42 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | Radioman | 28546 | ||
Nolan: I am astounded by some of the things I read on this forum. All my life I believed Jesus went to heaven and Judas went to hell. But according to some on this forum, I was wrong. According to some, Jesus went to hell and Judas went to heaven. I do not wish to hurt anyone, but, honestly, it seems to me that if the Scriptures (the verses quoted by you and kalos) do not clearly and plainly indicate that Judas went to hell, then we can never be sure of anything the Bible says.

John Gill's Exposition of the Bible NASB Acts 1:25 "to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." AMPLIFIED Acts 1:25 To take the place in this ministry and receive the position of an apostle, from which Judas fell away and went astray to go [where he belonged] to his own [proper] place. "Judas chose his own fate of hell by rejecting Christ. It is not unfair to say that Judas and all others who go to hell belong there (compare John 6:70)" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). John Gill's Exposition of the Bible Acts 1:25 that he might go to his own place; which may be understood of Judas, and of his going to hell, as the just punishment of his sin; which is commonly so called by the Jews, who often explain this phrase, "his place", by hell; as when it is said of Laban, (Genesis 31:55) that he "returned to his place", it intimates, say they, that he returned to his place, which was prepared for him in hell; and so likewise when it is said of Balaam, (Numbers 24:25) that he "returned to his place", they observe, that "he did not return from his evil way, but returned to his place; and so intimates by saying, to his place, that which was prepared for him in hell, as the Rabbins of blessed memory say; "they came everyone from his own place", (Job 2:11) a man from his house, a man from his country it is not written, but a man from his place, which was prepared for him in hell; and because they came to show mercy to Job, they were delivered from hell, and became worthy of the world to come; and so here, and "he returned to his place", (Mnyhgb wl Nkwmh) , "which was prepared for him in hell"." And another of their writers, on the same passage, has this remark, and he returned to his place, and he does not say, "he went on his way, for he was driven out of his way, and went down to hell." |

Matthew Henry NASB Acts 1:25 "to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." AMPLIFIED Acts 1:25 To take the place in this ministry and receive the position of an apostle, from which Judas fell away and went astray to go [where he belonged] to his own [proper] place. "25. that he might go to his own place--A euphemistic or softened expression of the awful future of the traitor" (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/JamiesonFaussetBrown). "from which Judas by transgression fell, threw himself, by deserting and betraying his Master, from the place of an apostle, of which he was unworthy, that he might go to his own place, the place of a traitor, the fittest place for him, not only to the gibbet, but to hell—this was his own place. "Note, Those that betray Christ, as they fall from the dignity of relation to him, so they fall into all misery. It is said of Balaam (Num. 24:25) that he went to his own place, that is, says one of the rabbin, he went to hell. "Dr. Whitby quotes Ignatius saying, There is appointed to every man idios topos — a proper place, which imports the same with that of God’s rendering to every man according to his works. And our Saviour had said that Judas’s own place should be such that it had been better for him that he had never been born (Mt. 26:24)—his misery such as to be worse than not being. "Judas had been a hypocrite, and hell is the proper place of such; other sinners, as inmates, have their portion with them, Mt. 24:51.

Smith's Bible Dictionary NASB Acts 1:25 "to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." AMPLIFIED Acts 1:25 To take the place in this ministry and receive the position of an apostle, from which Judas fell away and went astray to go [where he belonged] to his own [proper] place. ************* Robertson's Word Pictures of the New Testament "To his own place (eiB ton topon ton idion). A bold and picturesque description of the destiny of Judas worthy of Dante's Inferno. There is no doubt in Peter's mind of the destiny of Judas nor of his own guilt. He made ready his own berth and went to it." (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/RobertsonsWordPictures/) ************* John Wesley's Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible 1:25 Fell - By his transgression - Some time before his death: to go to his own place - That which his crimes had deserved, and which he had chosen for himself, far from the other apostles, in the region of death. (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/WesleysExplanatoryNotes/) ************* Easton's Bible Dictionary 'He perished in his guilt, and "went unto his own place" (Acts 1:25 ).' (http://www.biblestudytools.net/Dictionaries/EastonBibleDictionary/) ************* Smith's Bible Dictionary Ju’das Iscar’iot The end of Judas. -- (1) Judas, when he saw the results of his betrayal, "repented himself." (Matthew 27:3-10) He saw his sin in a new light, and "his conscience bounded into fury." (2) He made ineffectual struggles to escape, by attempting to return the reward to the Pharisees, and when they would not receive it, he cast it down at their feet and left it. (Matthew 27:5) But, (a) restitution of the silver did not undo the wrong; (b) it was restored in a wrong spirit, --a desire for relief rather than hatred of sin; (c) he confessed to the wrong party, or rather to those who should have been secondary, and who could not grand forgiveness; (d) "compunction is not conversion." (3) The money was used to buy a burial-field for poor strangers. (Matthew 27:6-10) (4) Judas himself, in his despair, went out and hanged himself, (Matthew 27:5) at Aceldama, on the southern slope of the valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem, and in the act he fell down a precipice and was dashed into pieces. (Acts 1:18) "And he went to his own place." (Acts 1:25 ) "A guilty conscience must find neither hell or pardon." (5) Judas’ repentance may be compared to that of Esau. (Genesis 27:32-38; Hebrews 12:16,17) It is contrasted with that of Peter. Judas proved his repentance to be false by immediately committing another sin, suicide. Peter proved his to be true by serving the Lord faithfully ever after. --ED.) (http://www.biblestudytools.net/Dictionaries/SmithsBibleDictionary/) |

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. John 17:12. In this verse Judas is called the son of perdition. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thess 2:3. In this verse the anti-Christ is called the son of perdition. |

50 | The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 | Genesis | Radioman | 31256 | ||
So many Questions, Notes and Answers to address one question. That must be a question of earth-shaking importance. Does the answer to this question have any bearing on the Trinity, the Deity of Christ, salvation by grace through faith? No, no and no. Is it a question that affects my eternal destiny, my walk with the Lord, possible loss of rewards at the judgment? No, no and no. Does it have anything to do with heresy, apostasy, a great falling away, the date of the Second Coming? No, no, no and no. Well, then, what is so colossal, sensational, stupendous, and tremendous that the question causes such a stir? The question is: Who are the Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4? We MUST know. Inquiring minds want to know. With the war on terrorism, euthansia, stem cell research, abortion, eliminating God from the public schools, gay and lesbian rights, AIDS, STDs, increasing violent crime, mothers murdering their own babies, the church all but dead in the Laodecian age, etc., the greatest issue of our day, the answer to which we await with bated breath, is: Who are the Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4? Everything depends on the answer to this most crucial of all questions. Please don't keep us in suspense any longer. All you speculators, Lone Rangers, armchair experts, and other serious students of the Bible, please tell us if you know. |

51 | Cain and Seth's wives descended from who | Genesis | Radioman | 45382 | ||
Sctt: You sure go through a lot of mental gymnastics and acrobatics to twist the scriptures to fit your notion of "the way things oughta be." Heard on Christian radio: "Look for people who always seem stuck on one over-emphasized point of theology. This is the person who bangs the proverbial drum for his own little area. Some crazy quirk. And it usually is not some great divine insight. They'd like you to think they're so close to God that they have a great divine insight that no one else has. The fact of the matter is they're seeking a platform for the feeding of their ego. Watch for people with a lack of balance." TEV) (2) A fool does not care whether he understands a thing or not; all he wants to do is show how smart he is. (15) Intelligent people are always eager and ready to learn. (ESV) (2) A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. ... (15) An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. (NLT) (2) Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions. |

NICE IS NOT THE POINT By CT Columnist Marilyn Chandler McEntyre From Christianity Today magazine, November 13, 2000 'Some time ago I read the synoptic Gospels with a group of literature students, only a few of whom professed to be "reasonably familiar" with the material in those books. We made our way through the Nativity stories, the Sermon on the Mount, the miracles, and the teachings. 'We struggled through some of Jesus' "hard sayings" and disconcerting acts, such as withering the fig tree and casting demons into swine. ("They were innocent swine!" someone protested. "They belonged to some innocent pig farmer!") I was glad for the chance to retrieve some of the shock value of stories so often flattened in an effort to make them palatable. 'As the unit on the Gospels drew to a close, I asked the professing Christians, "How has this reading of these accounts of Jesus' life and ministry changed your understanding of him?" A hand went up. "I don't know exactly how to put this," the young woman mused, "but this isn't the Jesus I grew up with. He doesn't seem very ... nice."'

More than 30 Questions, Notes and Answers to address one question. That must be a question of earth-shaking importance. Does the answer to this question have any bearing on the Trinity, the Deity of Christ, salvation by grace through faith? No, no and no. Is it a question that affects my eternal destiny, my walk with the Lord, possible loss of rewards at the judgment? No, no and no.

Well, then, what is so colossal, sensational, stupendous, and tremendous that the question causes such a stir? The question is: Whom did Cain marry? Was it a younger sister, an older sister, an aunt, a niece, a descendant of his maternal grandmother? We MUST know. Inquiring minds want to know: Did Cain marry his niece? With the Mideast on the brink of war, euthansia, stem cell research, abortion, eliminating God from the public schools, gay and lesbian rights, AIDS, S.I.D.S, STDs, increasing violent crime, mothers murdering their own babies, the church all but dead in the Laodecian age, etc., the greatest issue of our day, the answer to which we await with bated breath, is: Whom did Cain marry? Everything depends on the answer to this most crucial of all questions. Please don't keep us in suspense any longer. All you speculators, Lone Rangers, armchair experts, and other serious students of the Bible, please tell us if you know. (Re-posted.) This is the most asinine, irrelevant, trivial, unedifying, useless, unprofitable debate I've ever seen. Who knows who Cain married? Who cares? The theory that Cain married his sister, a later daughter of Adam, is unsupported by the Bible? Unsupported? FYI: Who Cain Married is NOT one of the essentials of the Christian faith. To my knowledge, no church ever split over the issue of who Cain married. No wars were fought over it. No Reformer had five minutes to devote to the issue. I can't imagine why anyone would be so dogmatic and fanatical as to waste his time trying to push this. The man in the street, the cop on the beat, the butcher, the baker, the pastor, the president -- NOBODY cares who Cain married. Nobody, that is, except for one or two Lone Ranger Internet self-appointed Bible experts. Quit worrying about the nameless wife of a man who lived approximately 6,000 years ago. |

55 | Placing of sun, moon and stars | Gen 1:17 | Radioman | 6797 | ||
Subject: Placing of sun, moon and stars Lionstrong says: As to 2 Cor 10:5, “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,....” Some consider the doctrines of evolution to be speculations raised up against the knowledge of God. Radioman says: You can't destroy one speculation (theory of evolution) with another speculation (placing of sun, moon and stars). You may or may not know anything about astronomy, but God does. One need not go through mental gymnastics and invent a strange interpretation of a verse in Genesis in order to refute evolution. The existing body of evidence refuting evolution is more than adequate. Lionstrongs says: Now, let it be conceded that some of our aged scholars within the forum may not find in this meager note much that is good for their own personal edification, but what in my posting was BAD for it? Radioman says: What in your posting was good for anyone's edification? Lionstrong says: What in this posting warrants such ridicule, castigation and censorship, however frustrated one may be by such postings? Radioman says: The only thing in your note that warrants criticism is the following: "Subject: Placing of sun, moon and stars "Note: It appears that God did not create the sun, moon and stars in place. He created them and then "placed" them. Maybe that's why the light from the stars, though great distances from the earth, is already here. They were created near the earth, then moved out to their places. " Radioman says: I find it odd that you post a note asking, What in this posting warrants such ridicule, castigation and censorship? You've already been the recipient of several clear and unambiguous posts explaining to you why your postings are offensive and the target of criticism. ************************* Lionstrong says: What word of the note was unwholesome? Radioman says: Nowhere in Lockman's criteria for voting is the word "wholesome" even mentioned. Lockman's criteria is as follows: What does my vote mean? Is this posting appropriate to the subject matter? Vote YES if the subject matter of this posting reasonably fits within the scope of the others in this subject. Vote NO if the subject matter of this posting does not fit within the the scope of other postings to this subject. For example, a post could have been submitted in error. Is this posting biblically supported? Vote YES if this posting appropriately used Scripture to support its point. (Note: Even though "more can be better," a lot of verse references in a post does not necessarily mean they are properly used. On the contrary, a single verse reference or quote from Scripture may be all that is needed to clarify and solidify a point). Vote NO if a post fails to support itself Biblically. Either a conclusion or assumption was made that lacked sufficient Scripture, or Scripture was used out of context. Some times a brief post will refer to a previous biblically supported post by the same author, rather than voting NO, see the definition of "Not Applicable" below. In general, is this a good posting? Vote YES if, based primarily on your votes regarding the appropriateness and biblical support, this post offers significant input to a subject. Vote NO if, based primarily on your votes regarding the appropriateness and biblical support, this post does not offer significant input to a subject. (The next 2 questions may help some users to know whether a post contains what is considered, to the Bible student, "controversial" or "denominationally biased".) Is this verse or subject controversial? Vote YES if this post is regarding a subject where more that one major Biblical interpretation exist. Vote NO if this post is regarding a subject where differing major Biblical interpretations do not exist. Is this note denominationally biased? Vote YES if this post is regarding a subject where major denominations take opposing positions. Vote NO if this post is regarding a subject where major denominations do not take opposing positions. |
