Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
The author of Acts is the same as the author of Luke. Most people say that Luke wrote both. That has been commonly accepted for a long time, but the authorship of the Gospel of Luke isn't set in stone. So what? We know that the same individual wrote both books, and I'm good with that.
We've talked about Judas quite a few times already, starting with the OT references to him in the Psalms. One of the things I didn't address was the differences between the two accounts of his death. In Matthew, we are told that he hanged himself, while here in Acts, we are told that he fell headlong into a field and burst open with his bowels gushing out. If Luke wrote Acts, and if this is Luke, who was Paul's friend, and if Luke was a physician in the way we understand him to be, then he seems to speak very detailed about nearly everything. So maybe Judas hanged himself. Maybe the body was left there to rot. Maybe the body fell down into the field and burst open. Maybe, like the other eyewitness accounts of literally every single event in human history, the witnesses told the part of the story that was relevant to them. Could Judas have hung himself and then had his body fall into a field and split open? Sure. Either way, Judas is dead as the prophesies said he would be; his wife is a widow, and his children are orphans.
