That's why I posted the following:IMO I would think Judas would have known about God's commands and about repentance before and after walking with Christ and heard Him teaching about repentance and God's mercy and grace given to all who will come to Him. Unfortunately like so many, greed became the lust of his heart and blinded him from the love of God. Yes, he felt remorse, but through his emotions he hung himself instead of turning back to God.
[1Co 2:14 KJV]
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
Regardless of whether or not we think it reasonable that someone, based solely upon the factors of position or proximity, to automatically have spiritual wisdom, we see that unless first becoming born again, we will be devoid of it, and will therefore be unable to truly comprehend it. To have spiritual wisdom/discernment, one must have been given the Holy Spirit. It is exclusively through Him that spiritual wisdom is received. Until and unless that occurs, spiritual discernment and faith aren't possible for natural man to have or obtain.
I realize that, in a sense, this may be counter-intuitive since we usually learn through reading, observing or being taught by man. However, as pertaining to the spiritual realm, these methods do not apply,
To illustrate this, could there have been anything more demonstrative of Judas's spiritual wisdom and condition than for him to have betrayed Jesus Christ?
[Gal 5:22 KJV] 22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[Eph 5:8-10 KJV]
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
(As with all attributes which the true believer inherits/manifests, true repentance is also of the Holy Spirit)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
