“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own you were bought at a price. Therefore, our bodies are not our own any longer. When we become Christians, we commit our lives and our bodies to Christ. There is no doubt suicide is selfish and sinful for the believer. These verses indicate Judas "went where he belonged" because he betrayed Christ, not because he committed suicide. (Excerpted from " What Happened to Judas?" by Ray Pritchard) None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled” ( John 17:12).

Even now the soldiers are gathering for the march to the Mount of Olives. Judas has left to make the final arrangements. Listen to Jesus as he prays in the Upper Room on Thursday night.

Ray Pritchard of Crosswalk outlines several Bible verses that imply Judas went to hell: Many study Bibles and commentators reason the discrepancy with the common Jewish practice of citing a Major Prophet to refer to group of works which included books of Minor Prophets. And the LORD said to me, ‘Throw it to the potter’-the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the LORD” (Zachariah 11:12-13). “I told them, ‘If you think it best, give me my pay but if not, keep it.’ So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.
