Subject: Judas - betrayer not savior |
Bible Note: We all know that Judas' betrayal was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. What is your point? Neither Judas' betrayal of Christ nor his return of the money contributed one single, solitary thing to our salvation. The Lord Jesus Christ -- not Judas -- fulfilled what had to be done for our salvation. Jesus, not Judas, is our Savior. Jesus, not Judas, went to heaven. When Judas betrayed Christ, Judas did nothing to contribute to our salvation. Christ, not Judas, gave his life for our salvation. Thus, Judas in no way fulfilled what had to be done for our salvation. To say otherwise is to imply that "Judas be praised! Had it not been for Judas, we would all perish eternally." |
