Judas was alive up until the ascension.

I agree …others will not…. but ….c’est la vie. It is typical for some to add ..”from the faith” …but that is based on some erroneous judgment of interpretation. The authorized version of (1611) dropped “the” Greek article (hē) and inserted “A” (ho)… and in doing so they departed from the...
