1 | Hebrews 6:6 explained | Hebrews | Morant61 | 42658 | ||
Greetings John! Evening my friend! John 13:8 doesn't say that Judas was not chosen. This would make it a contradiction to John 6:70 which says he was chosen. John 13:8 simply says "I do not say this concerning all of you, for I know whom I have chosen." The reference to "not all of you" could be a reference to the promised blessing of JOhn 13:7. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, Good Morning! I really don't see any justification (except the demand of one's presuppositions) for connecting verse 7 with 18. John 13:18 clearly shows that Christ had not chosen all of the 12 and we agree that the unamed person was Judas. Brother John |

Greetings John! Good morning to you as well my friend! I think you may have mis-read my response. I didn't say v. 7, but v. 17. My point was simply that a contradiction involves one verse saying one thing while another verse says the exact opposite - in the same terms. John 13:18 does not say, "I did not choose one of you". It says, "I am not speaking of all of you, for I know whom I have chosen." This can be interpreted in a couple of ways. 1) Your way: "I am not speaking of all of you" means that not all were chosen. 2) Or: "I am not speaking of all of you" could refer to the blessing just mentioned in v. 17. In this case, the phrase "I know whom I have chosen" affirms His knowledge of what will or will not happen to those He has chosen. For it to contradict John 6:70, it would have to say, "I did not choose all of you." I do agree that the unnamed person is Judas! The difference between this verse and John 6:70 though is that 6:70 specifically says that He chose all 12, while 13:18 does not say that Judas was not choosen. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
