1 | Desire for GOOD? | Hebrews | KumKum | 180377 | ||
I just want to pose questions. Im afraid to put forward my own opinion, but i'm interested in how Jesus became a sin or how he carried the sin of the world. Why he sweat blood etc. ? Could it be becouse i COULD have prevented the death of Judas Iskariot? But if he would'nt he would be the ultimate human ruler of the world and therefor a failure ? Could it be that Judas and Jesus killed eachother with desire for good ? If i was God on earth and all knowing and i KNEW that the betrayer would suffer hell on earth becouse of me, i might sweat blood. I sometimes think about Judas and want to hug him and say that "Its ok, you wanted freedome like the rest of us". Thoughts ? |

2 | Desire for GOOD? | Hebrews | rodent_tamer | 180560 | ||
First of all, I do think it is a simile simply because it uses the word "like". Perhaps his sweating was so profuse that it was thick LIKE drops of blood. Also, I don't know if this is accurate, but I've heard of a condition that when under extreme stress, it is possible to actually perspire blood. I don't remember the actual phyisical causes, but it's worth looking up. That being said, you seem to assume that Jesus was in anguish because of Judas Iscariot's suicide. Remember that Judas betrayed Jesus and instead of repenting as Peter did, he committed suicide. If Judas suffered "hell on earth" as you said, it wasn't Jesus's fault....that is, Jesus didn't encourage him to do so or force him to make that choice. You seem to view Judas as some sort of victim. I don't understand what you mean by: "It's ok, you wanted freedom like the rest of us". What freedom did he want? You also seem to assume that Jesus and Judas "killed each other with desire for good". I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but Jesus didn't "kill" Judas. Judas killed himself. There are many speculations scholars have as to why it is believed that Judas turned Jesus in to the authorities. One belief is that perhaps Judas was a zealot. Rome occupied the Jews and there were groups of Jews who were "freedom fighters" "rebels" (zealots) etc who wanted to overthrow the Roman rulers from their land. Some Jews believed and expected that the Messiah would be a political ruler....one that would overthrow whatever political group that ruled over them. In other words, that he would become an actual physical king and establish God's kingdom here on earth. Perhaps Judas being a zealot realized this wasn't Jesus's mission and became disallusioned and therefore turned him over to the authorities that wanted him dead. It is also believed that his motives may have been purely greed driven...ie..the 30 pieces of silver. Who really knows for sure? My point is, that Judas didn't betray Jesus out of some noble desire for good. He was a trusted disciple who saw and heard Jesus first hand and sneekily he ratted him out and to add injury to insult, he betrayed him with a kiss. He was deceptive and a traitor. He didn't do it because he understood that Jesus needed to die in order to save the world from their sins. Is this is what you are thinking? The point of Jesus's anguish in that passage has to do with what was about to happen to him. He was about to face an excruciating death. He was bearing the sins and the weight of the world on his shoulders. The whole reason for his coming to this world was about to happen. What was about to happen to him was monumental. In essence, it was like he was on death row, the night before his execution. I don't think he was sweating blood because he felt sorry for Judas' inner turmoil for having betrayed the Son of God. Not that he didn't love Judas despite his betrayal, but Jesus was in extreme anguish for what was about to happen. He was about to be found, arrested, tried, humiliated, torchured, mocked, rejected by his own people, jeered and crucified as a common criminal. Everything was about to change. |

I thought what Jesus said always happened and he chose the twelve. Like when he wanted the pharisees to know that he had power to forgive sin he told the guy to take his thing and go home. 1st samuel 2:6 and 7 also 1st samuel 2:25 They didnt obey their father because the Lord _wanted_ to kill them. If the books are called 1st and 2nd books of samuel in the KJV (9th book of the OT). I thought Judas had a respect for Jesus and didnt want him to be messing around with the obvious sinners and the poor and the sick. That he wanted him to use is power in anger to redeem Israel. He could raise dead. Turn stone into bread. Would make a good Warlord or something. These are just my speculations and God forgive me if im doing something wrong here. |
