Bible Question:
The difference between "one" and "One" and the difference between the NASB and Amplified is that on which we will hinge our outlook for the eternal future of Judas. Did He know Jesus as the One or did he only say "Lord, Lord" and didn't do the things He said? I ask this question because I am reconsidering my position stated in past discussions of Judas Iscariot. I wonder if a Greek student can give us the renderings of the various manuscripts and teach about how the addition of one Greek letter can make "He it is" into "He is the One". I am afraid that Judas was just an acquaintance of Christ as shown by his "friendship"; and by the Greek word used by Jesus for friend. Did Judas know the One? If you feel that he did not know Him in the Garden, should we still not judge him because we do not know his final relationship? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Luk 4:41, 22:3; Jam 2:19 ... The Greek reads autos (he) esti (to be), so I'd say both are okay. Did Judas know the One? I think he knew all about Him, in his head, as the demons do (Luk 4:41, Jam 2:19) ... Satan got in (Luk 22:3). If we saw Him, in a crowd, could we point Him out? Hope this helps, Searcher |
