I thank God that He did not choose me for Judas's role! But I do recognize the importance of that role, as it was a big part in the process of man's redemption by the shed blood of Jesus, as you stated, Dawidos.

Thank God that we know it was God's will all along, that Judas was an important part of His plan and that Jesus knew his father meant all evil (including Judas betrayal) unto good - I love how LRS explained that by Joseph's story :) :)

Hi David,
Nice summary and a good reminder of these marvelous truths. :)

Hi David, read something once a long time ago and thought you might find it interesting. True, the Catholic Church teaches separation from God in the afterlife due to a person's willfulness but they also leave room for God's doing.
Number 1058 in the new Catholic Catechism it states,
"The church prays that no one should be lost: "Lord, let me never be parted from you." If it is true that no one can save himself, it is also true that God "desires all men to be saved" (1 Tim 2:4) and that for Him "all things are possible" (mt 19:26)"
Wasn't that nice of them??? judy
Dawidos:
Thank you all for responses. This contradiction just came up to my mind one day. I'd like to confess that there is no single day I don't think about God. I've become addicted to thinking over spiritual matters. Because of that I'm sometimes able to deduce something wise, even in my dumb head :D :D.
Judy, from my point of view, the catholic church (in Poland) doesn't speak often about Hell. They are talking more about the positives sides of Christianity. I remember that even John Paul II has written in one of his encyclicals that you can't deny God's ability to save all people, because with God and his mercy everything is possible.
