Jesus Chose Judas

If you took away "left and right" and just say people did these I would agree. I don't think claiming left or right makes one just or unjust only Jesus makes us righteous!

The term Jesus is used for Satan these days so it means nothing. False teachings abound and they must all be accepted equally with the truth.

You claim that a person who supports abortion accepts Jesus as Lord. You accept the Satanic Jesus.

You must have a conversation going on between your ears only you are aware of, because you say things out of blue. Who said false teaching must be accepted? What term did Jesus use to describe Satan these days? You know if you limit accusing people to those things that they actually say, instead of using your imagination, you may find what you think they mean isn't always what they meant.

Our society says we must accept false teachings as being of christ.

I do not mean individually but when talking with others.

As I pointed out, your Jesus isn't Jesus at all, just another name for Satan.

Yea, right! That is between you and God.

Oh definitely. This is true for everyone if they know God or not.

Well I agree, ultimately it only matters what happens between each of us and God. Our agreements and disagreements will pale by comparison.

It would be a shame being tne cause of someone heading for hell by convincing them to follow a false religion, but it is common enough.

Mark 3

[b]Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. 14 He appointed twelve[a] that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons. 16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), 17 James son of Zebedee and his brothe ...[text shortened]... Jesus put Judas there so Judas would betray him. I think most of us would call this entrapment.

How is knowing that Jesus chose Judas though Judas betrayed Him, profitable to the spiritual growth the Christian life ?

Yes I do the same thing when I lose my car keys, I stop looking for them when I find them.

So you would be happy with any car keys? I wouldn't.

And knowing this has been a blessing to your spiritual growth in what way ?

God is in control. Everything for the glory of God bringing about his will.

Are you saying that when you doubt that God is in control, the thought of Jesus choosing Judas, reduces anxiety for you ? Is that how it has been a blessing to contemplate Jesus choosing Judas ?

Are you saying that you have less peace in your heart not knowing Jesus chose Judas, but inward peace is increased when you know that Jesus chose the betrayer Judas ?

Not at all, it is just one more example of God's control of his world. All for the glory of God, including those who rebel against God's truth.

No, and as I said, I stop looking for what I have found. You want to suggest that God is not
the grand truth of the universe? There might be many claims for what is truth, but I know
of only one that matters and that is God, there is only One, and besides Him is no other.
There isn't any in the past besides Him, or above Him, there isn't any besides or above
Him now, neither will there be at any time going forward throughout all time.

What is greater than the One who made everything by the power of His Word, who holds
it all together by the power of His Word. One who the very universe cannot contain, who
is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, where time and space cannot
contain Him, who speaks things into reality by the power of His Word. Who is Love, that
cares for us even though we are a fallen race of people who want to define what is good
and evil for ourselves instead of listening to the One who made it all, who maintains it
all, who never lies.
