That's funny, since you only can insult and claim your opinion, when I use scripture to validate what I teach.
Judas Iscariot was sent out as a sheep among wolves to preach the Gospel to the lost sheep of Israel, being empowered to heal the sick, cast out devil, raise the dead and cleanse the lepers.
And when He had called His twelve disciples to
Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the
son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. 5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.6
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go,
preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
Matthew 10:1-8
- But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 10:6
At this point, Judas was not yet lost.
- Please show me a scripture that teaches us, that Jesus sends out and empowers unbelievers to preach the Gospel to the lost and cast our devils and heal the sick, which are signs that follow believers:
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons... Mark 16:17
He was also appointed to sit on one of the twelve thrones with the others and reign with Jesus in the millennium.
- Judas was appointed to inherit eternal life.
28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.
Matthew 19:28-29
- you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
- Judas believed for a while, then fell by transgression, having become a traitor.
- A traitor, by definition belongs to a kingdom, then becomes a traitor.
- Someone who was never apart of a kingdom, may be an enemy, but to be a traitor they have to be a part of that kingdom, then defect and become a traitor.
12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, He called His disciples to
Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles: 14 Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; 15 Matthew and Thomas; James the
son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot; 16 Judas
the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also
became a traitor.
Luke 6:12-15
Saul was an enemy of the Gospel, then
became Paul, an Apostle of the Lord.
Judas was an Apostle of the Lord, then
became a traitor.
- Becomes means they were the one thing, then changed and became the other.
