1 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | kalos | 160477 | ||
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 |

2 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | Aliennow | 161165 | ||
But James is speaking to us after the New Covenant is in effect. In the Old Covenant sins were forgiven by other means. Do you think that God allowed Judas to sin as an example to us? I know well that God does not tempt us today or does not lead us to sin. Thanks, Aliennow |
