Subject: Why did Jesus encourage to betray? |
Bible Note: Hi, Tim! Point 1: I agree with you completely! Point 2: I disagree with your "either or" conclusion... I have simply stated that much of the argument for Judas' damnation does not take into consideration much of the actual experience... I agree with your statement on God's mercy and Judas possible demise... yet, this is not how it has been expressed on this thread... the exposition has been that God destined Judas to fail than condemned him for it! I sought to introduce all the factors and the possibility that since Judas was destined to perform a horrific part in the Salvific Plan, God's Mercy would extend to him in accordance to his powerlessness when it came to fulfilling the prophecy of Jesus' betrayal! But, as you pointed out, not everyone is able to see (observe) Judas from my perspective! God Bless! Angel |
