And again, we are not to speculate for anyone, husband, wife, child, friend, stranger, foe, Judas Escariot.
It is the touching of a dead corpse that Moses warned against, and it requires a special cleansing to be able to stop doing it.
There is only one way to escape this heartbreaking and hopeless problem of uncertainty, and few are compassionate enough to entertain it.
Two accounts of what Judas did contradict because of English translation. To have two witnesses, they must agree. In the greek language, they do agree. He neither hung himself nor exploded into pieces, nor did he hang himself then fall from the rope breaking or his body rotting and explode into pieces.
He grieved so harshly over what he had done that he wrenched and "puked his guts out", and was never heard from again.
Sorry if that idea disappoints Judas haters.
But people believe that he was so evil that he deserved to kill himself and go to the worst imaginable hell, and will not entertain anything but two contradicting English translations, somehow excusing God or the witnesses from contradictions that in English aren't even close to each other, even if the translation errors be pointed out.
I've tried before and for the most part, gave up, because the only rebuttal is "he was the devil! he was the devil!"
Every single one of us betrays Jesus for money when we drive past the guy with the cardboard "help" sign, or when we give knowing without a doubt in our heart that there's no way he's sleeping in our house or even our garage tonight.
Judah and Judas both represent the sin of monetarily capitalizing on an imminent situation that they had written off as "doomed anyway"
"If the store is already being looted by dozens, I might as well grab myself a laptop. Make that two."
Their names are not coincidental, God quietly inspired their parents to name them appropriately for the recording of what they would do in life, just like every single one of us.
Both of them utterly repented of their mistake.
