What About Judas?

While I was struggling to go to sleep last Sunday afternoon, I was asked in a thought, “What about Judas?” Since it was totally unrelated to whatever was going through my mind at the time, the question immediately caught my attention.

A few seconds later, it was explained that the question about Judas was in answer to some lingering questions that I have had about the possibility of everyone eventually making it into Heaven because of the sacrifice of our Heavenly Father’s only begotten Son, who truly is the Lord Jesus Christ, which is what [Christian Universalism] is all about. For if that is true, why would Christ Jesus say what He did about Judas Iscariot? For it is written: The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born. [Mark 14:21 KJV]

Christian Universalism

If you have not heard of it before, [Christian Universalism] is basically a belief in the reconciliation of all with our Heavenly Father through the sacrifice that His only begotten Son, who truly is the Lord Jesus Christ, made to pay the price in full that is required to cleanse us of our sins.  The part that distinguishes this from the rest is the definition of all.  For Christian Universalism teaches that all means all of mankind, including even those who are defiantly atheists.

Christian Universalism also teaches that there is no such thing as Hell, and it is gaining more and more converts with each passing day.  Has this not been greatly encouraged by the rest of the Christian community?
