Who replaced Judas Iscariot after he died Matthias Matthias (Koine Greek:, Maththas mai.as, from Hebrew Mattiyh Coptic: died c. In an attempt to salvage whatever little is still left of his soul, Judas commits suicide.

This causes Judas to remorse and repent but he repents to idols instead of to God. With the devil inside him, judas has no longer any control of anything, and the devil executes the boundaries that God gave him. More Answers to Contradictions in the Bible. ( Acts 1:23-26) Some have trouble with that because of the manner in which the decision was reached, namely, casting lots to decide between Matthias and Joseph (who was also called Barsabbas).

Interesting that the Lord seems to hold you responsible even when you have no control of anything. Between the last supper and the remorse, the mind of judas works like a virus infected organism, producing the reproduction of the virus instead of itself.Ĭlearly judas was not at his mind.
