Now, as I have asked repeatedly,

HOW DID JUDAS DIE?

suicide...

now make your point

Yes, but suicide by what means?
My point is that there are two contradictory accounts in the NT of how Judas died, and I look forward with much anticipated amusement to your attempt to reconcile them or persuade us that there are not.

persuasion means i would care if you reject or not. i don't

I just want to show things,

show the contradicting verses to claim to be contradicting and present your interpretation and supporting verses to prove your interepretation.

Well that's good, or you'd be failing.

O.K., show us how the Bible doesn't contradict itself, as you claimed.

O.K., I thought you were the Bible expert, but I can help if you're not familiar. I really don't think any interpretation is necessary, as they are pretty plain:

So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. (Matthew 27:5)
With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. (Acts 1:18)

You may now start twisting, in an effort to support your statement that the Bible does not contain any contradictions.

I suspect that there was a tree in the field Judas bought, and it was from this tree that he hanged himself. The weight of his body, however, broke the rope and he fell headlong. Since the tree was so tall, the fall was from a pretty great height. The impact caused his body to burst open, and all his intestines spilled out. No contradiction!

I have just one question. Are you serious? Sometimes it's hard to tell on the internet.
