For, who can resist his will?" (Rom 9.19).<BR/><BR/>It is absolutely fascinating to me that none of the other disciples suspected that it would be him to betray Jesus. When Jesus said that one of them would betray him, the disciples didn't all look at Judas; each one of them asked, "Surely not me?"<BR/><BR/>I've posted on Judas <A HREF="http://reformedandbaptist.blogspot.com/2005/12/hardening-pharaoh-judas-and-peter.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>, because I think it's worth thinking about.<BR/><BR/>As with anything related to the gospel, the elect will not be fooled by the publication of this book, but no doubt it will be used for the distraction and destruction of many who refuse to believe.Julian Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16090211379574469969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11514345.post-1140212629002957722006-02-17T16:43:00.000-05:002006-02-17T16:43:00.000-05:00Let's not forget that Judas had his own following....Let's not forget that Judas had his own following. I can't cite chapter and verse, but he did want to sell the nard for his own corrupt purposes.<BR/><BR/>Also, let's not forget the Christ sent him off to do his deed with foreknowledge. Also, Christ deliberately trekked to Jerusalem to where prophets go to die. Being nailed to a tree was part of fulfilling the prophesy of Isaiah.<BR/><BR/>Evil doesn't really exist.

Insurrection means he was likely trying to be the Judas Maccabee of his day. So, it might not be too bad if they find it. <BR/><BR/>Then again, we've got an actual account of Judas guilt which makes him a better candidate. Perhaps what they are printing is his suicide note. ;O)pastorshaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727347872457368071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11514345.post-1140189453804261502006-02-17T10:17:00.000-05:002006-02-17T10:17:00.000-05:00Shaun, when I read that article, for some reason c...Shaun, when I read that article, for some reason cries of "Barrabas!
