New Article: Was it better for Judas had he not been born?

<< < (3/6) > >>

Extol:
Good stuff as always from Ray!

Yesterday my wife and I were talking about the beliefs of various denominations, and she commented on how the Bible is such a misunderstood book. I told her it was certainly no accident, that God meant it to be that way. She asked me why God hides the truth, so we talked about Matthew 13 and "eyes that see but do not see." I realized how amazing it is that God can keep hidden things that are so plain--things like "God will have all men be saved" (1 Tim. 2:4) and "God works all things after the counsel of his will" (Eph. 1:11). These truths are right there in front of us, yet most Christians can't see it--and most of us couldn't see it either for most of our lives.

This Judas passage is another example of that...One little misunderstood word--"him"--reinforces the idea of eternal hell for billions of people throughout the centuries, keeping them from the Truth. Just one more example of God working all things after the counsel of his will.  8)

Extol---What took me painfully long to learn was that God KNOWS the attitudes that people have toward what HE has revealed to them.  Though many things are OBVIOUS to us --the same thing is still hidden from their eyes..  They hold tenaciously to what they feel comfortable in knowing and "throwing a monkey wrench" into their mix of beliefs is very upsetting to them.  Therefore, when unsure, really dig the heels in and even use the heretic word as a last recourse! 
UNTIL God opens the eyes--no amount of reasoning or Bible verses will do any good.
It takes prayer and patience--the same kind that people used to "bring us along".

Mbongiseni:
Thanks Dennis and all
It's so amazing learning the truth bit by bit; such wisdom revealed cannot be measured in human terms. It takes a man like Ray to unveil such spiritual truths since he is filled with a measure of God's spirit. This particular article is an eye opener concerning the baylonian teachings of hell torment. I really thank God for drawing me nearer to the B-T.
God bless all
