    PERFECT LOVE

    I agree - And perhaps it was too late for Judas... In fact, it turned out too late... Yet it was not true repentance, which is turning from sin toward God... And this he did not do... He fled from God by suicide... But his "repentance" came, as your Scripture relates in Jeremiah, from the...

    My Church is pre-denominational... Calvinism is a denomination... Lutheranism is a denomination... Pentecostal is a denomination... Before denominationalism, it is simply Christ's Body in Antioch, or Rome, or Thessalonica, or Corinth... Mine is simply the Christ's Church at Antioch... It...

    vss 19 & 20 translate two differing words as teach and teaching... The first is the verb: DISCIPLE all the nations... The second is the verb TEACHING them to carefully observe - eg to DO... According to the sentence structure, teaching to do IS discipling... eg It is not teaching them...

    PERFECT LOVE

    Judas did not repent... He did not confess his sin... He did not turn to God... He did not return to Jesus... There comes a point, as it did with Pharaoh, when God just lets you go your own way... Had he repented and turned to God and returned to Jesus asking for forgiveness... Instead of...

    Paul said "Set aside what is behind" and he did not say that he WAS, but that I AM chief of sinners... And of the latter, that "Of sinners I AM Chief" is a faithful and true statement worthy of all veneration... Arsenios

    For 2000 years now and counting - The whole of the Church Christ established: "I believe O Lord and I confess... That Thou are the Christ... The Son of God... Who camest into the world... To save sinners... Of whom I am Chief..." Thus begins our confession of the Faith of Christ... In every...

    In the early Church, the person to be baptized into Christ would be fasting for 40 days, [Lent], then enter Holy Week, and be Baptized... THEN they would abide in the enclosure of the Church for 10 days in continuing prayer and fasting, that they not be tempted... That their new birth into...

    1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief. Paul himself, a Holy Apostle, describes himself as the worst of sinners... If this were true, he would have spoken in the past tense and said: NOT...

    I think he simply failed to repent of his sin... The difference between him and Peter is not the gravity of the sin... It is instead the gravity of not repenting... How un-confessed and un-repented sin even in the elect can condemn them... How such lack of repentance can destroy even the...
