1 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | serenetime | 29713 | ||
Love Fountain, Thanks so much for your kind words. I too am so deeply torn in my heart to seek and show the truth of this question of Judas. And the fact that I feel so strongly about this thread and about that have I seen nowhere that anyone has given scripture to back up this belief in Judas damned to hell, and Jesus's disciples getting slack. I'm sorry, but God is no respecter of person's. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Which means that he's always been and felt the same, and nothing has changed. In Heb.13:8(KJV) Jesus Christ, the same yesterday,today, and forever. Heb.13:8 (NIV)Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Acts.10:34 (KJV) Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,"Of a truth I percieve that God is no respecter of person's. Acts.10:34 (NIV)Then Peter began to speak:" I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. (JUDAS DID COME TO DO WHAT WAS RIGHT) John 10:30 (KJV) I and My Father are One. John 10:30 (NIV) I and the Father are One. Mal.3:6 (kjv) For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Mal. 3:6 (NIV) I the Lord do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. I think it's real interesting that if Jesus, God the Father are one, and God is no respecter of person's (Peter says HE KNOWS it's the truth), and that God and Jesus are the same yesterday, today and forever, and for I am the the Lord, I change not. What is this telling us?? Common sense, the scriptures are not so complex that we can't see the truth for what it is. Everyone else in the Bible gets a break but Judas, right? And he repented and threw the silver back. I mean Judas says "I have betrayed innocent blood". Duh! He was sorrowful. NT tells us that the only sin that is not forgiven is against the Holy Spirit. Matt 12:31,32 (KJV) Wherefore I say unto you, ALL manner of sin and blasphemy SHALL BE FORGIVEN unto men: but the blashemy against the Holy Ghost SHALL NOT be forgiven unto men. 32) And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM, but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Matt. 12:31 (NIV) And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blashemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32) (NIV) Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age, or the age to come. I think these verses SAY IT ALL. Only against the HOLY SPIRIT will it NOT be forgiven. Wouldn't you agree???? Serenetime | ||||||

Serenetime: Did you know . . . "The text of Scripture can be understood when taken at face value, making allowances for obvious figures of speech, near/far interpretations, its context, and comparative passages of Scripture that harmonize with it, without contradiction." Hermeneutic 'Hermeneutic is the method of interpretation that one uses to study something written or spoken; it is how one understands the Scriptures. To have validity, one's hermeneutic must be consistent and without contradiction and must never be governed by a theological predisposition or school of thought. In other words, if hermeneutic is controlled by theology then the Bible can be twisted to say whatever that theology would have it say. 'By employing a face value method of interpretation, the reader of Scripture attempts to discover the normal, natural, customary sense of the text as it was intended by the Author/author (God/human) at the time that it was written. 'When a consistent hermeneutic is applied, the meaning of Scripture can be understood. Then, as A.W. Tozer put it, "When you find the truth of Scripture, that truth always stands in judgment of you; you never stand in judgment of it." 'TWO CONDITIONS FOR INTERPRETATION '1) Understand that we are working with English translations of texts originally written in other languages. '2) Scripture never contradicts Scripture. 'FIVE PRINCIPLES OF INTERPRETATION '1) Seek to discover the Author/author's intended meaning. '2) All Scripture is to be taken in its proper context be it words, phrases, passages, chapters, books,etc. Remember, "a text taken out of context is a pretext." '3) All Scripture is to be compared with other Scripture. "The best interpreter of Scripture is other Scripture," said Martin Luther. '4) Determine the literal reference of figures of speech. '5) Recognize that many passages of Scripture, in both Testaments, have both near and far implications and applications. 'The text of Scripture can be understood when taken at face value, making allowances for obvious figures of speech, near/far interpretations, its context, and comparative passages of Scripture that harmonize with it, without contradiction. '"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)' (www.signministries.org/hermeneutic.htm) kalos |

Kalos, may I add ... CONTEXT -look at the word or verse within the context of the paragraph or thought, since there were no paragraphs in the original -then look at the connecting thoughts -look at the entire book -and the whole Bible. S |

Searcher56: I agree with you regarding context. I quote from my previous posting: "2) All Scripture is to be taken in its proper context be it words, phrases, passages, chapters, books,etc. Remember, "a text taken out of context is a pretext." Thank you, Steve, for your additional thoughts regarding context. Grace to you, kalos |
