Not Sure\n\nFirst 12 Appointed Apostle will rule of Israel in Rev.  Jesus Christ Appointed = Judas was one of them\n\n2nd  In the bible suicide does not mean you will go to Hell, it only says you MAY  = May can mean May Not\n\n******\nJudas did repent, He did take the money back, but had guilt, how many people doyou know today that  are eat up with guilt?\n\n3rd  Someone had to betray Jesus, Do you think this was a example Jesus set on us, we are all sinner and weak, even if we do live for God and do our best ( we still sin), we are human also?

and my christian friends should thank Judas also ....because if he hadnt betrayed Jesus ....there wouldnt have been any salvation possible .... why is he always titled as  a satan...By the way lets see if Gospel of Judas bring some truth .......\nI am a Muslim and Quran tells us that Jesus never died neither did he wished so .....some person (may be Judas) betrayed him ...and he was crucified inplace of jesus because God made him look like jesus...Jesus has been raised up alive in the heavens and he will return ..

Some historians and scriptural experts suggest that Judas knew Jesus had to be betrayed and then put his own neck in the noose for the rest of the world.   He is such a hated person, and yet it is because of him that one of the largest religions in the world has taken power.  In my opinion, Christians should revere his name, not scorn it.  If you want more info, go to a library and check out a copy of the Gnostic Gospels (also called the Nag Hammadi), or more specifically the Gospel of Judas.

As a matter of fact Peter did it worse than Judas, who denied him only ONCE, when he was given the 30 silver coins.\n\nThe fact is that Peter repented and had his punishment when he died, the day he was going to be crucified, he asked the Roman executors to put him upside down, as he felt he \ndidn t deserve to die like the person he cheated.\n\nJudas, on the other hand, NEVER repented and commited suicide shortly afterwards.\n\nThere it is!

Judas the Iscariot has no merit on any Christians life. For the simple fact that he was a traitor, his writings are null and void. Similar to a trial where they discredit a witness based on his past, and his penchant of lying or stretching the truth. His words and teachings are skewed by hate, lust and jealously. Also, not to mention that he lost out on his chance to rule as a King or Priest in Heaven with Jesus.

Good question, but everyone will not go to Heaven.\nDo you think for one minute a loving, almighty God would allow His only Son to go thru such misery if there were not a choice?\nDon't you think He would have chosen another way if there had been another way to redeem mankind?\nYahshua HAD to be the lamb that was slain.  Blood had to be shed.\nWithout the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.

What does one question have to do with the other?  Jesus laid down His life willing for our sins.  The mortal body of Jesus did die on the cross, yet the Spirit of the one true God was never corrupted or died.  Check the book of John.

Jesus? Use your brain for just a few seconds.\n\n\nIf Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.\n\nDo Gods die? Do they?\n\nIf Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides a few hours was sacrificed? \n\nWhat's the BIG deal?\n\nDavid Blaine can do that on TV.\n\nIf you accept the Jesus story, would you also accept this one?\n\nI gave all my money to Charity last Friday.\n\nOn Sunday, all the money was returned to me.\n\nI sacrificed for charity. True or False?

Thank you for letting me answer your question.\n\nActually your question can be actually made of (2) separate questions. I'll be brief, but percise.\n1. What does it mean that Jesus sacrificed himself?  \n   A: The bible speaks about Jesus became sin for the purpose of an exchange. He became or took our sin for the purpose of giving all humans a right to forgiveness and everlasting life with God in heaven. \nSo the sacrifice portion as the bible explains kicked in when Jesus, the Son of God lived a life on earth as a man never to have committed any sin, but accepted all sin to death for all humans. The ultimate sacrifice done completely out of love.  \n\n2. Committing sins and going to heaven?\nBelieving that Jesus is the Son of God, Died on the Cross, and Rose from the grave allows those that believe on those (3)things to have a right to ask for forgiveness. All people commit some form of sin, but the truth about sinning comes from the intension of from the heart concerning sinning. \n\nA true believer is not trying to find ways to do immoral actions. \n\nIts encouraged that any person who believes to ask for forgiveness anytime/all the time when you feel something didn't line up with what you believe to be unpleasant before God. The key that many miss is that God loves you. Please read Psalms 103. \n\nGod would not have gone through all the trouble of setting up/placing Jesus on earth then allow him to be sacrificed/killed and offer up eternal life/forgiveness only to strike/condem people to hell when they miss it.\nThe only time the bible does speak on not being forgiven is when a believer who has experienced God to fullness denies God to exist. That person had witnessed His mercy/LOVE/spirit/prosperity, yet when its all done they still say in their "HEART/Inner Thoughts" God doesn't exist(Hebrews 6 and 10). \nI hope this answers your question.

Its interesting in that it claims Judas was the one crucified, and that Jesus ascended into heaven.\n\nit also claims that jesus foretold of a final prophet for all men, "the blessed one" - the blessed one, when translated into arabic becomes "Muhammad".

Judas, then he committed suicide. Peter wept over betraying Jesus.

It was a dirty job, but someone had to do it.  Even Jesus knew that at the time.\n\nHe told Judas to go do what he had to do.

Well, I see it like this: God's will was already established both the good and the bad. But we are floating around with a choice to become either Judas Iscariot or Peter. Both were choosen to be Apostles, both sinned against God, however, only one of them chose to repent with godly sorrow and not just because he got caught like Judas did. People always say, was Judas predestined to go to hell? No, I don't think so, I believe God's will is predestined not the people that will choose themselves what part they want to play. So, predestination for those who don't want to receive Jesus because they think it will just fall on them are wrong. Proof of what I just said can be found in Deut 28, where he set before us both blessings and cursings, see the plan is set, but what part of the plan you'll be in is entirely up to you,thus, your freedom to choose! God bless you girl!

I don't know who told you that he's not in Heaven. He did die, and we believe that if a person who has put their trust in Jesus (which he had) dies, they go to Heaven.\n\nSo we believe that when he was beheaded (I think that's what happened, my history's a little bad), he went to Heaven, yes, but that doesn't mean he became God. I don't know if that's what you're getting at (your question's a little hard to understand).\n\nHope I helped.

Yeah it sucks to be Judas.  To me it is an interesting question.  If he hadn't betrayed Jesus His salvation plan might not have taken place (at least the way it had been prophesied), but I think Judas' role is given too much credit.  Jesus had spoke before thousands of people and was well-known to most of Roman Palestine.  He had a large following and his entrance to the city a week earlier was celebrated.  But all Judas really did was tell the Jewish leaders where Jesus would be, then identify Him with a kiss.  I am sure that they could have found Jesus on their own had Judas decided not to betray Jesus.  His kiss may have been because it was dark in the garden.  \n\nAlso, Judas did not make Jesus die on the cross.  I doubt if Judas originally realized what would happen when he gave up Jesus.  When He did He killed himself.  It was prophecied that Jesus would be betrayed, so that asks the question... did God make Judas betray Jesus in order to fulfill prophesy or did God simply know Judas would make that decision himself.  If Judas is burning in Hell because God made him betray Jesus that would seem horribly unfair to me.  \n\nBut hours before the betrayal, Jesus called Judas out and told him that he would betray Him that night.  Judas went and did it anyway which makes me think he did it of his own free-will.  He betrayed his friend (and leader) for 30 pieces of silver (which was not a fortune).  Christians blame Judas because of his character.  The crucifixion coud have occurred without his betrayal, but the way he betrayed Jesus makes him a despised figure.
