Just bizarre that you think Judas is in Heaven.


Matthew 26:24

New King James Version

24 The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
But Judas wasn’t called an unbeliever though. Wouldn’t you say that makes him saved?

Good grief man are you ever right about anything?
I’m right about this. The verses I quoted prove it. Sad to see so many people nowadays just can’t accept everything the Bible says, but I know why you can’t accept Judas was evidently saved.

No I wouldn't.

What did Judas believe? He never acknowledged or addressed Jesus as Lord, or Son of God, or even Messiah. He called Him Teacher, Rabbi, and master. Unlike Peter who actually denied Jesus 3 times who DID acknowledge Him as Lord, and Son of God.

That’s not what Jesus said so I’m with Christ. You’re free to follow whoever, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Said the one who flatly REJECTS what Jesus says about those who receive eternal life shall neve perish.

You're one to talk.

Seems the Biblical evidence is against your theory so I’ll just stick with what the Bible says.

Mat 26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
Mat 26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

Mat 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

You're not a bot are you?

I just showed you what the Bible, and Jesus Himself said about him!

Matthew 26:24
New King James Version

24 The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

I read the verse you posted and it says Judas is a betrayer, not an unbeliever. Those aren’t the same things. Peter denied Jesus three times, isn’t that betrayal, too? Yes, However, Peter was also a believer. Being a betrayer and a believer are not incompatible.

Speaking of verses, I also showed you where Jesus said to the disciples that, having left their homes and families, they’d receive eternal life. Judas did that very thing:

Matthew 19:28-30
28Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife e or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

Additionally, in John 6, Peter referred to himself and the other 11 disciples as those who believe in Jesus as the Holy One of God. Since Peter knew Judas personally, I’m going to have to take his word for it as more weightier than other opinions:

John 6:68,69
68Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

Hilarious claim since you flatly reject what Jesus SAID about believing and never perishing.

Those who believe are given eternal life.
Those given eternal life shall never perish.

Joh 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

You certainly have a knack for ignoring important parts of verses. Matt 26:24 says a lot MORE than what you noted. How could it be said that "it would have been good for that man if he HAD NOT BEEN born". Good heavens, man. Read the WHOLE verse.

But then, you left out "and they shall never perish" when you attempted to comment on John 10:28. Yeah. Just leave out any part that refutes your theories.

The ones who are unbelievers are referring to the disciples who left him. The betrayer was Judas.

John 6
66From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.

What did Jesus mean by “it would be better for him if he had not been born?” That doesn’t refute anything I had just quoted from the Bible.

Believers will never perish. If i understand you correctly, you believe those who stop believing have eternal life too. Sorry, but that theory isn’t found in scripture.

Beckie's point was that John included unbelief with betrayal. But you are free to ignore that.

seems like you went out of your way to tell a completely avoidable lie.
No lie. Of course you don't believe what Jesus said in John 5:24; that when a person becomes a believer they possess eternal life, and then in John 10:28 Jesus said recipients of eternal life shall never perish.

You KNOW you don't believe any of that. Everyone has seen your posts and claims.

I said:
Those who believe are given eternal life.
Those given eternal life shall never perish.
If you really did, you would easily believe in eternal security.

Rather, you have a severe inability to connect the obvious dots. When Jesus gives believers, it is WHEN they believe, as John 5:24 very clearly says. Then, in 10:28, Jesus said those He gives eternal life, which are believers only, shall never perish.

So, from the MOMENT one believes, they POSSESS eternal life and shall never perish.

Which you don't believe. And have said so repeatedly.

No. The they who did not believe are plural and the who that would betray Him is singular. It’s referring to different persons.

Later in the chapter, Peter dispels all doubt about it by saying that he and the other remaining 11 believe Jesus is the Holy One of God.

Believers will never perish.
Believers are recipients of eternal life, which is WHEN they believe and become believers.

What verse says in plain language that eternal life can be removed, revoked, etc.

If i understand you correctly, you believe those who stop believing have eternal life too. Sorry, but that theory isn’t found in scripture.
Both John 3:18 and 2 Thess 2:12 say that condemnation is for those who "have not believed".

If you don't understand that "have not believed" means "have NEVER believed", you are having a very difficult time comprehending very plain language.
