Where do you think Judas went after he betrayed Jesus and committed suicide?

John Macarthur makes a pretty good case for him being in hell, I've never heard any pastor say he's in heaven
@BritishFailedAesthetic Who is John MacArthur to judge? We don't know for sure that before he killed himself, he repented and asked God to forgive him.
@LadyGrace Sure, but there is no indication of this.

Suicide is not a great look for the state of your soul and the language indicates all he had was guilt, not godly repentance.

Please do not misread this as to thinking that I think people who commit suicide are unsaved if they are proffesing Christians.
@BritishFailedAesthetic no I don't think of it that way. I know you're not saying that.

But I feel just because there's no indication of that, that doesn't mean the man didn't repent either. We can't judge that and we'll not know that until we get to heaven. But when people are so grieved over what they have done, that doesn't mean the man didn't have any guilt and in fact it proves just the opposite because if he didn't have any guilt about it, he wouldn't have been so desperate to kill himself. No one was after him. A contrite heart would do such a thing if they are so sorrowful.
