As pertains to Judas and the aspersions that are cast upon him for his betraying Jesus to the Sanhedrin.
Jesus tells us in the scriptures that describe his meditation prior to his arrest and while he was in the garden of Gethsemane, that he asked the Father to remove this cup from him if it be his will.
The coming arrest, torture, crucifixion. That perfect lamb of God, that unblemished final sacrifice that would take upon himself on the cross altar the sins of the world.
Jesus was born so as to die for the redemption of the sinful world he was born into. He knew this.

How would his mission otherwise be accomplished were it not for Judas setting it into motion?
How else would the son of God, the son of man, die for our sins?

We are all children of disobedience before being saved. (Eph 2). We all have the Devil as our father before regeneration. Men are not devils, but they can be possessed of them.

John 17:12 says Judas was lost, implying he lost his salvation.


"Implying" really??..

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
12. I kept—guarded.
them in thy name—acting as Thy Representative on earth.

none of them is lost, but the son of perdition—It is not implied here that the son of perdition was one of those whom the Father had given to the Son, but rather the contrary (Joh 13:18) [Webster and Wilkinson]. It is just as in Lu 4:26, 27, where we are not to suppose that the woman of Sarepta (in Sidon) was one of the widows of Israel, nor Naaman the Syrian one of the lepers in Israel, though the language—the same as here—might seem to express it.

son of perdition—doomed to it (2Th 2:3; Mr 14:21).

God knows the future and thus can prophesy through his prophets. We see everything on Monday morning. If Judas had not betrayed Jesus, He still would have been killed but there would be no prophecies about Judas. We confuse God telling us through prophecies what is going to happen with God preordaining men to hell.

Luke_22:2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
John_5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
John_7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Actually the bible tells us that God ordained it ... it was no "foreseen incident"

Isa37:26 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

God foreknew it but Judas exercised his free choice to betray Jesus. God did not make him do it.

Because when we start "implying " we can imply all the way to Mormonism.. ..what we know is what the scripture tells us

That's

That doesn't make sense. Youre implying that Judas's actions didn't cause Jesus's death.

Hello again,

I have found that there are indeed many other ways to establish biblical teaching against the OSAS doctrine. But so far I have found that Judas is a very strong one, and I have never had anyone given any credible scriptures against it. Jesus clearly calls His 12 sheep and he sent forth the 12 and ordained them and gave them power to cast out devils and they all belonged to the father before they were given to Jesus. Never have I heard any stand against these verses. Usually they just say No he couldn't have been saved, ( because that would mess up their teaching) or he was ALWAYS a thief and ALWAYS a devil. having no scripture to justify that. But most of the people I speak these things to rush in a frenzy and fear to other scriptures rather than dealing with the Matthew 10 Acts 1 John 17 Psalms 69 scriptures about Judas

Also the Holy Ghost baptism, was after Christ rose. The Spirit of Christ and the Spirit of the father was given before he rose. Jesus said before he rose from the dead that the Spirit of the Father would speak in them, Also Paul says that is ant man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of him Romans 8. That would include all OT saints as well. And Abraham had the Spirit of Christ as we do, Galatians 3.

The believers had the Spirit of Christ and were born again and showed they were born again before the cross by their confession of Jesus being the Christ the Son of God.( read 1 John 4:15 and 1 John 5:1).

it should make you believe more firmly, not works, unbelief is how we depart from the living God. This unbelief can happen as we are hardened through the deceitfulness of sin Hebrews 3

Judas was an apostle, a disciple, a sheep sent to the lost sheep, a familiar friend of Jesus whom he once trusted,

Judas can't be saved before Christ's death. Christ had to die to save Judas, just everyone else.


No all OT saints were SAINTS ( godly ) before Christ death but not without his death in time. David had salvation and when he had sin he prayed for forgiveness and asked God to restore unto him the joy of his salvation. David also asked God to CREATE IN him a clean heat and to renew a right spirt within him. This is the new birth. David was born again by the word of God he said things like " thy word hath quickened me" or thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee, (compare this with 1 John 3:9)

and jesus called Judas one of his sheep sent to the lost sheep. Jesus said he gives unto hsi sheep eternal life and they know him. And before the cross Jesus said of the believers

"12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost,..." John 17:12
