Subject: Do you forgive Judas? |
Bible Note: Savant, welcome to the forum and please don't think that all questions posed to this forum are as inane as "Do you forgive Judas?" I believe you gave as good an answer as any, in view of the inept question. It struck me as singularly hilarious to walk into my Sunday School class some bright Lord's day morning and say, "Good morning, class. Everybody in favor of forgiving Judas raise your hand...... Now, let's vote on Saul of Tarsus, that mean Pharisee who persecuted Christians. Shall we forgive him or cut all his letters out of the Bible and throw them away? Why, there are so many bad guys in the Bible that I suppose we could spend the whole hour deciding which ones to forgive." ...... And, oh yes Savant, I nearly forgot: I like the last question best of your trio: "Even more important, are you forgiven?" --Hank |
