[Augustinian monk]

“Why? How do you see this verse tying into the discussion of Hell?”

I think most readers would read it to mean that there is some measure of future punishment for Judas. If his soul dies then it is the same as if he was never born. Eternal punishment would make some one wish they were never born.

[ScubieNuc]

I think most readers would read it to mean that there is some measure of future punishment for Judas.

I don't deny that Judas suffered some measure of punishment when his soul went to Hell (whichever side he was on). What I don't believe is a torturing, burning, tormenting of immortal humans forever and ever and ever if they don't accept Jesus as Savior.
