Hi, I’ve read R. Christopherson tell that Judas didn’t kill himself. First he was ripped off vertically and his inwards gushed out, then hanged himself. This is not possible. He was killed. But I don’t know the truth about it. It makes sense. But who knows

Thank you Ericka.
In this chapter it is saying what I think happened. Later he was hanged. It was not possible to hang himself after his inwards gushed out.
Thank you once again

Your welcome.Here is another piece that could be helpful.
Acts 1:18
Now = Therefore. Verses Act_18:19 form a parenthesis.
this man = this one, indeed.
purchased = caused to be purchased. Figure of speech Metonymy (of Effect). App-6. See App-161.
field = place, or holding. Greek. chorion. See note on Mat_26:36.
reward = pay. Greek. misthos. Sin pays its wages (Rom_6:23).
iniquity. App-128. Compare 2Pe_2:13, where the same Greek words are translated “wages of unrighteousness”.
headlong. Greek. prenes. Only here.
burst asunder. Greek. lakeo. Only here. Dr. John Lightfoot (1602-75) writes: “The devil, immediately after Judas had cast back his money into the temple, caught him up into the air, strangled him, threw him headlong, and dashed him in pieces on the ground”. He refers to Tobit 3.8, and adds, "That this was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem, argues that it was no common and ordinary event, and must be something more than hanging himself, which was an accident not so very unusual in that nation. "Works, viii, pp 366, 367. This requires that Mat_27:5 be read, “He was hanged, or strangled”, instead of “hanged himself”.
gushed out = were poured out.
From E.W.Bullinger, from eSword.
Absolutely amazing sister. I love this information. And the time you’ve taken to respond. Thank you very much again
Well, the Bible says he hanged himself, so if Judas didn’t, then that means the Bible contradicts itself. I don’t believe that one.
I will say, I have a new study on this subject to be published in the next month or so.

Welcome brother! Just giving you info that may be helpful for your studies. I am not trying to tell you what I believe or what you should believe. I was just trying to give you the info based on what you were questioning. Just in case it was the verse in Act 1:18, that you have came across before that caused concern, and this is what you were gonna deep dive into for a study. So I apologize for my lack of description and perhaps misleading you unintentionally, please study for yourself. I should have just left you alone
Yeah sorry, I should have not tried to be “helpful”.
I wasn’t trying to confirm or deny the situation, I am thinking just point back to the word for deep studying.
I look forward to this study as well!
No, please! I liked your insight very much. It is concerning that the Bible said he hanged himself. And I won’t question it at all. In the Old Testament we have The Masoretic text. I don’t know if in the New Testament is there something similar. But it is not possible to be reap of your inwards and later to hang yourself. It is not. Maybe the meaning of the traduction? Maybe something else?
Bran has a gifted mind. There’s no doubt the Holy Spirit is with him.
His study will be pretty interesting. No doubt about it.
I think with his study we will see it much clear.
I never will doubt The Word, ever. It’s always my fault.
I read The Season Roger Christopherson and He also thinks so.
I have to do my homework.
Anyway thank you sister once more

I’m so hurt and want to die so bad; I miss my son it’s 9 mths today since he went home with Jesus! I’m left with nothing! I literally hate my life!!
Sid, I’m so sorry to hear this.
We have three children, and I can only imagine the pain you must be feeling. I am grateful that you understand your son is in Heaven, while the pain is difficult to deal with, it is comforting to know.
I know you’ll continue to endure this hardship Sid, do you know why?
You’re a Christian, and while life can be tough, we are comforted in knowing the Creator of the universe is with us each and everyday. Make your son proud, keep on with the good fight of faith. I know you can do it!
My families prayers will be with you. Just know, this community and myself are here for you.

Sending many prayers your way Sid. I lost my husband 8 months ago and life has been very different. I found a good support group and also started doing a hobby to keep myself busy but also to meet new people that can help get me through this tough transition. Grief is not easy but with God it is definitely possible to move on and continue the lords work and be happy again. Sending you much love Sid…please hang on it will get better

Condolences on the loss of your son.
Although I don’t know what that pain is like, I do know that when I lost my parents within a year-and-a-half of each other, I felt like–and still do–a part of me went with them.
It’s a cold, hard truth that life will never be the same, but by the grace of God, He’s shown me it can still be good in other ways, especially when He enables us to see past the tears and to whatever purpose He has for us.
I’m sure the scar of grief will remain on my heart until its very last beat, but thank God He repaired what was once shattered, and I hope He does for you as well, Sid.
The following passage is from 2 Esdras 7 and has made a lasting impression on me:
88 “Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of Him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death."
Although I’m sure the “evil thought” mentioned in verse 92 is referring to sin in general, I once shared the passage with someone who was dealing with thoughts of taking his own life, which I hope is far from your mind but may God bring peace to.
