Joel. God is not willing that ANY perish (II Pet. 3:9) but that ALL come to repentance. That "any" and "all" included Judas. Did Christ know that Judas would freely choose to betray Him? Yes. Does that mean He MADE Judas betray Him? NO! Judas chose to rebel long before the betrayal and was a thief who regularly stole from Jesus (John 12:6) Jesus loved Judas & called him, "friend" even in the garden. God only and always acts out of perfect justice and perfect love - that's His character!

Just picking at words. What you said , our indulgence mostly brings out our sinful nature.

[@askthepastoratlanta9095]

Do we have a 'sin nature' after salvation? Do people get half-healed? Partially blessed? Why isn't salvation preached in a whole, complete sense?

I've always enjoyed these commentaries, but he is wrong on this one. Children are disobedient without being taught. They are this way naturally until we teach them this is wrong, or that is wrong. He also contradicted himself.

where does our conscience comes in then if people teach we know right and wrong?

[@othalee]

Our conscience grows as we learn. People have been known to lie, cheat, steal, and even kill all without having a guilty conscience. Our conscience is linked to our spirit, as our spirit grows and matures in knowledge, so does our conscience. Our conscience is what bares witness to our spirit; however, I know that knowledge alone does not guarantee a good conscience. Many people know better, but do it anyway. I guess that would be selfishness.

Jeff are you a christian? are we born with sin,into sin, with a sinful nature or something else?

[@othalee]

Yes and yes. And to the other comment; Jesus did proclaim to be God, and yes there is a trinity. Both of these are clearly in the Bible.
