Subject: Why did Jesus encourage to betray? |
Bible Note: Tim: I agree with you 100 percent. Let's compare Judas and Peter. After Peter denied knowing Jesus, he later was filled with the Holy Spirit and under his preaching 5,000 men "who heard the word believed." It is said that Peter and virtually every other (true) Apostle died a martyr's death for their testimony and the cause of Christ. After Judas betrayed Christ, he allegedly repented of his sin, then to prove the sincerity of his repentance went out and committed another sin -- suicide. By their fruits you shall know them. Is suicide the fruit of the Spirit or the works of the flesh? Are converts and proven Christian character the fruit of the Spirit or the works of the flesh? When comparing the two, there is a distinct difference between Judas, the "son of perdition" who went to "his own place", and Peter -- the Apostle, human author of two NT books and Christian martyr. |
