You write: "That means we dont have to suffer like they did, suffering now will be a choice."

842 | Sabbath, not for who but why? | Gen 2:3 | kalos | 160586 | ||
Sabbath '(1) The sabbath ("cessation") appears in Scripture as the day of God's rest in the finished work of creation. (Genesis 2:2,3). For 2500 years of human life absolutely no mention is made of it. Then the sabbath was revealed (Exodus 16:23; Nehemiah 9:13,14); made a part of the law (Exodus 20:8-11) and invested with the character of a "sign" between Jehovah and Israel, and a perpetual reminder to Israel of their separation to God (Exodus 31:13-17). It was observed by complete rest (Exodus 35:2,3) and by Jehovah's express order a man was put to death for gathering sticks on the sabbath day. (Numbers 15:32-36). Apart from maintaining the continued burnt-offering (Numbers 28:9,) and its connection with the annual feasts ; (Exodus 12:16; Leviticus 23:3,8; Numbers 28:25) the seventh day sabbath was never made a day of sacrifice, worship, or any manner of religious service. It was simply and only a day of complete rest for man and beast, a humane provision for man's needs. In Christ's words, "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath." (Mark 2:27)...'

'Free Will in Christianity' ____________________ "God's knowing what choices we will make is simply knowledge - it doesn't remove our free will, for we are still the ones making the choices." ____________________ 'How can we have free will if God has a plan for our lives and knows everything we'll do in advance? 'Since God is omniscient, God has foreknowledge, meaning he knows what everyone will do in the future and what any individual would do in any given situation. This foreknowledge enables God to have a plan for everyone's life. For instance, if God wants a particular action to occur, he knows who would choose to do that action, and under what circumstances they would choose it; thus he is able to plan for it to happen. However, God's knowing what choices we will make is simply knowledge - it doesn't remove our free will, for we are still the ones making the choices. ____________________ "...his [God's] knowing what we'll freely choose to do doesn't mean we're forced to make that choice." ____________________ 'This may be more understandable if we consider that we have a type of foreknowledge from our knowledge of history. For example, we know that the Americans won the Revolutionary War. If we went back in time before the Revolutionary War took place, our knowing the outcome wouldn't force anyone to do anything. Our knowing the Boston Tea Party would take place wouldn't mean that the colonists would be forced to throw the tea overboard, it would only mean that we'd know what the colonists would choose to do. It's the same with God: his knowing what we'll freely choose to do doesn't mean we're forced to make that choice.' ____________________ www.rationalchristianity.net/free_will.html |

Judas is not in hell to save humanity. ONLY JESUS, the one perfect sacrifice, saves and does so by His blood ALONE. Judas is not suffering in hell for humanity. He is suffering for [on account of] HIS OWN SINS. More to come. Grace to you, Kalos |

Remorse, Not Genuine Repentance Aliennow: You write: "It seems to me by admitting his sin he (Judas) did repent." ____________________ ...with remorse [with little more than a selfish dread of the consequences] he (Judah) brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, (Ampflified Bible) ____________________ NKJV Matthew 27:3 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was *remorseful* and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, "Judas felt the sting of his own guilt, but this was not genuine repentance. There is a godly sorrow that leads to repentance, but Judas' remorse was of a different kind, as demonstrated by his suicide (Matt. 27:5). Compare 2 Cor. 7:10" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). NASB Matthew 27:3 Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he *felt remorse* and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, AMPLIFIED Matthew 27:3 When Judas, His betrayer, saw that [Jesus] was condemned, [Judas was afflicted in mind and troubled for his former folly; and] with remorse [*with little more than a selfish dread of the consequences]* he brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, [Exod. 21:32.] GOD'S WORD Translation Matthew 27:3 Then Judas, who had betrayed Jesus, *regretted* what had happened when he saw that Jesus was condemned. He brought the 30 silver coins back to the chief priests and leaders. (Emphasis added to the above Scripture quotes.) More to come. Grace to you, Kalos |

Aliennow: You write: "It seems to me by admitting his sin he (Judas) did repent." ____________________ 'Judas proved his repentance to be false by immediately committing another sin, suicide. Peter proved his to be true by serving the Lord faithfully ever after.' ____________________ '(1) Judas, when he saw the results of his betrayal, "repented himself." (Matthew 27:3-10) He saw his sin in a new light, and "his conscience bounded into fury." '(2) He made ineffectual struggles to escape, by attempting to return the reward to the Pharisees, and when they would not receive it, he cast it down at their feet and left it. (Matthew 27:5) But, (a) restitution of the silver did not undo the wrong; (b) it was restored in a wrong spirit, --a desire for relief rather than hatred of sin; (c) he confessed to the wrong party, or rather to those who should have been secondary, and who could not grant forgiveness; (d) "compunction is not conversion." '(3) The money was used to buy a burial-field for poor strangers. (Matthew 27:6-10) '(4) Judas himself, in his despair, went out and hanged himself, (Matthew 27:5) at Aceldama, on the southern slope of the valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem, and in the act he fell down a precipice and was dashed into pieces. (Acts 1:18) "And he went to his own place." (Acts 1:25 ) "A guilty conscience must find neither hell nor pardon." '(5) Judas’ repentance may be compared to that of Esau. (Genesis 27:32-38; Hebrews 12:16,17) It is contrasted with that of Peter. Judas proved his repentance to be false by immediately committing another sin, suicide. Peter proved his to be true by serving the Lord faithfully ever after. --ED.)' (www.biblestudytools.net/ Dictionaries/SmithsBibleDictionary/) More to come. Grace to you, Kalos |

Aliennow: You write: "But if Christ already knew that Judas would betray him then Judas would not have had free will and therefore could not have avoided betraying Jesus." How did you come to that conclusion? Just because Christ already knew something a man would do does not mean the man did not have free will. It does not mean the man could not have avoided doing that which Christ knew in advance. God knows ALL THINGS before they happen. Does that mean God and Christ force all people to sin? NASB James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. AMPLIFIED James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one. Solicitation to evil is not of God. More to come. Grace to you, Kalos |

What about Judas Iscariot? Aliennow: Thank you for your question. I'm always willing to provide further clarification or information regarding what I've posted previously, whenever possible. I will probably answer the questions in your post in two or more posts of my own. Here is the first part of my answer: 'What about Judas Iscariot? Was forgiveness not available to him? I believe that had Judas truly repented and asked Jesus for forgiveness rather than committing suicide, Jesus would have forgiven him. Judas was sorry, but his sorrow didn't move him to turn back to God. Jesus knew in advance that Judas wouldn't repent and would consequently face judgment, just as he knew Judas would betray him in the first place. Thus Jesus' statement about Judas referred to a terrible fate resulting from his own choices, not an inevitable fate that he couldn't avoid even if he had truly repented.'

856 | did Jesus die for our sins or sickness | 1 Pet 2:24 | kalos | 160441 | ||
'The first of these so-called “healing in the atonement” passages is Isaiah 53:5, which specifically mentions that by Messiah’s wounds we are healed. The word translated “heal” in this passage is actually the Hebrew word rapa, which is often used in a spiritual as opposed to a physical sense in the Old Testament (cf. Ps. 107:20; Jer. 3:22). However, as we look at the context of Isaiah 53, there’s no doubt that the healing described there is definitively one which is spiritual in nature.'

857 | did Jesus die for our sins or sickness | 1 Pet 2:24 | kalos | 160440 | ||
'Physical healing - Is it guaranteed in Christ's atonement? '"...with his stripes we are healed." 'No, while ultimate physical healing is in the atonement (a healing we will enjoy in our resurrection bodies), healing of our bodies while in the mortal state (prior to our death and resurrection) is not guaranteed in the atonement. 'Moreover, it is important to note that the Hebrew word for healing (rapha) can refer not just to physical healing but to spiritual healing. The context of Isaiah 53:4 indicates that spiritual healing is in view. In verse 5 we are clearly told, "He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed" (v. 5). Because "transgressions" and "iniquities" set the context, spiritual healing from the misery of man's sin is in view. 'Further, there are numerous verses in Scripture which substantiate the view that physical healing in mortal life is not guaranteed in the atonement and that it is not always God's will to heal. [] 'The apostle Paul couldn't heal Timothy's stomach problem (1 Timothy 5:23) nor could he heal Trophimus at Miletus (2 Timothy 4:20) or Epaphroditus (Philippians 2:25-27). [] 'Paul spoke of "a bodily illness" he had (Galatians 4:13-15). He also suffered a "thorn in the flesh" which God allowed him to retain (2 Corinthians 12:7-9). [] 'God certainly allowed Job to go through a time of physical suffering. [] 'In none of these cases is it stated that the sickness was caused by sin or unbelief. [] 'Nor did Paul or any of the others act as if they thought their healing was guaranteed in the atonement. They accepted their situations and trusted in God's grace for sustenance. [] 'It is noteworthy that on one occasion Jesus indicated that sickness could be for the glory of God (John 11:4). [] 'There are numerous verses in Scripture which reveal that our physical bodies are continuously running down and suffering various ailments. Our present bodies are said to be perishable and weak (1 Corinthians 15:42-44). Paul said "our outer man is decaying" (2 Corinthians 4:16). Death and disease will be a part of the human condition until that time when we receive resurrection bodies that are immune to such frailties (1 Corinthians 15:51-55). 'Am I saying we shouldn't pray for healing? No, not at all. I'm just saying that after we've asked for healing, we need to submit to God's sovereign will. He may have a purpose in allowing our illness.'

What does our overall knowledge of Scripture, human nature and reality teach? It shows me that literally "ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." There are many things in the book of Romans that apply to people outside the church. Because a certain book of the Bible is addressed to a particular group or individual does not necessarily mean that it applies only to the ones addressed. Grace to you, Kalos |

860 | "Listen to the rebuke of a wise man" | Eccl 7:5 | kalos | 160383 | ||
What is wrong with this picture? According to many: It's not OK for Tom to speak up if Dick and Harry teach bad doctrine. But somehow it is OK for Dick and Harry to attack the character of Tom if Tom disagrees with their teaching. Let me put it another way. It's not OK when radio preacher A criticizes the false teachings of TV preacher B. But somehow it is OK for TV preacher B to launch an attack against the character of radio preacher A. Or it's not OK when Forum user A corrects the flawed beliefs of Forum user B. But it is OK when Forum user B attacks the character of Forum user A. Ec 7:5 NIV It is better to heed a wise man's rebuke than to listen to the song of fools. Pr 10:21 NIV The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of judgment. |
