To: Hebrews 11:6

I sometimes wonder if Judas went to heaven actually. He did have remorse for what he did and tried to atone, in a way.

Judas committed suicide, and some will argue that in itself precludes heaven, although I don't find scriptural support for that position. Recently, here on FR, I had an interesting discussion wherein I mentioned that there will be many people we will be surprised to encounter in heaven. My correspondent said, "I wonder sometimes how many people will be surprised to see me there!"

Practically, understanding that our actions have eternal consequences should affect how we treat people now, people we may be spending all eternity with.

Don’t have to wonder. We are told that he was a “son of perdition”. Only used twice in the New Testament. Once referring to Judas in John 17:12 and the second time to the Antichrist in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. And he committed suicide the ultimate act of despair and giving up on God. Seems clear he will enjoy the same fate as the Antichrist.

I have often wonder the result if Judas had not betrayed Jesus. He was destined to do it. God knew he would so does it not lend that God had him do it? ... Ow my head.
