Very interesting. I like how you put everything together. Never thought of this. I do believe Judas had good intentions. He was so distraught at what happened to Jesus that he Killed himself. Mathew 10 when Jesus sends out the 12 is the clincher for me.

Interesting question. Did Pharaoh fulfull scripture? Did God harden his heart or was it already hardened? Judas became the son of perdition. He listened to satan instead of God. In this sense he did NOT do the will of God. Jesus even told him to go quickly and do what he had planned. John...

I understand your point Stranger. I just don't agree with it and this subject is not that important to me to argue endlessly. I believe in free will. I also believe that on rare occasions God picks persons to fulfill His plan. Judas was one of these persons. We cannot be certain that Jesus...

I don't know. To warn us about the unpleasant place? Of course, to you this will NOT be important... But isn't it still better to be with God than to just disappear??

We are heirs at the moment be believe. There is no guarantee that we will remain heirs. We will receive our inheritance at the end of our life. Ephesians 1:18 18I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of...

Taken is saying that the Apostles were not saved until after the resurrection and their complete understanding of Christ. Maybe Peter when he declared Jesus to be the Son of God (but I'm not sure what Taken believes because his beliefs are too odd).

Well, I really haven't followed along, so if an apology is necessary, then I do apologize. I'm not sure what is being said and don't have enough time to go back and read all of the posts. I'll say this regarding evil: The reason there is evil will not ever be understood by us humans. We...

Amen to that. Especially the problem of evil. I misundestood...

P.S. I agree that we should not be following signs. The only sign we should need, is the sign of Jonah. The resurrection.

@BreadOfLife was saying that Judas was casting out demons in the name of GOD, and that only a born again person can do this. Jesus replied with Mathew 7:23, which you posted as proof that BoL was wrong. But he's right because Jesus did not mean that they WERE NOT casting out devil's in the...

This does not apply.

Yes. You certainly prove with the above that you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you Your kindness and thoughtfulness shine through. I do find that those who believe in osas act as you do.... Not very christianly.

LOL That's not a testimony. Even your terms are confused. That's what is commonly called an accusation. So everything becomes moot? I think so. Not left with too many words are you? Since you've been found out... I've never heard such nonsense as you expouse.

Could you give me the verse? You're so big on grace, and then you say the above. Your personal experience does not Christianity make. When you DID believe, were you saved at that point, or did you have some things you had to learn first? If Peter had died one year into Jesus' ministry would he...

I just fell on this post and haven't been reading along. The problem of evil is simple? Is this what you're saying? You've figured it out? Please post the reply. I'll be waiting for it. sorry if I've misunderstood...

@"ByGrace" Difficult to believe you gave Taken a LIKE in post 415. Sometimes I wonder if you understand what people are saying. Read his post again. He's saying you ARE NOT SAVED immediately upon believing. Is THIS also what YOU believe? How many years of learning does it take according to...

So, for those reading along, if someone decides to follow Christ, it's going to take them A LOT of time, like 3 years for the disciples, to become saved? Are you serious? I wish you'd say what chuch you go to. Probably none. You heard some guy on youtube and it sounded good to you. NO...

What makes you think I need to listen to YOU? See. I can't speak to you so let's just stop right here. I'll bet you're younger than the years I've been a Christian. And YES, it IS your idea. All this procedure one has to go through to become a believer Christian. Peter became saved when Jesus...

I'm not placing demands. Just repeating what the N.T. says. Didn't Jesus leave us with commands? Are we supposed to follow them? Are we going to mess up every now and then? Does this mean we give up?

Wait. Are you saying that because I say the Lord's commandments MUST BE KEPT, that it means I keep them? No! They must be kept, meaning that we are to strive to keep them. I don't know anybody who keeps all the laws. We can only give it our best shot... But we cannot say that we SHOULD NOT...
