True, but I believe, Jesus said “the first shall be last” for a reason, and if Judas accepts Jesus as the son of God and savior of mankind, he will be allowed to enter into heaven! Everyone will be forgiven just so long as you accept Jesus. The son of God hung out with thieves, prostitutes, and murders for a reason, it’s hard to believe that some truly horrible people could be forgiven, but that’s the beauty of Jesus’ sacrifice, the way to the kingdom is through him. A well man does not need a doctor, but a sick man does!
21 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, “I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me.”
22 His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant.
23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.
24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”
25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

You wrote that, “Everyone will be forgiven just so long as you accept Jesus.”

Well, only Jesus knows whom He will forgive, as He is the final judge. That being said, what makes you think that Judas accepted Jesus? Is there some place in the Bible that says he did? From all that I have read, the conclusion is that Judas came to the conclusion that Jesus was not the Messiah, and he may have thought he was doing Jesus a favor by turning him in to the Pharisees. Or, it could be that he did it for the money as it is suspected that Judas as keeper of funds was taking money for his personal use.
