Quote:
Jesus said, “Woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born” (Matt. 26:24). While this statement implies that Judas’s final destination was hell, it cannot be known whether or not he repented of his sins before his death, and so it cannot be said with certainty that he is in hell. 1voice:
Well, I wouldnt wish hell on anyone…
But then, Jesus didnt cast woe on the thief that asked for mercy.
Jesus said of Peter: Satan has asked to sift you like wheat … but I have prayed for you. … Jesus didnt say anything like that about Judas…
I’d say that calling him a devil is a clue. I certainly wouldnt want that evaluation from the mouth of the most high.
Just an opinion… Its not a deal breaker.
