>Judas was never saved from the beginning, because he never believed in Jesus. He only pretended to This is a No True Scotsman fallacy. You're arguing that if someone believes in Jesus, they're forever saved no matter what they do...and if they act like a backstabbing weasel, then conveniently they never *truly believed* in Him and were lying all along. In addition to being a fallacy on that count, your premise is ALSO fallacious because it's unfalsifiable. There is no observable standard to (dis)prove it without the ability to read minds. >Gehenna, Hades, Purgatory, etc is all made up pagan hogwash from false teachers pretending to be Christians. Gehenna is explicitly mentioned in the Bible, along with Tartaros and Sheol. The KJV is an excellent translation in most areas, but it pervasively mistranslates and conflates those three into "hell" in the KJV. Which is likely what's confusing you if you've never picked up a concordance or different translation to spot that these are completely different words in the original texts. You're spot on about Purgatory and Hades though - those are indeed hogwash made up by Catholics and pagans respectively.
