic Church believes, is now in hell, because he committed a mortal sin(a sin that must be asked forgiveness for when you die and throughout your life, otherwise you go to hell) and didn't confess, and he had just basically murdered God, so he is a bad person.
Judas Priest released Killing Machine/Hell Bent for Leather in 1979.
