Bible Note: Dear Brother Guinn, I believe that the context is very important here in 1 Tim.4. The context is dealing with a description of false teachers- not salvation:-)I think the distinction is relevant. They are apostasizing from the faith- not necessarily "loosing" their salvation. I simply can't find any compelling scriptural support to agree that Judas "was just as saved as any of the other disciples." With Judas we see several indications of his character and nature. In John 6:70, he is called a devil,in 12:6 he is called a thief, in 13:2 Satan put the thought in his heart to betray Him, and in 13:27, Satan entered him. To me,these seem more indicative and descriptive of an unsaved person than that of one who is saved! More telling is Matt.27:3-5, where Judas shows remorse, repents, and ultimately hangs himself. In contrast we have 2 Cor.7:10 "For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death." Though the topic of Judas' salvation is debatable,I believe the tragedy is that his sorrow was the former and not the latter. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
