hottiedeafboi said:Reba is right. And remember, Jesus picked the 12, and remember Jesus foreknew Judas. Jesus knew Judas was blind of what the purpose of Jesus as a Messiah. Judas thought Jesus will have power to overcomes the Romans as thought as in OT the purpose of being here, but overlooked the whole message God has given throughout the OT. Judas is also greedy. Judas overlooked about Jesus as the Messiah has to die first to pay our sin debt in full for the FUTURE reign, not when Jesus born to RULE, but to DIE first, then in the future, Jesus will rule. Judas missed that part. Like Judas was a disciple, but Jesus appointed him for the purpose for His(Jesus) death. God has a perfect plan and timing. No, Judas didn't lose salvation bec of suicide. Judas killed himself bec he blamed himself afterward all the things he has done.
But, Judas could ask for forgiveness, couldn't he ? It may save his life from hangin' himself. I just thought he already knew since Jesus taught soo many things to His people durin' His ancient times. I hope that Judas' example don't give the wrong impression, ya know ? People will debate over this issue because like Reba said no one knows Judas' heart -- for that part, I agree.
