Bible Question (short): Is the request of Christ Granted? |
Question (full): Is this request granted? Lu 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. In local telivision in the Philippines a certain pastor aired his teaching regarding this verse. We are going to meet him to have a friendly discussion after December 25,. The teaching of the said pastors goes: 1. Judas was forgiven because he just fulfilled his role in the death of Jesus Christ. a)In the case of judas, his reasoning that the reason why judas did his part because Christ allows the devil to enter the heart of judas All chracter that participated in the death of Jesus Christ was forgiven, pontious pilate, the scribes pharisees and other group of people that gave way to crussified Christ is all saints. The verse that quoted to prove his claim is the verse I quoted. "forgive them for they know not why they do" It means he said, all character in that said events was forgiven because they only fulfill thier role in that scripted way of salvation. Any comments are welcome agree, or disagree. God bless, Johnny |
