    hello! I was just thinking about the lesson on Wednesday
    and I was just thinking about Judas and his life with the lord. I grew up believing that if you take your on life your basically going to Hell and also the fact that he betrayed Jesus Christ, But your saying just as long as he accepted Jesuse as his saveur there’s a place for him in G kingdom of God? I think i put it in wrong spot!

    But he sinned, and yes he was punished. Do you ever think that he felt bad about doing that? I bet he stayed up night after night knowing in his mind that HE was the that betrayed Christ and sent him to his death. Punishment doesn’t have to be a one way ticket to hell, it can be the smallest of things like guilt! We all sin! You and I both sin every day. (Unless your perfect =D). Does that mean we are going to hell for it? No! It doesn’t mean that every single time we sin we must ask to be saved again. That would get really annoying. Think: you are sitting in class and a girl walks in and shes got a HUGE zit, and inside your mind you laugh at her. Then unless you ask God to save you again, and again, and AGAIN, you destined for hell? I understand what you are saying, but I don’t think that God would do something so hard on us every single day of our life.
    I know that I, after a while, would get sick of asking him into my life. I would doubt his power too, I mean he can’t stay with us unless we are sinless? I don’t think I would be able to trust someone who moves around so much and doesn’t stay by my side at all times.
    I am just saying, Judas sinned, I sin, we all sin, but if God promises his kingdom to us if we accept him as Lord, we don’t have to worry about ever losing it.
    I know when growing up, the things your parents, friends, and community beleive seem to stay with you through your whole life, and I guess this is why I am arguing with you, I was raised knowing that I have eternal life in heaven no matter what I do, and you were raised knowing that at any time, your gift could be taken away.
    I will admire you if you keep what you believe, because standing up for what you beleive is called Valor, but I will also admire you if you take heed in what I just said.
    Well, I guess I kind of made you fall asleep there…
    Sincerley,
