1 | Why did Jesus encourage to betray? | John 13:27 | Morant61 | 145493 | ||
Greetings Angel! You wrote: "We can choose to interprete Scripture in a manner that denies Judas God's Mercy or we can choose to believe that God's Mercy knows no bounds and allow God, the only One who truly saw into Judas' heart and spirit, to determine his guilt or restoration!" Just a couple of quick comments! :-) 1) Scripture never specifically says what happened to Judas for eternity. So we are all just giving our opinion on the issue! ;-) 2) I think that you have set up a false "either or". It can be true that God's mercy knows no bounds, and at the same time, it can be true that Judas missed out on salvation. Certainly, God is the only judge of Judas. It is just that after reading all of the accounts and descriptions, I don't find any evidence that Judas repented. But, that is just my opinion! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi, Tim! Point 1: I agree with you completely! Point 2: I disagree with your "either or" conclusion... I have simply stated that much of the argument for Judas' damnation does not take into consideration much of the actual experience... I agree with your statement on God's mercy and Judas possible demise... yet, this is not how it has been expressed on this thread... the exposition has been that God destined Judas to fail than condemned him for it! I sought to introduce all the factors and the possibility that since Judas was destined to perform a horrific part in the Salvific Plan, God's Mercy would extend to him in accordance to his powerlessness when it came to fulfilling the prophecy of Jesus' betrayal! But, as you pointed out, not everyone is able to see (observe) Judas from my perspective! God Bless! Angel |
