Lost to the cause or lost personally? Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to get Judas saved. I just don't think we know of his personal destiny. Does God look to his apparent change of heart with any pleasure? Well, I can't imagine God being disappointed in that particular circumstance. Does the cross present forgiveness to all of humanity except Judas? Wow -- that sounds a little incredible to me.

Speculation, my dear. If repentance is a "change of mind," then the return of the money is clearly a change of mind. The suicide could very well have been an extention of that change of heart Now, I am not saying that he was ultimately saved. I just think that we need to be careful with our doctrine concerning Judas. And we do have a doctrine concerning the man. If that didache includes the notion that He had no choice in the betrayal; if we think that he was selected (emphasis on "selected") from the beginning to be the player that he was and that this betrayal extended from a thorough going inward wickedness, well, I do not agree with that.JD
