1 | Did God forgive them after Jesus asked? | Acts | alyzza | 221532 | ||
Thanks to everyone who helped me to sort things out. BradK, I read what you posted and am having an aha moment. Is that it then, that since Judas was not repentant then he sealed his own fate? If he had been repentant, he could have turned things around? I feel bad for having asked the question in the first place but can’t help but wonder if God forgave Judas and the rest after Jesus asked him to do so. Did he? Is there a passage in the Bible that says whether he did or didn’t? Or do I even have the right to know? I am reading the Bible chronologically and I’m now in the middle of Jeremiah. I think perhaps that I am jumping ahead of myself and that as I get farther along it will start to make sense. It’s a fault of mine, always jumping ahead. Beja, I jumped ahead and read Romans. Now I see and think the big picture will emerge after I’ve read All of the Bible. I probably haven’t even gotten to the answers for some of the questions I have. |

2 | Jesus asking for forgiveness | Acts | alyzza | 221506 | ||
I just can’t comprehend that if Judas was created for this purpose, how he couldn’t make it to Heaven. The Lord intended that he do this deed. So he really had no choice in the matter. What if before he committed suicide maybe he had begged for God’s mercy? Also, before Christ died he asked God to forgive them for they knew not what they did. They didn’t know that they did this to fulfill a prophecy. So did God forgive them, as Jesus had asked, and then allow them to enter Heaven? That’s another of my incomprehensible questions. As for Hitler otoh, I don’t believe he was created to carry out a prophecy, or was he? I don’t want to get into the free will debate, but maybe Hitler did (unlike Judas) have a choice in the matter. Since he chose to be an evil person I can understand why he may not have made it to Heaven. I can only hope I wasn’t created to somehow be an awful person and then suffer the consequences after I die. That would be a major no-win situation for me. I don’t think I’m a bad person and I believe that salvation is only possible through God’s grace and hope and pray that I’m on his good list. Beja, the way you put it brought the lights on a little bit. Should I stop beating myself up over this? |

3 | Acting according to the will of God. | Acts | alyzza | 221494 | ||
Still confused. If Judas et al acted according to the will of God, then why didn't they go to Heaven? | ||||||
4 | Judas paradox | Acts | alyzza | 221470 | ||
This question has bothered me for years and I don’t even know how to ask it. Ok, in order to save us from sin Jesus had to be crucified. Was that God’s will? If so, then by His will somebody had to betray Jesus and people then had to be ordered to crucify him in order for this to take place. What if no one would have wanted to betray him and carry out the crucifixion? Then Jesus would not have been crucified and we would not have been saved. What if it hadn’t happened? Since it had to happen, did Judas and those who carried out his crucifixion make it to Heaven? If they had chosen otherwise how would we have been saved? Please pardon my awkwardness in asking this, but it seems like such a paradox and there had to be bad people. Please help me to understand this in the simplest terms possible. | ||||||
