Thanks Blaine.
I hope you get this before you read my book on
Polanyi {:>). I'll try to tone down the technical stuff. Sometimes, though, I
just can't help myself. Be patient with me, please.

Hi William,
I have enjoyed reading some of your
comments--I appreciate you trying to shorten your posts, since I
like reading short stuff better than long stuff. What I like best
though, is the word, "stuff." It is nice and general, and can be relied
upon as a truly nickel word when a dollar word will not come to mind.
(:>) You seem to have a lot of dollar words at the tip of your richly
endowed keyboard. (:>) In all honesty and candor, I think a lot
of what you're trying to say, however, is what I have come to call
TCBS--Traditional Christian Belief System. You will find most of my
posts reflect in some way or other my conviction that much of what is taught
in so-called Christian Churches is basically tradition--which is either
scantily supported by scripture, or supported only by the highly rationalized
interpretations of those who want to believe the traditions--for whatever
reasons. Your comments below are some of your better ones, so I am not
picking on you--at least not now! (:>) TT is fun, usually, so I
hope we can at least agree to disagree from time to time. Just keep in
mind, I never met a man I truly disliked--I even like Kevin, so you can see I
have a very charitable attitude--basically,
Peace,
Blaine (Just another simple,
unsophisticated Mormon boy, who loves the truth better than life)
(:>)

Did Christ include Judas in his death? Did He
die for him? I think, unless we want to go into a discussion of Limited
Atonement, we must conclude that He did. What then, if Christ took Judas
down with Him in death, would preclude him from Salvation? Will he (Judas)
not see resurrection? If Judas rejected Jesus Christ, what he did was
this: he refused to participate in the salvation provided him in the
resurrection of his Savior. The only thing that sends Judas to hell, then,
is Judas, if indeed Judas finally rejected Jesus Christ.
That's how I read
it. DAVEH: Thanx for your thoughtful
comments, Bill.

He was a devil DAVEH: Do you believe he was

Is the Devil saved? DAVEH: Not if he fails
endure to the end, as did Judas.
As a
tangential question Kevin.....Do you believe Jesus' grace can apply to
one who has been labeled a devil? IOW.....IF Judas had repented
and confessed after his betrayal of our Saviour, would he then have
qualified for salvation in your opinion?

If only Judas could have endured one more
moment?
DAVEH: That's exactly the
point.....he did not endure, but instead chose to betray. Do
you believe Judas had been saved at any time, Kevin? Had he
endured, then would he not have been saved as Jesus promises?
