A sinner who does not know the will of God will end up in hell. Also, anybody who knew the will of God and did it not will also end up in hell, but will receive more stripes (beatings) than the one who did not know.

Judas is going to get a much sorer punishment in hell than a lot of other people for betraying Christ.

This made me think of another verse where Jesus was talking about it being better if Judas had not been born. That's a pretty sobering thought when you remember this was said by Jesus himself.

Mat 26:24

The Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born.

He was speaking of Judas. Judas sat under Jesus' teaching and heard directly what Jesus had to say. He still chose to betray him. Judas's sin was wilfull and with full knowledge. Pilate on the other hand was acting based on what others said, and without a background in the religion of the Hebrews. He was more ignorant of the facts about Jesus than Judas.

The only confusing thing about Judas & his fate is- wasn't he assisting in God's plan of Christ being taken to the cross & eventually raised for our sins?

The teaching that all sins are equal is not Biblical. It is true that any sin is too much sin to be in the kingdom of heaven and only because of Jesus Christ do any of us even have the possibility to be included in the kingdom of God. But not all sins are equal. Some sins separate us from God.

God Bless,

K.D.

All sin separates us from God. God is Holy and as such He cannot associate or approve of any sin. Sins are all the same in the sense that they separate us from God and need forgiveness. They differ in their consequences in the lives of both the individual who commited them and the victims. For example, one lie would doom a person eternally just as a murder would. Christ's blood paid for them both.

James said this:

For whoever keeps the entire law, yet fails in one point, is guilty of breaking it all.

James 2:10 HCSB

However, the consequences of the sins could be very different. If I lie about eating a cookie before dinner (that was a common one for me) the temporal consequences I suffer (and my mom suffered as a result of my lie) would be less than if I had killed her or someone she loved.

I agree Christ Blood is the only reason we can be forgiven for any sin. I think I tried to say that :emot-puke:

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
