Subject: "Sons" of perdition? |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, Thank for your responses on this forum, I have enjoyed conversing with you. I have been kicked off the forum and not told why. Tim, a believer is a believer, regardless of the point of view. It is the job of a teacher to look for the love in another believer by figuring out where their foundations lay. No matter how mixed up one may be a teacher needs patience and must be long suffering towards another believer through humility and search to understand how a fellow believer arrived to the point of view they may hold. It is customary for many full time users of this forum to put other believers down. This is done by various words of hurt and is not ok. Nor will it be tolerated by our Father who is always tuned in. I have great hope for you and I hope this all makes sense to you. I am your brother in Christ regardless of my point of view or yours, for one day we will all know the Truth. Regarding Judas, He is not the son of perdition nor is he lost. Matt 19:28 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. KJV Judas is one of the twelve mentioned in the above verse by Jesus who foreknew who would deliver Him up way before the betrayal and still Judas is promised to sit as one of the twelve. Also, Luke 9:1-2 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. KJV Judas is also one of the twelve that Jesus sent healing the sick. Is there really a question of whether Judas was a true believer or if he had the Spirit within, considering he was sent to perform miracles and heal and many other things which could only be done by one indwelt fully by the Holy Spirit? Bless you, Love Fountain2 Hos 9:7 7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
