Happy to hear this, Brother. Don't even think much anymore about what she did nor didn't do. You probably have sinned against her in her mind...We all need forgiveness so that we can live better.
The only one person i still can't forgive yet is the man in the mirror, which i still despise looking at everytime. Maybe one day i will have all the power to forgive myself.
@@hitsurei Looking in the mirror is a major step. Michael Jackson wrote a big hit on the topic. It was a hit for a big reason. Pray for others every day - your family, your neighbors, your nation, all leaders. You will feel forgiveness come.
I screwed up my marriage, my husband forgave me and still loved me but I walked away anyhow, did the same with the Lord Jesus...I came back to the Lord was forgiven and redeemed. I am sorry for all you have gone through. The Lord does heal our hearts! Peace!
If not Judas, it would have been someone else. Jesus knew it would be Judas. He knew his mission, his purpose, and he still loved Judas because he also knew he was fulfilling the hardest role of all, to betray him, and then took his own life in grief. It had to be. Judas did not know what Jesus knew.
@@stevieboudreau7048 Judas did not die for Jesus; rather, he died because he felt guilty about what he had done. Stephen was the first person to die for Jesus.
For me the sad thing about Judas was the despair he experienced after his betrayal 😔 He displayed the fact that he just didn't get the fact that Jesus/God loved him and no matter what would forgive him when he expressed his true sorrow for his actions. Judas was lacking in his trust of the forgiving nature of God. My hope is that at some point before his soul left his body God gave him one last chance to ask for forgiveness.
Imagine Judas on judgement day. The amount of fear and pain he felt honestly would make him wish he was never born. Not knowing what we know, he would have seen: - Betrayed an innocent man, his close friend, and had him tortured to death for money - Not only that, but this man was the son of the God he worships who had come to save humanity - in doing so he ruined gods plan to save humanity, dooming the souls of everyone who ever lived and will ever live to Satan and Sin - and when he faces God in the afterlife, he KNOWS god is capable of doing quite literally ANYTHING to his soul in his fury. The pure, unequivocal terror and sorrow he must have felt. It describes words. The poor man must have believed that god can never forgive him for what he did, and killed himself knowing that not even death can save him from Gods rage. The saddest thing is that the rage never actually came, Jesus and God had forgiven him before he betrayed Jesus, and by returning the gold to try to get Jesus back he had repented for a crime he believed was unforgivable, and ultimately was forgiven, wasn't he? Along with the Romans and Jews and the city of Jerusalem.
I am an old man who has trouble remembering names--even those who are my relatives. After I stumbled across this website I determined to come up with a mnemonic device to help me remember Brother Brandon's name: I am a new arrival to Texas, so I picture a cowboy chasing a flock of robins with a brandin' iron. As silly as that is, it works! I so appreciate your contribution to my understanding of the gospel of Christ. May His blessings continue to flow to you and through you, Cowboy!.
With all the years that I have taught Old and New Testament whether in 7th or 8th grades or with adult bible study, I have always felt that in the last micros-second of life Judas could have sought forgiveness of the Lord. That's my perspective as a priest and the message of forgiveness taught by Jesus [Lord's Prayer]. I'm now in my 80s and have had some of the finest Scripture teachers.
Might i ask, kind soul, why would you not consider becoming a teacher? We need guidance in our world from an elder that has survived incredible hardship in the past. Perhaps by writing, beginning with just a few sentences, you could become a great spiritual guide in the same light as those whom taught you. Thank you, and God bless all of your days.
I really feel that had he repented like Peter he would have been forgiven. Maybe it was his pride I know the guilt and shame that you feel when you fall back into sin. But the key is to run to Jesus not run away.
@@sandycummings4791 in Matthew 27:3it says, “3 ¶ Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,”. So he did repent but for some reason he still felt so guilty he hung him self.
All the while Jesus was pass around from one king to another...Judas did repent.. took the money back, evidently purchased the land so that people could be buried on... But Judas could not live with what he had done that’s why he hung himself... and then Jesus was hung on the cross for everyone’s San past future present… Guess what Judas is in heaven... thank upon that a while

He didn't do it for the money.. the money came with it. So either he knew he had to do it cause Jesus told him and he does he even says go now and do what you must. That's a command..
Brandon, I so appreciate the insights and clarity you share about Jesus, Biblical events, etc. It’s helping me deepen my faith and my walk with Jesus. Bless you!🙏✝️❤️
Dear Brother Brandon, I totally agree with Sister Cindi. You are protecting and strengthening the Flock. And you are reminding all of us that even when we sin and fail that CHRIST continues to love, care for, and forgive us --if we profess/confess our sins and truly repent. But, on the contrary, satan would rather that we sink deeper into our guilt and despair, and not have us get up, wipe off the dirt and continue our walk to the glory of our Master. Keep up the Good Work of your Ministry, my Brother!
Jesus loved Judas. Judas loved Jesus. The others disciples didn't fully understand what Jesus's life meant until much later, neither did Judas. Each took a different path leading up to their understanding. Knowing he hurt Jesus led him to take his own life. He returned the blood money, washed his hands of the betrayal in the presence of the High Priest and was devastated to the point he took his own life. I hope and pray that in those last moments he cried out to God and voiced his shame and regret. If he, in any way, asked for forgiveness, I believe that God would have forgiven him. Jesus looked down from the cross and forgave. I've always wondered if Judas was on his mind at that moment. How could he not have been? Asking for forgiveness and meaning it, and still being so desperate that one could take their life, is still a strong possibility in this life. In other words, he could have been forgiven by God and still so crushed that he couldn't keep on living. I hope I see him in Heaven.
i am very curios how Dallas Jenkins will show us his interpretation of Judas...since we have seen almost all disciples (Bartholomew is maybe identical to Nathanael, right?) with their personal conflicts and humanity, Judas must be a profound character...I know it sounds incredible, but "the Chosen" IS an INCREDIBLE series.... God bless you, Brandon. Greetings from Germany.
As weird as it sounds, I truly do feel terrible for Judas. He was a man who wanted to be righteous, but unfortunately, made a terrible, terrible, mistake. I do not know if it is wrong to pray for Judas's salvation, but I do try from time to time, because our God is a merciful God, he is not evil, wicked, or mean.
I am from Malaysia. Thank you so much for The Chosen and the extras that help me to understand further. These series of the Chosen are truly inspired by the Holy Spirit. Thank you Dallas. Please stay open to more inspirations from the Holy Spirit. Thank you.
@@driftwood5504 If you look at Job, it says that God did an inspection of His sons. And even though Satan had already been cast out of heaven, he felt a need to show up. There are other passages that point to angels being God's sons. New testament says Jesus is the only BEGOTTEN son. Meaning son of God born of a human woman. Why make that distinction? I'm not Mormon, but I came to the conclusion that it is possible, even though I didn't know others like the Mormons knew about it.
My pastor is doing a good job. I knew all of those things about Judas. I've forgiven everyone in my life except myself. I've never been able to manage that. Thank you so much for all your videos, I learn (usually!) a lot from them! God bless your ministry!
Saying Judas was an apostle is basically teaching that you can loose your Salvation. Saying judas was a saved is basically Saying you can loose your Salvation. Judas was not a true believer. Judas was called for a different purpose. He wasn't a believer. Judas was called to fulfill prophecy. Judas is known as the Son of perdition. Judas is known as unclean. Judas is known as a devil . Judas is a traitor, and was prophesied to be a traitor. Judas had a chance to believe, but he didn't believe. It is written. ◄ Psalm 41:9 the prophecy New International Version Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me. ◄ Matthew 26:23 ► the prophecy fulfilled New International Version Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. ◄ John 13:18 ► the prophecy fulfilled New International Version “I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned against me.’ ◄ John 13:10 ► New International Version Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, (though not every one of you.”) ◄ John 13:11 ► New International Version For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said (not every one was clean.) ◄ John 6:70 ► New International Version Then Jesus replied, (Have I not chosen you), the Twelve? YET ONE OF YOU IS A DEVIL!” ◄ Matthew 26:24 ► New International Version The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.( But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man!) It would be better for him if he had not been born.” Saying it would have been better if he had never been born , Is like saying he is not going to be in HEAVEN. Or how ever you want to put it. WHEN JUDAS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SHARING THE GOSPEL, CASTING OUT DEMONS, AND HEALING THE SICK. HE WAS GETTING HIS HUSTLE ON.↙️ 14Then one of the Twelve-the one called Judas Iscariot-went to the chief priests 15and asked, “WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE ME IF I DELIVER HIM OVER TO YOU?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. Yes, I agree that Judas was a disciple of Christ, but so we're many . English Standard Version john 6:64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) English Standard Version JOHN 6:65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” English Standard Version JOHN 6:66 After this many of (HIS DISCIPLES) turned back and no longer walked with him. MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES FELL AWAY. A true believer is saved for all eternity. TRUE BELIEVERS DO NOT TURN BACK. N I V, THE FATHER'S HAND. 1 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; NO ONE CAN SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY FATHER’S ’s HAND.

ACTS 16:29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? AND THEY SAID, BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, King James Bible For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: King James Bible Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The bible clearly talks about 2.(Continuing to believe) New Living Translation It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you-unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place. The bible clearly talks about 3.(Perseverance) New International Version You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. CONTINUING TO BELIEVE ENDURANCE, AND PERSEVERANCE. How BY OUR STREGNTH OR BY GOD'S STREGNTH . IF IT IS BY OUR STREGNTH IT IS A WORKS DOCTRINE. IF BY GOD'S STREGNTH IT IS BECAUSE HE IS THE SAVIOR. Yes the TRUE believer will do these THINGS BUT NOT TO STAY SAVED BUT BECAUSE HE IS SAVED THE TRUE BELIEVER IS SECURE IN WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE FOR HIM, THOMAS ALSO GETS SENT OUT TO DO THE WORKS, BUT AFTER THE RESURRECTION HE CLEARLY STATED THAT HE DIDN'T BELIEVE. THOMAS DOUBTED EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING, The only DIFFERENCE IS THOMAS CAME TO THE FAITH, HE BELIEVED. English Standard Version john 17:12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
@@reynaldoperez7285Why did you write all of this below my comment instead of making a comment of your own? None of that has anything to do with what I said.
Saved or not, if God has a purpose for someone, it will be done. Just ask Jonah. Judas had a vital part to play. Jesus had to die on that cross for all of us and Judas had to help get him there. Mankind's only hope for Salvation depended on it. After re-reading this, I clearly overstated the importance of Judus' role. The Crucifixion was going to happen with or without his involvement.
Jonas still made the decision to go back and preach, after God upset his world. God very seldom interferes in our choices, but he can twist our arms until we change our direction. Paul life changed on the road to Damascus, due to Jesus interfering in n his plans. Paul encounter with Jesus made him real, so his mindset was changed to choose to do God' will. God gave us all a free will to be like him, so he doesn't override it, but can make it very unpleasant do to wrong choices. Read Genesis 3&4 on how God served up consequences due to our choices.
Nah ....the crucifixion didn't depend on Judas .....Jesus would have still been crucified regardless ....Judas role was to show betrayal .....nothing more nothing less .
Finally! I always felt sorry for Judas. I would ask my my dad why people hate Judas, he did what he was suppose to do. I was in elementary school and could feel that it didn’t make sense. Thanks for proving my point. (makes ya wonder about the truth to the gospel of Judas in the Dead Sea Scroll, or Nag Hamadi findings.)
Judas wasn't the only bad one, unfortunately. Pontius Pilate, knew all the secrets and hated that a woman was leading the 12. Why? The bible has been rewritten.
@@rebeccamurphy6814 scripture does not say he is in hell. Everyone who has died has entered a sleep and shall be woken on judgment day. Whatever his fate is will be decided by God. I do think he probably will go to heaven, idk it’s scary to think about because we betray God everyday by sinning so we are not much different from Judas
Our Lord went to get Judas from Hell. He was the 1 sheep that represents most of us. The 99 sheeps are saved and the 1 sheep thats astray is special to Christ. This shows the compassion and level of power and Forgiveness and love our Lord has for us. Our God is so amazing he would rather suffer and die for his children. This is our Lord. This is his heart and spirit. Give your spirit and heart to Christ.. because he gave you all of his.. Glory to our Father Jesus Christ our God and Savior. Our Shepherd our Purpose. Isaiah 53 144 153 33
He preached to the spirits of the departed in the good side of Sheol. No where does it say Judas was the 1 sheep gone astray. Is it POSSIBLE? Sure. But you are stating this as fact. You don’t know if Jesus freed him from hell. Not everyone was. Some are still in the other side of Sheol until judgment day.
My own parent's had me detained by the cops to be put under suicide supervision in an attempt to stop using drugs. Yes, they lied to the cops. The cops gave my parents my backpack instead of taking it so I wouldn't be charged. They were understanding and said as long as I complied and had no needles in my pockets that may stab them during the body search. I was honest and said no. Even if they had been disrespectful, I truly didn't want anyone to poke themselves with an unknown drug user's needle on a simple call. I hurt so many people during my dark days. However, God knew that wasn't the case and, in Jesus' name, eventually cut the chain that had me locked to heroin. Heroin had locked on my body with a study and pkwerful grip. At 11pm, I called them and said, "I'm out. The police found nothing insinuating I was suicidal. I have forgiven them both for going to such lengths to get me detained; even if jt meant lying to the to police; and it will forever leave a sour taste in mouth. Christ forgave Judas. I don't have the ability the forget. The forgiveness and mercy of Christ is on a level I'll never comprehend. I should be dead; yet, here I am, almost 10 years clean.
Someday you will realize why your parents did this and I hope they're around to thank them when you do finally realize why they did it, it was definitely their hardest moment as well, because as a true parent when you see your kid going through hell, your right there with them, even tho the demons are telling the child otherwise, it sounds like your still on your journey to faith and I pray you find resolution but forgive your parents, that is one of the first steps, healing doesn't happen at once, it takes time so be patient, watch armor of God ; spiritual warfare and you will see how the devil affects everyone and thing we do
Another great video. Learn so much from your insight. So hard to fathom Judas's reasoning. But it is fact. Thanks for sharing. On to your next videos. Love learning
Someone said that Judas may have assumed Jesus would simply get away like he always did before. When he realized what he'd done he tried to give the money back, but it was too late 💔
@@grandmak9013 well, how do you know he didn't use his last breath to repent? Jesus Himself did say that Judas was lost of the 12, though, so it doesn't sound like he did.
“And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 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.” Matthew 26:23-24
Thank you so much for guiding us to understand things that we often take for granted. The insights of Peter and Judas have really touched my soul. Asante sana!
Judas is the most important follower of jesus. He had the courage to carry out jesus' command to him so that jesus could perform the ultimate miracle to most effectively bring back mans love and respect to God. Sadly, people see this as betrayal. But actually jesus wanted him to do so so the word could come true. He commited suicide because of the pain of the mission jesus told him to do was so intense. Judas loved jesus, out of the 12 he was the one chosen. Not his fault... not 1 of the 12 knew about judas' mission..
Jesus knew Judas would betray Him but did not command Judas to betray Himself. This was not a mission from God Judas had free will and it was not courage that Judas showed, but weakness and sinfulness. Unfortunately Judas gave into temptation and chose to betray Jesus. If Judas chose not to betray Jesus, Jesus would still have died for our sins, just through another means.
Very good message. Interesting discussion. I often wonder about these things. I think the add to my mortal understanding of the depth of the Lord’s love. I stand amazed. No matter where Judas is, the Lord has decided in his perfect judgement. No I or anyone else. That’s a comforting thought for a man like me who is in need of the forgiveness of the Lord.
@@Sebastian_Borsa7 I didn't betray Jesus, this was predicted Judas fulfilled the role ,he hung himself, he didn't ask for forgiveness , he gone to hell simple
Jesus also said it would have been better if Judas had not been born. And while Jesus still loved him and Judas regretted his actions, I believe that in the end Satan claimed his soul. Wouldn't it be surprising to find Judas got the ultimate forgiveness and found a place in heaven? Wouldn't that knock the socks off Satan!
This is something I find very confusing about the gospel. Jesus said as you did that it would have been better if Judas had not been born and called him the son of destruction…but without him the crucifixion wouldn’t have happened. So I get confused why Jesus would say that because He had to die for humanity so…yeah confused.
My Dad always thought that Judas believed that Jesus would simply obliterate His enemies. He was trying to force His hand. This makes more sense after everything Judas saw that he would betray Jesus. He should have known that Jesus has His own plan and timing and this was not His way. I've often wondered if this is part of the reason the Jewish faith doesn't recognize Jesus as the Messiah. They expected Him to arrive all fire and brimstone.
Consider that Jesus, the night he was betrayed, said: * you are my friends IF you do what I say. John 15:14 * you will remain in me and I in you, IF you continue obeying me. John 15:9-10 John 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
However, where does that put those in the military now? Forgive them for they know not what they do. Or are you denying Jesus to the rest of American people?
Jesus knew Judas since before Judas was born. Judas was the betrayer from the beginning. "Poor is the man who betrays the Son of Man, better for that man not have been born" , this does not sounds like friendship.
Was Jesus not rather the son of God worrying about those betraying the coming son of men? But whatever, it is surely a divine warning unto all betrayers, no promise of a friendly coexistence. 🍷🦍⏳⚡
I read the prophesy of Judas's betrayal a bit different. I read it as both a prophesy and a command. I think Jesus wanted to turn himself into the authorities, chose Judas, and was explaining how Judas should "betray" him. Betray might even be a translation error. I think the apostles though Jesus would only get a mild punishment, while Jesus already knew how events would play out.
Jesus knew that he would become the firstborn of the dead and was sick and tired of all the misunderandings about the Words of God, even among his closest disciples. As he complained to his heavenly father: How long do I have to stay among such a treacherous and hypocritical generation? God let not sacrifice Abraham his son Isaak for good, but God sacrificed his own son for better. 🍷💘
St Peter warned us about people who can't understand the scriptures and come with their own interpretations and twist them all for their own condemnation
Thank you for these insights. Really helpful. I listened to John MacArthur and he says after looking into Judas’ story he still can’t understand why he made the terrible choice he did. I feel the same way thank you too for the last point to forgive Judas.
yes, often vilified....acting without knowledge - "when he learned that Jesus had been sentenced to death, he was sorry for what he had done. He returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests " he had a path to forgiveness, but did not understand it
The ninth point is when Judas realizes what he did, his heart was full of reMorse, in so much the very 30 pieces of silver that he betrayed the master with ,he went back to the judgment hall and tossed it down,there was so much anguish in his soul that he couldn't live with himself anymore, could it be we will see Judas in heaven, remember God allowed Judas to be used so as to fulfill scripture which say ,they took the 30 peices of silver the price that was priced for him and cast it in the potter's feild,if lord jesus can forgive the thief on the cross who committed murder, don't you think he will forgive Judas who betrayed him,you have to feel what Judas felt when he realized what he did ,he repented, hoho we will have lots of surprises in heaven, don't you think, God bless,
I would like to think Judas went to heaven after he hung himself, but the Bible says it would be better for him had he not been born, having betrayed the Son of God, so it doesn't sound like he was actually "saved."
@@lorrmurrcoch That could be referring to the anguish Judas felt after he understood what he did and that he had to play the part he did. It really doesn't say one way or another what his afterlife situation is. Personally I do hope he made it because that means there’s hope for literally anyone willing to accept God's Grace.
Being remorseful is not the same as true repentance. Judus tried to make it right by throwing the coins at man.Judus should have went to Christ and ask for forgiveness and repented of his sin.
Something to note: since the last supper was a passover seder a tradition would be to dip matzah, lamb, and bitter herbs together. The statement Jesus makes referring to 'whoever dips with me' would have been a confusing statement since they all dipped with him. That is another reason why they all may have questioned themselves. The account does make it clear that Jesus does dip with Judah specifically. Also the culture at the time could have been to dip bread or matzah in many different items like middle eastern and/or Indian cultures do today.
Judas was the most intelligent of the disciples. He was a close friend and shared council with Jesus. We know this from Jesus in John 13 vs 18 when talking of Judas betrayal quotes Psalm 41 vs 9 where David is talking of Ahithophel's betrayal. Jesus always quotes for a purpose. Ahithophel's council to David was like one directly from God. Ahithophel was a close friend of King David where they walked through the market place together and shared ideas like peers. Thanks Brandon for great videos
Like most others Judas wanted Yeshua/Jesus to be the conquering Jewish king in their lifetime. Judas thought by "turning Him in" Jesus/Yeshua would, in the face of His arrest, rise up. And we see the horror and despair Judas experienced when he realized he had just betrayed his friend and wasn't the hero spurring on the conquering king. This is a lesson showing what happens when we do things our way and not God's way.
He was chosen by Jesus, Judas had a purpose in order for Jesus to fulfill our Heavenly Father plan. I believe we all have a bit of Judas in us, because it’s the presence of sin that illness that causes all of us to fall short of the kingdom of God. I believe that Judas was forgiven and is with our Heavenly Father today. He took his life out of remorse he was deeply in pain for betraying Jesus. Our god is merciful and he loves us.

@@tinkerinjones6604 it’s Mark 14:21 But every disciple betrayed Jesus Christ, because if they had truly believed that he was the son of God they wouldn’t have ran.

I know Judas betrayed Jesus but he felt remorse and we don’t know what he last moments were only Jesus.
@@tinkerinjones6604 correct, I truly understand that. I am just saying we don’t know Judas heart before he took his life. Nothing in the Bible says that. Ultimately we are judged by God for what is in our hear. Which should be love the lord your God with all your heart and soul. Love you neighbor. But thank you for your input I believe one should be able to discuss our biblical understanding without one getting upset. I pareciste your comments greatly
@@jeannettediaz6836 You are, in fact, contradicting the Bible. Jesus told Pilate that the one who betrayed him would receive the greater punishment. Judas killed himself, which is what happens when someone gives Satan complete control over them. You need to stop putting your words above the words of Christ.
Couple of things on Judas I’ve noticed. This was before Pentecost, he did not have the baptism of the Holy Ghost and was not sealed. He was deputized for missions and would be the same as Saul or Balaam when performing the aforementioned miracles signs and wonders. Sons of Sceva were also successful to a certain degree at performing deliverance work until they got in over there head. I think Judas got tired of the fight. It’s what is happening with many today. Can you imagine the oppression he felt being that close to Jesus everyday. The familiarity and level of comfort he had with the man everyone was worshiping. I think he took it for granted, and lost his edge. Then, the only difference between him and Peter was he refused to forgive himself. He exalted his betrayal above the forgiveness of Jesus, something none of us get to do. The scripture was fulfilled with the betrayal even down to the amount he sold him out for, correct me if I’m wrong however, no where was it written until post-mortem that he was dammed. 🤷♂️
The "good thief" was promised to be in paradise with Jesus on the very day of the crucifixion, a day that occurred before the Pentecost. How is that explained?
@@Perririri Good question. I was only referencing the “dunamis” power of the Holy Spirit. That was something only specific individuals like prophets, and Judges operated in when the power of the Holy Ghost would come upon them. Think of the Old Testament when Saul was told to go to such and such place, and wait for the Spirit of the Lord to start prophesying.👉“Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.” I Samuel 10:6 NKJV (He did not have this all of the time) This is something completely different than salvation which is what the thief on the cross received and Old Testament believers found in Abraham’s bosom also received. We will see many of the Old Testament believers (Jews) in heaven that were under the old covenant. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, only after the day of Pentecost, did a believer receive the seal of the Holy Spirit and only when they were specifically baptized in the Holy Spirit. There are several different types of baptisms and I would encourage you to seek it out on your walk with the Lord (“But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.” I Corinthians 12:31 NKJV). We are to covet the good gifts of God and earnestly seek them out. Going to heaven is not the full inheritance God has planned for you or any believer. That’s just the beginning. He wants us to continue to grow, and we’re going to for the rest of eternity, God willing! I hope this helps… God bless
@@Perririri Go read 1 Corinthians 12 If your church is not operating in those things, ask yourself why? Healthy Churches following God should be doing these things all the time. God bless
Regarding casting out demons, I must remind you of Matthew 7: 21-23 "“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’" In short, it's no big deal that Judas cast out demons.
The verses about Judas being evil and better off if he had never been born have always confused me. If Judas hadn’t betrayed Jesus, then Jesus wouldn’t have been crucified and resurrected. Someone had to set God’s plan in motion. I have thought that maybe God is the one who led Judas to betray Jesus to complete the plan, but then why is he called a devil and damned? I feel sorry for Judas at what was obviously an agonizing decision that left him desperate and full of guilt. One of many questions I’d like to ask God about……
God didn't Tempt Judas Iscariot, The Bible mentions that God is neither tempted nor tempts others, so what I think happened is that Judas Iscariot was doing it out of evil and out of temptation by the satan, but God alowed these things to happen and even Prophecied about it in The Old Testament because God knew that He could use someones (Judas Iscariots) evil deed, and God could use it to put in a butterfly effect from that that leads to The Crucifixion and Resurrection.
Love the message in the end. I forgive my wife's betrayal, I forgive my father and I forgive myself. Prince of peace prevail in our lives.
Happy to hear this, Brother. Don't even think much anymore about what she did nor didn't do. You probably have sinned against her in her mind...We all need forgiveness so that we can live better.
The only one person i still can't forgive yet is the man in the mirror, which i still despise looking at everytime. Maybe one day i will have all the power to forgive myself.
Walk alone G I’m doing it rn jus obi wan this world
@@hitsurei Looking in the mirror is a major step. Michael Jackson wrote a big hit on the topic. It was a hit for a big reason. Pray for others every day - your family, your neighbors, your nation, all leaders. You will feel forgiveness come.
I screwed up my marriage, my husband forgave me and still loved me but I walked away anyhow, did the same with the Lord Jesus...I came back to the Lord was forgiven and redeemed. I am sorry for all you have gone through. The Lord does heal our hearts! Peace!
If not Judas, it would have been someone else. Jesus knew it would be Judas. He knew his mission, his purpose, and he still loved Judas because he also knew he was fulfilling the hardest role of all, to betray him, and then took his own life in grief. It had to be. Judas did not know what Jesus knew.
Judas was the first to die for Jesus, even if he did betray him, he was the first to know the truth, for certain.
@@stevieboudreau7048 Judas did not die for Jesus; rather, he died because he felt guilty about what he had done. Stephen was the first person to die for Jesus.
God point I'm definitely wrong there.
Good point sorry not God point.
Fair point
For me the sad thing about Judas was the despair he experienced after his betrayal 😔 He displayed the fact that he just didn't get the fact that Jesus/God loved him and no matter what would forgive him when he expressed his true sorrow for his actions. Judas was lacking in his trust of the forgiving nature of God. My hope is that at some point before his soul left his body God gave him one last chance to ask for forgiveness.
Imagine Judas on judgement day. The amount of fear and pain he felt honestly would make him wish he was never born. Not knowing what we know, he would have seen:
- Betrayed an innocent man, his close friend, and had him tortured to death for money
- Not only that, but this man was the son of the God he worships who had come to save humanity
- in doing so he ruined gods plan to save humanity, dooming the souls of everyone who ever lived and will ever live to Satan and Sin
- and when he faces God in the afterlife, he KNOWS god is capable of doing quite literally ANYTHING to his soul in his fury.
The pure, unequivocal terror and sorrow he must have felt. It describes words. The poor man must have believed that god can never forgive him for what he did, and killed himself knowing that not even death can save him from Gods rage.
The saddest thing is that the rage never actually came, Jesus and God had forgiven him before he betrayed Jesus, and by returning the gold to try to get Jesus back he had repented for a crime he believed was unforgivable, and ultimately was forgiven, wasn't he? Along with the Romans and Jews and the city of Jerusalem.
Judas, still walks the earth.
Unfortunately, scripture tells us that Judas is in hell.

I am an old man who has trouble remembering names--even those who are my relatives. After I stumbled across this website I determined to come up with a mnemonic device to help me remember Brother Brandon's name: I am a new arrival to Texas, so I picture a cowboy chasing a flock of robins with a brandin' iron. As silly as that is, it works! I so appreciate your contribution to my understanding of the gospel of Christ. May His blessings continue to flow to you and through you, Cowboy!.
Jesus I need you to love me and forgive me because I’ve fallen short so much.
We are like Judas in so many ways if we are honest about this.
I thinks this is the most overlooked point. We betray Christ in our lives constantly yet his love never waivers.
So true!
I literally said that to my friend the other day
No, we are like Peter.
Without no doubt we're all Judas in a different ways 😢
With all the years that I have taught Old and New Testament whether in 7th or 8th grades or with adult bible study, I have always felt that in the last micros-second of life Judas could have sought forgiveness of the Lord. That's my perspective as a priest and the message of forgiveness taught by Jesus [Lord's Prayer]. I'm now in my 80s and have had some of the finest Scripture teachers.
Might i ask, kind soul, why would you not consider becoming a teacher? We need guidance in our world from an elder that has survived incredible hardship in the past. Perhaps by writing, beginning with just a few sentences, you could become a great spiritual guide in the same light as those whom taught you. Thank you, and God bless all of your days.
Judas was an instrument and simply fulfilled his role. Our Lord knew all along his fate. He accepted it none the less.
Just like Adam and Eve, their purposes to fall that man might be.
I really feel that had he repented like Peter he would have been forgiven. Maybe it was his pride I know the guilt and shame that you feel when you fall back into sin. But the key is to run to Jesus not run away.
@@sandycummings4791 in Matthew 27:3it says, “3 ¶ Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,”. So he did repent but for some reason he still felt so guilty he hung him self.
All the while Jesus was pass around from one king to another...Judas did repent.. took the money back, evidently purchased the land so that people could be buried on...
But Judas could not live with what he had done that’s why he hung himself... and then Jesus was hung on the cross for everyone’s San past future present… Guess what Judas is in heaven... thank upon that a while

@@AwakenWorld999 how?
It is forgiveness and unconditional love that separates Jesus from all others. This should be an inspiration to all including non-believers.
Someone had to betray Jesus...Judas goes to the temple and throws the coins and says he has betrayed an innocent man, Jesus still loved Judas, as you said...I am ashamed of my past sins and transgressions but so very grateful that Jesus has forgiven me and cleansed my soul! Thank you for your lessons!
Had Judas been forgiven he would not have taken his own life.

He didn't do it for the money.. the money came with it. So either he knew he had to do it cause Jesus told him and he does he even says go now and do what you must. That's a command..
Brandon, I so appreciate the insights and clarity you share about Jesus, Biblical events, etc. It’s helping me deepen my faith and my walk with Jesus. Bless you!🙏✝️❤️
That really makes me so happy to hear!
Dear Brother Brandon, I totally agree with Sister Cindi. You are protecting and strengthening the Flock. And you are reminding all of us that even when we sin and fail that CHRIST continues to love, care for, and forgive us --if we profess/confess our sins and truly repent.
But, on the contrary, satan would rather that we sink deeper into our guilt and despair, and not have us get up, wipe off the dirt and continue our walk to the glory of our Master. Keep up the Good Work of your Ministry, my Brother!
@@hisstoryteller758 Thank you!
JESUS AND JUDAS BETRAYED MARY! Sorry to have to relay this. Jesus saved his own tail, and ran.
@@AwakenWorld999 what in the world are you thinking???
Jesus loved Judas. Judas loved Jesus. The others disciples didn't fully understand what Jesus's life meant until much later, neither did Judas. Each took a different path leading up to their understanding. Knowing he hurt Jesus led him to take his own life. He returned the blood money, washed his hands of the betrayal in the presence of the High Priest and was devastated to the point he took his own life. I hope and pray that in those last moments he cried out to God and voiced his shame and regret. If he, in any way, asked for forgiveness, I believe that God would have forgiven him. Jesus looked down from the cross and forgave. I've always wondered if Judas was on his mind at that moment. How could he not have been? Asking for forgiveness and meaning it, and still being so desperate that one could take their life, is still a strong possibility in this life. In other words, he could have been forgiven by God and still so crushed that he couldn't keep on living. I hope I see him in Heaven.
I do appreciate these background stories!!
I'm glad they're helpful!
is it true that Mormons believe Jesus is the younger brother of Lucifer?
i am very curios how Dallas Jenkins will show us his interpretation of Judas...since we have seen almost all disciples (Bartholomew is maybe identical to Nathanael, right?) with their personal conflicts and humanity, Judas must be a profound character...I know it sounds incredible, but "the Chosen" IS an INCREDIBLE series....
God bless you, Brandon.
Greetings from Germany.
I'm really interested to see how he portrays him, too!
Well, I guess you know by now. They have a great actor for the part. I predict lots of tears when we get to the Last Supper and the following events.
As weird as it sounds, I truly do feel terrible for Judas. He was a man who wanted to be righteous, but unfortunately, made a terrible, terrible, mistake. I do not know if it is wrong to pray for Judas's salvation, but I do try from time to time, because our God is a merciful God, he is not evil, wicked, or mean.
I find myself coming back to your channel more and more. I love how you help me understand the scripture better. Thanks so much. 👍🏼👍🏼🥰🦋

Thank you! Your teaching is always thought provoking & a great blessing.
I feel like Judas is a reflection of a family member or a loved one who continually sins but at the same time we understand and still love them.
It's like ....they are s train wreck but, he's OUR trainwreck.

@@driftwood5504 If you look at Job, it says that God did an inspection of His sons. And even though Satan had already been cast out of heaven, he felt a need to show up.

Does it Bible written in the Gospel of Judas?
Saying Judas was an apostle is basically teaching that you can loose your Salvation.
Saying judas was a saved is basically Saying you can loose your Salvation.
Judas was not a true believer.
Judas was called for a different purpose.
He wasn't a believer.
Judas was called to fulfill prophecy.
Judas is known as the Son of perdition.
Judas is known as unclean.
Judas is known as a devil .
Judas is a traitor, and was prophesied to be a traitor.
Judas had a chance to believe, but he didn't believe.
It is written.

Is like saying he is not going to be in HEAVEN. Or how ever you want to put it.
WHEN JUDAS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SHARING THE GOSPEL, CASTING OUT
DEMONS, AND HEALING THE SICK.
HE WAS GETTING HIS HUSTLE ON.↙️
14Then one of the Twelve-the one called Judas Iscariot-went to the chief priests 15and asked,
“WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE ME IF I DELIVER HIM OVER TO YOU?”
So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
Yes, I agree that Judas was a disciple of
Christ, but so we're many .

But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)

Thank you Brandon,for the insight..at times we too behave wrongly we have a little of Judas in us....the Lord change our hearts of stone to love❤
Saved or not, if God has a purpose for someone, it will be done. Just ask Jonah. Judas had a vital part to play. Jesus had to die on that cross for all of us and Judas had to help get him there. Mankind's only hope for Salvation depended on it.
After re-reading this, I clearly overstated the importance of Judus' role. The Crucifixion was going to happen with or without his involvement.
Jonas still made the decision to go back and preach, after God upset his world. God very seldom interferes in our choices, but he can twist our arms until we change our direction. Paul life changed on the road to Damascus, due to Jesus interfering in n his plans. Paul encounter with Jesus made him real, so his mindset was changed to choose to do God' will. God gave us all a free will to be like him, so he doesn't override it, but can make it very unpleasant do to wrong choices. Read Genesis 3&4 on how God served up consequences due to our choices.
Nah ....the crucifixion didn't depend on Judas .....Jesus would have still been crucified regardless ....Judas role was to show betrayal .....nothing more nothing less .
Offences come but woe unto him by who the offence cometh.
Judas fulfilled scriptures in his actions. More to the point.
Everything unfolded in accordance with the spirit of prophecy.

Thanks for proving my point. (makes ya wonder about the truth to the gospel of Judas in the Dead Sea Scroll, or Nag Hamadi findings.)
Judas wasn't the only bad one, unfortunately. Pontius Pilate, knew all the secrets and hated that a woman was leading the 12. Why? The bible has been rewritten.
I don’t understand about Judas. He was remorseful for what he did, yet scripture says Judas is not in heaven?

Thank you for a vital info 💕
Our Lord went to get Judas from Hell. He was the 1 sheep that represents most of us. The 99 sheeps are saved and the 1 sheep thats astray is special to Christ. This shows the compassion and level of power and Forgiveness and love our Lord has for us. Our God is so amazing he would rather suffer and die for his children. This is our Lord. This is his heart and spirit. Give your spirit and heart to Christ.. because he gave you all of his.. Glory to our Father Jesus Christ our God and Savior. Our Shepherd our Purpose.

He preached to the spirits of the departed in the good side of Sheol. No where does it say Judas was the 1 sheep gone astray. Is it POSSIBLE? Sure. But you are stating this as fact. You don’t know if Jesus freed him from hell. Not everyone was. Some are still in the other side of Sheol until judgment day.

is it true that Mormons believe Jesus is the younger brother of Lucifer?
My own parent's had me detained by the cops to be put under suicide supervision in an attempt to stop using drugs. Yes, they lied to the cops. The cops gave my parents my backpack instead of taking it so I wouldn't be charged. They were understanding and said as long as I complied and had no needles in my pockets that may stab them during the body search. I was honest and said no. Even if they had been disrespectful, I truly didn't want anyone to poke themselves with an unknown drug user's needle on a simple call. I hurt so many people during my dark days.
However, God knew that wasn't the case and, in Jesus' name, eventually cut the chain that had me locked to heroin. Heroin had locked on my body with a study and pkwerful grip. At 11pm, I called them and said, "I'm out.
The police found nothing insinuating I was suicidal. I have forgiven them both for going to such lengths to get me detained; even if jt meant lying to the to police; and it will forever leave a sour taste in mouth.
Christ forgave Judas.
I don't have the ability the forget. The forgiveness and mercy of Christ is on a level I'll never comprehend.
I should be dead; yet, here I am, almost 10 years clean.
Someday you will realize why your parents did this and I hope they're around to thank them when you do finally realize why they did it, it was definitely their hardest moment as well, because as a true parent when you see your kid going through hell, your right there with them, even tho the demons are telling the child otherwise, it sounds like your still on your journey to faith and I pray you find resolution but forgive your parents, that is one of the first steps, healing doesn't happen at once, it takes time so be patient, watch armor of God ; spiritual warfare and you will see how the devil affects everyone and thing we do

is it true that Mormons believe Jesus is the younger brother of Lucifer?
Judas is the most important follower of jesus. He had the courage to carry out jesus' command to him so that jesus could perform the ultimate miracle to most effectively bring back mans love and respect to God. Sadly, people see this as betrayal. But actually jesus wanted him to do so so the word could come true. He commited suicide because of the pain of the mission jesus told him to do was so intense. Judas loved jesus, out of the 12 he was the one chosen. Not his fault... not 1 of the 12 knew about judas' mission..
Jesus knew Judas would betray Him but did not command Judas to betray Himself. This was not a mission from God Judas had free will and it was not courage that Judas showed, but weakness and sinfulness. Unfortunately Judas gave into temptation and chose to betray Jesus. If Judas chose not to betray Jesus, Jesus would still have died for our sins, just through another means.
WOW.... my gosh preach!
Thanks!
Rather, so that Jesus’s Ministry could be fulfilled, be completed
Very good message. Interesting discussion. I often wonder about these things. I think the add to my mortal understanding of the depth of the Lord’s love. I stand amazed. No matter where Judas is, the Lord has decided in his perfect judgement. No I or anyone else. That’s a comforting thought for a man like me who is in need of the forgiveness of the Lord.
Why does everybody assume that Judas went to hell. No one knows except God.
He's gone to hell
@@newzebulon5313how many times you betrayed God and yet you put your faith in his hands
@@Sebastian_Borsa7 I didn't betray Jesus, this was predicted Judas fulfilled the role ,he hung himself, he didn't ask for forgiveness , he gone to hell simple
We needed to hear those things, very important truths! Thank you!
Jesus also said it would have been better if Judas had not been born. And while Jesus still loved him and Judas regretted his actions, I believe that in the end Satan claimed his soul. Wouldn't it be surprising to find Judas got the ultimate forgiveness and found a place in heaven? Wouldn't that knock the socks off Satan!
This is something I find very confusing about the gospel. Jesus said as you did that it would have been better if Judas had not been born and called him the son of destruction…but without him the crucifixion wouldn’t have happened. So I get confused why Jesus would say that because He had to die for humanity so…yeah confused.
This is BRILLIANT!
I didnt know these things about Judas. How sad for Jesus to know what was gonna happen. I cant imagine. But im very thankful
Amen .....i am in srilanka and in this good friday my speach about judas ...so this one its very helpful to me in jesus name ....thank you brother ❤️🙏
My Dad always thought that Judas believed that Jesus would simply obliterate His enemies. He was trying to force His hand. This makes more sense after everything Judas saw that he would betray Jesus. He should have known that Jesus has His own plan and timing and this was not His way. I've often wondered if this is part of the reason the Jewish faith doesn't recognize Jesus as the Messiah. They expected Him to arrive all fire and brimstone.
Consider that Jesus, the night he was betrayed, said:
* you are my friends IF you do what I say. John 15:14
* you will remain in me and I in you, IF you continue obeying me. John 15:9-10
John 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
However, where does that put those in the military now? Forgive them for they know not what they do. Or are you denying Jesus to the rest of American people?
Jesus knew Judas since before Judas was born. Judas was the betrayer from the beginning. "Poor is the man who betrays the Son of Man, better for that man not have been born" , this does not sounds like friendship.
Was Jesus not rather the son of God worrying about those betraying the coming son of men? But whatever, it is surely a divine warning unto all betrayers, no promise of a friendly coexistence. 🍷🦍⏳⚡
I read the prophesy of Judas's betrayal a bit different. I read it as both a prophesy and a command. I think Jesus wanted to turn himself into the authorities, chose Judas, and was explaining how Judas should "betray" him. Betray might even be a translation error. I think the apostles though Jesus would only get a mild punishment, while Jesus already knew how events would play out.
Jesus knew that he would become the firstborn of the dead and was sick and tired of all the misunderandings about the Words of God, even among his closest disciples. As he complained to his heavenly father: How long do I have to stay among such a treacherous and hypocritical generation?
God let not sacrifice Abraham his son Isaak for good, but God sacrificed his own son for better. 🍷💘
Only God, our Father in Heaven , has the right to judge .
St Peter warned us about people who can't understand the scriptures and come with their own interpretations and twist them all for their own condemnation
Merci! Que le God /Dominus te bénisse ! ❤❤
Excellent. I really enjoy your videos. You give insight that makes the people and scriptures come alive!!! Thank you, God bless!!!😇👍
Interesting topic, Judas Iscariot. Thanks for sharing!.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for these insights. Really helpful. I listened to John MacArthur and he says after looking into Judas’ story he still can’t understand why he made the terrible choice he did. I feel the same way thank you too for the last point to forgive Judas.
yes, often vilified....acting without knowledge - "when he learned that Jesus had been sentenced to death, he was sorry for what he had done. He returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests "
he had a path to forgiveness, but did not understand it
The ninth point is when Judas realizes what he did, his heart was full of reMorse, in so much the very 30 pieces of silver that he betrayed the master with ,he went back to the judgment hall and tossed it down,there was so much anguish in his soul that he couldn't live with himself anymore, could it be we will see Judas in heaven, remember God allowed Judas to be used so as to fulfill scripture which say ,they took the 30 peices of silver the price that was priced for him and cast it in the potter's feild,if lord jesus can forgive the thief on the cross who committed murder, don't you think he will forgive Judas who betrayed him,you have to feel what Judas felt when he realized what he did ,he repented, hoho we will have lots of surprises in heaven, don't you think, God bless,
I would like to think Judas went to heaven after he hung himself, but the Bible says it would be better for him had he not been born, having betrayed the Son of God, so it doesn't sound like he was actually "saved."
@@lorrmurrcoch
That could be referring to the anguish Judas felt after he understood what he did and that he had to play the part he did.
It really doesn't say one way or another what his afterlife situation is. Personally I do hope he made it because that means there’s hope for literally anyone willing to accept God's Grace.
Being remorseful is not the same as true repentance. Judus tried to make it right by throwing the coins at man.Judus should have went to Christ and ask for forgiveness and repented of his sin.
It occurred to me too few yrs ago even though I didn’t like Judas, how else was Jesus going to be my sacrifice @ Calvary??✔️
Judas was needed to aid in getting Jesus sent to the cross. Judas wil be in God's heaven.
he is.
Thank you. Betrayal is horrible thing.
God bless you
My name means Gatherer of Joy. I'm so grateful my parents lived me enough to give me a name with meaning.
Something to note: since the last supper was a passover seder a tradition would be to dip matzah, lamb, and bitter herbs together. The statement Jesus makes referring to 'whoever dips with me' would have been a confusing statement since they all dipped with him. That is another reason why they all may have questioned themselves. The account does make it clear that Jesus does dip with Judah specifically. Also the culture at the time could have been to dip bread or matzah in many different items like middle eastern and/or Indian cultures do today.
Nice video. Plz make a video about Natheniel.
I've got more disciple videos planned for the future. I'd love to cover him!
Judas was the most intelligent of the disciples. He was a close friend and shared council with Jesus. We know this from Jesus in John 13 vs 18 when talking of Judas betrayal quotes Psalm 41 vs 9 where David is talking of Ahithophel's betrayal. Jesus always quotes for a purpose. Ahithophel's council to David was like one directly from God. Ahithophel was a close friend of King David where they walked through the market place together and shared ideas like peers.
Thanks Brandon for great videos
Praise God: Not Money Judah’s failed his mission but fulfilled God’s Plan: Glory to God
Like most others Judas wanted Yeshua/Jesus to be the conquering Jewish king in their lifetime. Judas thought by "turning Him in" Jesus/Yeshua would, in the face of His arrest, rise up. And we see the horror and despair Judas experienced when he realized he had just betrayed his friend and wasn't the hero spurring on the conquering king. This is a lesson showing what happens when we do things our way and not God's way.
They wanted Jesus to, and thought He would, establish His kingdom in this world, but He clearly said "My kingdom is not of this world".
God bless
Perfect
He was chosen by Jesus, Judas had a purpose in order for Jesus to fulfill our Heavenly Father plan. I believe we all have a bit of Judas in us, because it’s the presence of sin that illness that causes all of us to fall short of the kingdom of God. I believe that Judas was forgiven and is with our Heavenly Father today. He took his life out of remorse he was deeply in pain for betraying Jesus. Our god is merciful and he loves us.
"The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born." - Jesus Christ (Mark 14.16)
@@tinkerinjones6604 it’s Mark 14:21
But every disciple betrayed Jesus Christ, because if they had truly believed that he was the son of God they wouldn’t have ran. It wasn’t until Jesus rose and appeared to them that they truly believed Jesus was the Son of God and then they were willing to die for him and do Gods work.
I know Judas betrayed Jesus but he felt remorse and we don’t know what he last moments were only Jesus.
@@jeannettediaz6836 But Jesus accepted that fear and still loved them. Then they all died horrifically for their love of Jesus.
@@tinkerinjones6604 correct, I truly understand that. I am just saying we don’t know Judas heart before he took his life. Nothing in the Bible says that. Ultimately we are judged by God for what is in our hear. Which should be love the lord your God with all your heart and soul. Love you neighbor. But thank you for your input I believe one should be able to discuss our biblical understanding without one getting upset. I pareciste your comments greatly
@@jeannettediaz6836
You are, in fact, contradicting the Bible. Jesus told Pilate that the one who betrayed him would receive the greater punishment. Judas killed himself, which is what happens when someone gives Satan complete control over them. You need to stop putting your words above the words of Christ.
Couple of things on Judas I’ve noticed. This was before Pentecost, he did not have the baptism of the Holy Ghost and was not sealed. He was deputized for missions and would be the same as Saul or Balaam when performing the aforementioned miracles signs and wonders. Sons of Sceva were also successful to a certain degree at performing deliverance work until they got in over there head. I think Judas got tired of the fight. It’s what is happening with many today. Can you imagine the oppression he felt being that close to Jesus everyday. The familiarity and level of comfort he had with the man everyone was worshiping. I think he took it for granted, and lost his edge. Then, the only difference between him and Peter was he refused to forgive himself. He exalted his betrayal above the forgiveness of Jesus, something none of us get to do. The scripture was fulfilled with the betrayal even down to the amount he sold him out for, correct me if I’m wrong however, no where was it written until post-mortem that he was dammed. 🤷♂️
The "good thief" was promised to be in paradise with Jesus on the very day of the crucifixion, a day that occurred before the Pentecost. How is that explained?
@@Perririri Good question. I was only referencing the “dunamis” power of the Holy Spirit. That was something only specific individuals like prophets, and Judges operated in when the power of the Holy Ghost would come upon them. Think of the Old Testament when Saul was told to go to such and such place, and wait for the Spirit of the Lord to start prophesying.👉“Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.”
I Samuel 10:6 NKJV (He did not have this all of the time)
This is something completely different than salvation which is what the thief on the cross received and Old Testament believers found in Abraham’s bosom also received. We will see many of the Old Testament believers (Jews) in heaven that were under the old covenant. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, only after the day of Pentecost, did a believer receive the seal of the Holy Spirit and only when they were specifically baptized in the Holy Spirit. There are several different types of baptisms and I would encourage you to seek it out on your walk with the Lord (“But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.”
I Corinthians 12:31 NKJV). We are to covet the good gifts of God and earnestly seek them out. Going to heaven is not the full inheritance God has planned for you or any believer. That’s just the beginning. He wants us to continue to grow, and we’re going to for the rest of eternity, God willing! I hope this helps… God bless
@@Perririri Go read 1 Corinthians 12
If your church is not operating in those things, ask yourself why? Healthy Churches following God should be doing these things all the time. God bless
@@Churchofthelostsheep thank you
@@Perririri You bet! This is the fun stuff👍
Enjoy your videos.
Regarding casting out demons, I must remind you of Matthew 7: 21-23 "“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’"
In short, it's no big deal that Judas cast out demons.
The verses about Judas being evil and better off if he had never been born have always confused me. If Judas hadn’t betrayed Jesus, then Jesus wouldn’t have been crucified and resurrected. Someone had to set God’s plan in motion. I have thought that maybe God is the one who led Judas to betray Jesus to complete the plan, but then why is he called a devil and damned? I feel sorry for Judas at what was obviously an agonizing decision that left him desperate and full of guilt. One of many questions I’d like to ask God about……
God didn't Tempt Judas Iscariot, The Bible mentions that God is neither tempted nor tempts others, so what I think happened is that Judas Iscariot was doing it out of evil and out of temptation by the satan, but God alowed these things to happen and even Prophecied about it in The Old Testament because God knew that He could use someones (Judas Iscariots) evil deed, and God could use it to put in a butterfly effect from that that leads to The Crucifixion and Resurrection.
